Burger bar on market in the budding restaurant district of Wilmington. Burgers are tasty with quality ingredients and flavorful combinations.

Had a pick up order from work and everyone was extremely disappointed. Cold and not what it used to be.

Burgers were good, not great. Tots were very good. The milkshakes had unique flavors but were way too thin. Service was good. It's a small place. You need reservations on the weekends, and you can not linger.

Guy Fieri was wrong about this one, but I guess I should've only ordered what he tasted. There's way too much to complain about at this place. The chicken skins' (that were on DDD) only flavors are oil and "hot". Not spicy, that would indicate flavor in addition to the heat. Salt would be nice. It wasn't even available on the table. On their BLT, the fried mozzarella was cold but what's worse is that the "bacon mayo" is all bacon grease! Not a mayo, not even an aioli! Half the bacon was burnt... black, not crispy. The Hog fries were overall the best thing we had, but the server failed to mention that there was a HOT cast iron serving dish. It was needed tho bc the fries weren't hot enough. The Brussels sprouts were flavorful, but they were not fresh! Very old like they had been cooked a few days before and reheated... again, not hot enough. We took them home and the car smelled like skunky farts no more than 5 mins into the ride. We had to crack the windows on a 30°F windy day. The mac & cheese with bacon jam was macaroni in a flavorless yet nasty cream sauce with a few pieces of burnt bacon and NO CHEESE! The sweet tater tots were delicious and bc they were served in a metal cup, the only thing fresh & hot on the table. In fact, they kept burning my mouth. But I didn't mind bc I used the scolding cup to keep warm. It had to be 45°F in that restaurant. We were sat right at the top of a staircase that apparently led to Antarctica. They don't serve warm beverages, and the heater was broken, or on vacation. This made the already under-warmed food get colder immediately! We took the food to-go after freezing for 37 minutes. There's no assigned uniform so good luck figuring out who's a server & who's just a man in a button-down flannel walking around the restaurant. We had to almost beg for hot sauce, ketchup, salt, & pepper... U know, things normally on a table. We spent $67 on food we trashed when we got home just because we didn't want to be "the picky black people that are leaving their food because they probably want a discount or not to pay". We even tipped $13 despite the subpar service. I guess it wasn't the server's fault we had to chase him down several times, or that our food was ice cold due to an apparent understaffing or under-training. Honestly, I want my time and body heat back more than I want the money and trust me... I do want that $67 back. I need eggs this week. Long story short: Don't!

Drinks were very good. We order 3 burgers all cooked medium. We got two that were well done and dry and the other was medium well. Very disappointed, they were very busy. Was told our order got put in with the rest. So I guess ours got left of the burner longer?? I will try it again in the future. It has potential to be very good.

So, let me start by saying the french fries and tater tots are good, good flavor, cooked well. The burgers how ever have no flavor, like the meat wasn't seasoned at all. Chicken skins also had no flavor, just a hot powder on top. $62 for no flavor food.

Service was great, atmosphere was there and the street corn nachos were perfection, but my husband and I both felt that the rest of the food was lacking in some salt.

If you rate that burger a 5 stars you’ve never had a good burger. For a place known for their burgers I was shocked when it was cooked improperly. I ordered medium rare, and it arrived rare bordering blue. On top of that, it is completely underseasoned the taste is just of beef.

Fantastic fare in a great setting served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.
My wife and I enjoyed fantastic burgers, and learnt and got to try flights of rare and delicious bourbons and ryes. John and Alex gave insightful recommendations on food and drinks, helping navigate the 1200+ bottle long list of bourbons, whisk(e)ys and ryes. Their burgers were cooked perfectly and creatively assembled. Definitely ask for a side of Reaper Aioli! Highly recommend stopping by here to enjoy delicious in-house made food and drink.

I had jury duty and this is a very short walk from the courthouse. The hours are weird for this restaurant but it is also a whiskey bar. I don’t get to drink because I was serving on a jury but would have loved to. They had a lot of options. This was on a list of places I wanted to visit with a friend and had to take the opportunity to eat here. I ordered the Brie Burger and sweet potatoes tatter tots and it was amazing!!! I ate it all and quickly. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and professional. It was pretty dead when I was there but I can imagine in the afternoon and evenings this being a very busy place. I was there for lunch right at opening. They open at 12 but what a fantastic lunch!! The restaurant had cool decor and the bathrooms were clean and nice. I just have to say fantastic food!!! The burger and tots really filled the spot!!! The only down side is parking in this area isn’t easy but find a lot and walk over, it’s an easy walk and if you are ever at the court house it’s definitely the right lunch choice!
