I knew nothing of this place but the wife said she came here with some friends and enjoyed it so we decided to try lunch on a rando Saturday.
I walked in and saw a few people with bloodshot eyes swaying in place beside their tables, but didn't think too much of it. A family in front of us in line were first timers as well and we chatted with them for a bit while we waited.
I got up front and looked at the menu and realized it was happy hour, so a few selected items were only $4.20.
Wait...I glanced back at the redeyes, and then to the price... OHH, I get it now. This should be good food! I was, unfortunately, unprepared to enjoy it to the extent of the others, but I'll pay attention next time.
The menu isn't the most intuitive, and had to be explained to both the family in front of us, as well as myself (again, wife had already been here).
Sides are seperate here--they might have had combo meals, but I didn't see them easily.
Anyway, I got the On Broadway burger (with beef) and a side of truffle fries. I added the fried pickles because they were one of the few happy hour deals, and I got their Buffarito because it was also 4.20 (apparently it's on their "secret menu"?? But it was written on the happy hour board). No, I'm not eating this all at the same time.
Wife got Cowboy Candy with the CauliFIRE.
You have to pick a tablet before you order because they are pre-numbered and you have to tell them at the register which table you want so they can bring you your food. Was not prepared for that, but muscled through!
The burgers were smash style, and they were really good. I enjoyed everything on mine, as did the wife. The truffle fries were good. Her CauliFIRE was 'meh' in my book, but she loved it, so that works for me.
The Buffarito was underwhelming--not nearly enough sauce to taste the buffalo flavor.
The pickles were great, but super salty. I think they added a bit much salt to the batter and that just added to the salt of the pickle itself. The dip is a sweet/smokey BBQ sauce--not a fan of that. I normally don't dip, but wanted something to smother the salt. The buffarito came with ranch, so I used that instead.
With the "put it together yourself, and know what table you want before you order" confusion, I don't know how tf you deal with this place when you're as high as the other folks I saw there, but perhaps that's more telling of me than them.
The sodas were fun to sample--they're their own brand of cane-sugar sodas--the whole line. Or at least re-branded bigger name stuff, I don't know. But I enjoyed trying the whole thing, and I'm not even a soda person.
The prices were certainly prepped for people too under-the-influence to notice, because they were as high as the patrons. Over 13 bucks for a no-sides smash burger, and 10 bucks for several sides, it's certainly a place you'd want to be wasted at when you slide your card.
Burgers were 4 stars, but the price negates one star for overall 3. Would I come back? Yeah, I think so, but someone else better be driving.
