Burgers and Fries? A couple of them just opened up in the Detroit area. Doug and I tried it out this evening. REALLY good burgers and skin-on, fresh-cut fries! We were impressed with the quality out of what is essentially a fast food place. I liked it better than Fat Burger, which has a store across the way from this place.

I've eaten at their places when visiting my sis in Charlottesville, VA. I've learned not to order the large fries-that's alot of fries!! Pretty good for a burger joint!

We have it here and OMG the amount of food. I really like it but its sooooo fattening, there is no way I could eat there regularly, as much as I would want to, but its really good.

Oh, don't I know it! It's an every-once-in-a-while treat.

We just got them at Patriot Place (Foxboro, MA). Loved them. I'm not a fry person but man I couldn't get enough of their fries.

My boss just took us all out to lunch there yesterday. The burgers were good and the cajun fries were good. They give you a lot of food. We all had the little burgers and they were almost too big for us to eat them all.

I ate there over the weekend after the talk about it on here


I always get the little hamburger and no fries and that is plenty of food on its own!

There is at least one in Charleston. A few coworkers went there not too long ago and really liked it. I have yet to go (and they didn't invite me that time, pfft!
)

We have them here in Atlanta. I've been there a few times and I think its good, but very greasy. Definately only a once in a while thing!

I work at a Burger & Fries place so I like to think I'm an expert!


We don't have many places here - just the big chains (MCD's, Wendy's etc) and small Mom & Pop's

I have one of those about 10 minutes away from me. I get cravings from time to time. And they are relatively cheap I get a double cheese with bacon and large fries and large drink for about 7 bucks...Count your blessings and thank GOD it was not a tofu bar that opened up...
Diva likes the fries, she swiped a couple of the smaller ones and before I knew it, she was back looking at me for more...of course I obliged.
