Found this little gem of burger jont in the holiday area of Salt Lake. Had their lunch special (cheese burger and curly fries) and was pleasantly wow! The fries we cooked to a golden crispy brown (you'd be surprised how often this is screwed up) and the burger was done to perfection (not greasy or over cooked)! I also got a side of their Mac& cheese which was on point! Sadly, I didn't know that there was an pulled pork option for this until after I ate... Guess I'll have to go back (such a shame ?)!The staff (owner) came out to my table to personally ensure that everything was great and was extremely nice (this alone is why I give it the review I do). Keep it up guys, you're killing it!! I'll be back for more!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp directly in front of the main door and the spaces to park in are in the perfect location.

Got a buffalo mac n cheese. It was so watery and oily (watery like the texture because of the oil). It had a single cut up chicken strip with buffalo sauce on top. The portion was decent, but the flavor was just fine. Definitely not worth $16, maybe $8.

Food cost me and the wife $40. The burgers are excessively greasey and the mac and cheese was sub par. I agree with other reviews. Go to mcdonalds.

This place is so unassuming from the outside but the burgers are amazing! Has huge portions and comes with, in my opinion a lot of food for the price. Employee was very nice and got our food out fairly quickly. Not too many people working there though so sometimes it takes a bit longer for your order. Worth the wait for sure!

For a place winning an award from the Utah State Fair we were totally unimpressed. We were the only people there when we had lunch. Bacon Cheese Burgers were very plain with what looked like Costco bacon crumbles out of a bag and a cold piece of cheese on top. The curly fries were the big hit though.Another of our party had the Mac & Cheese and said it was kind of tasteless. On top of the poor food quality it was expensive, $11.99 just for the burger. Fries were all extra. Sorry for the bad review but it was pretty pricey for a mediocre burger. Don’t think we’ll return just for the fries.

My husband and I split the 15 boneless wings and a side of both curly fries and mac and cheese and it was PLENTY for the 2 of us! We were both super satisfied with the quantity of food and the flavors were great!Best of luck to this rising business ?

Good food but slightly pricy. I would definitely go again. It is an up and coming local gem. I loved the diner atmosphere.

Let's just say don't waste your time. Go to McDonald's it tastes better as far less expensive and that's sad! My burger lacked flavor and was overly salted on one side. The lettuce as you can see was rotten. The french fries tasted like they picked them up out of the dumpster Arby's and tried to reheat them in a microwave. They were soggy... I was the only person in the restaurant in the middle of what should be lunch. Staff was not exactly friendly (only one person) after I dropped my trash in the garbage, he didn't even bother to ask. How was your meal or thanks for coming in. None of that... This place will be out of business soon hopefully! Oh did I mention it was $18.60 without a tip for a hamburger fries and a drink! Wow If you want an amazing burger and fries head west and go to Patty shack.

Ambiance is pretty depressing the orange color is almost worse than the brown color Dairy Queen had when they were here. They charge a 4% processing fee even when you pay cash or debit I would expect that for credit cards but not cash or debit. The floor was sticky around the soda machine and the tea tastes like tap water. There was Mac and cheese sauce all over the cheese container which gave me a suspicious feeling that's how the rest of the cooking area is maintained/cleaned. Like a lot of the reviews say the French fries taste like old cooking oil and were very stale wouldn't be surprised if they were left out overnight, burger was okay a little to much salt for me and not enough seasoning. 20 dollars for a double bacon cheeseburger with slightly better quality of a McDonalds isn't worth it.

Ate here for the first time yesterday and loved it. I got the buffalo Mac and cheese and it was delicious! The service was great and I will definitely be back!

Hello there! I went here recently and I wanted to share my thoughts.Let's start with the pros:The classic Mac and cheese was really good. It almost tastes like mixing Mac and cheese with curry. It's creamy and delicious. The fry sauce is also delicious, and the burger patty was flavorful. The buns were also good. The staff here are very friendly (You'll most likely only see one or two of them) but they were very helpful. The restaurant is also surprisingly clean despite the lack of staff.And now the cons. Oh boy there are cons.The fries were bland and chewy. My jaw actually hurt from how chewy they were. They were not good. The burger was also very dry. The burgers were around $10-$15. Really pricey for the unfortunate quality I was given. The area is a very hard place to get to, it's in the corner of a scary-looking strip mall. Parking is confusing and the place is shady as hell. There are also very little signs for the place, the only way we were able to find it was because of the food truck up front. In order to park, you have to go behind the entire strip mall, then walk all the way back around. The restaurant itself has little to no atmosphere. I don't quite blame them since they're most likely just starting out, but the area just felt really shady. Finally, the tea was disgusting. I'm guessing they most likely forgot to refill it. It was not worth the long drive over. The Mac and Cheese was delicious, but we are most likely not coming back here. I'm sure if there was another location that is easier to get to we would go back just for the Mac and Cheese.Parking: Closer to the restaurant, there is only 60 minute parking. You have to go all the way around for regular parking.
