We took a road trip to try this place after reading about it being the best burger in NW IN. I could've saved gas money on this one. My husband and I both ordered the smash burger w/house fries, along with their famous Bloody Mary. The burger was very dry and bland. We tasted nothing special that would make it a standout dish. We were very disappointed. The fries were fresh and crispy. The Bloody Mary was tasty. We both loved the bacon!It was a very busy, hopping place. The staff was friendly, and it was like watching the 50 yard dash! You had to be careful not to get run over, which can be a complaint and a compliment to the staff. They weren't just standing around doing nothing, for sure! With it being a small place, it was very loud (which translates into happy customers and owners).I'm sure it's a popular place for locals but, in our opinion, it's not road trip worthy.

Stopped in and had the brisket nachos (picture attached). Very good although could have used a bit more brisket.Sandy and I split the Radius Burger, it was plenty for both of us. Juicy and thick. Just the way we like it.Probably would try fish tacos on next visit.

There is a lot of hype behind this restaurant, but I was not impressed. I was there with 4 others and they thought it was good, but I left with a stomach ache after eating 1/2 of an Elvis. I personally would not go back,

My husband & I tried this place for the 1st time today - not impressed! The way the hostess seats customers is absurd. I thought it was just us, but she does all guests the same way. She walks to a table, sets down menus, doesn't say anything, and keeps walking. I seen 1 party that kept following her, thinking they were still on their way to the table. Another party had to ask if the menus were for their table. How hard is it to tell the customers - here's your table or your waitress will be right with you, something?! Now, on to the food. My grilled chicken sandwich was okay, nothing special. The last few bites tasted rubbery. My fries had Cajun seasoning, even though I ordered house fries. My husband's Nashville hot chicken was especially thin. He said the sandwiches at Chick-fil-A & even Wendy's are thicker breast meat, all crunchy no meat. First impressions were not good & unfortunately we have no desire to try them again.

I’ve dined in several times & done carry out a few. I get the veggie patty version of the burgers each time & loved it every time. One of my favorite places in town. I’ve tried all the burgers, the Redenbacher is my favorite (no bacon obviously). The only one that I wasn’t a huge fan of is the Radius but solely because I was not a fan of the parmesan crisp. Great food ??
Ate at radius, never had the ribeye steak sandwich so I ordered it medium. At no point did the waitress say it only comes well done and tough like shoe leather. I definitely would’ve changed my decision on what to order. Also it said it came with crispy onions, needed a microscope to see them. When I told the waitress, it was tough and well done. She said that’s the way it comes. It sure would’ve helped to know that. The other person I was with had pulled pork and said it was good that’s why I didn’t give it a one star. Fortunately, my dog wasn’t fussy about the shoe leather steak. $19 treat for him. Don’t think I’ll be back there.
