Going "classic" is always the way to go when trying out new burger places. I think simple fillings will let you focus on the main character more - the beef. The "Classic" choice was plainly with beef, butter lettuce, tomato and red onions. Beef & Liberty has its beef patty totally right! Just beef-y enough and the mmm ummm grilled-flavor. I ordered medium rare thinking that Hong Kong restaurants tend to overcook all their beef, yet this place took their temperature very seriously and literally,

I ordered medium rare thinking that Hong Kong restaurants tend to overcook all their beef, yet this place took their temperature very seriously and literally, so I would do medium at the next visit. I would say I prefer B&L than the biggest/latest hit in town, The Butchers Club Burgers, because their patty was slightly too gamey for my taste (yes, I know, because they use serious dry-aged beef).
My family also shared the Rocket & Mandarin Orange Salad, Sweet Potato Fries [heavenly and addictive] and Apple Pie with Creme Anglaise [fairly large in portion]. They were all homey tasting and great, making me think that any items on the menu were worth trying. I wanted to make a special mention on the service. All servers were real professional but retaining their chatty, casual attitude. It felt good to find servers that would chit chat a bit instead of just putting in your order and getting food to your table. It sounds like "duh, all restaurants should be like that" but it is rare in Hong Kong.
My mom ordered her burger also in medium rare and found that it too "pink". She thought she could take it but after a few bites, nehhh. We asked to re-cook it a bit further, nicely of course. The server gladly took it back and came back with a new burger awhile later!! And guess what, she took it off the bill!! Ok, PLEASE DON'T take advantage of this but this is the kind of service that keeps people coming back; that customer satisfaction is the key to any business success, even if I'm earning a few dollars less this time.
