| - Weslodge... I've visited you quite a few times, and this time you have left me nothing shy of disappointed.. this was my second foray for eats, and I was craving a really good burger cooked just the way you like it (they do have medium rare perfectedl), so Weslodge was an obvious choice to satiate this hankering..
Stopped in for lunch just after peak time. There were plenty of seats available, and the resto wasn't exceedingly busy by any means. The hostess seated us, and we sat and waited.. and sat some more... tried to make eye contact with the waiters who were serving the table behind us and to the side of us... and waited some more.. Almost 15 minutes before I had to request for the waiter who was again serving the table next to us, for him to take our orders. It was like no one had noticed that we hadn't even been served water..
So the waiter took our order, and about 10 minutes later another server came over and asked us if we'd been helped yet (!!!). Really?! Haven't you noticed us sitting here for the past 25 minutes?! Sort of.. amazing... especially given you're really not so busy and it's after peak lunch rush...
So, when our food arrived, I have a few points to mention: the serving of fries was TINY!!! I mean, come on... potatoes are the cheapest side on the planet, so I find it kind of ridiculous when you are served a tiny handful of fries. It's a burger and fries, and I'm not looking for a massive portion by any means, but more than about 8 fries would be really nice... The burger, as usual, was really tasty and cooked just above medium rare, but was still really good, so no complaints on that note. The dill pickle was also delish, and a decent size. I'd asked for ketchup when we were served, and the waiter said there was some on the plate (I didn't see it on the other side of the burger). Well... this definitely wasn't ketchup! I'm not sure what exactly it was (tasted more like a sweet chutney; just a very odd combination with a burger, fries and a dill pickle). I've heard time and time again from others that Weslodge is just trying too hard when it comes to being different and experimental, and on this note I would have to agree. I don't understand the pairing of the "ketchup" (aka sweet and tangy chutney) with a truly delicous burger and the very small - sorry, had to reiterate that once again - portion of salty fries). I've been a fan of Weslodge until this point, as they do make a mean cocktail and burger, but this just left a bad taste in my mouth in terms of their very shoddy service, a puny serving of fries, and a very odd-pairing. Sad to say I don't think I'll be back for this burger again, anytime soon..
