What an amazing burger spot! The patio is absolutely beautiful, the servers and wait staff were sweet and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS. Big huge burgers and chicken sandwiches, my wife loved the sweet potato fries, I devoured my parm fries - all the food was extremely good. The pricing is very fair too, especially considering most restaurant prices these days. Instead of spending $30 for mid food at one of the big corps in the plaza, just spend $40 here and get waaaaay better...

Great news place in ladera, amazing patio, covered and with TV's.

Food was great and the service was awesome.

For sure have to give it a try!

These burgers are the real deal. Their patties aren’t those super thin ones that other so called “Burger Joints” sell, and their customizable options are on point. Their decor and atmosphere is also really cool, and apparently they do live music sometimes so I need to be in town for that one day.
