The burgers are delicious! I think one of the best burgers I have ever had. I would 100 % go again. I had the yes to happiness milkshake and it was soo good. The staff was friendly and the food came fast. There is a small downstairs area with extra seating and a few games to play.

The burgers are good and affordable. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. It has an arcade in the basement, which is where I ate. I also found one of these toys in the claw machine. Someone must have forgot it and left it there for me to find.

Got a regular double bacon cheeseburger and it was very very salty I mean this is probably preference but personally not my favorite but it wasn’t bad. The chili cheese fries 🍟 were very good though

Looking for a good, seasoned smashed burger with good crispy edges? Looking for fresh cut fries cooked perfectly? Looking for a delicious milkshake to go with it? This is the spot!! The customer service was perfect! Shelby was an amazing person who had great ideas for good milkshakes. The only thing that I didn’t like, and it’s only because I’m not big on it, but the burgers were a little greasy… 🥹🥹 BUT THEY WERE SOOOOO GOOD…!!

The burgers are extremely greasy. The fries and even the onion rings were way too salty. The shake was good, but we waited at least 15 minutes for it.

Food is excellent! Especially the various fried chicken sandwiches. But it’s dark, very warm (felt like 75+ degrees), and a little dirty (lots of flies). Better spot for takeout than dining in.

Got a “Dirty Bird” sandwich on gluten free bread. It was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was fantastic, food was ready quickly, there was nice, quiet outdoor seating at the back

Had a burger that was overpriced and didn’t get fries because they are sold separately what restaurant doesn’t sell fries with there burger won’t be returning

This is one of the best burgers o have had in a while! I was surprised how good it was! Also military gets 50% off so dont forget to ask! I came here with some friends and we walked up and placed our order right away.

The inside had a very simple but inviting vibe with a self serve soft drink station. You place the order then grab a seat and theh bring the food out to you.
I ordered the ODB burger and a side of cheese fries with ranch. The burger was so juice and very well seasoned with bacon that was a little too crispy for my taste.. but my friend's burger had bacon that was cooked perfectly and not crispy so we switched bacon straps lol. The sauce on the burger was really nice and the pickled jalapeños really complimented all the flavors nicely. The fries were cooked perfectly also with a satisfying crunch on the outside and pillowy soft in the inside. The ranch was just okay. Not a house made ranch, just a bit sour but still good. The cheese was also a nice touch but it ended up getting cold fast so dipping fries in it was a little challenging.

They also serve ice cream here! My friend got a smores ice cream with pumpkin ice cream in it and the marshmallow qas perfectly toasted! It was beautiful!

Ranch score: 6/10

Over all the service was good, the food was freshly made and absolutely excellent and the price is well worth the amount of food you get! I will definitely be back!

Stopped in for lunch. They have street parking and was not a big issue on a Friday, late morning. I ordered the smash burger, fries and two scoops of ice cream, $22. Everything was good and ordering was easy. The service was very strange, took a while to get my food and it came out in phases, the burger came out and then 5 minutes later the fries joined. My coworker waited a long time for his burger, but before that, he got a grill cheese that he didn't order, which they ended up taking it back and storing in an incubator, maybe to sell it to someone else later, not sure, but I would have thought they should have thrown it away. Food is good but service is strange. The ice cream was good but could have a been a bit fresher, it felt like it had ice crystals in my scoops. My other coworker had the Korean chicken sandwich, and he said it was good but the bun fell apart, so it ended up being a bit of a mess. He did say the sandwich was good. I would return, if in the area, but probably will not go out of my way.
