Lots of kids and parents and noise, but it was fun and good-natured. No problem with that at all. They have a sign at the front which explains that they cook each order fresh, and they ask that you be patient with them. No problem with that either, since we weren't in any hurry. However, we ended up waiting over 40 minutes for two burgers and two orders of fries. That wouldn't have bothered me, since we knew what we were getting into, but what bothered me is that, when we finally did get our food, it was cold. It's as if they spent 30 minutes preparing the food, then let it sit out for 10 minutes to cool to room temperature before serving. It was very disappointing to spend $28 for two burgers, fries, and cokes, then have to wait so long to finally receive cold food.

First, I must note that this place has booths, which gives any restaurant a leg up with me. I stuck with the Greek theme and ordered a gyro sandwich, which was quite tasty.

There is only one parking space that provides covered parking right in front and we got lucky and got to park there.. I ordered the hand-breaded steak fingers and my lunch partner ordered the chicken tenders. The steak fingers were excellent, about as good as mom makes assuming your mom is a great cook! My friend couldn't quite finish hers and handed me a chicken tender, which was huge! The breading was perhaps a bit too heavy, and the chicken itself was probably cooked a little bit longer than ideal, and was resultantly dry - but it was still tasty. Before I ordered, I asked whether the fries were frozen or not, and she assured me that everything they make is from scratch and that the fries are hand-punched on-site from actual raw potatoes--and wow--the french fries here are really good-- a bit on the soggy or soft side, but I prefer this than for them to be overcooked and get too much moisture cooked out of them which can result in a tough and leathery texture. In any event, I really enjoyed the fries. We arrived a little bit after their 11 AM opening and halfway through our meal there, a line started to form at the walk up window as well as the drive-through, a testing to their food's quality. I can't wait to go back to try out the hamburgers and super dogs!

The one bonus, the breakfast burritos were fresh and hot. The supersonic burrito is my favorite with all of the flavors mixed in. It was also a really nice size for once.

And flies are buzzing around everywhere. I order and while ordering I say, "Hey what can be done about these flies to keep them away from me and off my food when it arrives". The answer, "that's because it's summer and we leave our door open, we have a salt gun but we can't use it when customers are here." "So... what is done to keep flies under control and away from my food?" I look around and see no deterrents hanging or placed, nothing. I just received a phone emoji worthy white man shrugging face. This place doesn't even have a fly swatter or flip flop from an angry Mom. The Sweet and Spicy burger arrives. It was good enough. Just so that you know FIFA WC soccer was on. Ivory Coast was up on Curaçao 2-0 and Germany was tied up with Ecuador 1-1 in a close and better elimination game. The audio for the bar was for the CIV v CUW. I was interested in the Germany v Ecuador game so I asked, "can we get the audio to the GvE game?" "No, those two ladies (only two other patrons in the bar) are watching the game being played/heard.". "No problem", I say. Meanwhile the women are talking super fast and weren't even taking breathes enough to hear the broadcast nor looking at the TVs. In my head I thought, man I don't write reviews often but this would be an epic one star. But decided chill out, and not. I finish my burger and beer and about with :15 mins left in the match the bartender changes the audio (to GvE) which is met with applause by the women, and an inner smile by me. Ecuador scores almost instantly as they pound on the table and stand on their stools, as if they were on Bourbon Street and things could get very interesting. Hmmm, I think to myself. These damn women are Ecuadorian. So what's with thinking they were Curaçaoian? Or am I to believe they didn't give two about looking at the Curaçao game and suddenly became super fans when the Ecuador game was turned on audio. Honestly. Did he miss the mark that much? Sure did. Anywho, the check arrives at the burger menu priced at $13 comes up as $13.83 and the pints are also like $9.odd amount like $9.81 or something. The total is $33.blah blah. I hand over my card but ask, "what's with the strange pricing? The menu says $8 for each item." "Oh let me check...oh yeah it because the menu lists cash prices and so if you pay cash, you get that price, if not you pay this price." WTH!!! Maybe that's listed on the menu. But a 10% service charge on beer to cover a what 3-4% Visa fee. Man, please be overcharging to buy some fly swatters or hanging stank away bags. So yeah, 1-star. Just skip this place and go sit on a Port-a-potty instead.
