I drove by here a few times and saw a roadsign sign at the Cider Mill Country Store on 101 near the Amherst/Bedford line for "$4.99 Angus and Fries" at this place and I figured driving by this time, i'd try it out.
Angus beef comes from a particular breed of cattle from Scotland and it's generally more tender than regular beef. A few years ago, Burger King and McDonalds started offering Angus Burgers as a more premium alternative to their normal fare, but usually the meals that include their Angus offerings hover around $6-$8.
With a drink, the Angus Burger with fries at the Cider Mill is comparable in price to the fast food joints, and the staff was just about as friendly as the fast food chains, when I arrived there was only one person manning the register and the grill. I suppose then, one would ask, is why anyone would eat this Angus versus the fast food Anguses?
In the end, it's an Apples and Oranges thing. This burger was satisfying, and the Apple Mill is a mini-grocery store and also technically a historical site (Horace Greeley, the guy who coined the phrase "Go West, Young Man", was born near here), so looking at it that way, it's certainly a change of pace from the drive-thru window.
But is it better? I'll leave that up to you. Chances are you'll like what you're eating as you decide though.
