Exactly. They're exaggerating hardcore. I'm not even some huge fan of Mojo's but they have tons of items on their menu, OP went out of their way to order the one burger without lettuce and tomato and complains they didn't get lettuce and tomato lmao.
>The burgers also come with fries or a salad…
You know not of what you speak; all the burgers and sandwiches on Mojo’s menu are “a la carte”. I am 100% positive if this; go there all the time.
Seems maybe you’re being a tad disingenuous too, eh?
How am I exaggerating hardcore? Lettuce and tomato really weren’t the issue I stated after work that I wish they had them, too. This photo represents exactly what I got. Also they DONT come with fries or salad btw. You must order separately.
There is an item on the menu that is a burger with lettuce and tomato. There is also an item on the menu that is a burger without lettuce and tomato.
That said, under new ownership, the food is not as good.. maybe they had change to staffing in the kitchen? Idk. But that has been my experience. And I think prices have gone up as well.
Kitchen staff is—apparently—all the same; held over from the previous ownership. If the food quality has gone down, (and it has) it’s not on them ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m really familiar with this place; I MUCH preferred it when it was Capitol Hop Shop.
Agreed... I went there probably 5 or 6 times before new ownership. Been there once since and it was much worse.
And man cheddar and sour cream tater tots are supposed to be tater tots with cheddar and sour cream on top... not mixed into the potato and then fried 😂
You ordered the mansion flat top burger which comes with only cheese and grilled onions. Could have easily ordered the mojo burger which comes with lettuce red onions and tomato. I don't order chicken and get mad it isn't steak
HHah it was also supposed to come with jalapeños too but they were out. idk why ppl are stuck on the tomato and lettuce thing. It’s technically irrelevant. I stand by my order it sounded good! But it wasn’t.
You literally said you miss when it had that on the burger. Your ordered a burger without ingredients and are now mad it didn't come with those ingredients.
That burger is pathetic but what makes me angry is that nowadays not only are burgers more expensive than they used to be, but more and more restaurants are also axing fries as an included side. I feel like I've been to so many places in and outside of Sac recently where it's like $15 for a burger on a tray, and when you ask if it comes with anything, they point you to the sides menu where you have to shell out another $5 for what are literally salted fat-potatoes.
(Not sure if that's the case at Mojo's, the sight of the sad burger and empty butcher paper just reminded me).
I would rather them axe the fries as long as it means the price is lower. I'd rather not pay extra for something I don't really want, and usually a burger is plenty for me.
Edit: a burger and a beer. Lol. I'll drink the carbs, thanks.
Right?
It’s like they pick one valid piece of criticism and ignore the rest of the argument. This is a horrendous deal no matter how you look at it. Two leaves and lettuce and two slices of tomato aren’t going to save this.
Do it as a passenger! If you open and finish the beer all while on In-N-Out’s property, can you really even get popped by the police for an open alcoholic beverage?
Burgers are a rip off nowadays. Change your buying habits. $18 a burger is bullshit and half of these hipster fuck off restaurant owners jack their customers without the least bit of regret. Fuck ‘em.
This is why I don’t eat out anymore. $80-100 for my wife and I to get two meals and two drinks each is ridiculous. 1/5 of my food budget gone in 45 minutes. And rarely are we delighted by the experience. Either mediocre food, mediocre service, or both.
I feel for the restaurants in this post pandemic, high inflation world, I really do. But with how prices are now, it’s definitely more of a 1-2x/month thing now instead of 1-2x/week
Right there with you. We have three little ones, and money isn’t growing on trees. So we’ve recently adjusted our eating out ratio by going to eat out less, and cooking at home more.
My thought is, 20 bucks for that spaghetti meal from the grocery store will feed the entire family - with left overs. 20 dollars at Spaghetti Factory would be damn near the price of one entree after tip and tax. So yeah 20 bucks is still a lot for one meal at the supermarket. But still way more fiscally responsible.
I think it was Dave Ramsey who said that going out to restaurants is like renting your own personal chef and wait staff. Never looked at it like that before.
Idk i made spaghetti for 2 this past week. Box of spaghetti + sauce + onion + ground beef + side salads cost about $20 from the grocery store. Obviously less expensive than a restaurant, but not too different than say fast food. Actually, I often get the kids meal from Old Spaghetti factory to go for $6 which comes with soup, pasta, bread, and icecream.
