It was very good. I just enjoy having a little more pork in the sandwich. Did not order extra pork because I never had it before and did not know what to expect.

Reduce price of plain burger compared to burgers with all toppings. Should be more like $7 given extra patty is $4 and plain burger is patty plus bun.
