| - This was my first time here. Once again, it was the weekend and I came to the nearby library to study. I was actually planning to go to Yummi's hamburger for lunch but for some reason I couldn't find it. Instead I went to this burger joint instead. I'm full and my stomach and satisfied, but that's about it.
I think this is a family own business. The decor is nice, clean, friendly. The menu is really small. They have a few burgers ranging in different sizes, a few sandwiches, and a few sides I think as well. Today I ordered the chef burger (7-8 oz patty) and fries. They don't have a combo deal here, so you got to order everything separately. My meal came out to be 13 bucks today.
The burger first of all was dry and not seasoned. I think I could've got a better burger anywhere else. They ALMOST didn't toast my bun either. I really don't like eating a hot and cold hamburger. The person making my burger said it came out of the oven I think but it definitely didn't look toasted and hot from where I was standing. I asked him if he could toast it for me and he did. There are a basic selection of veggies, and sauces you would see on a regular burger you get at home or a family BBQ. I don't usually go out and eat for places like this.
The fries were probably the worst. Not crispy, and they also forgot about my order (I had to remind them I ordered fries). They were not seasoned at all, so I had to bring out the salt shaker. Even if I tried, I couldn't find a compliment for the fries. Eventually it got so bad that I had to take out the ketchup (I usually don't like using ketchup) and dip the fries in it so that I could get a change in flavour.
I think lack of passion is the problem with this place. Food is a business but just like everything else in life, you need to be passionate about what you do. In fact, in a customer-oriented business like a restaurant, lack of passion really reflects in the quality of service and FOOD most importantly.
If I wanted this kind of burger I could've just made it at home by myself with some patties from Costco and some store bought sauces. I didn't have to bike 20 minutes to go there. Anyways, unless they're willing to make a change in the near future I'm not planning to come back.
You can give this place a shot, but I warned you.
