Server was nice and restaurant was clean. Burger wasnt bad, a little expensive for what you get

Great spot, gives diner vibes! Can see your burger and fries being made at the bar. Fries are fresh cut, drinks hit the spot and Josiah is a great bartender! Had a great experience, would recommend!!

Enjoyed the 80s music playlistOur server was attentiveAppreciated they had Coca Cola Zero and diet cokeWe had the Oklahoma burger which if I had to describe is a full size White castle burger with mayo and on a potato rollThe onions could have used a little more caramelizing however the burger itself was not Light on meat.If I had to help set expectations it is like White Castle & Five Guys had a babyThe fries are shoe string style and very generously served. Didn’t care much for “the sauce” Im a Ketchup on my fries mind girl & I added ketchup to the burger as the OKlahoma doesn’t come with itIm happy I tried it as a sit in diner. Not sure the integrity of the fries would have held up to the drive home.Would eat there again likely trying the classic cheese and one of their Season 1 cocktails. There was a strawberry something or the other with Prosecco float that caught my attention after ordered soft drinks and were waiting for our foodAmple parking and. I e that theres a patio and picnic tables for larger groups. Our bill was ~$44 and we had identical meals. Likely we could have shared fries. Everything was priced a la carte … also wanted to try the ice cream with sprinkles but barely hot thru 1/3 of my burger.Next time on a warmer day

Came here on a Sunday night for dinner. No wait to get a table, and open seating too. Menu is simple, and the food was great. The bar sauce is so good. We tried all three burgers, and a kids grilled cheese, and they were all really good. Really wanted to try the cocktails, but Ohio blue laws struck, as they can’t serve hard alcohol on Sunday’s yet. Only complaint was that the fries are kind of a greasy blob, not nice and crispy individual fries. My wife likes the greasy blob fries, I don’t, so it wasn’t a waste.

Great local burger place! I've never had a smash burger this good. With all the inflation around us, the prices here are really affordable. Way better than any nearby fast food burger. This place stands out.

Burgers are tasty, albeit a bit heavy on the mayo. The edges are crispy and the meat is juicy. The fries were cold.Our server was very friendly and VERY busy.

Food was great, fries are fantastic. Soft serve was great, though the consistency is prone to ice cream headache so watch out! :)

First off, I really enjoyed the smash burgers. Both were excellent. French fries were good, and the beer menu was mid. Servers and staff were super friendly and very prompt. Prices were fair.This place could be so much more, though. I see nothing but potential, and I hope they continue to dial it in. I will return.

Excellent burgers, definitely the best compared to what’s in the area (five guys, McDonald’s etc)They sell beer and alcohol- great for adults.My 2 year old was happy, no tantrums, very child friendly.Seating is first come first serve. Pick a booth/table and waiter/waitress will come to you.

Do you like visiting "family friendly restaurants" (as advertised by them on social media) and enjoying a burger and fries while simultaneously being able to binge Jerry Springer on the tv across from you? Well this is the place for you! Boy oh boy, let me tell you, the three kids aged 8, 10, & 11 in our party couldn't have been more excited to watch women fighting in their bras immediately upon entering the establishment.We came here on opening day with a party of 7 and were all super excited to try it. We entered and immediately saw a sign saying "please wait to be seated" so we all stood around for close to 10 mins, during which time we made eye contact with the owner once or twice and were never acknowledged by any employees whatsoever during this time. Eventually we saw a party finishing up their meals, getting up, and passing by us on their way to exit and they told us they ended up just seating themselves since no one came to seat them either. So that's exactly what we did.Bad choice. Once we finally got settled in at our table we were finally greeted for the first time by the owner who said "something something you're supposed to wait to be seated something something." I couldn't really tell because the guy spoke at a barely audible level! Imagine you're opening up a new restaurant and this is all the enthusiasm you can muster up on opening day...jesus christ.Before we get down to our order, the menu had three types of burgers to offer, one of them (the Classic) has a "deluxe" option which simply adds lettuce & tomato...simple enough. When it was my wife's turn to order, she got the Oklahoma Onion burger and simply asked if she could get that deluxe with lettuce & tomato added to it. His response?Owner: *hesitation* "...no"As if he had some sort of Michelin star establishment that he had to maintain and that a measly piece of lettuce & tomato were going to throw off the flavors of a HAMBURGER...All in all, the food was good but seriously overpriced. I prefer In-n-Out if I'm honest and you can get a smash burger for far cheaper than $12 elsewhere. Just an absurd price for the type of hamburger you're getting.Go someplace else, this place sucks, and if the owner doesn't even care about you, why should you bother to give him your money. What a clown.

The burgers were exceptional. The fries might be my new favorite fries. Everything was perfectly cooked and the service was great. The pop was a pleasant surprise! As a die hard Coke Zero fan, I wasn’t thrilled about the “craft soda”, but it was surprisingly really good!
