| - I bought an Amazon local deal a while back, which expired...but I had the paid value to use, so the BF and I stopped in for lunch on our way back from the Botanical Gardens. The decor was great! Really loved the patio. Lots of shade. A+ service. Granted, there weren't many customers since we got there right at 11am. Still the guy that waited on us was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a glass of their house Cabernet which was $5. Tasted great, but I had the worst....I mean, the WORST wine headache I've ever had in my entire life a couple hours later. It lingered until after I woke the next morning. Ugh.
I told our server I wanted the Hummus Nachos for my entree. The server said "They're actually pretty filling!" Hmmm. That should have been a red flag. I'll eat an appetizer for my meal quite often. Anyway, I had also seen on the menu that you could get cucumber instead of Pita for a GF option. Although I'm not GF, I do love cucumber with my hummus so I asked if I could have half cucumber, half pita. "No problem" he said. The BF ordered some burger with their Salut Fries.
So, 10 minutes later, out comes our food. The BF's burger and fries looked great! Best burger he's had in a really long time, he tells me later. As for my hummus nachos. 3 pita triangles, 3 small, thin slices of cucumber, each with a scoop of hummus, some diced red onion, and crumbled feta, and pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top, with a balsamic drizzle. Now his "They're actually quite filling" comment made a lot more sense. So, they tasted great, don't get me wrong. The ones made with pita were great. I could smash the hummus down to cover the pita, and dip it into the additional balsamic drizzle on my plate. Delish. The ones made with cucumber, well, the cucumber was sliced so thin, I could hardly pick them up, as they could not support the weight of the the hummus. It really just tasted like I was eating a big spoonful of hummus. This was $9? Well, now I know for next time. What really surprised me was when I got the bill, I was charged and extra $1 for those 3 ridiculously small slices of cucumber. Whaaat? At Pita Jungle you get almost an entire sliced up cucumber for a dollar, and you still get your pita too! I ended up eating half of the BF's fries, which were good, but soaked in oil and garlic. As if fries aren't greasy enough to start.
I'll go again, since my BF loved his burger so much, but I won't get the house cab, and I won't was my money on those nachos.
