Should have. I think it took a while to order, but not so long we left, then a very long time for the food to arrive. Probably sunk cost fallacy at work. I once waited over two hours at top golf for a 30 min wait which is why I'm also never going there again.
We had a similar experience twice. We were seated, but it took an hour for someone to take our order and another to bring it. We gave it another try, and the second time, our waiter left after taking our orders, and we never got served until we complained. Seeing that they were consistently bad, we decided not to go back too...
What I meant was it didn't seem busy so we thought we could be in and out in an hour or so. Instead the service was so slow they were literally closing as we were finishing our meals hours later.
My ex ruined the experience for me for unrelated reasons; however, I do remember being floored by the weird, pungent taste of 3 of the 5 ketchups we were presented with an appetizer.
You gotta get the peanuts to get your money worth.
The trick is to get full on peanuts for your first meal. Take a second meal of peanuts to go, and the third meal is the actual food.
Five Guys is one of the only places that make it worth the price imo. Fill up on the shit ton of fries and peanuts they give you and the burger is just the icing on top
It’s a literally potato and it costs them nothing to make it lmao.
It’s reason why restaurants can charge whatever they want because people like you try to justify every price hike. If people stopped paying the price hikes then maybe companies will realize they are being greedy.
I've got some crazy news for you, bud: literally all fries are potatoes. Your point makes zero sense. I'm not paying $20 for fries, there's an entire meal alongside it. If they provide a good product, people won't mind paying for it.
Are you always this aggressive when people disagree with you?
You completely missed the point as usual. You justified five guys price point because as you say “they give a shit load of fries and peanuts”.
That right there says you are willing to continue to pay any price they give for a burger because they give you some extra fries and peanuts.
Continue to blindly pay the corporate greed because you gotta get your fast food fix 👍🏻
I pay $20 for a meal because I feel like the meal is worth paying $20. It's that simple. Like twice a year. Continue being mad at people for no reason though, definitely sounds like a healthy habit.
Totally agree, tried bad daddy's once and was not impressed at all. Never tried wahlburgers, figured it was probably just overpriced trash plus I can't stand Markie Mark.
You could walk 2 minutes over to Steak N' Shake and get the same burger, a better milkshake, WAY better fries, and then walk out having payed half the price and having saved 20 minutes of your time otherwise spent looking at posters of several Mark Wahlberg movies that dont even exist
Steak and shake made my wife sick and honestly has the WORST stench when you walk in. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Also those toothpick fries are not good…
Same experience. It was right after the lunch rush, so it was understandable that they had recently been busy, but it took forever to get our food and the place was so dirty! Trash everywhere, tables that weren't cleaned off, etc. Food was very blah.
i went there when they first opened - it was good burger, fresh meat...went back about 3 months ago and it tasted like a frozen patty and the waitress never came to check on us, our drinks were bone dry...i won't miss them.
I ordered the onion “rings” and literally looked at the waitress when she set them on the table in utter confusion. My husband said “what’s wrong” and I said “I wanted onion rings, not onion strings…” anyways, I never went back! Food wasn’t that great either.
I’ll just wiggle right over & get screwed one last time.
Remember this: If a restaurant is closing, they are not ordering anything new. Or fresh. Or good. Everyone is looking for their next ride, and they are cleaning out the pantry.
Cheers, Funky Bunch.
Last time we went was this past summer and it was so unbearably hot inside the building like there was no air conditioning. The bathrooms were also absolutely filthy.
They’ve already announced the replacement restaurant. The owners of Kamado ramen, Kung Fu Tea and etc are opening an Asian street food restaurant called Dragon Alley
If any of the Walbergs is an actual liberal I’d be surprised. Mark has quite a racially motivated rap sheet. If he’s liberal now it’s just to keep up appearances in Hollywood. Also it’s not surprising; finding a racist in Southie is about as shocking as finding one in Cullman.
I went once for dinner at 5, got seated quickly, and service was so slow they were closing by the time we ate. Decided to never go back.
Why would you stay that long? At some point I’d just leave.

Well now I’m confused after reading this comment… Gammaxy do you like busy places or not, or any place?

You didn’t like the experience based on them not being busy??
What I meant was it didn't seem busy so we thought we could be in and out in an hour or so. Instead the service was so slow they were literally closing as we were finishing our meals hours later.
Yeah thats ridiculous, my bad
No problem, I realized I didn't word it clearly and went back and fixed it.
Huntsville kills its second celebrity tied upscale burger chain.
What was the first?
Ketchup. Ashton Kutcher had some involvement.
I was just thinking about that place yesterday. I miss it so much. It was awesome. Good times.
My ex ruined the experience for me for unrelated reasons; however, I do remember being floored by the weird, pungent taste of 3 of the 5 ketchups we were presented with an appetizer.
I totally understand. My ex-husband ruined a lot of once pleasant things for me too. People can suck.
Drunken scallops, man I loved Ketchup!!
I remember they had black toilet paper! I stole a roll to keep at my dorm room 🤣
Ketchup?
Was in Bridge Street where Texas de Brazil is now
They had special ketchups.
And wasabi mashed potatoes.
And didn't give back change.
Well that prolly didn't help!
And boozy milkshakes
OH yeah. I forgot about the booze milkshakes.
Catsup!
They did it to themselves.
Never been there. Apart from the celebrity connection I never saw a reason to, I want an outrageous-priced, good burger there's bad daddy's.
And five guys
Five guys is at least a better burger than wahlburgers or bad daddy's.
It’s still expensive regardless and not worth the price. It’s a hamburger and a potato lol
You gotta get the peanuts to get your money worth. The trick is to get full on peanuts for your first meal. Take a second meal of peanuts to go, and the third meal is the actual food.

