Anybody try their burgers? It's right next to the Wolfhound. Went there on Sunday, it was a pretty good burger for 8,000. You have to buy fries separately for 4,000 won, but if you go with another person, it's plenty for 2 people.

Is there a reason why places are charging 4,000 for french fries??? How do they get away with it.

What are their fries like? Thick-cut with the skin on or McDonalds style?

They were thick, more like wedges. They were OK. The burger is the highlight, not the fries.

Heroine addicts? Westerners are addicted to Joan of Arc and Boudicia?! An honest typo but one that made my day. You make a fair point though.
