Went there today on the advice of Weirdie.

EXCELLENT!

I had:

CLASSIC JACKALOPE $5.95
A fresh herbed Jackalope patty covered with crispy romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard and ketchup.

And added pasta salad for an extra $1.00

My partner had:

SPICY BLACK BEAN VEGETARIAN $5.95
A spicy black bean, red pepper and white onion patty, topped with romaine lettuce, aioli mayo and a tasty slice of avocado.

She loved it too.

I went here for lunch yesterday and it was fantastic! Friendly service, tasty, cheap food, cute location. I'll be going back again for sure.

Seriously awesome, right? My co-worked went for dinner after I told her about it and she's now in love with the bean burger as well.

I was there last night & had the same items. Very tasty indeed, and the proprieter made my friend and I feel truly welcome. I will defintely be back. I hope this place can stay in business long enough to benefit from the enlargement of Odeon Alley when the (former) Mozart project goes ahead.

Had a chance to check this place out. Fantastic food at a decent price, and the server was very pleasant.

In fact at the same time I was at Jackalope the owner of Pig Barbeque popped in to order their barbeque sandwich/burger and their fries. Checking out the competition

Ooo this sounds good! I'm going to check it out for lunch! I've been looking for something to fill the void left by pig's over-success.

But still, you can't beat Pig's ~$5 pulled pork sandwich, still the best pulled pork in the CRD IMO.

I'd love to still go to pig, but every time I walk by there's a line out the door and nowhere to sit.

Just got back from Jackalope, very big very home-made style burgers at a reasonable price. The only bad thing I could possibly say was that there was a bit of a wait for the burgers (about 25 min). With a slight boost in their cooking speed and some improved decor (both things I'm sure will happen as time goes on) I could see this place being pretty successful, I'll certainly go again!

25 mins? Wow. My wait was about 10 mins when I stopped by.

They might have that age-old problem, if they could just have one more person from 11:45-12:45 (that would then double their kitchen staff), they could handle a bit of a push. Man, if I worked right by and had a flexible schedule, I'd come down from my office tower and help for an hour each day.

Last time I was there, the prices were up across the board, the sandwiches being at $6.50.

Guess I wasn't the only one that noticed the long cook times. When I was there it took about 20 mins for 2 burgers to come out. In fact, 2 other people ordered after us and received their food before we did.

I think with the thickness of those burgers, you don't want to wait less than 10 minutes to cook thru. They don't take them out of a drawer like Mcdonalds (not that I don't LOVE McDonalds).

^ The Pig raised all their prices when they opened in their new location so this has been in place for a long time.

You mean I've been paying $6.50 the whole time, and not realizing it? Whoa. :confused:

You should demand they install a giant sign outside indicating the price, and change it daily in relation to other eateries' prices. Then when it's the same as Foo you can call it collusion.

Unlike a gas station, they are not offering the same product. What reason would they have to post exactly the same prices?
