| - We tried this with a small group earlier in the year, opting for the new over the tried and true (and hit and miss) Yellow Griffin. The first thing you notice about The Works is the interesting decor. I'm not sure what they were aiming for, maybe some sort of truck stop theme, but it's entertaining at least.
Our waiter was quick to come. As he should have been; There was a very young looking manager standing up at the back of the restaurant, slightly elevated, watching over everything. It was very.. interesting, but our waiter was very nice, knew the menu completely and made some beer recommendations that our group was pleased with.
On the menu, there's plenty of variety and much like the aforementioned Yellow Griffin, there were plenty of unusual burgers to choose from. It was a pretty busy day and the food did take over twenty minutes to come. Burgers were very good and juicy, with quality buns. Fries were fine, but not entirely memorable. Soft drinks were served in hilarious measuring cups to go with the restaurant theme.
Overall it was a decent experience, but nothing special. Especially considering the price. We would definitely try this balance once more though if we were back in the neighbourhood and jonesing for a burger. You should at least try it out too.
