| - I went to the VIP Sneak Peak last night, and honestly, I wish I'd stayed home.
Yes. I am a vegetarian, but my partner isn't, and she loves hamburgers, so I figured this would be a perfect way to show my love. We didn't have to wait long for a booth, but ended up with one by the door that was absolutely FREEZING. We both had jackets on and were still shivering.
We went up in the line to order; she got an all american burger and smashfries. I planned to get Smashfries, a side salad w/ no onions and a cactus vanilla shake. My friend had the veggie frites, and said they were awful, so I decided not to go that directions.
Apparently, the salads are pre made, and there is no way to get them without onions. I asked if maybe they were whole onions I could just take off. No, they were chopped. Ok. Since they don't have ANY other veggie options (no veggie burger, no grilled cheese, no vegetarian full sized salad), I asked the cashier what she recommended for a vegetarian. She told me this was not place for a vegetarian.
Was I offended? Yes. While *I* am a vegetarian, my partner is not. We like to go to dinner together, and they've now lost both of our business.
Finally, I wound up spending 5 minutes negotiating with her to try and have an arizona cobb salad made without chicken, bacon, onions or jalapenos. She finally figured it out, and we went to go wait.
The wait was maybe 10 minutes, and then out came out food. The vanilla cactus shake tasted like a regular vanilla shake; nothing special. The Smashfries were actually pretty good; I liked their seasoning...but Delux's sweet potato fries beat them any day. And my salad? HA. It was a GIANT bowl only half filled...with chopped iceburg, a hint of cheese, a few pieces of tomatoes, and less than a teaspoon of guacamole. I wish I had taken a picture, it was that ridiculous. Plus, there were brown pieces of lettuce and the bases (the bottom of the lettuce that is hard and dirty) mixed in there. Sigh. And yes, even without any meat, it cost $6.99
I asked my partner about her burger. She said it was "ok." I asked her to compare it. She said it was worse than Red Robin, worse than Chili's, on par with Sonic and slightly better than Burger King. Ouch. That's a lot of money to pay for a burger on par with Sonic. She did finish the burger, but didn't like the fries.
Will we be back? No. The food is over price for a mediocre meal, and they have made it very clear that "my kind" (vegetarians) and their friends/partners are not welcome.
