I have waited to write this review until I could have the opportunity to give Graffiti's a second (third, fourth & fifth) chance. You know, that one restaurant that is just oh so close to home and the menu looks absolutely amazing, you really really want that place to be good and deliver whatever it is that you enjoy about a local burger joint. Well, I am sad to report that Graffiti's has let me down for the last time. I did, I truly gave them the benefit of the doubt. I wanted to like this place so bad, it just isn't going to work out between us any longer.
Graffiti's is a burger & more (as the name states) place located in a strip mall in between the Food Lion and the ABC Packaging store (Can someone please explain the whole Packaging Store thing to me as I am not from the South) that I am scared to go into. When you first walk in, you don't know if you are in a 50's wannabe dinner or what. The one really cool thing and maybe the only positive about this place is the cool chalk board they have for the kids to play with (Did you know that 6 + 7 = 14) while the parents do, well parent stuff.
On this particular visit it was just the kids (all three) and myself. They each got some mini corn dogs with what I consider to be the "Worlds" most disgusting french fries on the face of the earth. As you can see, I went with the O'Rings for some ridiculous amount extra for the portion that I received for this very reason. The fries are apparently fresh cut (soggy) potatoes then they die them red and green? Not very appetizing as they taste like ground-up dog food. The rings were purchased just hours ago next door at Food Lion and slapped in the fryer for about 5 minutes to short and the burger, well, I think they left half of it on the grill and picked what portion they served me out from the bottom of the grease catch can under the grill that hasn't been cleaned since the day the place opened. Enough about the food, it just plain, old-fashioned, SUCKS big time. And it wasn't just this visit, it has been each and everyone of them. I can hear it now, "But they have the best Philly in town!" If that Philly is the best Philly you have ever eaten, then I am sorry for you and your deprived taste buds.
Bottom line, the food is sub par and is priced about twice as much as it really is worth. The service is really spotty, some days they have more people walking out the door than they do eating cause no one in line can place an order as they only have one person doing everything; taking orders, robbing the peoples wallets and cooking. Then on another occasion, the service is wonderful, but the food still sucks. If I am going to pay $10 for a 1/4 Lb burnt burger chip smothered in bad chili with some old nacho cheese sauce that has been heated up and chilled about twenty times, I'm better off eating that $10 dollar bill instead.
