If you're looking for amazing food that's reasonably priced, this would NOT be the place for you. To use a quick Oregon Trail metaphor, if your party is about to die of starvation...you'd be better off dying...

I have this weird thing about not eating in dirty places. I guess the excuse for not cleaning is because they're open 24/7. If you have to go, order a Diet Coke - in a to-go cup.

For some reason, the Frontier made the cheap eats list. But see, it's a rip-off. The food is pretty crappy, and it's expensive for what you get. I think the reason people think it's cheap is that they're...

The Frontier is certainly popular, but any restaurant that charges for coffee refills has got to fall outside my top ten for anything.
