For the quality of the ingredients, Schnipper’s is perfectly reasonable. Unlimited refills of soft drinks is great. Just wish they had caffeine free Diet Coke and refills on coffee.

Was with a friend who ordered a Black & White milkshake. I do not even like milkshakes much but loved this one. Great ingredients.

Now that they serve burgers medium rare, they are equal to the best in the fast food category (try that at Five Guys).

As to French Fries, Shake Shack does not even rate–FROZEN!. Come on. These were fresh here and really nicely fried (and I rarely order fries, except as a special treat and these were).

No line and I could eat at a table outside (and they brought me my food without tipping). Definitely a winner.

For those looking for some seriously cheap fish tacos that are fried and battered.. go to Taco night at the Wharf Bar. $1 and seriously “Yumm-O!”

I second the Midtown Lunch Discount. Times are tough.

I went early so maybe it was made with the expectation that it would harden and crust over throughout the day?

Even so, this stuff was looser than a san francisco sphincter

@Wayne – I wonder if it’s a crapshoot… I’ve heard the soup comment before, and it is definitely soupy- but there was plenty of mac in mine. I wonder if you get more mac and less cheese depending on time of day, or where they are in the container, etc.

OK, I finally tried this place. Chicken Club was fresh & well constructed with above average ingredients. Onion rings were top-shelf. The mac & cheese… well, I must think differently than y’all. I thought it blew. Basically, it was mac swimming in cheese soup. The thimbleful of bread crumbs was alright though. But give me the custardy and/or moist & crumbly Supermac or Soul Fixings m&c any day over the Schnipper slop. Would go back to try some of the other sandwiches though, and a shake which sure looked good. Also, the place is spotless & the staff are nice & on the ball. Overall I’d say it is worth the somewhat high price all around.

[...] in a pool filled with sloppy joe. But if so, hey, who am I to judge?), then get yourself to Schnipper’s on 8th Ave, ASAP! (via Midtown [...]

Bruces Burger will give you excessive amounts of sweet potato fries, but alas, no dipping sauce..

Shilling. Sigh.

My estimation of a place goes down when restaurants try to plant good reviews. To restaurant owners reading this, take that into account before you do it, or at least find shills who don’t write such obviously fake reviews.

Many good Fish Tacos have grilled mahi. Southbeach in OB San Diego – many people’s idea of SD’s best – serves it like that and they are good. While fried may be better (as most things fried are), grilled is plenty good and just as “authentic.”

In that case, Andrew – better make it a bigger discount.
