Don't Sleep on the Meteor Cafe

At some point in your life you become a brunch category person. It's mostly about age, and you can't do anything about it. I consider myself a rocker/alternative guy so thinking of myself as a brunch person is depressing. However, I take solace in creating the mental excuse that it's really just eating lunch early so that you can eat dinner early and go to bed early so it's ok. And while the Meteor Cafe in Fayetteville isn't exclusively a brunch place, I tend to go there at about 10:30am so I'm calling it a brunch place. 

So the burger is great and it comes with their OMG Fries which have a heavy dusting of harissa powder on em. I don't mind the harissa but it becomes a bit much about halfway through. It's not spicy heat really, it's just a really overpowering taste. Their ketchup and ranch for dipping is a must.

The second time I went I asked them to make my fries without the harissa and I liked them better. Also don't order two orders cause it's a lot.


Meteor Cafe is a fancier joint than I usually frequent, but it's totally worth it.

DO IT.
