I was walking around Williamsburg and stumbled upon this place. Its a little hole in the wall, but looked interesting so I stopped in. The menu looked fine so I decided to stay and have some lunch. Ordered a basic burger with fries and a drink. I placed my order, paid with my credit card and sat and waited. Now, the place was empty. I did place a tip on the card before I was served. Mistake. When my food was ready, which happened in decent time, the guy at the counter yelled to me to come and get it. So I walk up and get it. As I'm walking back to my table I'm thinking just what I was tipping for. The place was empty, I was sitting 3 whole steps from the counter, and the guy couldn't be bothered to provide a tiny bit of service? Oh well, such is life.
The burger was just ok. It wasn't bad, but not a great culinary experience. It was warm, not hot. The burger itself was on the small side. It fell short quality wise from a 5 Guys or Shake Shack burger. The fries, however, were fantastic. I got a very nice order, falling out of the bag. They were hot and fresh tasting, far superior to the burger.
When I was done, I cleaned my table & threw out the scraps left behind. I began to walk out, expecting the guy to say something like thank you. Didn't happen. So I turn around and say, "Take care." The guy had his face in his phone and mumbled something, never looking up. That's not the way to get someone to make a return trip.
