I was very excited to try this place on opening day, especially since it is a very quick walk for me, and they sell veggie burgers. First I would like to note, the staff were quite friendly, even though I know opening day can be hard, so kudos to the employees. The burger was ok, and the Jones soda was good.
Fundamentally, the issue I had during my first experience with this franchise is that the burger was "ok", which really, I'm quite fine with okay burgers. The problem is the burgers are quite small, and despite the veggie burger combo being the most expensive on the menu, the single patty was wafer thin. Less than half as thin as the meat patty in my daughters kid burger. For my combo and two kids' combos, the bill came out to 31 and change. I just don't feel a small, ok burger justifies that cost, it's not balanced.
My daughter also wanted plain water, and the fountain only gives out soda water, so I filled her cup in the bathroom sink. Mildly annoying.
Lastly there are a grand total of eleven seats in the place, and some standing room. So if you have a family or more than a couple of people, plan to get your food to go.
I could get similar fare with a larger meal, 30% lower cost, and better seating at several places next door in U Village, which just makes this a hard sell for me. I genuinely hoped it would work out. I do plan on going back to try a shake.
