We came to this island on a mission, destined to explore the vast land. We came across this humble establishment, intrigued. So, we entered.
Segment 1: Terms of service
Upon entry we were faced with a great menu, so many options, limitless freedom. In theoretical terms I would be delighted by such terms. For such reasons I was considering leaving a holy 5 star review. But I didn’t…
Segment 2: Entrance
Next, we entered the establishment, our hopes high, the end nigh. So we waddled in, finding comforting seats to rest our weary souls onto.
Segment 3: Disappointment
We walked in, our minds racing with ideas on what to request upon ordering. But we got in, and the waitress handed us a menu. “I thought we already saw the menu,” I whispered in despair. I was right, but apparently there was another menu!?
Segment 4: Anger
You thought you read that wrong?? NO! You didn’t, there was a whole separate menu!! Guess how many items were on this menu. I bet you guessed 43.2. But nope. There was a measly 5 options.
Segment 5: Orders
Our hopes started in the highs, but they didn’t rise. We were heartbroken, sad, and frustrated. We had been scammed to put it lightly. What ruder mc ruderson would leave after they’ve been seated if they didn’t like the menu? Not us. So we were forced into ordering from this shame inducing 5-item menu. So, then our food was delivered. We should’ve been happy, but something was missing. Our dignity.
So, in conclusive decision of orderly fashion, I hereby pronounce thy previously mentioned establishment as unconstitutional. I believe we were lied to and treated poorly by using our own kindness against us. So, to conclude this tragedy
Honorable mentions that led to such rating: Crying baby, musical chair burgers, cold atmosphere.
Sources: my hand used to type this.
I hereby sign off on this review, I Maureen Johnson, world class reviewer, sadly have to leave a 2 star review.

Positive:
Food was not bad and the workers were really nice.
Negative: it was the winter time so they didn’t have the full menu. Instead, we had a hand written menu with 5 items on it. Very disappointing. I wish they would have told us that before we sat down. Also, 4 of us ordered burgers - all with different condiments and ways cooked. They didn’t get that right.
Price was expensive but that was expected.

Good for a burger, fries, and beer. A little expensive, but what do you expect? It's one of 3 burger joints on the island.

Food is great. Recommend the tuna melt and the veggie burger. Service is fine. Don’t order the ranch—it tastes odd. Ask for the garlic aioli instead.

It was all-around disappointing and costly. I understand the operating costs are higher, but the product is underwhelming.

Ate here with the family the first night we were there. Locally owned, wonderful food, outdoor seating, and great family time!

I think we had a new server. I was delivered a salad that still had the core attached to the leaves. Food just subpar to me. Since it's on an island they've got you.
