| - This downtown location is almost always busy. In a very nice corner of a nice new shopping/dining/pedestrian mall. Outside seating nice, inside is nice. It's new, so shiny, bright, clean.
I live two blocks way, and dine here about once a week. A regular double cheeseburger with back and "all the way" topings and regular fries will feed two modestly hungry people, say a skinny woman and man, with fries to spare. $12. Get two regular burgers and fries, add 3 or 4 bucks, and you've got a rich meal.
The burgers are great for fast food. Better than in n out, better than any other fast food burger. Fries are $2.50 but they serve like the equivalent of 2-3 extra large McDonalds fries portions, so it feeds me, the wife, and two small kids and we are stuffed.
They serve peanuts in the shell for a fun, messy way to pass the time waiting for the burgers to cook, and you can easily wait 10-15 minutes for your food to be ready.
Overally, the only negative is that these guys make such huge margins... charging $12 for a burger and fries in a fast food setting feels like highway robbery.
They get away with it because the quality is outstanding.
But honestly, I could get a better burger and fries, for about the same price, at a great restaurant.
So you be the judge. If you are a quality over quantity person in terms of bang for your buck, then come here and endulge. But this would be an expensive lunch habit if you work downtown and eat here often.
Of course you'd likely drop dead from a coronary far before you went broke.
And for the love of god don't order online. They just hold your order until you arrive, as people have complained otherwise that the fries aren't fresh. It maybe saves 5 minutes off the process, and of course waiting in line, but unless you are going during lunch rush hour, just head down there with a book or a companion.
