Their Mountain Dew fountain soda tastes super fresh & you can tell they keep the lines clean. Michelle took great care of us and was very personable and helpful. The cook made the hash browns crispy like we ordered them. Highly recommend this spot!!! Will return!!!!”

“We had a great experience at Burgers and Beer! Classic American comfort food— I had the nachos, and my daughter had the chicken nuggets and fries. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. Our waitress was amazing—so friendly, respectful, and attentive. She made my daughter laugh the whole time, which meant a lot to me. What really stood out was how she spoke directly to my daughter and asked her what she wanted to order, instead of asking me for her. That may seem small, but it’s a big deal to us—one of the life skills we’re working on is ordering for herself, and this made for such a positive, empowering moment. Highly recommend!”

“Head Up Here Pub is that little neighborhood spot that somehow turns into the place you stay at all night. Cheap shots? Yup. Good music? Always. Pool, darts, slots, and a crowd that actually knows how to have a good time? Absolutely. It’s the kind of bar where the bartenders remember your drink and the playlist hits every time. 10/10 vibe — you’ll walk in for a drink and end up staying for the whole night.”
