We went on a Thursday during lunch time. There was no line. The decoration of the restaurant is so cool and funny. The burgers’ names are interesting. They are named after famous people. Me and my parents (3 people) ordered two burgers to share. Overall, this is a place I will visit again next time I visit Boston.

We ordered the Trump burger. When the burger was served, I was astonished at how big the burger was. It had two cheeses and two patties without any vegetable (e.g. lettuce, tomato). The patty was thicker than any patty I have ever had in the US. We ordered the burger to be cooked to medium and was really juicy, but it won’t make the bun wet. The bun was so soft. This burger can easily serve two people and let people fully enjoy the patty.

The other burger is the Jayson Tatum burger. It has a single patty, which is the same as the one in Trump. It has mushroom, arugula and cheese. The cheese and mushroom make the burger even more juicy and provides it a richer flavor.

I really like the burgers and they are the best burgers I have ever had in the US until now.

Love love love the burgers here—they make a really good basic burger, but also a lot of creative, unique burgers. A lot of the creative burgers are seasonal, but they do a delicious cherry pepper relish. Get a burger with that if you can!

As for sides, I can't recommend the sweet potato fries enough. The onion rings are great too: on the thinner side, but they are battered and fried well The fried pickles are good, but I think the other sides go better with their burgers.

I've been here thrice and the service is usually good, but one time our waitress forgot about us for maybe a half hour. But she was nice about it!

Food has always been great. Most recently UberEats messed up our order for pick-up. Staff went above and beyond which was really appreciated.

One of the most iconic burger spots in Cambridge. I’ve been here twice (so far), and the staff has been super nice each time. I tried the 'Joe Bartley' and 'The Mock,' and both were delicious. Be sure to check out the extremely funny posters on the walls. ?

The atmosphere and location are great, but the service and food were lackluster.

As we ate, we thought the burger was only so-so, but afterwards we both felt sick to our stomach.

Service wasn’t great, and they weren’t very busy.

Maybe it was a just a bad day for them, but we won’t be back.

We both got hamburgers with fries and a soda for approx $55 after tip…which seems like a lot but also normal range for the area.

Hands down one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I ordered a build your own medium burger with onion rings and the patty was cooked perfectly medium. Everything was incredibly fresh including the onion rings, which tasted like they were made in house. Incredible Boston style service with great hospitality and incredibly hard working staff. Definitely highly recommend this place and will be back here again regularly
