What people say, in short
People recommend The Bon Aire for its burger, and a couple point to the half-pound burger. One says it evokes backyard cookouts, one puts it in their top S tier, and one names it among their top brewpub burgers. Caveats: one says it is always cooked well done and oversalted, one calls it low-end and advises going elsewhere for a better burger, and one says the toppings are limited though it pairs with menu items like toasted ravioli.
