The burger i got was delicious... a plane old bacon cheese burger with nothing but ketchup... the meat crumbles to the bite...not at all dry... you can taste the fire they grilled it on. As for the Buffalo wings... they were a bit more spicier that I would have liked... but still good... to top it off they have a apple pie cheesecake... when I tell you that it has to be one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had.. it was the perfect combination of apple pie flavor and cheesecake texture.... this was my wife's favorite burger place during her 3 month contract... thank you guys for making my wife happy and taking care of her... we will see you next time!.

Incredibly noisy they need some type of noise deading features on the ceiling you can't hear yourself think if it is a full house.

Very very slow service. Guests seated 1/2 hr after us received their appetizer and dinner while we were still waiting for our dinner. At 1hr and 10 min we paid for our beverage and left. Our waiters response was “do you have a reservation?” He didn’t recognize that he had waited on us and took our order

Staff is super friendly and genuinely seem to like being there and with each other. It doesn't have a ton of tables but there's plenty of parking. The drinks are really good. The service wasn't super speedy, but it wasn't terrible and the food is 100% worth it because it ended up being very skillfully prepared. Some places say roasted and you get charcoal, this place says roasted and you get **perfectly roasted**.
Whoever roasted those brussels sprouts I had tonight deserves an award. Absolutely perfect. No bitterness from the part that usually gets burnt. And they were perfectly cooked, the middle was tender while the outside stayed crisp. The kimchi was a great addition. They drained it so the sprouts stayed crisp, it tasted fermented but not sour. Just super skillful flavors. And you'd expect with such strong flavors that it could easily have been an overwhelming dish, but they co-existed really nicely and I was still able to taste the beet salad and corn fritters after.
The whole preparation seemed very careful and considered. There were red onions on the burger I got but they were thinly sliced and not overpowering. The feta on the beet salad was really nice and seemed hand crumbled by a cheese lover! Everything was so nicely balanced without any sort of pretense. Lovely food.
Vegetarian options: I accidentally had an entirely vegetarian meal there tonight. All the vegetarian options sounded amazing and the friend I was eating with likes veggies too. So we ordered with our hearts (2 apps, a salad and a dinner that we split) and I was filling this review out I realized we didn't get any meat in our food. Couple had cheese but no animal flesh. So yeah, great vegetarian options (not a ton of vegan though).
Parking: Parking is kinda odd. There are spots that kind of stick out, there aren't a ton of spots but there are more spots than tables so you should be able to park no problem. Just take it easy leaving since there are spots you can't easily see.
Wheelchair accessibility: The bathrooms are very small. However, at least one of the doors is flush with the ground. I only noticed it because it felt weird to not have to step up to get through it. Like a grocery store entrance. And there are several designated spots and the whole front of it has a cement walkway (again, like a grocery store). They have a bunch of tables and booths in an open room (might have been initially designed as a show room or something?). The tables are small and easily repositioned. Because it's so open with no sound dampening it does get loud quickly. But overall it was easy to get in and out of.

The food was good but the desserts were disappointing. They were very small for the price ( cheesecakes) and when the Hummingbird cake came it looked like someone ate 1/2 the piece and then they served it to us.
Our wait staff was delightful and helpful.
It did get really loud when the restaurant filled up.
