I don’t want to read a sap story on the menu about how they’re on the brink of getting kicked out and cutting items off the menu. You’re going to lose more customers as you can’t even keep FRENCH FRIES on the menu. Will never be back!

It’s downtown, the food I received was below mediocre, I got the tingley and substituted the burger for chicken, that may be my fault and I will return to get a burger but the chicken is completely unseasoned though it was cooked very well, most of the fries were chewy and undercooked and one of them was to the point of raw potatoes, the green chili sauce is practically flavorless, the guac is mostly avocado taste which to me is perfect but others may prefer otherwise, the ranch is comparable to hidden valley, lettuce was slightly wilted but nothing egregious, mango sauce was exactly what i expected and was pretty good, I’d give the cooked fries a 4 star but so many were so undercooked it’s an overall 2 for the fries, the chicken was literally plain chicken which id score a three stars for the sandwich overall, servers did their job but the tables are really dirty which is not good, decoration of the place was really nice, will try burgers at other location. This place was not worth the $20 you pretty much have to spend

Many different types of beers to choose from. Plus you can't beat half off burger Wednesday.

Had a great burger and a great time! Efficient and attentive staff, top-notch burgers.
Edit: Came back another time over a year later, WOW! Still the same perfect burger and PHENOMENAL service. The staff is awesome! Seriously one of my favorite burger joints anywhere in America, and I've tried a lot!

Food was good. Bartender was great ?. Make sure to keep the bartender!!
I stopped into this place a few days ago. The burger itself was good, but the lettuce was weird and wilted. I had to pull some of it off. Just had kind of an odd texture to it. Allegedly there were caramelized onions on it. I think I saw some, but could not taste them. Fairly average burger for an above average price.The fries would have been great with less salt. Hand cut and perfectly cooked, then ruined with what seemed to be a cup of salt.The server was all right, but seemed to be more interested in her phone than anything else. I had to get up and let her know I was ready to go and wanted to pay as she seemed so detached from her job.Over all, an okay experience. I doubt I'll return. It wasn't terrible, just flat out average and there are better places to go in Iowa City.

It is a burger place with a great bar. What else could you ask for in a place that has "burger" in the name? Unfortunately there is no longer a "shine", but historically there was on the building.

One of, if not the best burgers in Iowa City. A decent value for the quality of the hamburger. Would have rated 5 stars, but the cheese curds appetizers were overcooked and greasy.

The place was a little small, counters were dirty, the burger was well seasoned but over cooked. The bar tender was great, the beers she suggested were really good. It could be a great spot thats in a great location.

I had a black bean burger with fries, others had breaded pork tenderloin, burgers and fries. All very good. Farm to table Iowa food. Locally sourced. The fries are very good. Friendly service. Plenty of TVs to catch the game. Delicious burgers!
