They need to figure out how to provide better value if they want to be a sports bar with burgers and sandwiches.

I've never looked at their beer prices so I can't comment there but I don't find the pricing to be unreasonable at all. The most comparable place to them is the American on Main (their burgers also rock) and they cost about the same - burger and fries for about $18. Most burger and fries at White Spot (nowhere near as good) go for about $18 as well.

The American does provide a bigger portion for their fries and White Spot has unlimited fries but I'm an old man that can't finish what they serve anyways so portion size doesn't matter to me anymore - I just want good food regardless of serving size.
