Regular size of fries was basically the same as the side size of fries - seemed like a rip off. It looked like they put the regular size into a larger bowl, but it appeared to be the same amount compared to the side fries despite being over twice the price of the side fries.
That was already quite disappointing, so I was even more bummed when I didn't love the parmesan truffle fries swimming in the parmesan truffle topping. I don't remember them being so excessive and overwhelming from the last time I was here, maybe my palate has changed since then? Anyways, it was so overpowering that I had to tap off the topping/seasoning every time I wanted to eat the fries. They went overboard when they didn't need to, especially with strong flavors like parmesan and truffle combined.
I had the same issue with the burger, where the sauce was just so strong and in excess that it 1) overpowered the burger and 2) made the burger soggy real quick and therefore very messy to eat. Also, our burgers (Cadillac Wagyu) were quite petite in size, which was surprising for the high prices (~$17 each) that came with them. I understand that it's for the wagyu part and bougie add-ins, but I realized that Hopdoddy is not a budget-friendly burger place, even though it's fast casual dining that offers fast food. For such pricey items and paying around $60 for a meal for two, you'd want them to taste amazing or at least be decent portions.
When I first visited a long time ago, I was wowed. The burgers and fries impressed me that time, both in portion and taste, so I'm a little disappointed at how things seemed to have changed since then. Service was great both times, though, so that's something I appreciate.
