Got a hot dog on my lunch break. It took about 30 minutes for me to get my OVERPRICED hot dog, and took my whole lunch break.
When I arrived at the location, there was no line to be seen. The cashier did not acknowledge my arrival but saw come in and turned his back towards me and ignored the whole establishment for about 10-15 minutes before he even took my order. When he started to take my order, there was no apology or acknowledgement of the wait. Once I placed my order, it took another 15-20 minutes for me to receive my one (1) hot dog, The Cowboy.

What’s that about? I think the menu items looked interesting but I’m not compelled to return. I would rather get stomped out at bar Louie across the street...

(I used to be a regular at Caribou Coffee here...fond memories...but I digress) but the Bter Burger was incredible, the fries were crispy perfection and the chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned. I am truly floored by the quality. Makaela was very kind and brought our food to our table. I would recommend this place and hope to see this restaurant succeed as it is sad to see so many favorites not...
