It is a bit wordy and informal, but it explains everything.
Introduction:
Judging by its name, bet you are unable to guess what is it trying to sell. Definitely the name is getting some attention. Basically "Botak Jones" is a American boss that sets up the western food outlets at neighbourhood coffeeshops. Botak Jones sells ang mo style western food, at a more affordable price. They have, hot dogs, burgers, "plates", steaks, sandwiches and even desserts! As it's slogan suggests: "Damm Good Food At A Damm Good Price". To me, i raise my both hands for it. It aint really that dirt cheap, its a good range slightly higher than the coffeeshops, much lower than cafes and restaurants. And it provides quality of cafe and probably, restaurants!
Operating Hours:
Everyday 11:00 am till 10:00 pm (For this outlet)
What's Good:
Friendly crew and they explains well. Don't worry if you have doubts about the menu.
Everything that i have tried (Each main dish is served with choice of 2 side dishes, except for fish and chips):
The chips(fries) are good - it has a really special slighty spicy powder on them and the texture of the chips are not overdone.
Fish and chips - no funny smell or taste that spoils the dish. Basically 1 word - Fresh!
Cajun chicken- looks a bit messy with the presentation, but the sauce and the juiciness cant be explained
Black pepper chicken - Not a lot of sauce on the chicken but it is well marinated that the black pepper and the chicken has become one.
What's not so Good:
The menu. Too wordy and no pictures. Its is filled with paragraphs of descriptions. But i think they have it on the website and some photos too. And not to worry since everything is good.
The slightly long waiting and serving time. It is due to its popularity, not because they are slow. But it is worth waiting for for good food, isn't it?
Note: fish and chips + cajun chicken + black pepper chicken = approx $22