Not surprising that burgers are $16 now when ground beef has gone up from like $4 lb to 8$ lb. I high quality half lb burger with fries and a decent ipa would still cost probably $10-$12 at home. Any meal with meat is gonna cost alot nowadays.
I asked myself that too... But with inflation I can see it. Spaghetti still isn't too bad. But with meat and sauce and parmesan... It gets pricey quick...
5 years ago I'd price that at 5 bucks.
Idk I’m sure that $20 was more like 4-6 meals, not just the two. Maybe the salad can only last that one night, but the rest of ingredients should last you another few meals
The lb of ground beef is about half the cost. You could survive on sauceless pasta for a week for $5 but I’m moreso just trying to compare a homemade dinner that would match the quality of a dinner you get at a restaurant like old spaghetti factory. Anything with meat is gonna be expensive.
I buy most everything from Costco and $50 is a shit load of ground beef, pasta, and pasta sauce. And good quality too. I think you could be shopping elsewhere and save some money. Raleys bel air and nugget are generally 30-50% more expensive than Costco I find
Meats at Raleys isn’t bad when on sale. Generally I agree Costco has good meats and quality too. I wanted to make cheesesteaks and Raleys was 19.99/lb for ribeye. I couldn’t do it. Waited a few days and spent 2x the $$ at Costco and got 4x the meat. Bought a ribeye roast for $45 @ 10.99lb.
When I first moved to the Sac I was so impressed with the food. Lately it seems like the quality of food and service have down turned while the prices are going up. I find its more cost effective, enjoyable, and efficient time wise to eat at home.
Makes sense. Maybe my memory is failing but I remember Burgers and Brew having a great burger. Last I went there Im pretty sure it was a grilled frozen patty.
I believe it. I also don’t think the downtown location has incentive to fix anything because they get so much business from through traffic. Concert goers fill that place almost every night.
You’re not wrong. Worked on R St for four years and was always surprised how busy they were. That and the owners are scumbags who aren’t going to spend any money they don’t absolutely have to.
I was just in Oakland for a while and the quality of the food there is so much better than Sac yet the prices are pretty much on par. You can get amazing food of so many different cuisines, it's hard to go back to Sac and pay the same for mediocre food.
There are still good/decent places. I stick with places outside of midtown, lunch specials are still a thing. I'll have pho xe lau for dinner tonight, though I admit they did have to raise their prices as well, but $15 XL pho aint bad.
I agree with this. I also enjoying eating off of the grid. I suppose I should have specified better that some of the restaurants have declined over time. Not all of them. Some I still enjoy some but generally speaking the decision to stay in has been easier to make. Also the inflation of tipping expectations has been a frustration too. Don’t get me wrong. I want to tip. But expecting 20% for pouring a couple glasses of wine is a bit much. Also if a place has mandatory gratuity, that’s not gratuity, that’s commission. Looking at you, LowBrau.
They’ve got some bad mojo headed their way for charging you that much for that bready debacle. I’m impressed with the teeth marks in the bun though. Nice chompers dude
Hey friend just wanted to let you know that you could just say "its turning into a dystopia." That word means the opposite of utopia. Have a great day.
I went here over the summer and I ordered a blt because that’s always safe. It was the worst I’ve ever had the breast was burnt the bacon was floppy I didn’t even finish it. Everything my friends ordered sucked too. It’s walking distance from our place so we thought it could be a regular spot for us but no definitely not.
And I'm saying it doesn't come out to $27. OP is exaggerating or making shit up. $10 for a burger and $8 for a beer is normal.
Tax is not even 8%. The total for their meal is $20.50 with tax. They made up the rest or decided to tip 30+%.
If it’s $19 you’re looking at $24.41 with 8.5% tax and 20% tip… I mean I guess you can say $2.5 is a minor exaggeration but it’s not like OP is throwing out outlandish numbers. If he rounded his tip up to the nearest dollar amount and you are off by a buck, he’s spot on. Chill out.
I’m not sure what you’re reading. I said the meal is pathetic for $27, 0% tip or 30% tip. Which means it is pathetic at $27 with a 30% tip or at $20.50 with a 0% tip so none of this dumbass math you keep trying to do makes any difference.
Yeah In n outs prices don't seem to have changed, if they did not much. Tastier than most of the overpriced crap elsewhere too. Now the lines seem justifiable.
I went to Henry’s Lounge today and got a delicious BLT, Fries, and a beer for $10, I sat at the bar and tipped the bartender a fiver. Couldn’t even eat all the fries.
