When I visited during the World Cup, I wanted to grab a burger and watch one of the games, so I went to a local burger place in town. The burger ALONE was $20. No fries, no Coke. Fries were another $5, and I swear they tasted like frozen Walmart fries 😭 Then another $5 for a Coke. So basically $30 before tax and tip for a burger, fries, and a drink.
And this wasn’t even really full-service dining. You ordered, picked up your food yourself from the counter and pour your drink yourself from a coke machine thingy, and pretty much served yourself. They did have the game on, but it was on mute and they couldn’t turn the sound up :(
The next time, I went to Chili’s instead and got their 3 for Me. Burger AND fries, a Coke, plus chips and salsa or soup, all for $10.99 before tax and tip!!! And at Chili’s I actually had a waiter taking my order, bringing everything to the table, refilling my drink, etc. AND I could sit there and watch the game.
Mind you, this was in a WORLD CUP HOST CITY 😭 I was like nahhhh, I’m just coming to Chili’s from now on
