Food market is just wildly expensive for what you get, which is why it’s mediocre. They’ve got some okay items on their menu, but nothing I tried was ever better than mediocre. Overcooked steaks and burgers. Tiny portioned apps. Everything wildly under seasoned.

I don't eat steaks or burgers so I can't really say anything to that, but I've had some good food their and didn't find the prices to be that bad.

But if you're just used to fast food I could see it being something of a shock. Your dollar will go a lot further at a McDonalds.

Oh, no. I haven’t eaten fast food in probably 15 years (except chipotle, but obviously not in hampden cause that one is awful).

I’m comparing it to other restaurants: foraged, la Cuchara, Thames st oyster house, tapas teatro, alma cocina, etc.

Yeah, it's not one of the best restaurants in the city. But it's not "mediocre" that's a bit absurd.

Why would you go there for steak and burgers? I go there to try their unique take on classic American dishes.

You should stick to the fast casual chains.

I tried their burger on someone’s recommendation after complaining that all their other food was crap.

And I got a steak because I think I just wanted steak
