| - First time diner at Royal Meats, and I'll start with Not bad!
When we pulled into the parking lot the building itself just screams Modern and I immediately knew I was going to pay a little more to eat here.
This is an interesting place as it is caught between fast food and fine dining, When you walk in you have the option to stand and order off a menu on the wall, or be seated in the dining room and served. For this day as we were in no rush decided to sit.
Great menu, with some very enticing items on it. We were having lunch so I went with the Royal Burger, and chose the large portion size. However when the burger arrived i immediate questioned my decision. Let me clarify it looked fantastic, however it was MASSIVE. MY friend explained it was a 1LB patty, and every bit of that pound was laid out in front of me.
Flavour wise, it was surprisingly good. Juicy, some decent flavours, and a great feta spread was placed on the bun. It didn't stand out by any means as the best burger i have had but it was good. A little refinement could elevate it to a stand out level. We shared an order of fries with the meal, and those were very good.
The service was fine, quick and organized which is what i expect when i sit down.
Interior was very well done and nicely thought out.
The reason for only leaving a 3 star is a bit of what i just mentioned,
1) The sit down vs self order options added some initial confusion I think a place like this needs to commit to one or the other. Based on the style of the place to me it would have been as if there was a take-out window at the keg.
2) Food was good - however portion size was a little overkill. With that i felt they missed an opportunity to enhance flavour.
In the end, would I return. I would!!!
