I've only been to cans once and it was on a sunday afternoon, so I can't really comment on the crowd (the place was pretty empty). But I do know that I definitely wouldn't go back for the food. I ate dinner at the bar and walked in starving, so everything on the menu sounded good. I asked the bartender for her advice and she told me that the hummus was amazing and that the mac n cheese was "sooooooooo goooooood!" So I ordered the hummus to start and the mac n cheese as a side for my burger.
The hummus was.....not so good. It didn't have much flavor and tasted like a bad store bought spread. The burger was definitely nothing great, I actually didn't even finish it. I thought hey, the mac n cheese will be out of this world so I'll save room. Not so much. It looked like bad elbow macaroni with even worse cheddar cheese thrown on top of it, not even melted. And the inside was cold. I may go back to check out the rooftop and/or downstairs on a Thursday of Friday night, but other than that, I wasn't really feeling this place.
