| - On our Friday lunch tradition, coworkers convinced me to come to this place. I wasn't too crazy about it being a chain and all but gave it a shot anyway.
Upon entrance, it looks like Chipotle added more red and now serves burgers. After one look at the menu and remembering the Rito's 3pm lull the week before, I decided on the wedge salad but my coworkers all got burgers.
The place was crowded but we easily found seating on the patio. The wait was kinda long but then a few workers were walking around apologizing to people about the wait explaining that the food inspector was in, so they were being extra careful. Hmmm..shouldn't they just be conducting business as usual, like in a regular and safe manner as "always"? Regardless, I actually appreciated that they thought to be a little proactive.
The wedge was huge, the iceberg and bleu cheese fresh and the bacon crispy. After watching the grease spots quickly accumulate on their basket liners, I was so grateful for not ordering the burger.
We ordered veggie frites for the table and these were just gross- 10-12 pieces of oily "flash fried" asparagus and carrots with a side of ranch for $3. No thanks.
The only complaint I heard from my fellow diners was that they didn't ask what temp you wanted it cooked, but it seems like maybe hers was just overlooked.
Next time I'm in the mood for a burger, I doubt I'd return here, I'd much rather spend the same amount of money (probably less) for the cheeseburger @ Phoenix City Grille.
