Getting their start as one of the area’s first food trucks, Morty’s Grill now crushes sandwich and burger cravings full-time (Wednesday through Sunday) at their brick and mortar in Camino. Known for their namesake Morty Burger, my boyfriend and I happily complied by ordering one each along with a side of French Fries. Try not to be intimidated by its impressive list of ingredients and trust me: It will be one of the best burgers you’ve ever had, from the first mouthful (or two rather—it’s quite big!) to the last. With a charbroiled, all-beef double patty that’s perfectly seasoned and smothered in both cheddar and pepper jack cheeses; smoky, thick-cut bacon; a well-done fried egg (i.e. not too messy); and thinly sliced, peppery pastrami—all between a fresh sesame seed bun—this burger’s a handful of juicy goodness. Paired alongside a generous helping of French fries that were done to golden greatness, we were both tided over until late in the evening. With weekly open mic nights, a variety of live music and comedy shows, and local wines and brews, Morty’s has quickly become the go-to spot for good food and good fun.
