| - This place was pretty weak. My husband and I wanted something nicer than Burger Shack or Licks, so we headed here - after hearing mixed reviews (some raves and some rants) we figured we'd try it for ourselves.
We started with the french onion soup - it was not broiled long enough, so the top was only partially crispy. The soup was cold, and since the cheese wasn't broiled properly, it was quite thick and hard.
My husband got a beef burger and wasn't overly impressed. Said it was no better than a burger you'd get at a sub-par chain restaurant such as Kelsey's. We shared onion rings and fries. The onion rings were good, but far greasier than one would expect (and they were sitting in a pile of grease at the bottom of the bowl...seriously, the cooks couldn't take a minute to drain them first?) The fries were cold. The gravy served with the fries had a heavy alcohol taste to it, as though the cooks do not know how to reduce alcohol when cooking.
I ordered the grilled cheese. It was actually very good - they give you two full sandwiches, which is way too much food, especially because it's incredibly greasy, but the taste was good. I stopped eating after the first sandwich, though, was too heavy to continue, and I was rather full.
We both decided that we would not return here. The service was good, the ambiance nice, but the food subpar for the price we paid. I have had better food at Licks/Burger Shack/Fat Phills!
