| - Located off of Woodlawn, right next to the 77 exits cluster, formerly a Krispy Kreme (RIP glazed doughy goodness), is a new burger/dog joint. And when I say burger/dog joint, that is what I mean. That is what they have. Burgers, dogs, fries and I think I saw some kind of chili empanada.
There is limited seating - a row of affixed stools at the "bar" on the other side of the exposed kitchen and maybe 8 tables with varying amounts of seating at each. You would think because they only have 3 items with just different toppings, that it would be fast. That would be wrong. The two gentlemen (owners from what I saw on the website) looked like it was their first day ever doing this, but since they have only been open for about a month (I think), hopefully they will get in the groove. We weren't in a hurry, but if we were this would have caused some angst rather than giggles.
You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. My order of fries (to split with my dining buddy), chili cheeseburger (there was no chili, but after waiting for 25 minutes, I was going to eat what they gave me), chili cheese dog and drink came to around $10.
The food:
Chili cheeseburger - I had no chili on mine (dammit!), but the bun was toastedish and the burger was tasty, though a bit small (like Wendy's Jr. size). If you are a hungry adult, you'll need to order a double/triple/multiple.
Chili cheese dog (pictured) - Friggin mess. It looked like they threw the dog/bun in the basket and just coated it with cheese and chili. That being said, I used a spork to try to clean it up some so I could pick it up and eat it. Fairly good snap to the skin, but it tasted like it was boiled. It was fine, but I have rarely met a hot dog that I refused to eat and my stomach was eating through to my spine from waiting. Cheese was good, chili was good.
Fries - Reminded me of 5 Guys - fresh cut and skins on. I ate a few and passed the rest onto my friend.
Fountain drinks are a buck and self serve, along with sweet/unsweet tea.
If you have a craving for a greasy joint kind of lunch, this is the place for you. I would eat there again if in the mood, and it's a nice addition to the lunch choices on this side of town, but I won't be rushing back.