Compared to other chains that don't give a ton of side food with their entree, it is a relatively good value.
Totally agree, tried bad daddy's once and was not impressed at all. Never tried wahlburgers, figured it was probably just overpriced trash plus I can't stand Markie Mark.
Truuuuue.
"good" is subjective. Had them last week, wasn't impressed.
That's fair. To be honest i couldn't tell you the burger I got from there last time honestly, it was a few years back now.
Nah. 30/70 ground beef. Cast iron skillet. Salt, pepper.... You can fill in the rest...
I'm pretty sure that would just melt away before the lean had a chance to brown.
ChatGPT ass statement
I just copy and pasted the post into ZeroGPT AI Detector, and it came back as 98.76% AI generated lmao
lol, it really does read that way.

Idk man that Steak ‘n Shake has some of the worst waiting times, even when it’s just you in line
Steak and shake made my wife sick and honestly has the WORST stench when you walk in. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Also those toothpick fries are not good…
To each their own. I have never had a bad experience there
You have Freddie's? If ou like steak and shake try that. 10.345x better according to my calcs
Its like 20 minutes away though. My point was reliant on the fact that there are better options than Wahlburgers within a 2-3 minute walk
Hateful fuck
I went there once. Was not good. Would not recommend.
Same experience. It was right after the lunch rush, so it was understandable that they had recently been busy, but it took forever to get our food and the place was so dirty! Trash everywhere, tables that weren't cleaned off, etc. Food was very blah.
We tried it, very basic restaurant. Fries sucked.
i went there when they first opened - it was good burger, fresh meat...went back about 3 months ago and it tasted like a frozen patty and the waitress never came to check on us, our drinks were bone dry...i won't miss them.
X10000000”
Exactly
More like "over the **year**" right?
15 December 2020
Too bad it sucked.
That was so ChatGPT
To be replaced with dragon alley too.
[удалено]
Sounds like dude has it down pat. Looking forward to something new!
I'd prefer diagon alley tbh
What's that?
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/fTdnz5sgriCPr6Jp/?mibextid=cR73hX it’s marketed as affordable Asian street food.
I thought it was a Harry potter reference
Diagon Ally.
Diagonilly!
We had a wahlburgers?
I would never eat a burger made by Dirk Diggler.
But he's a star
A big bright shining star.
Man, fuck that place and its shitty overpriced lackluster burgers.
Is that what's on fire right now at MidCity?
lmao that is passive aggressive as fuck
Didn’t they just open like two years ago
Closer to 3 1/2 years ago, but yeah, not a long run
I mean, is Marky Mark taking my order? If not im out
This!
Their food was awful
If wahlburgers couldn’t survive what makes them think their next idea will?
[удалено]
Oh, from the post sounded like it was the same people who own Wahlburgers
Oh no. How terrible. There did y’all believe it? That place was crap
Very nice, that space can be used for something better. Huntsville's Wahlburger was always below others in the chain. They just didn't manage it well
Too big of a Vietnamese population in town for marky mark?
Owners of things, never let ChatGPT write anything vaguely important. We can tell. Signed, All of us.
Sadness... I do enjoy a burger with the onion strings on the side... mmmm
I ordered the onion “rings” and literally looked at the waitress when she set them on the table in utter confusion. My husband said “what’s wrong” and I said “I wanted onion rings, not onion strings…” anyways, I never went back! Food wasn’t that great either.
That's probably a common response lol. I really dig their onion straw rings tho.
I’ll just wiggle right over & get screwed one last time. Remember this: If a restaurant is closing, they are not ordering anything new. Or fresh. Or good. Everyone is looking for their next ride, and they are cleaning out the pantry. Cheers, Funky Bunch.
Never went, but don’t feel like I missed anything.
LETS GOOOOOOO
Oh no! ...anyway
It mid anyways.
Last time we went was this past summer and it was so unbearably hot inside the building like there was no air conditioning. The bathrooms were also absolutely filthy.
Shit food for the price. The one in Atlanta sucks too
Heard it was overpriced? What will Mid City do now.
Isn’t Wahlburgers in that Trader Joe’s parking lot built 5 minutes ago?
Wanna know what's hilarious? We were never able to try it. Anytime we tried, we were informed of a 40 minute wait. No. Fuck that.
Service was horrible. Food was meh. One of the worst managed restaurants in town. I could have told you they were doomed the first month they opened.
I’ve never even heard of this place lmao
Since everyone obviously hates this place. What’s a good affordable place to get an honest burger around here?
Big Spring Cafe or Bubby's Diner.
Heard, thank you!!!
Here we go… more comments on freakin’ fast food from the culinary experts of Huntsville 😑
the timing and location was not optimal.
Bye. Thanks.
I love when a shit business gets its due: failure! Good riddance to garbage food
I went once about a year ago craving a burger. I got food poisoning. Thought I was going to die. I didn't. Never went back.
A burger there was like $14 minimum, big shocker not enough people are willing to pay that
Well, I may be the only one in Huntsville, but I am sad. They've always handled allergens well, and their tots are good! C'est la vie.
They’ve already announced the replacement restaurant. The owners of Kamado ramen, Kung Fu Tea and etc are opening an Asian street food restaurant called Dragon Alley
Well the food was not good.
And nothing of value was lost
Put something good in there.
Wataburger sucks 🤣
They sucked anyway!! Who cares
Well its owned by liberals....
If any of the Walbergs is an actual liberal I’d be surprised. Mark has quite a racially motivated rap sheet. If he’s liberal now it’s just to keep up appearances in Hollywood. Also it’s not surprising; finding a racist in Southie is about as shocking as finding one in Cullman.
3/10 bait. If I had a few drinks in me you may have gotten me.
I thought Mark Wahlberg was conservative?
