I loved their coffee stout beer but only because the cook sitting beside me recommended them, I tried the fries . Apparently they can serve many various toppings but I wanted to taste the plain fries as to actually taste them, not gravy or ketchup...etc.
The price was 6.00$ so I thought these must be great like the cook stated!
When my small order came they did not look very appetizing but I was on a mission again..... trying to find someplace where I can get good fries to go with a future order of perhaps fish and chips or even just great fries as a snack with my beer.
Among the burnt end shoestring fries I managed to pull out one that looked ok and ate it without salt or anything on it. To my dismay it was as bad as shoestring fries usually are... soft and squishy but also had a burnt taste. Although I figured all of them would be the same or worse, I braved another taste. I was right, just another burnt tasting fry! Maybe some salt and pepper with hot sauce and ketchup would make them palatable!? However, I don’t eat them that way and it was obvious to me that they were cooked in old burnt oil and I told the server my observation.
The lack of care or apparent loss of the art of cooking decent fries is common in my experiences in most places I visit, it is the service I was most disappointed with.
When a customer only eats two fries and states they are too burnt tasting and the deep fryer oil meds changing , the server should not charge for the order. In my opinion she was just thinking about the possible loss of her tip amount, now I will not try anything else there. If any establishment cannot even tell when it’s time to change the deep fryer oil, I cannot trust they care about anything else as they should.More
