| - I found this place via FabFind...am glad I got a discount, am not glad I paid $36 additional for this dining experience.
Although I must say, the yam fries are pretty decent.
Against my pleading, my Fiance orders the OMG-this-will-kill-you (or whatever it's called) burger.... $18 of artery clogging brie, blue cheese, 6oz beef patty, a fried egg, bacon and chilli....Served with two sticks going through it because that's the only way it'll stand up. Oh and two cherry tomatoes on the stick...which we couldn't eat because a fly stalked us the entire meal and ended up staking its place on both tomatoes...so we had to throw them out.
What I didn't like about this place was the fact that you're just buying the burger. The sides are $4! Salad, fries, yam fries or onion rings are an extra $4.... who does that? It's not like they were ginormous sized sides either... just like a normal sized side you'd get at The Keg or Milestones. $4 is a jip dude!
To start, we ordered a big bowl of panko-crusted onion rings. I was expecting something a little more hearty, since this place looked had a total redneck feel to it. What arrived were prissy looking lightly battered onion rings with chipotle mayo. And the server forgot to bring Ketchup, despite there only being 3 other parties in the entire place.
I also ordered the Portobello mushroom burger with the pesto on the side and a side of yam fries. The fries were a hit. They smelled so yammy, like Christmas dinner yammy. And they weren't burnt, perhaps even a little under cooked but the smell made up for it.
Was gravely disappointed with the burger bun. It was really hard to chew, the tops were shiny (probably some kind of egg wash?). The pesto looked good... a vibrant green, not greasy...which tells me its not true pesto. And now that I think of it, maybe it was really fake pesto since the green was just so darned green (dye?).
So yeah, without FabFind I wouldn't have discovered this place and I really don't think I'll ever be back!
