“Smith Burger definitely has the best burgers in town, don't downplay the hot dogs though either. The chili cheese ripper is super good. Then by adding the beer selection of collective pour to this place it is hard to beat. Because it is on the edge of downtown one might say that the location is limiting, but because of the parking right outside it's a pretty great location too.“
“Ok, I went there a couple times in their first couple days of both soft and official opening weekend and I have to say that I do LOVE the retro cool renovations, the special local decor touches and the general ambiance provided by the open-concept room with a mix of seating options, a respectable alternative/alt-country playlist and an ever-friendly staff. Altho they do not yet have skee-ball and other gaming options like the other locations, there are some dart boards and a retro bubble hockey game! The real applause should directed to the beer selections and the down-to-a-science technology inherent to the extensive pour your own / pay-by-the-ounce tap wall. The only glitch was that there was no wine on tap, but that, and the glass-rinsing mechanism, are apparently still in the works. The best part of the set up though is probably the variety - in addition to 2 wines, they will be looking to keep 2 ciders, 2 meads and a hard seltzer or 2, as well as the 15 or so beer taps representing the gamut of styles. I can also say that at least initially, the choices were well thought out and include a couple not found elsewhere locally. In addition to a digital (UnTappd) beer board in front, the thing that may be most helpful for those that prefer to not "do the math", above each tap someone has chalked in a style listing with the equivalent cost (10 or 16-oz depending on style) per glass. I see a good number of whiskey options and am told they have a nice cocktail list too. The ownership/management team behind this 4th central Illinois franchise location seem to be great people and are already entertaining expansion plans. As a fan of what they've done here downtown, hopefully they can avoid the curse(s) the previous establishments ran into at this locale and their focused expedient work will be repaid. If you're looking for some unique refreshment and a cool, downtown vibe...check'em out.“
“I am not sure why I’m being asked to rate this place because I’ve never been there. It looks cool and the rooftop seating area seems fun. I think I went to the men’s clothing store across the street and bought a $145 shirt because I was in a hurry to an event.“
“Food was delicious! Place was clean. The food was fresh & hot. I had the grilled chicken wrap, which is served warm. It's a good size, a good amount of chicken. My husband had the cheese burger. The lettuce & tomatoes were fresh & crispy. The service was very nice. Bathrooms clean. What more can you ask for!?Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp but the doors are set a bit diagonal. So, I feel it's more walker friendly than wheelchair.“
“I have been to the Space three times. Each time was better than the last - the edges of the burgers lacier and more crisp, the sauces more satisfying and complex, the cook looking more and more like Trevor Moore of Whitest Kids U Know (rip) - and I now fear if I go again that they’ll be the only place I want to get burgers. Dangereuse. Go immediately.“
