We found this place randomly tonight and we can't wait to return! For a cold sunday night, there were several tables and a few people sitting the bar so it was good vibes right away. Our server was AMAZING, the food was PERECT š and the place was all around a super cool spot. They have board and card games, a pool table and other fun activities to do if you want to hang out for a while. You pick how you want your milkshake with a base, mix ins, and toppings, which was cool! 2 crafted burgers w/ house cut seasoned fries + burger additions & a custom milkshake to share was a fair $48. Can't wait to return for Trivia and Game nights! I bet this place is hopping during the warmer months with their two outdoor patios!! We will be back!!

We reluctantly decided to return after not having the best experiences in the past, but after hearing the establishment was under new management and seeing many recent positive reviews, we hoped things would be different.
Initial thought-It was 5PM and we were the only table.
Pros-
-Waitress was extremely kind, attentive, and sweet.
Cons-
-Sprite was flat and tasted like dirty club soda.
-Fries were extremely salty. The bowl that was brought out as an appetizer were a little better than those served with the burger(s).
-Fried Chicken Sandwich (see picture on yelp review) looked as though it was on the floor, or picked out of the garbage, and tasted just the same.
-Four of us had a burger, which was just okay. The seasoning on them was overwhelming and may not be for everyone.

After the two people at the bar left, we were the only table in the restaurant (6 people).
We're not sure if the manager was present, but given that we were the only table on a Saturday night, we would have expected there to be some interest in hearing directly from customers for feedback and learning how to improve.
While we had hoped that giving it another chance would lead to a more enjoyable experience, there's still a lot that needs improvement for us to consider it worthwhileālet alone edible.

Great atmosphere and the drinks were fantastic as well. Food menu isnāt overwhelming which is a huge plus. Service was quick and correct. Food was cooked correctly and tasted great

We paid 65 dollars for disgusting food . The burger had a strange taste the bun was hard...I'm not sure but I don't think there was ice cream in my shake. It was more like strawberry quik. The fries were undercooked and soggy. I do not recommend this place and now I know why I never see customers in there. I wanted to love it but...

Came here twice already and both times food , service and ambience was amazing . I love to experience new restaurants and by far this is been one of my best experiences around this location in Bethlehem. Burgers are greatly seasoned . Good portion or sides (fries and onion rings ) old school bar vibe with a twist lounge without the too loud music. and bartender Lindsay made a great Moscow mule . Will be heading back .

Paid almost 40$ for 2 āsubparā burgers at absolute best. On top of the quality not being reflected by the price, the staff were short and rude while having vulgar conversations just around the counter where i could see them. Not coming again, sorry!

Retro Burger was very good. I ordered well done burger but you could see by color of pattie it was not cooked well done. Waitress offered to take pattie back to kitchen to cook it longer, but I said no. Fries were fresh cut and they were also very good. Service was good.

Great burgers! Fries are extra, and pretty good. Restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Trivia night was fun (but quite loud). Good service. Parking in back is poorly lit.

I think this place focuses more on the aesthetic and concepts of the restaurant rather than quality in food and service.
The milkshakes were very bland and just tasted like slightly sweet milk. The burgers were seasoned with a unique blend that left a weird after taste (maybe too much cumin?)
My husband ordered the mushroom patty melt and it was falling apart by the second bite cause it was soaked in balsamic. The mushrooms were extremely sour and difficult to get down.
The service was okay, our waitress was very nice but they just seemed very short staffed. It took as an hour to get our entrees
The only positive in the food were the fries, they were crispy and well seasoned. But I feel that for a burger place, the star of the show should be the burgers.
We really wanted to like this place and tried to make the most of it, but unfortunately we will not be returning.

Amazing wings, and they have the NFL ticket! Staff is friendly and everyday specials on alcohol.
Had a wonderful experience here! I ordered the Ramen burger with an extra patty. Turns out, it already comes with an extra patty but my lovely server made sure I wanted the third. I demolished all 3, and I think they ended up comping the third patty for me? If not, it was still worth it! Definitely a hearty meal. Phenomenal! Iāll try anything with kimchi and it did not disappoint. Was eyeing up a few other burgers on their menu. Will be back again to try the rest, although Iām already convinced they have the best burgers in the area! Competition should watch out.

Great atmosphere, amazing and filling food. Personally loved the pepper jack Mac and cheese! This place is open and most people donāt know! Please check it out! Only recently back up after 11 years.
I was really excited to try Retro Burger, especially since every time I wanted to go it was closed. However, it didnāt really thrill me like I was hoping. While the burgers were interesting, they left little to the imagination. Burgers werenāt prepared to order and the ingredients were lacking. I feel like the for what the prices are, you should get more on the burger.
The interior was nice and it was a fun atmosphere even if they were understaffed. I think they have a great concept but just need a little more.
