I tried the Bacon Burger for $17, and to be honest, it could use some improvement for that price. The burger was quite greasy, and the portion of fries that accompanied it was rather small. Additionally, most of the menu items tend to be high in calories. While the prices are somewhat steep given the quality, they are still somewhat reasonable. It's a good spot for a quick bite with friends, but if you're seeking something more fulfilling, there are definitely better choices out there.

The potatoes were served cold, and the Southwestern egg rolls were disappointing—mushy, lukewarm, and presented in an unappealing way.

The burger was overcooked, the salad was insufficient, and the quesadillas never arrived. To make matters worse, my drink was only half full.

Since I’m staying in a hotel without a microwave in my room, I was hoping to enjoy a warm cake alongside the cold ice cream. If I had known it would be served frozen, I wouldn’t have ordered it.