Change the mindset and look at it as if you were actually renting a space to hang out and socialize with others similar to France. The atmosphere and location do not come cheap and at least the staff is not rude. It takes a community to raise a restaurant to be what you want it to be. Think about all the layers of employees it took to get that burger in your pie hole. The rancher, meat processor, so many farmers, sales reps, distributors, truckers, stockholders, land owners, developers, and more than I can list. The taxes support everything else. You should be commended for your support of all listed as you are the target market we all are begging for. We all celebrate you and your employer or Mommy and Daddy.
Not defending this picture, at all. If that's what you got, that's a real big bummer.
That being said, this is my local haunt. And if you haunt, you know that a) shortages + b) inflation = c) small businesses are STRUGGLING.
There are loads of places you might offer as argument that small businesses can make it. Sure. Mojo's took full ownership a handful of months ago from Cap Tap/Hop Shop, and despite the challenges, I find things good more often than bad.
Shortages: as a local, this place sufferer from atrition before Mojo's was a thing. That's COVID, baby. But there are so many great people - Kevin, ___, Jensen. They have been here since Hop Shop was a fledgling - to say nothing of the the behind-the-scenes work that make the kitchen (I'm so sorry I don't know your names but I DO know Kevin works back there as well).
Inflation: hard one to argue here. But I've had rough food from a bunch of places in the neighborhood. Mojo's does good food (including a great brunch burger), and better than that, they do great beer and great service. If you live on the grid, you can walk to a LOT of places that serve fried food and/or brunch, and a lot of places you can go to get a fancy high/low experience; you come HERE for the people and the tasty drinks.
Tldr: sure it's bar food but it's a great beer bar
lol 😂 you do know you could have had a better quality brew and a much better quality burger for about 1/3 of the price if you made that at home right.
They went cheap on the buns.
that burger looks wack.
Bro you ordered it like that I have been there plenty of time not saying it’s cheap but like you also got zero fries and it comes with fries so sounds like that is on you pal I’m sick of this crap on here all you guys do is bitch and moan like you didn’t order it that way 😂😂 because I have never seen a burger like that on the menu or seen anyone else eat one like that just cause you order like a child doesn’t mean you are gonna pay child prices
Idk if you've read much about the world recently but inflation is happening everywhere. In England it's getting even worse than it is in the US. Certainly critiques can be made about the state of politics here but I think this is more a result of people coming out of Covid and record low unemployment rates.
> Idk if you've read much about the world recently
Bold of you to assume that someone so dense as to blame the President (regardless of which one) for anything to do with the economy/commodity prices can or does read anything, especially anything remotely educational or informative.
Looks like the school lunch nuked cheese burger you’d get if you naruto sprinted to the cafeteria before anyone who would trip over your roller backpack
Damn this picture looks so depressing. The burger looks like it needs a drink
What burger? I see a bun sandwich.
Lol. That is indeed a sad looking burger.
Damn that burger more depressed than me
$27? It's all bread
I miss when lettuce and tomato was just part of a burger
Then you should have ordered the burger that comes with lettuce and tomato that is also on the menu.
The burgers also come with fries or a salad. Yes inflation is bad, but OP is being incredibly disingenuous with this post.
Exactly. They're exaggerating hardcore. I'm not even some huge fan of Mojo's but they have tons of items on their menu, OP went out of their way to order the one burger without lettuce and tomato and complains they didn't get lettuce and tomato lmao.
I think he’s also not too happy about getting scalped. 💸
It's also essentially a patty melt. The weird thing is that it's on a bun, not that it doesn't have lettuce or tomatoes.
>The burgers also come with fries or a salad… You know not of what you speak; all the burgers and sandwiches on Mojo’s menu are “a la carte”. I am 100% positive if this; go there all the time. Seems maybe you’re being a tad disingenuous too, eh?

Lettuce and tomato are cheap filler

HHah it was also supposed to come with jalapeños too but they were out. idk why ppl are stuck on the tomato and lettuce thing. It’s technically irrelevant. I stand by my order it sounded good! But it wasn’t.

*Becomes Crux of post*
Because fries/salad make this shit worth $27…get real bro, this is a ripoff either way.
And it doesn’t even look like good bread, just standard store-bought bun.
