Just gunna order a rare cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and ketchup of course. Not gunna order the fries-is this a mistake? Are they worth it? Haven't really heard much bout the fries but I have heard from so many people their burgers are top notch. So just out of curiosity what sets them apart? I have seen some pics of their burgers online and they don't look that impressive but hey the taste test tomorrow will do the talking right....really lookin forward to it.

Tue Apr 10 17:19:57 -0700 2007 2468650 58291 lamesadrive 2 2468694 They definitely do they are the long thin kind. Tue Apr 10 17:33:13 -0700 2007 2468659 76968 steakrules85 3 2468796 Served in a paper bag. Dump on some salt and shake 'em up. I seem to remember them being not unlike McDonald's. Tue Apr 10 18:05:40 -0700 2007 2468694 12628 scooter 4 2472045 They're exactly like McDonalds. Same company (Lamb Weston I think) and same cut of fry (don't remember the name).

Wed Apr 11 16:32:47 -0700 2007 2472045 57300 nativeNYer 1 2472244 Definitely get the fries. The burgers are great because they're cooked to order and (imo) just the right size. Plus, the whole "hidden location" charm adds to the experience... PS: Make sure you get dijon mustard on the burger -- another nice touch.
