We ate lunch here after my son’s graduation from RTC. The room downstairs has video games and table games and the menu is fun and delicious. They gave us a generous graduation day discount and were extremely accommodating - offering to move tables etc. Highly recommend for a post graduation or family/friend casual outing. We enjoyed the burgers, french fries, and grilled cheese with some fun options!

Fries were on point. Like debt time I go. They are always hot and you get way too many. Crew is really cool as well. I think the burgers are too greasy. But they have the best fries I. Lake forest fore sure

Went there for a second time our first experience was great.This one not so much the fries were luke warm and I noticed somewhat skimpy looking with a lot of small ones vs actual long fries . They were brought to the table so I assumed they would have noticed they had been sitting around bs being fresh. I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to wreck the person I was with experience sorry I didn’t as he noticed it as well and didn’t say so till we left. I had told everyone about this place after our first visit but now wonder what is the real Peanut Gallery. Consistency in what you serve is important

I was in the area and have been wanting to give this spot a try - very happy I did! Made-to-order smashburger patties are a decent size, flavorful, and have a slight crisp at the edges. Ordered a Build Your Own Burger (pictured here): Single patty (most of their signature burgers are double patties), no cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, raw onion, tomato, pickles. Will do without the ketchup and mustard next time as there are both at the table. My Husband ordered The Shaolin Burger (double patties, cheddar, caramelized onions, mushrooms, black garlic aioli). Also ordered a side of homemade fries. Everything was $27 even. Didn't have room for dessert which looked amazingly perfect, but that is definitely a must next visit!

Parking: Free street parking for posted limited times.

A gentle hot dog and burger place with a great ice cream selection. The Cajun fries came with interesting toppings and were therefore 4/5 however the burgers were amazing and the service incredible!

The staff is incredible and very friendly. The burgers here are probably the best I’ve ever had. The 4 specialty burgers are all amazing. Tried the korean chicken burger and fire bird today, just amazing. The specialty fries are amazing. Cant miss with either of them. Each item on the menu is made with love and this place is heavily slept on. Just an amazing place, great service, and awesome vibes. Cant wait to be back
