Waited 30 minutes before we gave up and left. Didn’t even care to get our food cause it took so long.

This is a burger joint you definitely don't want to skip. First of all, the prices are amazing. A double cheeseburger with fries AND a drink for only $10. You can customize the toppings to however you want them for a tiny up charge. And I mean tiny. As in I added grilled onions, jalapeños AND bacon for only $1.75. The seating area seemed small at first but we were able to find seating immediately upon ordering. Everything is cooked to order and well worth the wait. The food was not only hot and fresh but the burger was perfectly cooked and juicy. Stop by if you like great food at a great price! 🍔🍟

Ate here with a group of 19. The food took 30 minutes to come out with just a couple people working but was well worth the wait

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I have been here before and had an amazing experience every time. However, this time was very different. I placed a pick up order on Doordash and as soon as I got there to pick up my order, the ready time changed to be an hour later. When we went back to pick up our food (nearly 2 hours after it was placed), the woman working (purple glasses, brown hair and eyes, rotting teeth) said that it hadn’t been started yet and would be another 20 minute wait. She slapped the patties on the grill with filthy hands. There were 4 customers in line and she completely blatantly ignored them and they all ended up leaving. At this point I was over it and asked for a refund and she snapped at me saying “I don’t do refunds, ask Doordash”. We contacted Doordash support and got my refund but before leaving, we asked for her name. She completely ignored me until I said something and when I asked for her name she MUMBLED “I’m not giving it to you.” She proceeded to complain about us and how she made the order but we left and I said “so you won’t give me your name?” and she responded “no, you guys don’t matter to me” and laughed. After that we talked to some other customers who also had left and they told us they had had bad experiences with that same employee in the past. We ended up leaving without the food as she was handling it without washing her hands or worrying about cleanliness at all. Overall, absolutely terrible service (probably the worst I’ve ever had) and such immature behavior from a grown ass woman. She clearly couldn’t care less about her job or the happiness or health of customers.

I gotta agree with Zachary below. I walked in and stood at the counter while the lady on the grill didn’t even look at me, did not greet me, did not say a word. I stood there for about a minute and a half and just walked out. Sad…

I am not local but i come here at least 2-3 times a year on vacation and this is a spot we really like. Its small and locally owned and we support that as much as we can. This place has only one or two people working, yes. Nothing is wrong with that. Its made fresh and the staff is so nice and working as hard as they can. I see lots of reviews of the food being trash but i strongly disagree. I think its delicious. It's better then i make anything at home by myself. We've gotten a hand full of different items. Knock out burgers, mini burgers, hot dogs, fries etc. Its great every time. It's a perfect lunch or dinner spot. It takes time to make fresh food, be kind and patient with the staff. I truly believe they do the best they can. :) Plus the prices are amazing for food on the beach walk. I highly reccomend this place.

Absolutely amazing food, vibes are fantastic and staff is all very friendly. Came for a four day trip and got the Swiss medium weight burger, and it was so good I came back and got a BBQ bacon burger the day I left the state! Absolutely phenomenal burgers, fries, prices, everything.

Food was delicious and cheap (though the more you add to your sandwich, it gets pricier). It was a quaint little place. The food was made in a cooking area just behind the register so it is a little more noisy but was still fine to hang out and chat. The bathroom was pretty gross but the main restaurant area was pretty clean. If you drive you have to work to find parking but the restaurant is in a place where most people walk from their hotels (which is what we did) and it was a nice area.

Absolutely do not recommend. The burger tasted like a cookout where someone random is cooking burgers last minute. The service sucked, the same person taking orders was the same one cooking the burgers. The lady did not use gloves ? unacceptable. My order took forever because there were two ppl behind me so they never started preparing/cooking my burger until all orders were taken. ? percent will not return and would not recommend.

Loved this place, came for a quick trip with my son and we both loved the food. I couldn’t believe it was $10 for a meal. Perfect for after the pool/beach.

Do not order online. They will not prepare in time and won’t start your order until you show up.

The burgers themselves are low quality institutional patties thrown on a char broiler. They were cook as well as one could. The grill lady had skills, but the low quality ingredients ruined the skill.

We had a quite good burger, their french fries suck though. Way too crispy.

Service was quite bad. We came in and the lady with the messed up teeth didn't really seem to care. We waited 5 minutes by the counter until she decided to take our order. About 20 minutes later (on a not busy day) we finally were able to eat. She forgot about our drinks btw.
Like I mentioned beforE our burgers were surprisingly good.

The place definitely has seen better days. Needs to be cleaned and a makeover wouldn't hurt as well.
Even though it's not in use anymore the beverage dispenser needs to be cleaned or removed ASAP.
