| - People seem to love it here but I just don't get it. Feels like more hype than substance. Don't get me wrong, the food was ok; I just think it's way overpriced. It's as if they package it small to give the appearance of getting more than you do. I know I'm focusing on price here but when you are going for fast food you're generally not looking to spend a lot. Hey, tons of free peanuts everywhere. Just scoop them up from any of the open boxes around the store.
Basically I had a regular double cheeseburger, fries and a soft drink. The regular size fries I know from experience is a lot, more fries than any one person should eat. So I go with the "little" size, almost $3 and I'll say it was a small to normal size portion of fries. They were ok, some tasted over cooked and a little greasy but hey...it's fries right? The container for the fries itself was really small but it overflows into the bag.
The burger was $6.79, I mean really? It was 2 above average sized patties which were somewhat over cooked. The cheese was not melted, just hard and cold like in a cheese sandwich. The toppings, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, raw onions, tasted fresh and you can have any toppings you want for the price. It was a large list to choose from. The bun was fairly small, so the topping amounts they can fit on the burger were very limited by the size of the bun. Typical sponge dough like bread that that falls apart as you eat. It comes to you wrapped in Reynolds Wrap-like foil.
The small soda, 20 ounces, was $2.39, and other than the fancy multiple favors machine it was just a soft drink beverage. I pay 2.39 for a beverage in any restaurant served in a glass, table service, comfortable place to sit and some casual ambience.
The interior of the place is very basic with aluminum chairs made to look like wood. It feels more like you are in the kitchen with the stark white walls and fluorescent lighting.
The employees very friendly people though. I get the impression that they deal with sticker-shock a lot as they are ready with their answers of proposed value when I commented on price. Pictures included here.
Total price for a burger, fries and soda was $12.84 with tax. If I had ordered the regular sized fries which most would normally do this would have been over $14.00 with tax. Four people would be $56.00. Like I said, I just don't get it. Lots of price, no substance.
