Seemed like a great place that had "vegan" and gluten free options, and my first interaction with the staff was pleasant. However it became clear at checkout that this business gouges customers and especially those with dietary restrictions. Ordered the portobello mushroom burger and a gluten free bun. The cook asked if I wanted fries so I said yes, and I grabbed a kombucha to drink. The total came out to nearly $40. Yes, 40 flipping dollars, 22 for the burger, with an up charge for the gluten free (understandable) and an up charge for the fries (WTF, this is America and burgers should come with fries, especially a $22 burger). The kombucha was $9 and then on top of that they added a credit card surcharge and then prompted for a tip of at least 15%. There was no price breakdown provided prior to swiping my card so when my receipt printed, I was LIVID.
Waiting for the food, I cooled off a little, hoping it would be good, hoping the staff gets paid a living wage, trying to be a good person. But when the burger came, I knew this was an absolute waste of my money and time and I was so incredibly frustrated and irate. The burger was paltry with the mushroom being no larger than a half dollar. The tase was mediocre at best and not even close to worth half of what I paid. The mayonnaise overpowered everything and inherently IS NOT VEGAN, hence the quotes at the beginning of my review. After two bites, I was eating a lettuce and mayo sandwich, seething, and trying not to direct my anger at the staff, who probably don't have any control over the exorbitant and irrational pricing scheme of this restaurant.
I understand airport upcharges, but even in all my fine dining experience I have never had a "meal" with so little value at such a high price.
Save yourself the headache (and the anger ulcer) and stay the F*€# away from Annie's Cafe and Bar
