I usually am not a review person, but this has gotten under my skin for a few days so here goes. I remember when this place opened years ago and we ate there often. They even sponsored my daughter's rec softball team and we ate there as a family a good bit. I moved to another part of town about 12 years ago from WA, and haven't been much. My daughter and her husband can walk there from their apt, so I met her Sat night. We were going to Gene's but I found a parking spot at Triangle so we went in. She said she doesn't eat there because they can't afford it, but I told her I was paying. She was very right. In the past, you'd never find a parking spot. When you went in, you sat outside waiting for a table, and never found one on the patio. It was 7:00 Sat night and when we got there, the left side was virtually empty. The bar had about 2 people, and there were plenty of chairs available out on the patio area. I was curious because it was a beautiful night, but after checking out the menu I saw why. First, I will tell you the server was very good. He was promptly there, took our drink orders, came back with them and took our order. Nothing took long and I was pretty happy. I didn't get his name because even though there were only a handful of people there, It was very loud. All I wanted was a cheeseburger. I like just a bacon cheeseburger with a few condiments, and nothing else. I thought it was a misprint, but it said $16 for a "plane jane". If you added bacon it went up $2.50. That is more than I have ever paid for a hamburger, but I was with my daughter and was hungry so I did. I expected it to be HUGE, like Fudruckers used to be. When it came out, I was floored (see photo below). I told my daughter we could've gone to Cookout and both got the same burger with more fries, PLUS a drink and a corn dog and paid less. Next time we will. I will also tell you it's not the cook's fault either as the burger tasted good, it was just gone in about 3 bites. I know prices have gone way up, and that's the biggest reason they were empty. It has turned us off of going out and we used to eat out 2-3 nights a week, particularly at a local place. I love to support the locals and usually don't eat at the chain places. But this is my last time there and i'm sure if they're charging $18.50 for a burger and a few fries, most other places are as well. The gut punch was when I went to Aldi's the next morning and filled my cart up with pretty much the same food that would feed 10 people and paid the same price as my burger and my daughter's sandwich. I thank the server for his service, and the chef for tasty burger, but the owners have made it clear they don't need someone without Trump money eating there. If you are going to raise the prices and make the same volume with 1/3 of your guests, it's not a long-term recipe for future success. read more