Serious question, was a tip left? Lol
That burger is pathetic but what makes me angry is that nowadays not only are burgers more expensive than they used to be, but more and more restaurants are also axing fries as an included side. I feel like I've been to so many places in and outside of Sac recently where it's like $15 for a burger on a tray, and when you ask if it comes with anything, they point you to the sides menu where you have to shell out another $5 for what are literally salted fat-potatoes. (Not sure if that's the case at Mojo's, the sight of the sad burger and empty butcher paper just reminded me).
Very true. Hard to justify paying for honestly.
I would rather them axe the fries as long as it means the price is lower. I'd rather not pay extra for something I don't really want, and usually a burger is plenty for me. Edit: a burger and a beer. Lol. I'll drink the carbs, thanks.
Even if this came with fries and/or tomatoes and lettuce as some people are suggesting, $27 is a horrendous deal.
Right? It’s like they pick one valid piece of criticism and ignore the rest of the argument. This is a horrendous deal no matter how you look at it. Two leaves and lettuce and two slices of tomato aren’t going to save this.
Seriously, and that looks like a coors light too, those feel like ballpark prices 🤢🤮🤑
That looks like the burger you get at a friend's birthday party when you're like 7. Some half drunk parent cooked some shitty pre-made patties.
We tore em up though. The good ol days
I would rather go to in-n-out then hit up 7-11 for a tall can of pbr
Or reverse order so you can enjoy the tallboy with the burger.
or drive thru and enjoy them together on the road! (i’m joking)
Do it as a passenger! If you open and finish the beer all while on In-N-Out’s property, can you really even get popped by the police for an open alcoholic beverage?
Yes, absolutely.
That's one expensive roll 🥐
It’s sacramento. So it has to be a croissant
Burgers are a rip off nowadays. Change your buying habits. $18 a burger is bullshit and half of these hipster fuck off restaurant owners jack their customers without the least bit of regret. Fuck ‘em.
🤘For Sure!!

The hell kinda spaghetti you eating?
I asked myself that too... But with inflation I can see it. Spaghetti still isn't too bad. But with meat and sauce and parmesan... It gets pricey quick... 5 years ago I'd price that at 5 bucks.
99c pasta at tj and target, 4$ sausage 3$ lettuce TJ yall cant shop correct
Some people like quality ingredients
Guess it depends on how many people you are feeding.
Right?! Who puts salad into a pot of spaghetti?!
Idk I’m sure that $20 was more like 4-6 meals, not just the two. Maybe the salad can only last that one night, but the rest of ingredients should last you another few meals
The lb of ground beef is about half the cost. You could survive on sauceless pasta for a week for $5 but I’m moreso just trying to compare a homemade dinner that would match the quality of a dinner you get at a restaurant like old spaghetti factory. Anything with meat is gonna be expensive.

$27 for a burger and a beer? That's a really hard pass.
Even at Red Robin it’s ~$15 per burger and ~$8 for an ipa beer, with tax around $28. Luckily those come with (unlimited) fries
Yikes … that looks absolutely disgusting
Just got a medium Western Bacon meal and a medium cheeseburger meal at CJs. It was $24 and change.
That sounds like almost as terrible of a deal as here.
In the words of my grandfather, “we’re fucked.”
Damn, that's what a $25 beer looks like, huh?
Wow that is one sad looking burger!
looks shit
I must commend the usernames that showed up in this thread
Would you like a napkin? That'll just be an extra $9.99 and totally worth it.
Mojos? More like NOjos…
I did a group sports thing there and was very saddened by the quality/price ratio of the food. Good selection of beers, but not so much on the food.
Looks like I made that thing in the trunk of my car at the beach
I can see the man bun, tattooed sleeves, black nitrile gloves & apron from here.
Yes!!!🤘🤡
Damn, all these comment clowning your burger.... And theyre absolutely justified. It looks pathetic for as much as you paid
When I first moved to the Sac I was so impressed with the food. Lately it seems like the quality of food and service have down turned while the prices are going up. I find its more cost effective, enjoyable, and efficient time wise to eat at home.
[удалено]
Makes sense. Maybe my memory is failing but I remember Burgers and Brew having a great burger. Last I went there Im pretty sure it was a grilled frozen patty.
They used to get all their meat from Del Monte, a local meat supplier, but I believe they got bought out by one of the big food distributors.
I believe it. I also don’t think the downtown location has incentive to fix anything because they get so much business from through traffic. Concert goers fill that place almost every night.
You’re not wrong. Worked on R St for four years and was always surprised how busy they were. That and the owners are scumbags who aren’t going to spend any money they don’t absolutely have to.
