Terrible slow service outside. Horribly long wait for takeout, which was lukewarm when we opened it at home. Chili burger had NO CHEESE OR ONIONS! So I paid 18 dollars for a patty and some canned chili with grease oozing out. Sweet potato fries cost extra and were cold and limp.
Never again.

Every single person that works at this place is genuinely phenomenal and it is a vibe that just screams ..HOME out of your home..so so so cool 😎 love it there
