Too expensive for the casual food the place serves. I ordered the pound burger and received the dish: the burger was as simple as McDonalds burger, it was simply 2 half pound burgers stacked together. The bun was small and failed to “cover” the burgers which sticked out all around. As I was eating, the content couldn’t hold it together and clasped into my plate, the fries were matches fried and were cold. In the middle of the dinner a woman stepped into the restaurant zone...

A good place to go with kids who'll have fun making their own burger, and for hungry adults in need of some comfort/ junk food fixing. Service was helpful and friendly. But it's not where I'd go for the vibe....

This is a fantastic spot to eat! The food quality is excellent—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. The only downside is that it’s on the pricier side; I spent around $32 on a burger and sweet potato fries. But if you don’t mind spending a bit more for quality and ambiance, this place is definitely worth a visit!
Also the parking is free for the first 2 hours.
