Hello to all of my fellow Foodies out there :)
This review of Cafe Bink will be short and sweet.... ok, well not so sweet.... but I will try to keep it short!
We went last weekend around 3:30p, the place was empty which is fine with us.... our thinking here is.... better service and fresh hot food.....
Cute ambiance... lots of ourdoor seating.... not too much indoor seating.
We chose from the "happy hour" menu which consisted of just a few items .
We really came to try these "fries" we read so much about and also decided to share a burger (which was on the happy hour menu).
We ordered the burger "medium rare"... standard order and for a restaurant in their "caliber" we expected a medium rare burger.
We also ordered the fries...of course!
We got the fries first and I dont get what the hype is about.
The fries are thick long strips that do not taste especially good but the dipping sauces were the saving grace. I am not a big salt person but I found it odd that there were no salt/pepper on the table and the fries had 0 seasoning.
We ate maybe 8 fries total between both of us... even the truffle ketchup wasent good enough to cover up the "not so great" fries.
Lets preface this by saying the food was ready and sitting under a heat lamp and our server nowhere to be seen.
Luckily someone else noticed the food sitting there and brought it to the table.
It was very nice that they cut it in half so we each had a plate.
However..... the burger was medium...WELL!
Come on now.... how can you trust a well reviewed restaurant that can't cook a burger Medium RARE?
The burger was quite juicy but did not make up for the Overcooking.
I ate 2 bites and along with the few fries asked for our check.
They did remove the burger from the bill...which any half way decent place would do.
We left there paying $12.00 for a couple bites of a burger a few fries and 1 soda.
Needless to say.... we will not be back!
I guess my review wasent as short and sweet as I said it would be....but if you have read any of my reviews you know... they are never short and sweet! lol
On that note, as I always say... Go... try.....and see for yourself
And until you do.......
Bon Appetite'
