My brother and I went here just today around four and it was quite lovely overall, I thought. We ordered the surprise milkshake (had birthday cake and cotton candy atop a birthday cake milkshake), fries+onion rings, and a veggie burger with onions lettuce and their fancy sauce (mayo and Sriracha the waitress kindly told us).
The service: When we first walked in we really had no idea what to do with ourselves since we hadn't noticed the podium kind of to the side when you walk in or a hostess at all to seat us, which was a bit confusing but not necessarily a problem for us, since there was seating available that we could seat ourselves at, but we were lucky for that and saw a few people standing at the front alone, waiting for a few minutes confused without any working person to direct them as to how long their wait would be nor seating to sit at while they waited since it's a pretty cramped store. Our waitress was very friendly, although the space in this establishment is very small and gets quite loud since it was so busy in there.
The food: The veggie burger was amaaazing (my brother and father are vegetarians so we have both had our fair share of burgers) (also, since my brother is vegetarian, he would have had a problem digesting their food if it was cooked in fat and has not experienced any problems what-so-ever, so it is safe for vegetarians to eat) but was a normal sized burger for $8. That, we thought, was entirely overpriced for such a burger. The buns and every other part of the burger wasn't amazing, they just had a good recipe for the burger itself. Which, yeah, it grounds for a more expensive price, but $9? Not worth the price. Plus, that didn't even include fries or any other sides, we had to buy that separately. The fries were delicious; seasoned very well and cooked seemly fresh, but we got a very small handful of them. The onion rings were very large (I really wish they would have cut them up smaller) and not amazing or anything extraordinary at all, plus we only received two of them. The small basket of these wasn't full at all and it was $5. Again, not worth the price. Finally, we received our milkshake. It looked fantastic, the cooks come around and give them to us personally which was cute. There was a piece of cake on top with cotton candy and sprinkles and everything, which was very delicious (I don't even like cotton candy that much but this one was awesome), the milkshake itself wasn't as thick as the old-fashioned ones usually come (which is how I usually enjoy mine), but it was also amazing. But, you got one of those small glasses and the toppings cut into the actual milkshake, so there was really about a cup (you know, one measuring cup) of milkshake in all, for $9. Now, it did come with cake and all that topping goodness and was very delicious, which I understand calls for a higher price, but $9? Ours came with a small piece of cake and the others have some cookies and stuff on top, but it was NOT massive enough to account for THAT much higher of a price, come on. Without the toppings that shake was literally a kids size. I could've probably taken the toppings off and fit them in my hand, they are not has massive or glorious as they seem, I promise you. I have never been able to eat my fair half of a milkshake with one other person because I just can't eat that much sugar and I know I could have eaten this entire milkshake alone, which says a lot.
Gave it three stars for the lovely appearance, service, and delicious food. Took off stars for the high prices and disappointing portions. read more
