Annie's Crape

by scorpiosteele

I've eaten here four times. The first time was great--eggs benedict with tasty hollandaise. The second time was a bad hamburger. The third time was good--more eggs benedict. The fourth time was $4 for Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate powder+water (the waitress said so). I got one of the cheapest things on the menu--three Sloppy Joe sliders for $4.95 that were just as good as the ones I ate in the elementary school cafeteria--I knew the food wouldn't be good enough to waste $13 for an entree that really doesn't even come with worthwhile vegetables. The service is lackluster and half-hearted. As the friend of mine pointed out, Annie's doesn't even give you a side of mayonnaise in little cup, just a plastic packet. So why was I there if I'd had not so good experiences before? Because my friend wanted soup, which, she said, could have used more chicken in it. Well, Annie's at least knows how to make eggs benedict. But I'd already eaten my eggs for the day. But I won't be back.

• Pros: Decor and ambience
• Cons: Overpriced fast food

Frozen packaged processed salt laden food, YUCK

by DenverDude1234

TERRIBLE!!! Go directly to your cheap frozen TV dinner section of your cheapest grocery store and there you have the disgusting quality of dining experience at Annie's this evening. I am so angry at the moment with the poor, poor processed packaged frozen food and the stupid high price for this junk. I have been going since 1979, but never ever again. All things need to come to an end and Annie's era is done!!

Hey Citysearch: Annie's has moved! Change the address!

by writeon1

Annie's moved from 8th Ave. in June 2008 to Colfax and St. Paul...In so doing, something got lost in translation. I used to LOVE the vibe at the old location and the food was always reliably tasty, especially the thick milkshakes. It was like an old-fashioned soda fountain/diner. Since the move, we've visited a couple times and it's just a totally different place. It's weird to have a dark bar in the back and it looks pretty much just like Goodfriends did, so they really haven't made it their own. Secondly, service is a lot slower now. And on our last visit, our waiter never checked in on us...My buffalo burger (ordered medium) was basically charred, well-done. That's not something you ever want to do to buffalo meat. I don't know if the milkshakes survived the move in tact, but I'm about out of patience with hoping Annie's will return to normalcy. Let's hope so!

• Pros: Thick milkshakes?
• Cons: New location, parking, slow, inaccurate service, charred meat
