who the hell waits an hour and a half for a burger? is it that important to say u at a particular restaurant? surely your time is more valuable than that?

We went on a Thursday around 6:30pm and had about a 10 minute wait. Our server was attentive enough where we cant complain. We ordered turkey burgers and sweet p. tots. Lets just say the turkey burger patty is about the size of a silver dollar pancake. Wait, that’s not the best part- peep this, you get eight (8) tater tots to go along with your silver dollar size turkey burger patty. When they brought the food out, I had this really silly feeling like I was being robbed somehow based on the serving size. It was one of those feeling like, what am I going to find to eat in the next 90 minutes because I know I’m going to be hungry again really quickly. The taste of the turkey burger was good however the tater tots were something I could have done without. By the time we left around 7:30pm, there were so many people in this place that it must have been a fire code violation.

Busy Sat afternoon at around 1pm. 45 min wait. No worries. 15 min to get our fois gros milkshake. Don’t split the shake – I swear the two separate dont add up to be the original one. Mediocre taste and way too expensive. Johhny Rockets and Steak and Shake have better vanilla milkshakes. Sweet potatoe tators were terrible – fried with no sweet potatoe taste – again, overpriced. Onion rings were good – but hoped for bigger rings. Butter top hamburger bun was good. High grade hamburger blend of meats was great. Toppings were very good. Music inside was a bit to loud for my ears. Last word – I was hungry in 3 hours – burgers are on the small size – but they are good and reasonably priced when compared to other higher end eateries.

The steak tartar burger is back on the menu. I was wrongly informed that it was gone for good…my apologies for the misunderstanding.

well as a counter to some of the complaints above:

Went at 12:30 on a wed a couple weeks ago, the wait was 30 minutes. The milkshakes came out in 10 minutes and all the food came out all at once (maybe 20 minutes after ordering).

My cuban burger and rutabaga fries were excellent, the biggest disappointment was my fois gros milkshake. It had no real noticeable smokey/meatiness – more like a less sweet than usual vanilla milkshake without the vanilla.

The kobe burger ($30) was available when I visited last week. Can’t say I was overly impressed.

Made the mistake of going on a Friday night, quoted a 45-minute wait time – after an hour and 15 minutes there were still 15 parties ahead of us, so we left…

I went here on Saturday. It was a mad house. I was quoted a wait of 1hr 45min but was seated after and 1 hr and 30 min only because my dinner companion made friends with the hostess. Apparently they were behind on their wait as well.

I received great service and I thought that I would have to wait a long time for my food to come out, but I was pleasantly surprised that the food came out quickly. I had the Butcher’s Cut and will agree that it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. I don’t even like hamburgers but I thoroughly enjoyed Flip. The burger was smaller than what I was expecting, but I was full before even finishing it.

This was place was TINY for the amount of people packed into it. I’m sure once the new car smell wares off, it won’t be like that though.

I don’t enjoy crowds, and I was really uncomfortable with the zoo I saw when I poked my head in at 2pm on Friday–naively thinking it was sufficiently after the lunch crowd to have quieted down. I left. I’ll try again, but by that time Blais will probably have gone yet somewhere else.

I went last Thursday evening and the place was PACKED. Waited 45 minutes to get a table and then after placing our order, waited a LONG time for our food. The appetizers, burgers and sides all came out at the same time, while the table next to us had proper, staggered servings. Seems they are having trouble with timing.

I agree with the other posts that the initial bites are wonderful, but the joy fades fast. I had the FLIP Burger and the Butcher Cut. The FLIP Burger was a big letdown, but the Butcher Cut was easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten.

The Krispy Kreme milkshake is pure genius and a “must get” item. The fries are also excellent.

I’ll be going back – hopefully the wait and service are much improved on my next visit.
