| - I went here, solo, not long after the place opened. To begin with, it was very crowded, and I was seated at a table at a window. Ordinarily I prefer a window table, but this was an extremely cold evening, and they were having a heating problem. As in, NONE, and even cold air blowing. Most people, myself included, wore coats the entire time. I personally HATE to be cold, so this was strike one. When I was given a menu, I was astounded at how limited it was--mainly po'boys and build-your-own burgers, and very little else. Now let me say that when I dine out alone, I rarely check the prices because I choose places where paying a check for one person is never a problem. That being said, I ordered a peach cobbler alcoholic shake and a build-your-own burger. The shake was AWESOME, very flavorful, and you get not only a glassful, but also extra in one of those old metal shake cups. The burger, to which I added cheese and grilled onions, was a goodly size and was very tasty with good melty cheese and lots of onions grilled just right. Then the check came. I discovered that the shake was $10. Okay, it was creative and had a shot of booze in it, but still, it's just a shake! I could see $6, or even $7 if you really pushed it...but $10?? Wow. The total amount was close to $28 FOR ONE PERSON, add on a {generous} tip, and I feel that's waaaay too high for this area. So, given the extremely limited menu and what I feel is overpricing, it's very likely that I won't go back. Pity, really. I was hoping for a great very local place at which to be a regular.