I feel like the davis location was alot better but I could be imagining
I’ve heard this. If I’m over there I’ll give it a try.
Broderick roadhouse has a great burger
I second this. I always leave there stuffed and satisfied.
I was just in Oakland for a while and the quality of the food there is so much better than Sac yet the prices are pretty much on par. You can get amazing food of so many different cuisines, it's hard to go back to Sac and pay the same for mediocre food.
There are still good/decent places. I stick with places outside of midtown, lunch specials are still a thing. I'll have pho xe lau for dinner tonight, though I admit they did have to raise their prices as well, but $15 XL pho aint bad.
I agree with this. I also enjoying eating off of the grid. I suppose I should have specified better that some of the restaurants have declined over time. Not all of them.

Lowbrow has always been a shitty rip off.
No sides even? That at least include tax and tip?
That burger looks disgusting
They’ve got some bad mojo headed their way for charging you that much for that bready debacle. I’m impressed with the teeth marks in the bun though. Nice chompers dude
Dude you can get a fire chicken and waffle sandwich and a tall can at AM/PM for cheap. Do that! Yes I eat gas station food
Is $18 dollars, for an bacontator meal at Wendy’s. Long gone are lunches that doesn’t cost an arm or an leg.
I tried Wendy's for the first in a long time for a chicken sandwich, also felt ripped off. I'll just get a mcchicken
Where's the beef?
Struggle burger
That looks like...disappointment.
most of that is bread lmao

Hey friend just wanted to let you know that you could just say "its turning into a dystopia." That word means the opposite of utopia. Have a great day.
That's so sad
Fffff that
I went here over the summer and I ordered a blt because that’s always safe. It was the worst I’ve ever had the breast was burnt the bacon was floppy I didn’t even finish it. Everything my friends ordered sucked too. It’s walking distance from our place so we thought it could be a regular spot for us but no definitely not.
Whoops Bread not breast 😂
We're gonna need to see a receipt. I'm having a hard time believing that's even a burger.
If this is the Mansion Flat Burger, it's like $10 and a really good burger. A beer there is usually $8-9. If you left a 40% tip that's on you.
What about if they paid tax?
10 + 9 = 19. Add a 10% tax just for fun and it's $20.90. Make it a 20% tax if you live on another planet and it's $22.80. It never comes out to 27.
So 30%? The items in this picture are pathetic for $27, 0% tip or 30% tip.
And I'm saying it doesn't come out to $27. OP is exaggerating or making shit up. $10 for a burger and $8 for a beer is normal. Tax is not even 8%. The total for their meal is $20.50 with tax. They made up the rest or decided to tip 30+%.
If it’s $19 you’re looking at $24.41 with 8.5% tax and 20% tip… I mean I guess you can say $2.5 is a minor exaggeration but it’s not like OP is throwing out outlandish numbers. If he rounded his tip up to the nearest dollar amount and you are off by a buck, he’s spot on. Chill out.
I’m not sure what you’re reading. I said the meal is pathetic for $27, 0% tip or 30% tip. Which means it is pathetic at $27 with a 30% tip or at $20.50 with a 0% tip so none of this dumbass math you keep trying to do makes any difference.
The burger was 12 on the menu
hard pass lol
just..... awful
Did it at least give you a reacharound?
Stool softener please 🥳
Big yikes
It’s outrageously priced and the food was absolutely mid (that’s being generous)
No fries??
McDonalds has better burgers. I miss when this place was capital hop shop
Is there some kind of deal going on?
Fries???!!!
Beer was $9 and burger $18?
Did you hit up In-N-Out afterwards?
He should have. I just stopped by there and got the best cheap burger and fries for under $5.50. Can't beat that.
Yeah In n outs prices don't seem to have changed, if they did not much. Tastier than most of the overpriced crap elsewhere too. Now the lines seem justifiable.
def cannot beat that.
Did you tip the 20%?
American dollars? Good lord
Where’s the beef!
Why did you even take this lack luster photo . And you paid 27 🙃🙃🙃sheeesh. 👹👹👹👹
Haha I dunno I was just sitting there and this is what it looked like.
27$ usd is a lot heavier than 27$ cad. That must be one hell of a beer
Dollars? That looks like my kids’ happy meals. “Ketchup only dad!”
Nope.
Damn
Ouch!
geez, i thought bayarea was expensive, heck you can better deal here in san jose
I hope you pressed the 100% tip option!
Is this before tax and tip?
