So there's been talk of a new burger place in town that has awesomeness on a plate - at a good price to boot - so I had to check it out!I'm talking about Gordo's in Norwood - it's right across from the Norwood Library on Montgomery Rd. They don't have a website that I could find - if someone knows it - please send along and I'll link it!
So now - the important stuff - THE BURGERS!
The top photo is the Gordo burger - which has boursin cheese (I think? really creamy ala goat cheese but begins with a b) as well as mushrooms, bacon and some other stuff.
The second photo is a blackened burger with tomato, bacon and more good stuff...
All burgers come with fries at around $7.50.
They also have a wide variety of other items on the menu - appetizers, sandwiches and "entrees" such as pasta, etc...
The atmostphere is nice...it's recently been redone and looks great on the inside.
All that said - the service was a bit slow and it wasn't very busy (4 tables out of 20). Secondly - the burgers were all overcooked and dry. I asked for mine medium rare and everybody else asked for medium - they were all pretty much well done.
But the service (other than wait time) was great and the taste of the burgers was good. I like that they are trying unique flavors and the menu does look great. I'd like to go back and try them again...
I really love the burgers at Terry's - these are good but not as good as those - IMHO. BUT I do want to go back and try some of the other menu options...
So - the burgers - a 2.5 star - but I'm going to give it another whirl because it's close-by, affordable and has unique options. So let's say 2.75 stars!

I finally tried something else - got the chicken breast entree with bacon and mushrooms. It came with 2 sides and I chose roasted veges and potatoes gratin. It was delicious! Terry's has the best burgers in town - hands down. But Gordo's - you got that right! I can't wait to go back and try the other entrees!

hahaha! i just had terry's... we must both be thinking burgers. i have to try gordo's, i keep hearing about that place!
This is the greatest name of a place I've never heard of.
How were the fries?
Glad to hear that Norwood has internet now.
i liked the fries - they weren't super crispy but that's the way i like them...they were seasoned nicely as well.
they have happy hour specials of 75 cents off drinks and $1 off appetizers.
i really want to try their entrees...did i mention they also have a jean robert burger - it has goat cheese in it and grape compote on top...looked tasty enough...i might like a chicken sandwich with their burger toppings like you can do at red robin...
I still think Gaslight Cafe in Pleasant Ridge has not only the best burgers, but the best fries in town.
To me it's like Zips, but without the 35-minute wait for a table.
That is my hood! I do love the Gaslight - I need to do a one-night comparison of Gaslight vs. Terry's - cuz I can't imagine someone beating Terry's?!!!!!
We went to Gordo's a week or two ago, both got burgers. Both were ordered medium. Mine came out well done, hers came out RAW. Not a little pink, not a little bloody, but cold and RAW. We both eat meat regularly and know the difference, and can really actually enjoy a medium-rare meat. This was RAW. Please see the pictures I took of her burger at my review written on www.Urbanspoon.com
Meal was served last Saturday, Jan. 17, around noon.
If you want worms, eat at Gordo's. -never again.
