| - Pleasantly surprised with this place. Went here for the first time some weeks ago and went again today. Both times I got the Big Wac which seems to be their most popular item. I mean, I'd planned to try something different but after poring over the menu I just couldn't pass up the Wac again, as many of the other dishes sounded spicy and I didn't particularly want a spicy meal today for reasons I'll keep to myself :-)
People-watching while waiting for the food to be delivered was interesting. This place definitely has a certain type of clientele. Flesh-colored yoga pants, tree-hugger sandals, tattoos even shittier than those you might see at Pita Jungle (which is definitely saying something), the rogue's gallery of patrons brought a wan smile to my face at least once a minute until lunch was served.
The burger itself is surprisingly tasty. They lay on the pickles pretty thick, and it doesn't have much cheese or ANY tomato, but even so it was soft and delish. The fries were meh. They call them thyme fries, but I pretty much didn't see any thyme on them - maybe a few microscopic dots of green? But for the most part, just regular shoestring fries, maybe a bit drier than normal, and far from the best fries I've ever had.
Great thing about the meal is that you somehow don't feel shitty afterward. After a regular Big Mac I'm filled with self-loathing. An hour after my Big Wac I was happily enjoying an afternoon coffee and feeling pretty good.
If I could suggest one thing, it would be for these guys to pick different names for their menu items. Fun to read at first, but if McDonalds, Wendy's etc (they also have an item called "Wendy's Pickle") catch wind of their trademarks being used like this it could spell big trouble real quick. Maccas probably have more lawyers than employees! One whopper of a law suit (see what I did there?) could probably take this joint down. Plus it's difficult to say "I'll have a big WAC please" at the front counter without breaking out into a shit-eating puerile grin. Oh, and another suggestion - arrange more parking space. The parking SUCKS. Assholes parking on the left and right of the place make it almost impossible to manoeuvre anything bigger than a VW beetle around and out again. Good luck with your F150s, nouveau cuisine gourmands..
Also, fix the fries. They're not worth the money you're charging for them.
That all being said, I'll definitely be back! And MAYBE I'll try a new menu item next time round.
