| - I would've given Re:grub 4 stars if this was back when they first opened. It seemed the standards and the care for the food and the restaurant was much higher and more prominent. Fast forward to now, and this all seems lacking.
First, the place was dirty. We walked in about 6pm, and there were about 3 tables filled, excluding us. The first thing I noticed was the really greasy, and slippery floor. All I saw were 3 or 4 people huddled behind the front counter, and immediately thought that someone could've at least scrubbed the floor while it was dead/empty. I feel cleanliness in an establishment is one of the most important things to further a customer's experience. Once I "experienced" the floor, it couldn't be helped to notice that our table was kinda sticky. Like the accumulation of grease over time. There was black grime at the bottom of the corrugated metal at the kitchen and I bet the shelves behind the milkshake bar have not been cleaned. A word to the management: set a better example for your staff.
Second, the food. We thought the food was pretty decent. The burgers came out hot and the patties were fresh, and the buns were nice and soft. Taste was definitely there, and the milkshake was nice and thick. A couple of gripes was the patties fell apart pretty quick, some of the burgers were pretty messy and the Picante fries tasted like Ruffles bbq chips, except in fries form (not exactly worth the 6 dollars when you can buy a large bag of chips for $3).
Overall, I'm giving these guys two stars. The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness. The other downfall was the value. The quality and presentation of the food and drinks do not reflect the amount of money that is being charged. I can think of several different places where I can spend 50 dollars with better food, and in a cleaner environment. The food presentation could be better and maybe change up the paper designs on the trays occasionally so that it doesn't feel too stagnant. The design is over a year old now.
