Not impressed.
I have seen long car lines for this place so I thought lets finally try it. It's in a high traffic location with excellent exposure.
1. When a drive-through has a speaker with a menu, you expect a greeting right? Nope. Not at Gotcha Burger. So after 2-3 minutes and a couple cars behind us with no greeting, we pulled forward. The guy at the window said "oh yeah, its' not working." Later on when waiting in the walk-up for a milkshake they didn't initially deliver, another customer said "oh yeah it's never worked." Whatever....
I don't' know...maybe a "out of order please pull forward" sign would be appropriate?
2. We ordered a large burger, cheese burger, hot dog, fries, and a strawberry milkshake.
REVIEW:
The burger and cheese burger: Nothing special at all. It's not bad. It's certainly not a gourmet burger and not a gourmet price. It's average. Average is not a bad thing, but it would have been nice to get some complimentary ketchup with the burger. Oh yes, I know that's my fault for not asking for ketchup.
I would prefer In & Out (sort of the same menu concept except no combo offer) any day over these burgers. Based on the price I would also prefer Carl Juniors, WayBack, Little Big, or even Killer Burgers.
3. Hot Dog: Totally unimpressed and WAY over priced. You might as well go to Costco for $1.50 and save your money. Actually, the Costco hot dog will be bigger and taste better according to my kid. Oops...forgot to ask for mustard or anything on it. Just a dried up hot dog in a bun inside foil wrapping.
4. Fries. The fries were cooked well which I prefer. Once again however, I forgot to ask for...this time....the salt. Saltless fries is what we had. And for the price I would have expected more fries, as this was just an average serving at best.
5. Strawberry Milkshake: Again, for the $3.75 price I would have expected more. You decide below.
So we got the to-go order. He told me to pull forward because the strawberry shake was going to take 10 minutes. So we decided to eat in the car while we wait for the shake. There was no ketchup, no salt, no mustard for the dog...all of this I forgot to ask for, unlike other places...even Burger King who asks if you want any dipping sauces...nothing. Sure, that's my fault. We did get the complimentary napkins.
The 10 minutes turned into 15 minutes with cars going around us. We finished both burgers and my kid finished the hot dog. We were still waiting for the strawberry shake. Finally, I walked back to the walk-up window, and asked if they were still making my shake and the guy apologized and said "we just got our shake machine up and running." Then he gave me a vanilla shake when I had ordered a strawberry. Then waiting longer for the strawberry shake.
Sorry Gotcha...it looks like you got plenty of customers, and even great reviews. Congratulations for that. But I won't returning. I get way better service and the food tastes better from not only independent local owners, but even franchisees who remember to offer options. read more
