| - I was driving by this place and thought I'd try it. I ordered the burger combo with fries.
First the positives:
1. The fries were amazing! I love these fries. Thick-cut, fresh not frozen, potatoey insides, crisp exteriors, not overly greasy. Absolute fry perfection. Like the best chip chuck fries. Oh my golly. I will come back here again and have the fries. So yummy.
2. The girl taking my order was super friendly.
3. They had Just for Laughs Gags on so it was fun to watch while waiting for my order.
The negatives:
1. Took a while for my order. At least 15 minutes, maybe more. No one was in front of me, but I guess they were busy making call ahead orders. Calling ahead is probably something you want to do if you're planning on coming here. If you're just driving by and come here on a whim, be prepared to wait.
2. They're renovating the bathrooms and so they're not available for customer use. I just wanted to wash my hands. The contractor was in the ladies' so I tried that men's room. It was obviously in the midst of being renovated as well. There was no mirror, no handsoap. I did find some handsoap outside of the washroom and brought that in to wash my hands.
3. My burger patty was dry. Really dry. No moisture to be found anywhere dry. I was hoping this was a one-off bad burger experience, but another reviewer warned that you should be prepared to like your burger overly charred and over well done. That's a shame. This place could be a real contender if it didn't insist on cooking their burgers to the point where every bit of moisture has been obliterated.
I may go back and try another burger hoping for a more juicy patty, but even if that doesn't pan out, at least I know the fries are exceptional.
