McDonald&#x27;s

Moonburger has been on my radar for quite some time. I don't normally make it up near New Paltz,…read morethough drive past it enough to go upstate to see family. My mom and I had an event nearby so we picked up some burgers beforehand. There is plenty of street parking on Main St and we managed to get a spot right out front. This location is very small with about 5 seats. There is a kiosk you can order from or from the counter. I ordered the classic cheeseburger while my mom chose the vegetarian option. We both ordered fries as well. The cheeseburger came with a ton of toppings making it very flavorful. Definitely a better option than other fast food joints, as I didn't feel sluggish post meal. Part of me wanted to try the milkshake but will save that for when I visit their Manhattan location.

We found street parking right in front of Moonburger on our way to dinner down the street. The way the aroma of deliciousness followed us for atleast a 1/4 of a mile, I knew I was coming back for one. After dinner and little drinking, I was happy Moonburger was still open, the interior was small and packed, with a bench inside and right outside for waiting. I headed to the counter, although they do have a touch screen ordering option below their mounted menu screens. I attempted my little order but the woman at the counter stopped me, offering a little background on their burger types and option of impossible patties or beef. I settled on a Beef Cheeseburger with their special sauce and no crispy onions. The burger came out piping hot, with a fresh beef smash burger and that good cheese that melts perfectly! Ummm hello! This is now my go to burger spot! I loved it, tasting a hint of Dijon mustard in the special sauce. At about $8.50/ cheeseburger. I was pleased with the price and the service. The wait was maybe 7 mins. I demolished that burger and headed home. Until next time, I'm hollering at the Moon for you! Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

Why has no one filmed this establishment yet and when will they come out with their own burger cook book!? Also to note, the staff was extremely friendly and awesome! I met one of the co owners and she was just so incredibly kind. Also we got dessert here for the first time. I am so mad I didn't take a picture but it was a crème brûlée cheesecake and it was incredible. If you have the room for it definitely order it you will not be disappointed!!!

Most of them are the same and consistently is a good thing. You know what you're getting every time. There are rocking chairs outside with a giant checkers board as well.

Service was good too.

I have never, in all of my 75 years of life, asked to speak to the manager of a restaurant but I…read moreguess that there's a first time for everything. Our visit began well. Our waitress, Hope, was very sweet and took our order promptly. After waiting about 30 minutes, we asked about our order. Hope explained that a bus had arrived and that the kitchen had been overwhelmed. We hadn't seen a bus or an unusually large number of customers, but she kindly offered us some biscuits while we waited. The biscuits were delicious, although we hadn't wanted to fill up on bread before our meal. When our food finally arrived, my companion's meatloaf was cold, so he had to send it back to be reheated. I had ordered French toast, but pancakes arrived instead. Hope checked her order pad, confirmed that I had indeed ordered French toast, and offered to take the pancakes back. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. Within about two minutes, she returned with what was supposed to be French toast. It looked like slices of bread that had been hastily dipped in egg and barely cooked. The slices were white rather than the golden-brown color you would expect from properly prepared French toast. I tried a piece, and it essentially tasted like bread. It was so undercooked that I called it "raw French toast." When Hope came back to check on us, I told her that the French toast was inedible. Her response was simply to ask if we wanted the check. When we went to pay our tab, the cashier asked if we had been happy with our meal. I took the opportunity to say no, and she called over the manager. I briefly explained my disappointment and the manager promptly offered to remove the cost of my meal from the bill. That was satisfactory but I didn't get the feeling that she was going to talk to the cook about the fact that such horrible food should never have left the kitchen to begin with. Was she going to try to improve the service for the next customer? I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I appreciated Hope's pleasant attitude but waiting roughly 30 minutes for our food, receiving cold meatloaf, and then being served essentially uncooked French toast is not an acceptable dining experience. What was especially disappointing was that there didn't seem to be any real attempt to correct the problem once I explained that my meal was inedible. I left hungry and disappointed and probably won't eat French toast again for the rest of my life!
