- $11.00Nothing special or worth $11.00
- 40 bucksVery disappointing for 40 bucks.

Delicious Shakes and Fire Fish & Chips!
I stopped in for a bite to eat after visiting the smoke shop next door, and I was absolutely not disappointed. The milkshakes here are some of the best I've had in the entire Seattle area. I also ordered the fish and chips, and it was absolutely fire.
My food was served in under 5 minutes, making it a delicious, fast, and worth the money experience. I'd much rather eat here than at Dick's burgers.

Mixed Experience at Herfy's
I visited this Herfy's location next to Wells Fargo around lunchtime. Unlike the Herfy's near IKEA in Renton, this one didn't sit well with my stomach. I ordered my usual: the club sandwich with curly fries and a small side of zucchini.
On the positive side, none of it tasted greasy. However, after finishing my meal, I felt a significant discomfort, and it seemed like the food might not stay down. My stomach was quite unsettled.
The counter clerk was great, with a lot of energy and a positive attitude. I did notice that the place could use a bit of a cleaning; while it didn't look bad inside, I found a couple of sticky surfaces on my way out. I also saw the health inspection sign in the window, which I believe said "OK, " indicating a 2/4 rating from the health board.
This last point is on me, but it's worth noting.

Disappointing Salad, Overcooked Meat
My experience at the restaurant was just okay. The salad was mediocre, and the meat was way overcooked and tough. It was nothing special and certainly not worth $11.
