| - This is a solid 3 star place.
I went for lunch 8 days ago with a work friend. We sat outside.
the Good:
I had the veggie burger (fried, not grilled) as a 'meal' with fries and a regular size drink. The veggie burger was probably one of the best of these I've ever had. I've had them several places, even at Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland, and they usually are *terrible*. This one was good. Fries were tasty. The service was nice: they seemed interested in whether we came back, so I'll give them points for that. Always good :)!
the Bad:
The charge was $9.36 for the veggie burger meal. My friend got a charburger meal, same sizes of everything: $10.36. Given this the drink seemed small (and a foam cup!) and the amount of fries seemed small, even though I ended up full enough. For the same or less money at FiveGuys you feel like you get more fries and a better drink cup, plus free peanuts. You may say I am kibbitzing (not the same as kibbutzing) but when you have 2 places close in price you try to separate them and look at value. They also seem to expect a tip here, whereas at FiveGuys it is not so. Now if you are paying $11.00 for burger and fires, then adding a tip, I'll skip the soda pop and go to Red Robin. Unlimited awesome fries, huge burger (or whatever), you see my point.
The interior also seemed in need of help, for 2 reasons. I just felt like I didn't want to sit inside. The FiveGuys dining room comes off as inviting, unlike this place, but I couldn't tell you why. Also: when they made the charburgers, stuff was charring. Literally smoke is coming through the kitchen pass-through and kind of hanging in the dining room. They may have had a vent issue that day or I don't know what, but when it got going there was some smoke going on.
