| - It's one of those places that you walk up to on a Sunday evening and can tell something is a little off. You open the door and your ears are flooded with very loud thumping music even though the place is empty. The energy just didn't match the stimulus. I sat outside, it's loud out there too because of road noise.
It's one of those places that asks you if you've been there before. You know, because ordering off a menu is a unique thing and you might need some extra help. A few exchanges of smiles with the register lets you know they know it's cheesy too. But when you are trying to create a brand you have to do what you have to do. More about branding later.
So I ordered the cheese Burger Fi Cheeseburger (yup they have their own name for that too), onion rings (because a friend said they are awesome) and a nice summer beer (maybe 8 different pulls to pick from). Grand total, $15.81 of which $3.47 was the beer.
So how was it? Presentation was pretty good (see photo). The burger was small (about size of the tomato slice), branded (yes literally branded with the brand by a branding iron), the onion rings were huge (each one bigger than the burger), the beer cold. The burger tasted really good and very cheesy. The onion rings were too big, hard to eat so big and you know giant onions don't taste as good and are very chewy compared to normal sized onions.
I would comment more on service but it's kinda like a fast food place in that regard. Go get your napkins, catsup, drinks and straws yourself.
Welp, I had to try it but I won't be back unless I'm with someone who really really wants to come here. Good news is Aladdin's Eatery is across the street.
