Some people track it in their phones, just for themselves...But there is nowhere in the app which tracks your meal usage or even tracks the time of your last meal in the park. If you’re ever not sure if it’s been 4 hours solve your last meal, ask the food cash register attendants and scan your pass and tell you when it was last used for a meal (and when it will be available to use for your second meal)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As of July 4, the loaded pulled pork fries were listed on the menu board with the dining plan symbol, and I was able to order them. I'm not the biggest fan of cheese sauce, but they were good! The pulled pork is very similar to what's at Coney Barbecue, and RPW fries go along great. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Isn't that just how marketing is for everything? People, food, cars... everything is rendered to look as flawless as possible. Reality can never quite match up to that, but should that be the point? If we're comparing a fast food burger commercial to one that clearly looks like the kitchen used it as a punching bag, I see the annoyance, but I don't expect every single burger to look exactly like the commercial. Just good enough, so long as it tastes good. Those fries look good to me (hold the "cheese" sauce, though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Cedar Fair food, they aren't bad. I wasn't able to identify what was in the seasoning, although I'm speculating it's something similar to (though less flavorful than) seasoning salt and/or old bay seasoning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanks on the other hand is more or less a bland Chipotle when they are not offering a mac and cheese bar.

Easy to miss considering the Spicy and Regular BBQ are almost the same color on the sticker. Because of the COVID they are giving the sauces in cups. Just ask for it at the end of the food line.

Your review inspired me to make Hanks my dinner tonight and get my “once a season shot”. Got a steak burrito. Tortilla was cold. Rice wasn’t fully cooked (some pieces were hard)Steak was flavorfulGuacamole was included and was good. If I returned I’d probably just get those two items in a bowl. It wouldn’t be as filling, but it would be tasty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback230 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 First year with the meal plan as the last year that I didn't work there was 2011. So far fantastic experiences. I've only done Panda twice and Potato Works twice, and Brew house once. The buffalo chicken fries at Potato Works may be the best dish I've ever had at the park, (Of course not including some fantastic cuisine at the Cornerstone Cafe). Panda is fine. I also had the Pub Burger at Brew house which was a decent burger. Also not on the meal plan, but the Giga-Dog (footlong) was great at meteor canteen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if Chipotle were a 10, Hank’s would be a 4-6. I haven’t had the specific issues that you named, but it just seems like the sum of all parts is kind of boring. Sometimes I feel it and eat it - I did today. It’s not gross or anything, it’s just nothing to write home about. That place is a good candidate for rejuvenation in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 ^Taco Tequila is very good food! It's like a cheaper (and better) version of The Local Taco in Lexington. I also enjoy the converted picnic pavilion food. I think it is called the beir garden? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
