| - So, after a serious craving for RED MEAT, my boyfriend & i decided to try this new joint. Living on King St W has his benefits, and usually a burger craving would send us to Craft Burger, good 'ol faithful -- but tonight, we strayed. With great regret ...
It's 7pm.
Thursday evening. Even though we'd checked this site for reviews (which were scattered at best) we thought we'd give it a go. Mid week, later in the evening. Give it the benefit of the doubt.
The place was still busy.
But really, just full of a few people sitting-in to eat. We drove there, to check the place out, and place our take-out order in person - less chance of error ... riiiiiiiiight?!?
The 2 guys behind the counter were talking a lot of sh*it ... which we noticed right off when we walked in. They weren't young, but they were extremely 'young' acting, and immature.
We kinda knew what we were in for, but decided to continue in ..
The 'girl behind the cash' was a mid-aged-overly-made-up blonde girl, who looked lovely, but didn't have much rattling around in her head.
We placed our orderr: a little oh boy combo (there version of 2 sliders & 1 side (fries) & drink) and a Hog Town Combo (w/fries) and a single order of Onion Rings.
So, as we're waiting, we watch these 2 guys (I'll call them Griller #1 & Griller #2) huddled behind a very very small work space & exposed grill, that's publically displayed, so we can watch the exciting grilling action - kinda cool, right?
No, not really.
Because of the heat, it was just a fogged up mess.
But after witnessing what little we did, I highly doubt they'll want to advertise what goes on behind there!
My boyfriend then notices the box of burgers, on the floor. Just sittin' there.
We then watch, a guy come to pick up his order, and confirm his request of 'NO MAYONNAISE'. Griller #1 behind the counter, then looks at the burger in his hand, that he had just squired a load of mayo on. Noticing his mistake (and the guy who had requested it), he throws the burger to one side, and accepts a 'fresh' burger from Griller #2. And he re-makes his burger. This time with no mayo.
Griller #2 must see potential for resale (!), so he starts scraping the mayo off .. and throws it back on the grill!!!
AHHHHH!!
Griller # 1 & Griller #2 were definite loud mouths - they were swearing, and making fun of how bad their service was - they were joking about drug use *including being under the influence* .. just the weirdest crap I'd ever heard spewing out ... and completely unprofessional.
We also witnessed them re-frying food.
fries specifically.
Our food was 'ready' -
So. We never got the single order of onion rings. We didn't notice this until we got home, and inspected our dinner.
That, after we had watched the one Griller get in 'trouble' from the other Griller, for serving 'too many onion rings' in an order.
Makes one wonder ...
So, for $32.21 - failed & incomplete order
.75 cents - 20 minutes of parking,
Oh Boy! Did we get ripped off.
This all happened while we were there.
I'm actually not even done my meal, but wanted to write this review while it was so fresh in my mind.
AND//
They Had NO DIET POP.
burger was dry.dry.dry.
ugh.
