Supporters were taken aback by the cost of meals.
The highest-priced item on the menu, a Philly cheesesteak, is priced at $13.95 (£10.33), while a bag of chips costs $3.49 (£2.58).
A single Corona is available for $11.95 (£8.85) – even though a four-pack goes for just £6 at Sainsbury’s.
Even a bottle of water will cost you $4.95 (£3.66), but what truly upset fans was the $1.95 (£1.44) price tag for a banana.
One fan exclaimed: “$1.95 for a banana??? I’m not paying that!”
Another said: “$1.95 for a banana is simply outrageous.”
Yet another quipped: “$2 for a banana is absurd. I can buy a bunch for under $2!!! I’m really upset.”
Someone else pointed out: “$5 for water…”

Additionally, full-time dentist Matt Vogt is eager to make his mark in Pennsylvania.
Vogt, who operates his dental practice in Indianapolis, is ranked 1,173rd in the World Amateur Rankings but has qualified for a major for the first time.
He is hopeful to advance his golf career while expanding his dental practice, commenting: “I’ve received numerous inquiries.
“I have a fantastic team, and my friends are helping me manage those messages and inquiries, saying, ‘Hey, forward those to Chris, my buddy, and focus on patients because that’s our priority in McCordsville, Indiana.’
“It’s been a fulfilling experience, with many patients and fellow dentists reaching out. I feel so supported this week – Oakmont, Pittsburgh, dentistry – it’s been wonderful.
“Honestly, while that’s not the main focus, we aim to deliver outstanding care; if that attracts more great patients who need our assistance, that’s exceptional.
“It might even give us interesting stories to discuss at the office.”
