Best Frozzen Hot Chocolate, worth the wait. Avoid weekends
4 Star Rating: Recommended

05/11/2007 Posted by foxychickz446

I've seen it on tv so much, I had to go and see what all the hype was about. The first time I went was during a holiday week, and the restaurant was packed! There was about a half an hour wait and it was a Thursday. The restaurant is pretty small and cramped, we were squished up next to the Christmas tree. We ordered the Frozen Hot Chocolate and a burger and fries. The food was bland, sloppy and greasy...more like poor diner quality (though it cost about 15 bucks) The FHC is 8 or 9 bucks, but its HUGE and soooo good. Its definitely something to share. My boyfriend loved it and he doesn't even like chocolate. The second time we went was the beginning of May on a Wednesday night. The wait was definitely shorter, we only waited about 15 minutes. We only wanted a FHC, but the waiter said everyone at the table has to order at least $8.50 worth of food. So I ordered the FHC and my boyfriend was forced to order food. He ordered a ham and cheese omlette. It was HUGE!! It had to be at least 7 or 8 eggs, if not more. It was stuffed with lots of cheese and big juicy chunks of ham. It was delicious!! It was definitely worth the $10. He ate as much as he could and still left with a half. The prices are expensive but the portions are large. The waitstaff is pretty friendly too

Pros: Huge portions, Frozen Hot Chocolate, desserts

Cons: Pricey, horrible burgers, long waits on weekends
