IMPORTANT READ FOR THOSE WITH PEANUT ALLERGIES.
First I'd like to say that during COVID, I've personally refrained from writing any negative reviews but this is very important not to ignore and not to post.
At the top left-hand side of their menu, there is a small paragraph stating that their handcut fries are cooked in peanut oil. For one, I've been to thousands of restaurants and never have I ever heard of a restaurant cook ANYTHING in peanut oil. Second, it is not just their fries that's cooked in peanut oil as they claim on their menu but also various other items. So thankfully, my nephew, who has a nut allergy noticed that "disclaimer." And like anyone who is allergic to peanuts, there came other questions and requests. We asked if they can be sure that other items not come close to the peanut oil or be handled away/separately to avoid contamination. The waitress's response was "I can ask the cook if mayyyybe he can wear gloves but it's not guaranteed??". Whether or not an allergy is of a concern, there is COVID. Even without the current global pandemic, is it not standard practice for the cook to wear gloves when handling food? The more inquiries we asked, the more the waitress sounded as though we were such an inconvenience. Mind you, the patio was empty and only one other table had customers. Because this was literally the only place around where we were, we decided to stay and order the safest items off their menu.
Waitress came out twice to first bring out the condiments and then our food and didn't come out after to make sure things were okay especially with the whole peanut concerns. On top of that, she got my cousin's order wrong. The only other time she came to the table was the bring our bill which we never even asked for. Never experienced that ever in all my life eating out. Because she basically came out with the bill without asking us if we wanted anything else, the bill wasn't split which we needed. I personally didn't want to bother with this waitress anymore but my cousin politely still asked to split the bill. Then the waitress asked us what we ordered. Am I being a bit harsh but shouldn't she know exactly what we (a party of 4) have ordered? They were literally all burgers and one sandwich. Now let's get to the food...
Handcut Fries - Luckily for 3/4 people, we don't have peanut allergies. I personally enjoyed the fries.
Classic BLT - I was surprised to get a "classic BLT" on a burger bun. There was also very little strips of bacon. Thankfully this cost $8.50 but still.
Burgers - I didn't have a burger but my nephew said it was good. But when I looked at his burger, I barely saw the patty (he got a 1/4 lbs). My niece and cousin got gluten free buns which was just crumbling. Now, in their (restaurant's) defence, it's probably from somewhere else and not home made. So I'll give them that.
Just a shame that for a great spot, beautiful patio and what looks to be the only thing really in the area. Knowing that so many people have peanut allergies, I do hope that Management rethinks this choice of theirs. Not only that but also practice or train their staff to better accommodate their customers. If it's just the one staff member, I welcome Management to reach out to me in a private message and I can provide their name as well as the date and time we dined. read more
