Diarrhea

I have boycotted fast food out of my life over several years due to poor quality and service, and the risk of the . Sure enough, I dared to try Sonic today, ordered standard double delux with bacon, tots, and strawberry limeade. Soon as I got home Fast food industry needs to do better. Gonna kill people.

Apart from service being slow it's still one of my favorite fast food spots, all the drinks were delicious and it's hilariously surprising how a fast food mystery meat burger is still better than lots of restaraunts.

Not only that, but they have great fries! I always get the loaded fries which come with their caramelized onions and cheese sauce. Cue the droolingggg. It's hit or miss if there is going to be a long line but somehow my wife and I have always gotten lucky to get there juuust before everyone else. Service is always very friendly and efficient. As for ambiance, they can't really account for that since they are a food truck but Common Dialect has plenty of seating if you want to stay, have a beer, and eat your food. Now, I cannot wait to try their tacos! Fingers crossed they make it to Tampa sometime soon!

My husband and I stopped by The Habit Burger & Grill last night while we were in the St. Pete area,…read moreand it was such a great experience! We're originally from California and moved to Florida a little over a year ago, and ever since then we've definitely been craving The Habit. We were so excited to stumble upon this location! One of the first things we noticed was that it wasn't busy at all -- which honestly shocked us (in the best way). Back in California, every Habit location always seemed packed at all hours of the day, so this felt like a treat. I ordered the Teriyaki Char with crispy green beans, and my husband got the Double Char meal with fries. Somehow, the food tasted even better than what we remember from California! My burger was cooked to a perfect medium -- which is rare to find at a fast-casual spot -- and it made such a difference. Everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the manager, Danielle, who was incredibly friendly -- and funny enough, she's originally from California too! Small world! Every employee we encountered was welcoming, kind, and made sure to greet us when we arrived and wish us a good night when we left. The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, which we really appreciated. Overall, such a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in the Clearwater area!

I had high hopes, but it was way below the hype for me…read more The service was okay, although I came when it was empty (11:30am) and it still took quite a while to get my food. I'm not really sure why. I ordered the single charburger with cheese, fries and a Pepsi. Sadly, the burger was nothing special. No better to me than Whataburger or Burger King. For a flame grilled burger, Seminole Gyros and Subs is far superior for the same price. Culver's is better as well, for the same price, although it's not flame grilled. I'm afraid this is my first and last visit here.

**** Review 169 ****…read more This is your local "burger" bar, cold beers and delicious bar food. Small restaurant, but plenty of tables to sit at, even with a large party. Long bar and super friendly staff. Tuesdays are the best time to try their $2 burgers, all you need to buy is a drink. Juicy, well seasoned, and they come with lettuce and tomato, all other toppings are extra. Wings are very saucy and really nice flavor. They do have other specials during the week. So if you're looking for a local joint with good burgers, cold beers and reasonable prices, then look no further!

Date of Visit: April 4, 2026…read more I had caught this review about this place on-line and because of it's local, I just had to try it. From where I was I headed north up 58th St. from Central with the top down. It was one of those days. I don't usually take 58th that far, it's more like till 5th or 9th. Not all the way to 54th, it was nice drive. It wasn't long and I was in the parking area of the plaza. Never been here before but from the outside it looked like my kinda place. As I walked in I could see the wall of taps with many, many choices. Also it was only me and another, then it hit me, being spring break and all everybody is at the beach. Oh well, I sat and ordered a beer, a Pacifico to be exact. When I'm out somewhere new I like to drink something new or different from my usual. As I sipped my beer I looked over the burger menu. They have several options but I always go with a standard, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. Cooked medium. I also ordered something different as well. I had onion rings with my burger. My wife always gets rings and I fries. The food arrived and the first thing I noticed was the onion rings. These had to be made fresh cause they didn't look frozen. And the burger was dressed nice too. Although I am smash-burger fan I don't discriminate others. This wasn't a smash but it wasn't overly fat either. When I bit in to one of the rings, Wow. I could bite thru the ring and not pull the onion out. Great rings. Now the burgers turn. It was cooked medium just as I requested, just a hint of pink and juicy. And with the toppings cut Julian, I got some with every bite. I will be back...If you haven't already, stop in and give it a try. Peace.

We stopped by because it was recommended to us by more than one friend. We got burgers and hotdogs, both were excellent. The burgers have a real flame broiled aroma and flavor that make it a winner. A single is plenty for me, but I did notice some of the big guys ordered a double. They fix it " your way", so cheese , lettuce, pickles , condiments in any combination is not a problem. The hot dogs are excellent, too. Get it Chicago style for the full treatment! The restaurant is 50's decor, with a nod to Chicago. It is friendly , clean and bright with plenty of seating. They do a big carry out business, so there can be a line at the counter where you order.

My only complaint about the food was the buns were a bit flimsy and couldn't handle the meat and condiments well. Reasonable prices and cute ambiance although there are a few finishing touches that could make it even better. In particular a couple of booths only had one side to them and there was no chair on the other side. The cashier was very friendly and patient as we navigated the menu. It must be a hidden gem because it was busy the entire time we were there on a Wednesday evening!

I don't eat burgers often, although I love them, so when I do it's gotta be good…read more We went to Engine No 9 for the 4th of July, and it was outstanding! We arrived at 5:30 and it was packed, but a table opened for us within two minutes. The ambiance was awesome, with each table having its own miniTV! Guests didn't have to choose between watching Wimbledon or the World Cup (or anything else they chose). Such a clever idea and probably great for entertaining kids, too. The server was prompt and friendly, and we got our drinks and app ordered immediately. We split the corn dog as an appetizer (felt right for 4th of July), and my husband declared it was one of the best he ever had. A great ratio of the sweet fried dough and salty hot dog. Definitely a reasonable portion to split as an appetizer and still have room for an entree. We got the tomato and corn salad as a side, which was a nice palate cleanser. I got the bacon cheeseburger (sub a pretzel bun, which you can absolutely do) and my husband got the Van Helsing. Both were excellent. He got regular fries and I got sweet potato fries and a side salad, also fantastic. My meal was exactly what I wanted - a classically delicious cheeseburger (I removed the bacon and put it on my side salad, which I highly recommend). My husband's had perfectly cooked garlic cloves and a nice zest with the jalapeños. They also had a great tap list to go wash everything down! We left stuffed but not feeling like we were going to die. It was a wonderful experience for start to finish and we'll be back!

I ordered the One Bad Pig with a side of sweet potato fries and of course had to get an extra side of tator tots because I love them. The burger was very good and juice, hard to eat because it's so big, but I managed to do it. The tots were crispy just like I like them and the fries were your typical sweet potato fries but very good. The service was attentive and good and it seemed to be a local crowd and was a nice vibe. It is off the beaten path so not too touristy but the locals know about it so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for a burger if you are wanting one!!

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.
