They serve “local IPA” on draft for $11 or, ironically, a miller high life for a dollar.
And it’s always warm

Very accurate. Unfortunately for me, the place that looks like this, also has the very best burgers.
Yeah I’ve had a burger from a place that roughly fit this description, I was really sad when they closed because it was by an extreme margin the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.
Life is significantly worse without that burger.
Fuck, with all of the restaurants that closed during the pandemic, I feel this.
Places either closed down or dropped so far in quality they are now a shell of their former selves.
Exactly. A brewery near us used to have really decent food. But the quality was so bad post pandemic, we haven’t been back since early 2021.
I’ve never seen a burger come without some side at a non fast-food restaurant in my city and I don’t know why I find the concept so gross.
I went to Portugal last year and they have this custom of serving crisps(chips, if you’re American) instead of chips (that’s fries if you’re American!) I bloody hated every second of it, the burgers were delicious though
Burger Batch in Richmond VA is like that or at least it was last time I went. Good burgers; way overpriced. The pictures are spot on.
Yeah I believe it, the trend didn’t hit my city (Montreal) though, which is lucky. I went to Ottawa (a near city) a couple years back and they have a row of cookie-cutter pubs in their fancy part of town which all served burgers without fries and you had to pay extra for ketchup. I don’t know when I got radicalized, but that definitely paved the way.
Gross? Pretty harsh word for some fries. Does McDonald’s near you not sell big macs on their own?
So I don’t know if you read my comment, but I said
non fast-food
which in this particular case excludes McDonald’s.
Okay well in my defense I was reading very fast and read it as fast food lol
Saw a place I never been to before and decided to check it out. Got up once I saw the prices. This meme is extremely accurate.
Hamburger is like 7 bucks a pound now, and these type restaurants are usually in areas they have to pay exorbitant rent and overhead.
Cheese:
American $1
Cheddar $2
Smoked Gouda $3
Isn’t American cheese just cheddar cheese with some extra flavoring?
American is typically more mild in taste and smoother than cheddar; unless we are talking Kraft Singles American, which is a smoother or creamier cheddar.
I thought it was cheddar diluted in some chemicals and milk to improve flavor and to lower the melting point.
It does have emulsifiers and other dairy products in it. It has a higher moisture content, which the emulsifiers help to hold in suspension with the cheese. Without the emulsifiers the cheese would leak water/fluid out and the shelf life would be considerably shortened. The emulsifiers used are very common in many foods from almond milk to soft drinks.
All I know is that it is technically speaking real cheese (which is surprising).
I hate those fucking stools. I swear they were invented to be so uncomfortable that once you’ve choked down that mediocre overpriced burger you want to leave as soon as possible because your ass hurts.
They’re shitty amazon order stools I bet.
Getting people to leave quickly allows more people to enter, which means more burgers served.
always order everything to go and take it home and eat it in the comfort of my own bed.
restaurants are so uncomfortable.
You eat in your bed? Ngl that is nasty
Don’t worry, they mean the bed of their truck. The airflow at highway speeds ensure all crumbs are carried away immediately!
In what way?
Genuinely curious if it’s because you might get food in bed or the act of eating where you sleep?
100% because of mess
What’s wrong with you 😧
nothing?
When you eat so many luxury burger that you can only afford a studio, there isn’t any other seating than bed.
Remember to get an avocado toast side
How the fuck do you even
The first thing you have to do is
Manage to price tater tots at 1 dollar
Then what you do is
I assume they got them cheap when a school science lab was upgrading to something made this century
And the word “Offerings” will appear on the menu
Also serving it on anything but a plate.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !wewantplates@midwest.social
Good bot
The Good Burger in Spain (and probably other countries)
There’s a BBQ place near me, and I ordered tater tots there once, as a side. They were $4. They literally gave me 4 tater tots. They were one dollar apiece.
There are two types of BBQ places; stingy, overpriced, gourmet bullshit with barely any sauce and greasy, messy, heart stopping heaven. The former always pretends to be the latter.
There’s also Mission BBQ which is stingy, overpriced, overly-sweet non-gourmet bullshit with jingoistic pro-military support-the-troops bullshit thrown in for good measure.
Don’t forget the right-wing “we’re ignoring mask mandates in the height of the pandemic and not limiting seating because we’re god-fearin’ 'mercans here!” bullshit.
I ordered a gyro with a side of onion rings (the onion rings alone were $7) from a local place to take home. When I got home and opened the box of onion rings, I saw there were only six small (like, 1.5" in diameter) onion rings in the too-large box - more than a dollar per tiny ring. Next time I went I complained about the onion rings and they showed me the menu which said “6 onion rings” in the item description albeit in a tiny font. Like, they knew what complete and utter bullshit it was so they had to have something legal to fall back on.
“Bro, we told you we were bullshitting you, right there in the sign. That means we’re not at fault”
Fuck that shit.
Glad I live in the south, where we have fast food bbq joints with $6 burgers better than you’ll get anywhere else.
This meme is either very old or was made by someone in the midwestern US (always years behind on fads).
All of the bistro burger joints have gone the way of the dinosaur in my neck of the woods. Now it’s all smash burger fast food knock offs.
This meme is so old it’s kid is the hostess at a burger joint like this
its* kid is the hostess
That’s great news, right?
The places I see like this that are still around are moreso just generic American food :tm:. They sell more than just burgers, but the burgers are stupid expensive
I mean… Most of the places near me a burger with a sides is typically like $13 - $16 and I am definitely in the Midwest…
Nah, I got take out 3 burgers in SF area for 60 bucks in a place that looked like this and offered 6$ fries. Wtf
I can’t think of any neighborhood in SF where I’d choose one of these places over literally anywhere else. Too much good cheap food here.
ScamFrancisco
Scammed.
What??? San Francisco has expensive food? That’s simply not believable
Taphouse/brewery has replaced the bistro burger joints that couldn’t survive covid.
Why do coastal cities always do this shit? At least in the midwest, a person is more likely to come up with a good plan and keep it going long term.
Midwest is always about 4 years behind coastal City trends.
That misses the entire point of what i said, in order to just repeat the previous statement.

I used to do drugs. I mean, I still do them, but I used to do them too.
