| - I ate at Meathead's twice. The first time I ordered a burger, fries, and a drink. The total was about $9, so I expected a burger and fries for two, and the portion was huge. It looked really good, with fries overflowing the basket. The burger looked great...until I took a bite. I waited for some flavor, but it never came. On to the fries. Fresh cut, looking good...but tasted burnt. I was sitting close to a couple who I overheard discussing the food, and their thoughts were the same. The burger was tasteless. On my second visit, I ordered a Chicago Dog and fries. The dog was a footlong, but it also didn't have the snap or the meat flavor I expect in a Dog named Chicago. The fries were the same, huge portion, burnt tasting.
C'mon, Meathead's, man up. What's with your beef? It's can't be that hard to buy beef worth the prices you charge. When I occasionally eat at Mac's, I get a double with nothing on it, and even at Mac's, the beef flavor shines through. Five Guys will be here soon, and I'm hopeful we'll have a great burger in town. But I'm not counting on it. "Under promise, and over deliver." I think with franchise prices what they are, corners are often cut.
