| - I know that this location just opened so... I'll try to be a little easy on the negatives...
Let's start with the negatives:
1.Frazzled staff. I went on a weekday and got there right at 2pm, usually when the lunch rush is winding down. The place had many employees but they all were running around all over the place and when I entered, I was asked to take a sit after I told them I'd be dining in. I sat for five minute as waitresses walked by me a hundred times before I had to get up and say "Hey, can I get some service?" They were really polite and apologetic.
2. Over-priced. I spent $11.00 and change (plus $2.00 tip) on a chicken sandwich, gravy fries, and a soft drink. The quality is maybe one step higher than fast food places and maybe one notch lower than franchise restaurants like TGIF or Chilies... yet, the price up there with Chilies. This is due to them offering only one combo for a burger, so if you want a burger and fries and not a chicken sandwhich (fried or grilled), it's way more expensive as there were no combo options (I asked).
Really, that's all.
Pros:
1. Atmosphere. It is clearly doing the 50s vibe, with the layout, decorations, colors, and oldies music playing. It was relaxed, had plenty of space, and is overall a good place to go to lunch. It was very clean, obviously since it just opened.
2. Food. While overpriced due to no combo values, the food was good. I'll be trying more menu items as time goes by, just to get some variety. It's greasy, it's fattening, it's delicious. My fried chicken sandwich was tasty and this being the first time I've had gravy fries, I am now a fan of them. As I've said, I would say it's one notch higher than fast food like Zaxby's, a place I really like by the way, and about a notch lower than TGIFs, another place I really like, so this is a compliment.
