above average service by inner city youth. trump would be flabbergasted,
I stopped by on the day after their public opening and despite the lines being quite long I was impressed with how well they were doing so soon after opening. After a friendly menu-hander told me I could order from a kiosk instead of the long line, I took that option. My preferred ordering option of fried chicken burg (it seems to have sold out quickly according to their social media accounts), so I got the ham burg and greens (and green drink).
The burger was fine for the price, but not particularly special. I enjoyed the bun and accoutrements, but the patty was a bit blah. The greens were some of the best I’ve ever tasted, especially with the suggested addition of hot sauce by the friendly staff. They were quite savory, I imagine from the addition of a flavorful, concentrated stock, but if they happen to be vegetarian, I am amazed, and should probably beg for the recipe. I’ll be back to try more, and consider this a good fast option.
