The fries carried what was possibly the worst burger and atmosphere I have come across this year. We came here because of the reviews, and surprisingly the only guests over the entire the stay. There was probably 10 employees here with nothing to do.

The fries were amazing, but that’s honestly the only thing that was as expected.

The burger was overly messy and impossible to eat without pouring all over you, and the staff was nice enough to give us literally one napkin each. Neither of us were able to finish the burger as the “Elle sauce” was terribly overwhelming.

The meals (2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks) cost us $37 before a tip. The drink was a coke in a can that could not be refilled, the fries were the size of a McDonald’s small, and the food was brought out to 2 people on one tiny tray instead of individual trays.

I chose this place based on the reviews. I traveled from out of town to this place. What a disappointment. 😡. I ordered a double hamburger. When I got my order, I noticed the meat was paper thin. It was NOT a double. It was more like a thin single that went through a bad smashing process. The patty was as thin as a slice of cheese. Who smashed it down so thin and why??????? It was cooked so long that the meat that was hanging from outside of the bun was crumbling and falling off. I bit into the hamburger and it was sooooo salty!!! Whatever special sauce that they put on there was horrible. The coating/batter on the fries is gross. 🤮. Why ???? My whole experience at this place was terrible. This was an expensive waste of money and time. Never again. Just HORRIBLE. Wendy's fast food hamburgers are way better...
