At $10.25 for burger, fries, and coke, i'll need better.
ate at the one in deep ellum yesterday. I'd heard a lot of hype about it from a bunch of friends. i thought it was ok. i'm not a seasoned fry guy, so they weren't my favorite, but the homemade ketchup made them a lot better than i would have thought otherwise. i also liked the homemde BBQ sauce. used some to dip my burger.
The atmosphere was good. i liked the schtik about everyone getting a famous name as their call number.
i'd go back to try some of the other burgers, but for a good burger at a much more reasonable price, my vote is still the point burger at 1st & 10, or the works at jake's.