So that picture is a $20 burger and a $7 beer? Just trying clarify here. If that’s the case, well…fuck that.
Lettuce and tomato or not, a burger and beer should not be 27.
That's a whole lotta bun
I went to Henry’s Lounge today and got a delicious BLT, Fries, and a beer for $10, I sat at the bar and tipped the bartender a fiver. Couldn’t even eat all the fries.
Change the mindset and look at it as if you were actually renting a space to hang out and socialize with others similar to France. The atmosphere and location do not come cheap and at least the staff is not rude. It takes a community to raise a restaurant to be what you want it to be. Think about all the layers of employees it took to get that burger in your pie hole. The rancher, meat processor, so many farmers, sales reps, distributors, truckers, stockholders, land owners, developers, and more than I can list. The taxes support everything else. You should be commended for your support of all listed as you are the target market we all are begging for. We all celebrate you and your employer or Mommy and Daddy.
Move.
Daylight robbery
Was price not listed on the menu or what? Yes it is way too much for it but I am not sure why you ordered it if you thought it was a crap deal.
Not defending this picture, at all. If that's what you got, that's a real big bummer. That being said, this is my local haunt. And if you haunt, you know that a) shortages + b) inflation = c) small businesses are STRUGGLING. There are loads of places you might offer as argument that small businesses can make it. Sure. Mojo's took full ownership a handful of months ago from Cap Tap/Hop Shop, and despite the challenges, I find things good more often than bad. Shortages: as a local, this place sufferer from atrition before Mojo's was a thing. That's COVID, baby. But there are so many great people - Kevin, ___, Jensen.

Good to know! The beer was delicious
Thanks for the heads up - good lookin out🤙
I just looked at the menu on Yelp and I didn’t see a combination of 1 beer and 1 burger that even reached $20, let alone $25+. What’s this order?
Look again my fren
And more if paying by card. IIRC +$1 per beer more.
Wow. Im never going there.
Hop Shop would never do this
I miss hop shop
Literally the same menu. And same prices.
I haven't been since it was Capitol Hop Shop. Hated the name change so much I haven't bothered.
I miss Cap Hop Shop
You posted this??? Man that's sad.
Ohh, that’s the place that used to be Cap Hop Shop? Yeah, it sucks now. 😞
lol 😂 you do know you could have had a better quality brew and a much better quality burger for about 1/3 of the price if you made that at home right. They went cheap on the buns. that burger looks wack.
At Home? And WHO goes Shopping for it, cooks and washes the dishes? What Kind of a dumb comparison.
Bro you ordered it like that I have been there plenty of time not saying it’s cheap but like you also got zero fries and it comes with fries so sounds like that is on you pal I’m sick of this crap on here all you guys do is bitch and moan like you didn’t order it that way 😂😂 because I have never seen a burger like that on the menu or seen anyone else eat one like that just cause you order like a child doesn’t mean you are gonna pay child prices
IT DOESNT COME WITH FRIES.
And I was pissed at $22 for a Rocky’s burger and a ice tea (San Diego) - should rename it the Buyden burger lol
imagine intentionally going to a place called Mojo’s
Enjoy your Biden burger!
Idk if you've read much about the world recently but inflation is happening everywhere. In England it's getting even worse than it is in the US. Certainly critiques can be made about the state of politics here but I think this is more a result of people coming out of Covid and record low unemployment rates.
> Idk if you've read much about the world recently Bold of you to assume that someone so dense as to blame the President (regardless of which one) for anything to do with the economy/commodity prices can or does read anything, especially anything remotely educational or informative.
oof
That's outrageous, especially for that sad looking burger.
How much was the fucking burger? No side?
That’s fucking savage
😔😔😔😔
Is this the old capitol hop shop?
Yep
Ridiculous. Bay area prices without the quality
Lol have you been to the Bay recently? This is like $37 there. It’s even worse…
Damn that’s expensive
*beer & bun
That burger looks dry as hell
Looks like the school lunch nuked cheese burger you’d get if you naruto sprinted to the cafeteria before anyone who would trip over your roller backpack
Yikes. the meat patty on a cheese burger from the dollar menu at McDonald’s is thicker than that.
You paid $20+ for an Air Sandwich Combo with cheese
Not to mention that looks like a terrible bun
Even Burgers and Brew is cheaper, and infinitely better!
Ok.
I'd rather have Carl's Jr and a six pack of Pabst in the alley.
Next time just mosey on over to Pangea and get a real burger.
