| - These places are what you would say "acquired tastes." Listen, I get it. I honestly get it. It's a burgh thing. Right. Ok, woohoo, high five n'at. But I'm not giving this more than a single star. I like bread. This is not what I call bread. It's weak. The slop of fries... Ok. Stop right there. I'm having an issue with these fries. They are dark. They are grease soaked. They might even have iron filings in them (could be a steel city thing, not sure) but my expectation of fries derives from the old country. Like bread. Did I mention bread before? Can someone please explain to me why the bread is flimsy and the fries are brown and greasy and not white and crispy?!? These are basic things, but it's entirely possible that if this is the stuff you grew up with and have no other frame of reference then it's completely understandable that you 1) like this food and 2) expect someone to give it a positive review. For me this IS a positive review. I'm positive that the bread is weak, lacks any sort of crunch and density and the fries are like oil-soaked, limp, polystyrene. To eat here again it would have to be a serious emergency, under the influence of copious amounts of beer, liquor, what have you, and nothing else would have to be open for business. Out of town guests that are taken in to these places are simply being nice by saying "mmm, nice!" So, no. No to the bland. No to the tasteless. No to the recycled oil-soaked thingy's. Just no.
