The menu was fabulous! Lots of great burgers, appetizers and salads! The rings of fire were amazing! Burgers were prepared perfectly and the ingredients were fresh! Definitely a place to try out! The service when we went was very mediocre... the girl we got wasn't very interested in providing an excellent experience. Their sauces were also very tasty! Mustard was... More

The menu has a long variety of burgers and sandwiches that you may join with fried potatoes, but to enjoy the whole experience better to add the crusty and a lil sweet onion rings... you have to try it! The first time I did I couldn't believe how taste and well made these burgers are.. Don't waste your money in... More

We were waiting in line for a show in the area and the restaurant was recommended by a local resident. Turned out to be a great choice. We dined after the show, around 10:00. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the food was fantastic. The burger choices are excellent. Great wine list. Would definitely visit the restaurant again when in... More

we ordered 3 different burgers (they have quite creative burgers I have to say :) ) - all were tender and juicy! Mine lamb burger was simply delicious. My son finished his burger and fries which might prove the point it was outstanding because usually we bring half of the food home, he couldn't stop :) And cajun and sweet... More

Definitely worth the wait, We went on a Friday night ...not a good idea! Too crowded, the bar was packed and very noisy.We waited about 25 minutes. I would go back during the week and try it again . The burger was very good and I liked the choice of Fries OR salad. The menu is plentiful and the prices... More

I go here a lot. I cannot go anywhere else (well, I do, but I regret it) for a great burger and many fabulous beers. Their Happy Hour specials are unbeatable: 1/2 off drafts for all their 16 on-tap craft beers. Ummm, OK! And to pair that with an amazing burger, served on a pretzel roll, with their kale as... More

Wanted to sit at a high top in the bar. She kept passing over us because we were two. This is new. In the past you were seated in order. Our 20 min wait turned into 1 1/2 hours. So while your waiting you will watch people walk in, sit down, and eat. Just not worth it!!!!

Very nice place. Eat at a booth or at the bar. Burgers are very good with lots of choices. Love the mushroom burger. Super selection of beers, all kinds on a chalkboard which also lists their alcohol content, pretty cool. We sat n a booth this time and the service was excellent, all our orders came out together and they... More

This restaurant has the best burgers in town! You can build your own burger which is a great feature. It is family friendly and very affordable.
