One of two best places to get a hamburger in New Haven. A real hidden gem. Visit frequently.

Go if you’re white and old, otherwise, prepare to be “poked fun of”ie have people be super rude to you and make racist comments. Left before ordering because the bartender somehow managed to try to pick a fight with me in the 2 minutes I was seated. Didn’t taste the food so I didn’t rate that

Not ideal. Overheard a lot of racist comments so we left.

cool place, no one cared about my dog (in fact, ladies were swooning over her) and the bartender was (unfortunately) super nice to me despite the fact I’m european 😔😔 heard people talk about uncle ted, exciting

burger was generous, tasty, no seed oils, and prices were fair

good vibe

Burgers are phenomenal. The best in New Haven by far. Old school atmosphere. Not for the weak hearted . Perfect place to chill on a Sunday.

Saw the place and thought it looked so lovely to the point that I cancelled my uber to enjoy a beer at the place, only to be met by the rudest bartender I have ever encountered. HE came up to me asking for my order, while I was canceling my uber, and berated me for using my phone while ordering. I explained myself and he ignored me. I ordered and he kept on making rude comments. In the 5 minutes I was there he also somehow managed to also sneak a racist comment, which I’ve also seen in other reviews. I don’t understand how other reviews are so good, I think this is a different bartender that doesn’t work W/F. Ruined the night. Extremely rude, extremely inappropriate, extremely racist, will never come back here again.

3 of us came to watch my granddaughter play in a basketball tournament at SCSU. We had Googled 'dive bars' on the way. We were not disappointed. The neighborhood atmosphere was evident. From the 3 friendly patrons who greeted us to the genial bartender. A 'Cheers' atmosphere. The 'melt in your mouth' burgers were the best ever. And we were pleasantly amazed with the bill! A definite place to return.

Obsessed with this place. Has become my neighbourhood hangout, and I love the bartender (Bob) who’s on Wednesday and Friday. Iconic man. The place in general is cash only neighbour hood bar vibes and can assuredly be found playing The Game
