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
