The place has a nice atmosphere, but the food doesn’t quite measure up to other similar spots. I've given it several tries over the past three years, but each experience has been just average.

YUM! Stopped here by chance when making a Target run for college drop off. The food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere. So many fun drinks to choose from - they had a great variety of beers and cocktails. I know it’s a burger place (the guys had burgers - they said they were great!) but I had the Southwest style salad (can’t remember the name) and it was outstanding. The grilled chicken on it was fantastic! Loved the onion strings and shoestring fries. I’m probably calling everything the wrong name but we really enjoyed everything we ordered (including the hatch green chili Mac n cheese - which had some kick!). I’d definitely recommend this place. The service was great too. Eat here and enjoy!

Burger was ok, not worth 20$. We also ordered mango margarita, got lome margarita, and when told to the waitress its not mango margarita, she tried to convince us it is.

Needless to say we'll look for better places

Order half pound patty. It's quite small. Try whole pound for a better taste!

Ordered takeout. On one hand it’s good to have an option for carbivore/keto. On the other hand the value for money just isn’t there. Half pound burger with egg cheese and bacon for $25? Also mine was packed in a bag that allowed it to slide off the bottom box and the egg yolk broke and soaked into the cardboard container. Beef was cooked properly but not super flavorful.

Excellent design your own burgers. Full out the order for for a nearly unlimited choice of meats, breads, toppings and cheeses.

Loved it! Fresh! Great quality food and loved our service with Luis! loved the peach mint Fresca too! Delicious! Salad was fresh and no antibiotics on the meat we love the organic bison burger and I usually get without the Gouda cheese and sauces on the side

The music was a little loud and inappropriate (nothing was censored, which is odd to me in family restaurants), the service a little slow. Great food, though - I had the hot southern fried chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. Their tater tots are always good. In general , their food is solid.

If you eat in the restaurant, they add an 18% service charge, and then you're expected to tip on top of that. Pretty rough.

Vegetarian options: They do have salads and impossible burger patties.
