Bun: The bun started out decent. First bite was flavorful and buttery, but lacked any crunch. Each subsequent bite revealed the bun to be tiresome. The texture was a bit odd, dense and crumbly.  This was the weakest part of this sandwich and by the end I would of preferred a fork.    Score: 2

Beef:  TENDER. Thinly sliced and juicy. This beef had it all. Lots of au jus flavor, and it melted in your mouth. My super beef had copious amounts of beef as well.    Score: 5

Sauce:  The sauce has good amount of tang with black pepper spice. No complaints. Score: 5

Overall:   Amazing beef, horrible bun. Score: 3

Notes: Spicy fries were tasty but over salted.
