Good, creative burgers. Specialty fries were kinda small for the price. Big plus was the gluten-free options, including a GF fryer! Like the place overall but would expect to see more fries when they cost almost as much as the burger which impacted the overall rating.

Good spot for lunch after a soak at Cottonwood hot springs. Recently I am conscious of my eating portion & choice so I had a small cheeseburger brunch and okra boat. My family had burgers which are delicious.

New brick and mortar is so loud and poorly spaced. No room to move. Can't hear the people beside you.

Impressive service amidst a packed Saturday night. Even with a full house it was easy to have a conversation. For its price point, the small portions are a bit underwhelming. I hope folks in charge would consider adding temp requests for the patty. Unfortunately, all but one of our burgers were well done. I know this business prides itself on “unsmashed” and flavorful burgers. Unfortunately, that was far from our experience.Honestly, Buena Vista needs another burger joint like Salida needs another pizza place.

Good location and great atmosphere and staff. I had the whiskey melt and the rye bread was way larger then the meat. Taste was good but would like to see the meat spread out to fit bread. I would try them again for sure.

This place is stellar! The Viking just opened their brick and mortar location after years of crushing it out of a summer only food truck. We checked out the new spot today, it was busy but the team executed flawlessly. The communication was great and we got drinks and a table fast. Checked out all new items including new burgers, salads and veggie burgers and holy cow everything was stellar. Rounded it out with goat cheese and honey sweet potato fries and fried okra! Can't wait to crush burgers year round!

Came here for the soft opening, and they were firing on all cylinders already. The service was great, with upbeat and attentive staff. We had the Hygge Hype and the classic Viking burgers. The onions were perfectly carmelized on the Hygge and both burgers were cooked perfectly. The sweet potato fries were easily the best I’ve ever had, and the tots were also excellent. Great ambiance, super cool spot, highly recommend!

What a fun place! We stumbled upon this great burger spot. It had a great outdoor seating area and we were so full when we left.
