Entering was like walking into a retro 1980s rock bar with plenty of chairs and tables to sit, you could shoot a new huey lewis and the news video here so much space. Choose either at the bar or at any table you want. Music is wonderful 90s 80s 70s Mowtown and a bit in-between.Our server came right over to our table, we ordered our drinks and they came out within 2 minutes. Placed our order of the demon burger medium and the chicken caeser wrap both with fries. Drinks were poured nicely crown and ginger for the lady. The burger was cooked perfectly medium with the Cajun heat on point too. Only issue with it was the bacon is the size of Wendy's bacon, and only 1 strip cut in half, needed a bit more blue cheese over the burger just not the middle. Caeser wrap absolutely perfection and just like the fries some of the best fries I've had. Great customer service, but that burger; charge a buck or so more (will gladly pay) for; extra the blue cheese crumbles switch to two strips of thick cut apple or cherry wood bacon give the sweetness too that Cajun heat. All in all loved it here we will be back. Thanks for having us. Recommend for sure. 🤘👏🤘

One of the best cheeseburgers that I have ever had. The outside seating is perfect on a nice day. My kids and my wife loved their meal as well.

All of the portions are large and the prices are affordable. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

I’ve heard the wings are good. Went in had a drink and ordered some to go, got home and realized they ‘forgot’ to sauce half of them… not happy. So price on these negative. And sauce on these negative.

The only comment I can make is look at your bill. Was overcharged 20 dollar on my credit card and when I called back, I got attitude. It was fixed, but could do without the attitude!
