The "Little Mule" burger and a beer were awesome today. Usually I don't see burgers with a mix of ingredients like american cheese, avocado, pickled jalapenos, cotija cheese, fried egg, and chipotle aioli on a "bun" composed of what seemed to be four small dinner rolls. LOVED IT!
Only "negative" today was the cashier who didn't have the attention span to get our order exactly right or the patience to describe a type of "craft beer" I had never heard of before in a sensible manner...
but hey - what would one expect from a restaurant with the mantra "The Absolute Wurst" or the words "We Love Weiners" emblazoned in neon overhead?
Previously, I've had the Cocky Balboa sausage dog, the Thai Fighter and a couple of other hot dogs and sausage dogs. I've always been pleased with the food, and generally, I've been pleased with the beer - (can I say my choice of a 'pumpkin ale' was the cashiers fault?).
The atmosphere is aligned with the fare, a sort of minimalist / industrial meets tattooed clown. Accoutrements (yes, thank Google for the spelling) such as concrete floors, a giant piece of CNC plywood artwork reading "Fremont", simple butcher block tables, exposed ductwork and what appears to be reclaimed wood armoring the main counter contrabulate (ok, you're right - made that one up...) with the neony cartoony slogany kitsch to blend into an environment as friendly to your tattoos as to your buttoned down shirtsleeves. ( I'd wear a bib with the jacket if it isn't from Salvation Army), and to be sure - it isn't a necessity, or a liability here.
There are a number of "high" top and regular height booths and tables and an enclosed outdoor dining area with some of the same.
It is a great place for a quick lunch or informal dinner, and the "kitsch" of emblazoned slogans such as "The Absolute Wurst" or "We Love Weiners" is nowhere near as annoying as it seems when I reread this....
I go here once a month or so... Hope to...
Read moreOh doggy! My husband told me about this place so when we visited the area he took me here. He kept on saying how good the place was. Now, my husband quite a selective palate so if he says a place is good, then I believe his judgement.
So I looked through their menu and everything looked amazing! First of all, all of their selection had pictures accompanying the contents (already a plus in my book). Second, the app is very useful in ordering (you can pick up in intervals of 15 mins. if you so please). Third, they use Hawaiian rolls for their buns! Hawaiian rolls are like crack as it is, for them to use it as buns instead of cheap ones is a great call!
I had their Holy Aoli burger and wow, their aoli is super good! The size was massive (for my standards) and I could only eat half which the rolls made it easy to portion out (think of it as 4 sliders). I also ordered their cheesy tots and whooo boy, that cheese can make anything taste good. The cheese had some smokiness to it and tasted like a chipotle cheese rather than your regular cheese sauce.
This place is super good if you just want to get an elevated fast food experience. Their hotdog combinations are good and their burgers are cooked to medium rare perfection! Not to mention, they sell the impossible burger and sausage here so that's a plus! I have to come back to this place to try the...
Read moreWorst customer experience. I wouldn’t even give them a star if it wasn’t necessary. They close at 9 pm and I placed an order at 8:26 pm but they apparently never received the order. Went inside and they said they didn’t receive the ticket so I have to call to speak with the manager. When I went back at 8:45 to see if they would make the order so my 3 year old could eat, they had already locked the doors. When knocking on the doors they completely ignored us. The shift lead eventually came out after the 3 employees inside were laughing at us and turned the lights off like we couldn’t see them inside. Just because they wanted to go home early they probably turned their computer off so they wouldn’t receive the orders. Now I have an $11 charge with no food and it’s funny they don’t know how to give a refund. Alejandra is “new” and just a cashier, but can’t give a refund when I showed her the specific order and the charge in my bank. I guess I should just call and speak to the manager when I’m in town visiting. I don’t even live here and that’s the customer service...
