| - 2.5* I was blown away by the food during a recent YEE, so I decided to pop in at the end of a long week for dinner. I'm disappointed to report that the food wasn't as good this visit. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes?
I was dying to try one of their burgers - after all, it's sourced from local beef - so I ordered the seasonal burger, the Goomba with arugula, wild mushrooms, & smoked gouda. Sounds good, right? Not really. Wild mushrooms were similar in texture to king oysters, but in caps, chopped in chunks. I couldn't taste the arugula or cheese and I didn't care for the orangey-red sauce. Patty wasn't seasoned, on the dry side, and I did taste a burnt piece. Overall, the components didn't taste good together.
Burger itself was ~$8 (small, but adequate size) and I added a drink/sweet potato fries combo for an additional $4.79. Sweet potato fries could've been crispier. And who can resist the unique fountain drinks? I found drinks were still very sweet though, so FYI to all parents! I had to water them down.
Bf ordered the Power Bowl ($12). I didn't taste it, but he insisted that I have a piece of the fried egg on top because he said it was cold. And in fact, the egg was unexpectedly COLD.
(I preferred the Spicy Avo & Lime Bowl, but he can't handle spice, so he didn't order that. Otherwise, I think he would've enjoyed that bowl much better.)
I'm not sure if the other reviews mentioned this, but DO NOT EXPECT McD's timed delivery for your food. I believe I waited approx. 20mins for a bowl & burger.
I would go back again and really think this place has tons of potential, but it isn't quite there yet.
