We were running around looking at venues this past Saturday and realized it was time for lunch! I suggested Hopdoddy and my fiance immediately said yes, let's go. We decided to go check out the new one in Addison since it's close to the next venue visit.

Price: $$
It's in the same shopping center as the new Whole Foods on Beltline and Montfort but those familiar with that area, also knows that's a pretty freaking huge shopping center. I hadn't been since all the new shops went in so I didn't exactly know where it was. It was a beautiful day so we just parked and started walking around. We walked all the way to Whole Foods and realized it wasn't there so I called the place. She told me they were on the complete opposite end of Whole Foods, by the AMC theater. I had no idea where the theater is either haha. But we just started walking to the other side.
Finally we found it! And there was a line... not really a surprise. But it was almost 2pm by then. The line wasn't too far out the door so we decided to wait. I wasn't hungry when we arrived but was close to starving when we got to the register. haha. It gave me plenty of time to decide what I wanted though. I couldn't decide between 3 options.
You order at the counter, but while in line, someone comes and assigns you a table number. We chose to sit outside cuz it was so nice! The Luther Lane location doesn't have any outdoor seating but the Addison one has lots! :) And then they bring your food to your table. And everyone's so friendly there! From the guy that's directing the line, to the girl at the register, and the guys that bring your food out to you.
I ended up with the Goodnight/Good Cause (Angus Beef, Tillamook Cheddar, Hickory BBQ Sauce, Caramelized Onions, Sliced Jalapenos & Sassy Sauce) $8.25~
My fiance already knew what he was going to get. It's his absolute favorite! Ahi Tuna Burger (Sushi-Grade Tuna, Sprouts, Teriyaki, Honey Wasabi, Nori Chips, Pickled Ginger, Mayo) $12.25~
They gave out samples of the Chocolate Stout milkshake to the people in line so we decided to get shakes as well.
He got the Chocolate Stout Shake $5.50~ (left) He's the target market when people give out samples cuz he will buy what he just tried. haha. And this is yummy.
Nutella & Chocolate Pretzel Shake $5.50~ (right) Me, on the other hand, I try a sample of something and then I wanna get something else, so I can try another flavor. hehe. This is my favorite shake here. You got the salty sweet between the pretzel and chocolate. And NUTELLA!! Who doesn't like nutella? There's sooo much crushed pretzels in there, so much crunch. I love it. Use a spoon!! You get more stuff that way. And check out that glop of nutella on the side of my cup there... You know I scooped that up for my first bite! :P
One of my absolute favorite burger places in Dallas. I'm happy they have multiple locations now! Bring one to Rockwall please!! There's always a line, but it moves fairly fast and trust me, it's worth the wait.

Some of the sides include: kimchi, spicy cucumber, spinach, bean sprouts, spicy squid, cuttlefish, pickled daikon (radish), glass noodles (jap chae)...
We ordered this to start. The size was pretty big and the flavor was like most other places. I wish it would've been a little more crisp on the outside though, it was a little too soft and doughy for me.
The size of the soup was larger than most other places I've been to. The flavor was very good...lots of tofu, egg, and seafood. YUM. :)
This had good flavor, the meat was tender...had enough fat on it to make it extra tasty. The only thing was that it wasn't spicy at all. I love spicy, but it had enough flavor for me not to care.
The squid had nice texture...was cooked really well...not too chewy. Also not spicy but had good flavor as well. 
We ordered this later, and I didn't get a chance to see the price on the menu. The chicken was very tender and was slightly sweet because it's Teriyaki.
A friend of mine ordered this. The pork cutlet wasn't fried in the normal way...the breading looked different. It was ok, I thought the pork could've been more tender, but the different breading made it feel less greasy. It was ok, but I would stick to the traditional Korean BBQ dishes.
This is an awesome deal for the price. There's lots of food and everything was good. I liked how the Teriyaki Chicken had a mixture of meat and veggies, other places usually just pour some sauce on some chicken. The flavor was really good, not too sweet like teriyaki tends to be. The fried eggrolls were interesting, I've never had anything like it.
