I hadn't been here in a while so went back for that delicious double cheeseburger. The burger was, as always, excellent, but the sweet potato fries were soft and floppy. Pretty disgusting.

Went back a second time for that delicious double cheeseburger and this time ordered onion rings. Big mistake. Great Leap's onion rings are a crime against vegetation. The batter to onion ratio is ridiculously off. You can hardly taste the onion. Way too greasy. I wish someone at Great Leap would learn how to make fries and onion rings.

Last thing: I asked a waiter for a toothpick. He walked toward the window to grab them, but before picking them up, sneezed violently in his right hand. He grabbed the toothpicks with his right hand and carried them to our table, dumping some out into his left hand. I just stared at him. He said, "It's ok. I sneezed in this hand, not this hand"

Actually, it's not ok, dude.

I'd come here more often if place was less noisy, the side dishes made with more care, the staff less clueless, and the beers more delicious. It's good a place and all, but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer Katchup's burgers/sides/staff and Arrow Factory's IPA.

Someone told me the original owners have relocated to Taiwan and only spend part of their time here now. If true, this could be one of the causes of the decline in quality/service. When the cat's away, the mice will play as they say
