posting this reivew for a friend. Today I was in a rush, so to be as effecient with my time as possible, I went to the self serve machine to check out the new biscof storms. Turns out they have refused to update the software, leading to my time being wasted and my stomach remaining emtpy.... for the time being at least... as i did SOMEHOW manage to end up ordering a meal for myself. (if you can even call it that without the desert section.)
And now to make things even worse, a group of rambunctious teenagers have stormed the building and are obstructing my ablity to see the counter. This is without a doubt the longest i have been forced to spend ordering a supposed "fast"-food meal.
-food review-
the chips: Slightly dry, although the dryness leads to a crunchy and fluffy texture. At the moment im quite familiar with salt and these chips? I can indeed confirm they have got salt on them. as a matter of fact, this particular batch of chips seems to get saltier and drier the closer you get to the bottom of the bag. perhaps its my tounge that has become drier and saltier the more chips i consume?
Coca cola: watered down a little, mostly due to the ice i presume. i dont know if they have really given much consideration to the concept of having a salty meal and then a sweet drink, its like drinking organge juice after brushing your teeth. However, in this case it will get a pass as it worked wonders.
The burger: it seems the order of opperations is bun, patty, cheese, pickle, onion, tomato, and finally lettuce at the very top (i forgot to add there was in fact a bun at the very very top). Upon taking my first bite, it appers as though the lettuce has retreated into the sauce, which was also pushed further back into the sandwhich. Making my first bite incredibly underwhelming and dry. That being said, each bite subsecquently improved upon the last, just like the Beetles. however, much like the Beetles, i am indeed prepared to be dissapointed by my last bite. upon finishing my burger, I was unfortunately proven correct, as just like "let it be"(1970) by the Beetles, the last bite was unfortunaly just as dissapointing as their final album.
Conclusion: as i rock back and forth in the centre of the hungry jacks car park, pitifully sipping my watered down coca cola, I feel nothing but a full belly and a lighter wallet. (which isnt to say i enjoyed my meal by any means, although it did undoubtedly take up space inside my body.) not to mention the immesuarable feeling of dread that comes with the inability to treat myself to a nice desert after a hearty meal.
"And when the dissapointed people eating at hungry jacks agree There will be an answer, let me eat For those they may have wanted (a biscof storm) there is still a chance that they will eat There will be an...
Read moreI wanted to get drive through at HJs on West Tce but it was busy so I went inside to order. The tables weren't clean and the floor was dirty. Fast food places are quickly becoming so dirty and impersonal, that your better off eating at home. For $15.90 for 3 items the food was OK but there is no atmosphere, no heart or soul in take away food stores. HJs and others have all lost their way in terms of owning a food outlet. Often there would be large line ups but I've 40yrs they've decided to take the HUMAN ELEMENT out of the business and make it AI machines to order your food. That's why going to Europe was amazing as all the Cafe and food outlets have REAL PEOPLE SERVING YOU and speaking with you. Unfortunately I would score less than 0, but decided that the bread bun saved the day, it was big compared to the Junior Whopper Bun I would order in Take Away BUT I wondered if the take away menu uses small bread buns and dine in use Large bread buns. Something i will check out next time in 6mths. These days I avoid take away due to fact you can catch stomach viruses that can be quite difficult to get rid off. The cleanliness off HJ in West Terrace is a concern and the WC was locked, so not sure why. Clearly they are aliens and don't like humans to go into the store to see what they're serving you. Not good at all, I had to ask one of the workers to wipe the tables and i didn't even see any disinfectant. Will see if I didn't catch...
Read moreThis is the most disgusting HJ's I've ever been to. Service and food was fine, but the actual cleanliness was beyond disgraceful. No one was eating in when we walked in but every table was dirty which normally I wouldn't be so fussy with as I know how busy hospitality can be, but when I then went to use the toilet and realised it's just generally a gross store. The toilet was filthy and not just a mornings use kind of filthy but maybe a week of filth. The thought of touching anything was gross. There was also two soap dispensers and yet both were empty! There was rubbish in there just left and the toilet was caked with human waste including the outside of the bowl. The basin had grime all over it and the walls and floor looked like they'd never been cleaned! The photos don't show truly how gross it was. I feel bad for parents who want to change their babies nappies in there! I will never return to this location and it's a let down to the stores who put the effort in to provide a good overall service to customers and maintain hygiene standards!! Whoever manages this store...
