Allen's has potential but falls flat on its face. Sure, the staff are friendly, decor is nice, and the patio is amazing. But the food on the other hand leaves much to be desired.
I'm not saying it's bad. But the burgers are far from the best in the city, and many other entries on the menu are average. The burgers are actually too tall and narrow. Resulting in a messy hand and frustrating meal. Fries and other sides are extra, which pads the cost of your meal.
The desserts I tried were mediocre and not even worth the time.
In all, paying $20+ for a simple main should at least net you some flavour. Instead you get a mediocre, overpriced, let down.
