This place smelled so good when we passed by I had to try it!! It was terrible the chilli was disgusting fries too, the burger was dry as the Mojave desert and tasteless. We spent $84.07 tip included. I will not be back. We should have just went with Wingstop or something. They have one star from me because I couldn't post without it. Step y'all game UP!! The veggies were fresh, ranch not so good.

It's one of my favorite places! My Hubby's too! We've been going for years. This time, my Double Bacon Cheeseburger was a little dry. By that, I mean the patties. It was also a bit hard to eat the next day. The bottom bun kept sliding off, as well as the lettuce, tomato, and onion. But still DELICIOUS.
I also got a Mocha Milkshake. Wow! Maybe the best shake I've ever had.
Plus, I got the fried mushrooms, which were quite good as always. You MUST try this place!

This place needs help. I order a Swiss burger with bacon, no onion no pickle. Then a normal Swiss burger. I had to tell the lady my order three times. Then I saw they were putting onion and pickle juice on my burger. I asked if that was my bacon Swiss burger.

Yess. So I asked them please no onion and pickle on my Swiss burger. I get home bite in and it has cheddar on my burger. I’m allergic to cheddar and threw up after one bite. I can’t believe I paid 42 for two burgers one fries and two shakes only to throw up and throw most of it away. Check your order cause this place is clueless

I don't know how else to say this, and it might be a little confusing, but these burgers taste like the 90s! The food and atmosphere gave me so much nostalgia back to when everything was just simple and good. Reminded me of my childhood. You can taste the char from the grill and that signature mesquite charcoal. I don't even drink soda and I had to go back up and get a crispy ice cold coca cola to go with this food, it's just a timeless classic.

HOOOOOOLY COW!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I had the grilled chicken burger and they literally use an entire chicken breast! The flavour from the charcoal is amazing BUT it's the bun that makes it. They butter it up and toast it. It's PERFECT. the locals say this is the best place to eat, and they're not wrong. It's a lil mom'n pop place and everyone is friendly. It's small but big on flavour. OH AND OMGAAAAAWD they're ranch sauce is HOMEMADE!!!! it's absolutely the best I've ever had!!!! Git yourself 2 to dip them fries. Lol

whoa. what a great burger. it had a nice smokey flavor and a good heft to it. it came piping hot and totally scratched my late night burger itch. the fried mushrooms and fried zucchini was pretty good too. the soda was kinda flat, though it was probably luck of the draw.

Great little burger joint frozen in time from the 1960s. The burger was about 1/3 bigger than is standard and so good. If you are looking for an alternative to the corporate chains these days, this is a great option.
