Barney's Burgers

Located in the heart of the city, in the infamous neighborhood of Brentwood, there is Barney's Burgers. It may be a little hard to find, but once you put your right foot through the door, you will not expect what you see. The restaurant is designed with news publicity that their chain has recieved throughout the country. While I was up north over Thanksgiving, I went to a different location near the University of California. Going back to my latest weekend dining experience, Byron, Taylor, and I arrived to the restaurant roughly thirty minutes before Allison, so to compensate for the time we ordered some fries and shakes. I am not normally one to nag to the waitor or waitress, but just to recieve our fries it took fifteen to twenty minutes. The fries came out so hot that I struggled with every fry I ate. I ordered an oreo milkshake which is hard to mess up with. The shake was thick and was just was I was looking for.  I do not know if I was just starving for my bacon cheeseburger or if I was actually disapointed with the service. As soon as Allison arrived we ordered the burgers and waited a reasonable fifteen minutes for them to come out steaming off the grill. My bacon cheeseburger was just what I was looking for as it had tons of bacon, a nice buttery bun, no tomatoes, and cheese that was dripping off of the patty. The overall food experience was quite pleasing, but I was not impressed with the service. The waitors and waitresses were working hard, but  I just feel as though they need more staff to better the experience of the customer. I gave Barney's Burgers a 7.25/10 on the Conch scale and I will revaluate the restaurant in the near distance so I can see if they have fixed the flaws that I have pointed out.
