where can I get a good burger?

and they saw "Pulp Fiction"

Look at the big brain on Captain Hawkeye!

Yikes. The Roundup has a cheeseburger-and-fries platter that is a total ripoff! Small and plain and nowhere near worth the ten dollars I paid. Serves me right for not listening to the experts in this thread and grabbing the closest nearby place :(

Yeah. We waited in a 30-ish minute line a few years back for a couple of the worst burgers ever created. And, of course, the meal cost damn near $20. Never again. Well, at least not until the park convinces me they give a damn. Which is not likely.

For $10 you could have gotten a burger and fries at Fridays.

For $13 you could have gotten as many cheeseburgers as you can eat. Plus drink. Plus fried chicken. Plus pizza. Plus desert. Plus....

.... a nasty taste in your mouth.

I don't really remember the buffet much, but from going to famous dave's, I'll take their sampler (basically a mini-buffet) over just about anything...ribs (actually good), 6-8 wings, curly fries, chicken fingers, fish (real fish) sticks. And usually it's enough for both me and my wife, if not, we'll just drop another $5 for another side of something.

I came away from Famous Dave's unimpressed. It wasn't bad by any means, but perhaps my expectations were too high. Or maybe I just had bad luck.

We'll try it again though.

To be a complete newb, where is Friday's located? I guess the biggest reason I'll take Famous Dave's over "just about anything" is because if I'm by Blue Streak/Raptor, Famous Dave's is right there. It has had zero competition because it's the only place I know of within walking distance.

Fridays is located inside of hotel breakers, and there is also one at castaway bay as well.

When did you guys go? I know the one time I went closing weekend it was "meh" but that was because they were running out stock for the end of the season. Other times I've been there, its been good. Not great, but still better than anything in the park.

Gracias amigo. I'll have to try them out, I like Famous Dave's but I think the last 3 times we've gone we've went there.

I'm not sure. I want to say it was last season, perhaps during HW, but certainly not closing weekend.

Yea...It's been hit or miss for me as well. But even the "miss" is better than anything they sell inside the park.

I do find the quality of the famous Daves out by my house, to be slightly better than the one at cp. Of course they are not nearly as buisy as the cp famous Daves eather.

I want to say that the sampler platter, 2 pops, a kids meal, and a kids pop was around $24. I couldn't imagine what a side of ribs, wings, catfish sticks, curly fries, chicken fingers, kids meal, and 3 pops would cost inside CP...my serious guess would be, $65?

Anyone been to the perkins at breakers yet?

Just wondering how the food is there.

If it's anything like other Perkins, it's laughably overpriced. Combine that with the fact that it's on the peninsula, and, well...

We ate at the Perkins on the 26th. First we were going to Fridays but there was a half hour wait but it seemed like longer because there was a lot of people waiting. We ended up at Perkins, which was pretty dead. There were only about 4 families.

The menu was pretty bad. Nearly half the menu was for Senior Citizens. On the normal menu, most of the food seemed like it wouldn't be to good on a 90 degree day. Egg sandwiches or Salsbury Steak didn't sound too good for the park ;) I ended up asking if I could order grilled cheese off the Senior Menu. Hahah it wasn't bad but it was not good either. Just okay, and that's what a lot of people have said about it.

Perkins wasn't that great. I went there Memorial Day Weekend and there were many families with loud children there at 1030 AM. Food wasn't that great. The Perkins close to me was much better.

For anyone who visits Dorney Park they have a pretty awesome Perkins 1 mile down the road what has Elmo + Cookie Monster greeting people every Tuesday night. It is nice to go to when visiting Allentown.
