Tried it today it was pretty good. 11 bucks for single meat burger fries and medium drink. Will probably go back. Anyone else try it?

I shan't try it until I hear about it from The Bard of the Brazos, The Frequentor of First Time Reviews, The Ye Olde Yelper, himself.

OMG. Another burger joint. Yelp should be paying me for this.
The FTR is obviously a fake.
So here we go. This used to be a McDonald's and it's shared with the Exxon gas station. It has the best public restrooms in College Station. As in high end big city rated restrooms. Top notch restrooms that when hand washing might cause that saying "I'm a rich *****" to sneak into your mind.
As far as the food and service are concerned, I got some weird vibes from the un-naturally over-excited employees that reminded me of chain brainwashing similar to what was displayed in the 1993 film Falling Down with Michael Douglas. That joint was the Whammy Burger.
It's a total 5 Guys rip off or 5 guys ripped them off or whatever I don't care. They have boxes of Idaho potatoes out on display. Well, don't all potatoes come from Idaho anyway? Ever seen a potato from Canada or Mexico lately?
The menu is a ****ed up pain in the ass as it's right above the register and you have to look up to figure out what to order.
The burgers are WAY, WAY overpriced if you add bacon, cheese and avocado. Come to like $10 each.
The bread while baked on site is way too much for a burger. Same problem as with Grub Burger that copied Hopdoddy in Austin and tried to act like a local original.
I removed one half of the bun and it was still way too much bread.
The fries had way too much salt on them making them inedible.
And finally the HVAC system has cold air blowing down on the tables which makes your food and fries cold extremely fast.
It's certainly better than the McDonalds that was here before. The current staff of employees were friendly but disturbingly brainwashed into thinking something is special about these burgers (not grass fed or anything, mainstream beef), and the drink selection sucks with just a bunch of corn syrup fountains.
The staff made it as fun as possible by being friendly to us but there is no way I would ever eat here again as there's nothing special about it and no
