This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I would never go because Elon is associated with it, but otherwise it's kind of unremarkable. I've seen big chain restaurants with similar prices in the area. My biggest gripe is is that kid's burger is the same price as the adult burger.
The kids grilled cheese (which is literally just bread and American cheese) is also $13
Obviously the "just price everything at what we think people will pay" strategy.
Thats literally what every business everywhere does. It is basic economics. Prices are determined not by the cost to produce, but by what people are willing to pay.
I guess what I mean is that this place seems to be doing it at the aggregate level. Like someone decided that people going there would spend $13 for a meal, so everything is $13. Adult hamburger? $13. Kid's hamburger? $13. Grilled cheese? $13.
Most places would say that people aren't going to spend the same amount for a grilled cheese as for an adult burger, so they'd make the grilled cheese cheaper.
That's a fair point.
The adult grilled cheese is cheaper!
Same.
The prices seem reasonable albeit still a tad too expensive (my limit is 10€ for street food unless it's something special).
Oh, I'm with you. I just don't pay $13 for a burger. Just because they're unremarkable doesn't mean they aren't dumb.
The one good thing was the tallow fried french fries. Back in the 70s Mc Donald's fried theirs in beef tallow and they were magical. What the heck is a "Snap O Razzo" hot dog? Nothing really interesting here. I'd rather go to an In and Out burger.
