FEAST OR FORK IT | Happy Hour | Cassell's Hamburgers
One of the best burgers I've had in years.
Unfortunately, however, we were literally rushed out of the place from the second we seated ourselves by an unctuous staff that was more anxious to clear our table than bring one more thing to it.
I had an Old Fashioned (meh), my friend had a jack and diet coke (keto). She wasn't told the Jack Daniel's used for her drink was single barrel till two sips in – which jacked up the cost of the libation to more than double the 'happy hour' price.
We were comped a broken slice of 'Dulce de Leche Banana Cream Pie' from our waiter, who either grabbed what was left in the pie tin, or so haplessly cut the piece out of urgency to see us leave that he would had better wanted us to not 'Eat Pie' as both the menu and glaring neon from the restaurant's dessert carousel suggests.
VERDICT: FORK IT – I don't care if earth is on the verge of losing its oxygen source and you're the only spot that has it to sell, for a place that was void a crowd during happy hour on a friday night (we got there around 5ish), there's absolutely no reason to be subjected again to service this egregious just for a burger.
