For the Bill's Original I feel they definitely could've put more toppings considering the amount of potato you get but it was delicious nonetheless The Meat Baller was my favorite.

"Every dish is bursting with flavor and texture, making it hard for me to pick just one! But I've come to realize that no matter what I choose, it’s always a great decision. Salads are always fresh. Salmon is always cooked to perfection. Pork belly is always tender with exquisite burnt ends. Sushi Rolls do not fall apart. Coffee is never bitter. Biscuits are never dry, and yes, they make a solid southern white gravy as well as hollandaise. Today, we chose to try the Kimchi Fries for lunch, and I must admit, we were pleasantly surprised. I didn't anticipate that the kimchi would be roasted, but it truly enhanced the flavors in a way that was delightful. The roasting brings out a depth of flavor that’s not as noticeable otherwise. Combined with the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, the crispy fries transformed into a whole new level of comfort food. Highly recommend! "
"At least the bacon was really good. Eggs ordered over easy were over hard, almost fried. Left out the blueberry muffins. There were literally 12 little square potatoes. Called to get a refund with no success. The girl on the phone was very nice, just didn'tknow what to do abou it."
