by Rilindo F. on *looks upon Blais' offering. First thought: "Its smaller than I expected" REWIND: I was in the mood for a burger again that day. My first thought was not to go to Farm Burger - after the flood that is the crowd 7 days earlier, I was not in the mood to get packed again. I have heard about this Flip thing through rateclubs, so after a couple of hours at the coffee shop, I drove over. Parking was not an issue, although apparently it was an issue enough that there are other park arrangements nearby. Getting out the hard, I found the place crowded. Bad sign (for me, at least). Fortunately, there were spots on the bar, so I was about to get a seat immediately. Gazing through the menu, I studied each one carefully, until I got the A5. . . "Flip, 6.50, Philly, 7.5, A5, 39-what" Yes, there is a 39 dollar burger on the menu. Wow. The impulsive part of me really wanted to get that, but common sense (as well as recent experience of paying an exorbitant amount of money to the gubment) got the better. So I ordered the bacon & cheese (because who doesn't love bacon) as well as vodka battered onion rings (because while I don't drink, I don't mind getting close to the edge every now and then). The food came quickly (at least by the standards of Farm Burger). I was happy until it was set down on my plate. For a moment there, I thought I had one of those sliders, but no, it is an actual burger, with an equally smaller portion of onion rings. In fact, it was the smallest burger I ever recall eating at any place. It seems to be even smaller than your 99 cents burger at a certain burger chain by a crazed clown. Now, lets get this out of the way: the burger is good. I got good service, I like the look of the place. I can't argue with that. But the burger, at the price I paid is. Too. Frickin. Small. I felt cheated. It is entirely possible that is the whole point, though. The place is likely either for people to clump together to engage in loud, riotous conversation (They have too - the music is not exactly set to half-eleven), while occasionally nibbled on an over-sized slider or foodie fans of Richard Blais (who, incidentally, I have heard of, but never made the connection until today) - Solitary people-phobic programmers seeking comfort of a large American classic need not apply. Perhaps if I ever decided to be social in the future, this could be a good place to stop by. And the rest of the menu seems intriguing. However, I am not terribly inclined to stop by anytime soon. After all, when comes to burgers. . . . . .size does matter.
by Gail Kinsolving on Let me separate this review into two parts 1. Fun = 5 stars ( it's all about the company) 2. Club= 0 star reasons being 1. crowded area.. right next to time square. difficult to get to 2. uptight doorman bouncer. ( definitely for tourist, cause true new yorker wouldn't put up with that shit) 3. venue, very disappointing.. I don't get the concept at all 4. Music, wacks times to times 5. coat-check lady.. can you be any dumber??? I guess average out this place really only deserves my 2 stars.
