'Grease' is the word....for Burgers in West Palm Beach

I was on the 91 Train out of Tampa to West Palm Beach on Wednesday, and wound up having a delightful conversation with my ‘chance,’ (there are no accidents) train mate.  Turns out we had so much in common; it was like we’ve known each other for years.  Anyway, during the roughly three hour ride, we had a delightful conversation and talked about just a ton of stuff; and don’t you know, the subject of my dining reviews came up.

She visits her daughter in the West Palm Beach area with some frequency and mentioned a place down on Clematis Street that might make a good subject to review.  She described it as having great burgers with reasonable pricing; it not only sounded good, it got me in the mood for a burger, and since 'Grease’ is just down the street from the train station, I decided to check them out.

I’m very glad I did.  First of all, the location is excellent; right at the bottom of Clematis, a short walk from the Inter-coastal, parking was easy, and the approach and entryway are very inviting.  So, I went in and right away got caught up in the very comfortable atmosphere.  It was still early so it wasn’t real busy, and the staff was very attentive and courteous.

I decided to sit at the bar; so I ordered a beer, and began reading the menu.  All of the burger items looked enticing, and I was just about to order when Michele suggested the Special of the Day.  By her description, it sounded almost like a Reuben only with a burger; so I opted for it.

When it arrived, I noticed right away that it was huge; when I bit into it, I knew right away that I made the right choice.  It was perfectly done, juicy, and with just enough of the tasty dressing so that it complemented the burger/rye bread combination perfectly.  I was kind of surprised that it didn’t come with any sort of fries or side dish, however, it’s just as well since I’m trying to watch that and I would have devoured them had they been there.

It’s official then, we highly recommend 'Grease’ which is now my new favorite place for lunch or dinner in West Palm Beach when I’m wanting a burger, and I’m looking forward to checking them out on a Friday or Saturday evening in the near future.  

The Patriots Press gives them 5 out of 5 stars and you’ll find them at 213 No. Clematis St. in West Palm Beach; their phone number is 561 651 1075.
