The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 20 threads.
What people say, in short
The Region appeals to fans of very thin, wide, lacy burgers, with the Diggity Dos named as a favorite order. That format is also divisive: diners object to patties extending too far beyond the bun, greasiness or insufficient seasoning. The sauce draws both praise and criticism, and several diners consider the meal expensive. One enthusiastic diner says the food travels well, but that is an individual report rather than a delivery guarantee.
