I came across Cabano's Burgers on Instagram, and with all the glowing reviews, I figured it was worth checking out. After going, though, I honestly don't get the hype--everything felt pretty mediocre at best.
First off, I think it's been misrepresented as some kind of no-tipping, groundbreaking spot. Sure, they don't expect tips, but it's hardly a surprise since it's basically fast food. It's a super casual setup with a few narrow bar tables and some pretty uncomfortable stools. It was also so hot and greasy inside, which made the whole experience a bit uncomfortable. Oh, and there's no bathroom either, which is always a bit of a pain.
We showed up around 8 PM, and while it wasn't empty, it wasn't exactly busy either. Still, it felt like our food took a surprisingly long time to come out.
The menu is pretty small, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but unfortunately, none of the food was particularly memorable. We got the OG Chicken, the Cabano Burger, onion rings, spicy cheese fries, and a couple of drinks. Everything was fine, I guess, but definitely nothing special--and for what we got, the bill wasn't cheap.
It wasn't terrible, but for the price and overall experience, I can't see myself going back. Honestly, I'd probably just hit up McDonald's instead and call it a day.
