$17 Cheeseburger

[imschur]

So I ate at this place called Roxy in Times Square NYC. My medium cooked bacon cheeseburger was so overcooked it crunched. Marios was the same.

The bill was $41 for two burgers and a coffee. I left a $5 tip. The waitress chases me down for not leaving a minimum mandatory tip.

I hate the city. I did like all the pretty ladies though  :beer:

[Microgunner]

First, if it's mandatory it's not a tip. Secondly, last time I had a $17 burger it came with soup, salad, big ol drink and pie. I wouldn't have paid for it if it was burned.

[imschur]

A slice of cheesecake was $9.95

[Microgunner]

At those prices I hope they had someone to wipe your butt when you took a dump.

[imschur]

Heres the place

[Microgunner]

Says you're an unauthorized hotlinker.

[imschur]

bastards

[lmao_37]

Should have said i dont give tips for burned food  :thumb: well i dont think ill be eating there any time but thanks for the warning  :o

[imschur]

The deli sandwiches looked awesome. Lot of stuff with "Tongue" in the name  :o

[lmao_37]

Well its better than ass in the name i suppose  :o

One of the reason I avoid NYC.

What is a "mandatory" tip?  I thought the tip was a way of recognizing good service.

I think it's just New York City mentality. A $17 cheeseburger and a $10 slice of cheesecake should have been my sign...

[asmurff]

At $17 I'd have thought a tip was already included. We went ti Ireland a bit over a year ago and you don't tip yet I only got bad service in a place in dublin which is a big place for Americans to go.

McGuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL has a burger they call the "Grand".

If I remember correctly, its a lb of kobe beef burger, and it comes with a magnum of fine champagne.

$100 bucks.

Needless to say I never tried it. But their peanut butter burger was awesome.

[asmurff]

I looked up reviews for Roxy and didn't find any I thought were favorable.

Anyone like them hot, come to NM and try a Green Chili Cheeseburger.

[Microgunner]

peanut butter burger?

[bdavison]

Yes, Peanut Butter Burger....it sounds disgusting, but its actually QUITE tasty.

Its a regular grilled burger, but with a thin condiment sized helping of peanut butter on top.

If you havent tried this yet, you need to. Its similar in taste to those peanut crusted steaks you get at fancy steakhouses....just in burger form.

[Microgunner]

Sounds great. I'm definitely going to try that out.  :thumb:

[lmao_37]

Sounds gross :vom:  to me sorry but peanut butter is an american thing sorry :o

[Microgunner]

Peanut butter not popular in the UK?

[bdavison]

No, in the UK, they have Nutella.

Love that stuff.

Ill take some Bangers and Mash please, and some of that Black Currant hard candies...and some Flake bars...and whatever else you got over there that we dont have here.

Every Irish pub around here serves shepard's pie. No Irish pubs in your neck of the woods?

[bdavison]

I just make my own shepard's pie.

I use pepperjack, and tatertots on top.

Ummmmm...yummy in da tummy. LOL

Those Flake candy bars are fantastic, I dont know why they dont sell em over here.

Bounty bars are good too...over here they call them Mounds, but they make them with dark chocolate. Im not big on the dark chocolate.
