| - I've been coming here ever since I was in grade 10 (4~5 years ago). When I first started coming here, they allowed my friends and I to enter whenever we wanted during the day. That changed to 'people under 19 can't get in after 6:30pm', then it was 5:30. Last I've heard, people under 19 can't get in at all (haven't checked for myself though).
We never ordered alcohol from there but the price of the drinks seemed to cover their costs to keep providing all dishes at $4.95. The price of food is definitely worth it.
When you order food though, be prepared to wait 30 minutes to 1 hour for your food to come. Sometimes it gets so busy that they forget about your table.
Some of the food is really good, like the Pulled Chicken Sandwich and the Works Burger. Some are very well above average, like the Union Street Noodle Salad, Chiang Mai Bowl, Tacos (any), Yam Fries, and Mini Donuts. And some are 'meh' at best, like the Nachos For One and the Chicken Caesar Wrap.
Two big drawbacks for me are:
1. The long wait times, unless you go for lunch on a weekday.
2. More often than not, servers will sit at your table while you're paying your bill. I understand that the establishment is very laid back, but there still needs to be some degree of professionalism. I feel as though they do it to guilt you into tipping more, which makes me only want to tip less.
Overall, I'd still go back for the cheap food, if I had time to kill or just want a place to chill with friends.
