Place was empty only 1 person other than me and my buddy. Hope it makes a go of it. Nice to have a non Korean place besides Silverados and fast food joints. I'll probably go again. slickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137524531996643691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-13867807469093148882014-02-08T14:52:13.593-05:002014-02-08T14:52:13.593-05:00Second day of business; they will not last if they...Second day of business; they will not last if they keep cooking burgers and setting them on a warming platter until they are ready to be served. Great fries, burgers are flame broiled, but they need to be served right off the grill, mine was actually COLD, good flamed flavor though; oh, and they lost our order, took over 30 minutes for a cold burger and great fries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-76273788026515064342014-02-01T22:47:39.143-05:002014-02-01T22:47:39.143-05:00Maybe, if you're lucky, they're serve food...Maybe, if you're lucky, they're serve food-free options as well.

Id love if there were more authentic gritty city neighborhoods around here, but in their absence, I will gladly take a place like Mosaic or Clarendon. Dont care that its "themeparked" (and how are fake french baroque mansions, set amidst 50 yo fake colonials, not "theme parked") - that they are so expensive is because we have built so few of them and that is where the demand is today. I'm glad you like that Annandale is more human, but whenever I try to walk across the neighborhood, or even just across LRT, I find it painfully unfriendly to humans. <br /><br />For some reason, the shopping center with the Beanetics doesn't have bike racks, or at least didn't last time I was there. But I guess if that keeps the hipsters out ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-48153274677573796812013-11-14T11:37:16.008-05:002013-11-14T11:37:16.008-05:0010:40 here
