I have stayed in this facility on numerous occasions over the last year and never had the urge or chance to stop here, for good reason. I'm not a fan, so I didn't want to try the food. It is your typical take on a malt shop offering burgers, fries, and milkshakes with Bobby Flay's twist. Not even an original one...acting like putting potato chips on a sandwich hasn't been done by a single person when they were a child at a pool party.
How did I end up here, you ask? After a very long day of working a convention, and finally having time to grab a bite to eat. I stopped with colleagues and friends. In fact, I wasn't going to eat here at all if I didn't have to. But with the options around for something quick, this was about it.
I looked over the menu and did not want a potato chip sandwich and opted for the Palace Classic Burger...it's a cheeseburger. Just like every other burger on the menu, minus the potato chips. I also got an order of cheese fries to go with this.
Ordered and waited, with everyone else that had the same idea, and got my food. I opted for a to go so I could take it to my room. There are tables here, but not many and they are constantly full and not always full of customer that have gotten food here.
When I got to my room I finally had a chance to dig in. The burger, to me, was a bit bland. I know that the flavors of the toppings were to mix, but it felt like the lettuce washed it all out. The cheese fries, odd, when I ordered them they asked if I wanted anything to dip them in. Uh, no, I want the fries with cheese. The dip is already there. I was expecting the fries to be smothered in the cheese, instead you get a serving cup that barely is enough to dip into.
Overall, just not impressed. For the price that you end up paying, and I can only imagine what it would be with a shake or desert, you could have had a better, more filling and flavorful meal elsewhere.
