Was in Chimmichurri last night and I think that was the last time I will go to a restaurant right after they open.
Good food, stupidly long wait times.  Very disorganized.

I had the same experience.  Really long wait.  They told me that its because they are serving everything really fresh and made to order sop while I am sure they will get faster as they go they might never be a quick restaurant.  I am not a big fan of chicken and still have to say that it was pretty good.  My wife and friends all love the food.  I would suggest that in the future call in your order ahead of time.

Yes, but you need to make an appointment.

I've had them at a couple events I've gone to. Solid.
He does events, driving all his BBQ, smokers etc...to the location. Kind of like Wandering Que, just don't know how far out he goes.

Went to Mikes once. Never been to ABC  in city. This is sit down waiter service. Had mug of cauliflower soup, breakfast burger, BBQ pulled beef sandwich, French fries peanut butter mousse, laurel sweet tea and mint lemonade. Only complaint was maybe the burger was a drop over done. But still yum. Mikes is more fast food. Wait for order and then sit down. Also good.

 ???

Maybe you had a fun crowd around but either way, 40min at a burger place seems waaaay too long.

Carlos and Gabbys is getting worse and worse

Holy Shnitzel is the best fast food in the 5 towns in my opinion.

Traditions is the best delicatessen in the 5 towns.

Agree with all of the above, almost a year later.  I recently ordered a Main & Melbourne and a Cedarhurst to pickup. The lady on the phone said your order will be $28 dollars and change. I was so taken aback that's with nothing else on the order! I said forget it...Went to holy shnitzel got 2 sandwiches, was 20 and change...

I know C&G in Queens recently raised their prices I guess it hit the 5 towns as well

In the city, both times I was there, they didn't allow me to request my burger cooked medium.  Apparently they only do it well done.  That reason alone turned me off from the place.

Good food, stupidly long wait times.  Very disorganized.
I had a very different experience. I was there for the first time Sunday night around 6:30 and the place was packed. There were 8-10 people ahead of me on line but I got to the front and ordered within 5 minutes. I went out to my car to wait for my food, cane back in less than 10 minutes later, and it was already waiting on the counter for me.

And the food... my god. I don't think I've ever been so impressed with food from a fast food style place. I had the charcoal chicken, the steak fries, and the portugese rice bowl, and everything was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and incredibly unique. After one experience I couldn't recommend more.
