| - I think this is a place that is worth trying at least one time whether it's this one or any of the other locations. I personally don't think I could go often.
Service was pretty good. I went for lunch on a Saturday with 3 other people. The place was about half full so we got seats right away. Our waiter did well. He was laid back, but he seemed to truly enjoy working there. Most of the employees had the hipster look. The decor is random with Christmas, Halloween, & Easter decorations on the walls. The menus are on old record album covers.
Now, on to the important part: the food. I didn't look at anything on the menu other than the grilled cheese since that's why they're famous. I got the Chicken & Waffles (battered chicken, waffle, sriracha butter, & pepper jack cheese with maple syrup for dipping). It was good but I was slightly disappointed. The sandwich, like all of their sandwiches, was gigantic. The bread is really thick and I think I would have preferred thinner slices of bread. The sriracha butter and pepper jack cheese implied it would be a little spicy. I definitely didn't taste anything spicy. Dipping it in the maple syrup was good, but a little rich and made the sandwich extra messy. Now, the chicken and waffle were both fantastic and the cheese was melted to perfection. I only ate half of the sandwich and took the rest home which is saying something because I finish nearly everything at restaurants. The other 3 people ordered different sandwiches and all seemed to enjoy theirs although we all agreed that we would prefer less bread on the sandwiches.
This is not a solid 4 stars for me, more like 3.5 stars but I would recommend at least going one time to this place. To me, it's more of a novelty restaurant that's fun to go to every once in a while. I think I would get sick if I went more often. Maybe if I go again, I'll have to find something a little healthier.
