| - I've been to this place twice now. The first time I met a few friends here early on New Years Eve and ordered the chicken strips with fries which were surprisingly above average as far as fried strips of chicken go. There aren't really drink specials and this place is way bigger than necessary. It has a lot of stupid jokes about it being ZANY and KOOKY cause it's called PRANKSTERS, like backwards letters and stupid puns. Get it? They're NUTS over there, totally OUT OF THEIR MINDS with KOOKINESS. A comrad of mine ordered the "Irish nachos" which were similar to nachos but instead of chips they were fries. While he seemed to enjoy them, I personally think that's fucking retarded and gross. Like how Filibertos and similar 24 hour Mexican drive thrus offer fries with cheese and a SHIT LOAD of other unnecessary grease for your disgusting fat ass pleasure.
On New Years Eve my comrads and I ordered some Irish car bombs which, as I recall, were reasonably priced, maybe six bucks each which is not bad for an instant buzz. Also, the server was talkative, comfortable and friendly which made the experience nice and lighthearted.
I convinced my boyfriend to come here a second time and try the food to see what he thought. He got in touch with his inner chubby jr high kid self and ordered what they called "pizza skins" which were half potatoes covered with pizza cheese and pepperoni. These, much like the fries, were total over kill. Potatoes with a bunch of mozzarella and pepperoni can never be a good idea, Pranksters. I took one bite and wanted to get in touch with my inner bulimic jr high kid self. There is a reason you don't usually find potato skin pizzas at other places, it's not cause Prankster's is original, it's cause they seem to just throw shit like meat and cheese on anything and call it something presentable like "pizza skins," which sounds tasty in theory.
Despite the potato pizza with grease-meat and fat-cheese, we got a pitcher of their seasonal beer for five bucks and it was mellow and not too filling and not a bad beer for the price.
Ironically, much like their pizza skins and Irish fries, the service is a little over kill. We had about 17 servers come over during the course of our meal roughly every 6.5 seconds to make sure we were doing okay. We had two come over and ask us if we wanted the check after we'd already paid it. I'm curious as to who got the tip.
In retrospect though, Pranksters Too wasn't a horrible experience, the atmosphere is dreary yet unpretentious and there is something to be said for the charming ignorance (or maybe it's the ZANY KOOKINESS) that comes with, you know, just adding cheese and meat to everything.
