Springbok (Antelope) burger with mustard, mayo, and cranberry sauce.  Also, white cheddar, lettuce, and onions.  I've had a number of burgers from this place, and while my favorite is the zebra, I haven't been disappointed yet (unless you count the time I undercooked the kangaroo burger).  There's something very honest and frank about the taste of the game meat in their burgers.  The springbok was good, but it wasn't quite as good as the reindeer burger they were serving over the holidays (festive!).  Add to that the fact that they don't melt the cheese on the burger and they're really only serving them as a way to get you to buy raw meat from their butcher's case, and you're docked a copule points.  I'd have expected the three sauces to be a little too much, but they actually work very well together, perhaps because the homemade cranberry sauce was used sparingly.  Add it all up and you've got an above average burger with perhaps below average
presentation.  If I were grading the meat by itself, we'd be looking at a 9 or better, so you're better off getting some raw patties and doing them at home.
