| - Went there today due to web coupon (pay $10 ahead of time, get $20 off our total when there). I wouldn't go to any 'gourmet' overpriced burger joint otherwise.
I got the "You Fat Pig". Figured it'd be interesting to try a burger made entirely out of ground bacon (with bacon strips, and cheese, and a bacon dressing). Taste-wise, it was decent. It was about as expected. The problem that it was WAAAAAAYYYY too salty. Like, yeah, I know bacon is cured... but this thing was sodium city. I would not get it again.
I also got fries. I'd say the quantity was worth the price, especially with the coupon. More important is the taste... their fries were very good. Thin and crispy with a nice flavour.
My friend got the signature "Holy Chuck". He said it was good, but quite small. I commented on how fairly small both burgers were.
Value? Well, without the coupon, we'd never go there. My burger was definitely not worth $11.99 and my friend's was not worth $9.99 -- these up-scale pretentious fast food joints are getting annoyingly common and all charge far too much. It's a hipster movement and it's not worth the price tag at all.
Would I return? Probably not. Even with a coupon, the value is pretty horrific. I'd much rather a burger combo elsewhere for $10, rather than here where the burger on its own is $12, and to get a burger + fries + milkshake + tax =at least $21.
With the coupon, you could in fact grab $20 worth of stuff and pay $10, but the burger was small and it was out of the way to get there. Plus if the value is so poor that you need a coupon to make it worthwhile, it's not worth it.
