All I know is that Skillet says they are coming to the Hill! That's all we really need!

I didn't love the burger either but everything else I've had there has been amazing. The pork tenderloin left me speechless with my eyes rolled back in my head. I know it's not "cheap" per se, but it's incredibly inexpensive for the quality of food they serve.

stopped by a couple weeks after they opened. the fish part of the fish and chips was one soggy cube. didn't have most condiments. my medium rare burger was burnt to a crisp. server never came back after dumping the food on us. I'll take McDonald's any day over that bullshit.

Just returned from dinner at Quinn's. My gal had the hanger steak, I had the burger. When the plates arrived we both mentioned that we should've ordered something with a bit more green on the plate. Ten seconds, that statement was irrelevant as we oo'd and ahh'd our way through pure bliss...damn, that burger is insanely flavorful. We'll be heading back from the smoked trout salad and wild boar joe.

Donte: yeah, the burger is 8 oz., I believe, which is a mouthful. You have to take a couple of deep breaths to work your way through it. And if it's the rarer side of medium rare, the center is gooey. Smoked trout salad, eh? I could be talked into that.

hmm, sounds like mcdonalds is much more your style, you should go there next time. they even have a value menu so you don't have to wait for your irs check.

ugh, the burger is awful. i'm sure it's part of the charm, but when i ordered the burger it was far too "meaty" for me, and i couldn't even finish it. the sloppy joe is definitely the way to go, but it needs to come with fries and not just be a sandwich on a plate (maybe they've changed that by now). if the smoked trout salad is still on the menu, that's also pretty great.

Seriously, MvB! I know prices of coffee have jumped up a bit, but $3! Honestly, there needs to be some collars dyeing themselves blue here!

I agree with Audrey. The wild boar sloppy joe is great! But I also agree the rest of the food on the menu is a little high-priced.

I've heard mediocre things about the burger too, but the wild boar sloppy joe is *the* way to go at Quinn's! It's on the small plates menu, but it's a full-size sandwich ($10, at least at dinner). Get it with a side of the cooked spinach and you're golden.

jessejb: BOKA's is also $12, so that price not unprecedented. It's high-end beef, and that's fine. I'm just saying that $18 is more than I'd want to end up paying for a service-free lunch. And $3 for a cup of brewed Vita coffee? Vita's next door. I'll just walk the ten steps next time. Charles: it's legal so long as you don't claim the fries are vegetarian.

I'm intrigued by the menu, but the high prices and hordes of yuppies in there totally turn me off. I noticed when I was walking by the other day that they had a posted a sign about offering lunch soon, and I thought...hmmm...might be a good way to try it when it's not mobbed with douchebags...but if I pay almost $20 for a lunch, I expect full table service. Yikes.

Fries in beef fat? Is that even legal anymore?

$12 for Wagyu beef? Thats dirt cheap...
