Went in and was asked where I wanted to sit as a party of one. I said bar. I sat down on very uncomfortable and falling apart stools and was given a menu and water. A man was standing in front of me doing nothing and I asked for a tavern burger. He looked at me and pointed at another person down the bar and did nothing. I sat for a moment on the bad stool, already quite depressed from a bad experience at another bar. The music was very loud and as I sat there for about 2 minutes watching all the workers in the restaurant doing nothing but talking, I got up and left.
The bar was half empty and no one was currently doing anything of note. They just all looked through me. It was a really shitty experience. If I had stayed it might of taken me hours to get served or another few minutes, but either way I'd be deaf and uncomfortable from the stools.

Crazy how there’s so many reviews saying that the staff here is rude but they’re all telling the truth. I came here tonight with a few people on 8/13/2025 at about 12:30am. From the time you walk in, you can feel an unwelcoming atmosphere. Everyone ordered a margarita. We paid for the first drinks then asked for two more. The bartender proceeded to tell me that he refused to make anymore drinks because he didn’t receive a tip. Once we decided to leave, one of the people I came with asked the same bartender if he can have a to go cup. The bartender said no so my friend decided to pour the drink in a cup he already came with. The bartender decided it was a good idea to try to snatch the drink away from my friend making him spill the drink on his shirt. This could’ve easily went left. Very unprofessional. Don’t go here. Save yourself the trouble.

Super cool burger bar with a retro feel inside. Smash burger was phenomenal and $10 beer + shot deals are my kryptonite! Fun place with a friendly staff.

My family and I were looking for a quick bite and found this place on the corner while we were walking. The place is super cute and retro feeling, they had indoor and outdoor seats. The menu was small which I liked, it was nice and simple. My sister and I shared a smash burger and my husband got the lemon pepper chicken sandwich, they were delicious! Burger was juicy and the sandwich was crispy. Would love to go back should we ever be in the area again!

Awesome smash burger.
No more mozzarella sticks or chicken fingers and the cocktails were so bad beef and soda don’t mix the marshmallow desert drink was scary bad. Our server was nice but our server had no clue what was going on and then a man came out from the bar and said he was making drinks and food and was an owner and couldnt sleep ???? but when we asked why the menu changed he said he didn’t know and it was not up to him. Very cute but maybe its to busy and they need more help or could do less
Such a nice spot, and the burger + fries were perfect, will definitely be back!
My boyfriend and I found this spot on a night out, he actually found it on a whim and we decided to try it out. Margo was our waitress she was super attentive and we loved all of her recommendations! There was also a man running the food to our table, I unfortunately didn’t get his name but he was so kind and also gave us great service. This may the best burger I’ve had in a while! We will 100% be back
Such a fun little spot. Came for drinks and snacks and everything was fire. Try one of the clarified drinks
