    I promise everything on that menu is like $10 overpriced.

    $13 for a hot dog. Hot dog better be code for a fat blunt for $13

    I would never go because Elon is associated with it, but otherwise it’s kind of unremarkable. I’ve seen big chain restaurants with similar prices in the area. My biggest gripe is is that kid’s burger is the same price as the adult burger.

      The one good thing was the tallow fried french fries. Back in the 70s Mc Donald’s fried theirs in beef tallow and they were magical. What the heck is a “Snap O Razzo” hot dog? Nothing really interesting here. I’d rather go to an In and Out burger.

          Thats literally what every business everywhere does. It is basic economics. Prices are determined not by the cost to produce, but by what people are willing to pay.

            I guess what I mean is that this place seems to be doing it at the aggregate level. Like someone decided that people going there would spend $13 for a meal, so everything is $13. Adult hamburger? $13. Kid’s hamburger? $13. Grilled cheese? $13.

            Most places would say that people aren’t going to spend the same amount for a grilled cheese as for an adult burger, so they’d make the grilled cheese cheaper.

    No thanks! I feel like the Health Inspectors would fail that place…

    (If muskrat and PEDOnald were still in love, I’d assume the health inspectors would be losing their jobs next)

        Wagyu is still just a type of cow and if you aren’t eating expensive graded cuts it’s not that much more expensive than angus. It’s still pointless to eat in a chili as the whole advantage of it is the marbling

          I suppose you are correct. I took it to mean wagyu steak. They could just use the scraps from trimming the steaks they give to worthy people.

            Also not all cows end up being graded super high so they have plenty of “low quality” Wagyu

              Imagine living your entire life in prison and then you are murdered for your meat, only for some schlub with a neck beard to say, “eh… Kinda mid” about you.

    It’s weird seeing so many people defending these prices. Their arguments are all I’m getting scammed like this at other places so therefore it’s not a scam here. Y’all paying $14 for a Smashburger with no sides y’all getting fucking scammed and shouldn’t be paying for it anywhere.

      4 strips of bacon for $12 is the really crazy one to me idk. It’s also weird asf that the burger doesn’t come with fries but the kids burger does.

      Buddy the community is called mildly interesting. As in not very interesting. The point is they don’t really care about it.
