Best burger and clam chowder we've ever had! The chicken club was delicious as well! Love supporting local, not tourist traps.

Great bar food. Very distinct dive bar smell, BUT softest toilet paper in town and the bathroom is always clean. Staff is always amazing.

Been here twice now and from what i’ve observed both times, The bald bartender is always in a foul mood. Just based on the responses to others comments, this might just be how he is unfortunately + Drinks are mid.

Just prepare for that when you come in, if your having a good night … you’ll probably leave pissed off lol 👍🏽

Update: lol thanks for the reply, you proved my point! 😆

Nice little hole in the wall bar downtown.
Away from the hussle of everyone in the heart of downtown. Just a short walk from the busy area of Pikes Market.

Food was really good! Portion size was just right. The only bummer was we felt our onion ring portion was really small. But overall, the food was really good!
We had fish n chips and burgers, I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger. The clam chowder soup was delicious!

The situation: 2 VERY sleep deprived adults and 2 teenagers.... all 4 can't agree on what sounds good for lunch We arrived in town an hour ago at nearby hotel and searched for a lunch place... Wife found this and it seemed to have a bit of something for everyone.

The review: my 17 y/o son and I are passionate about burgers and enjoy trying them at places that claim great burger status. Retro doesn't toot their own horn too loudly about it, but very casually State in the menu that the beef blend is fresh daily from Pike's.... They should be more proud of this burger! Full disclosure I love condiments.... I sometimes use food just as a way to get condiments to my face as it is socially unacceptable to just drink shota of BBQ sauce or wing sauce. The basic burger here comes with just mayo, lettuce, dill slices, tomato, and I got grilled onions on it. They do not try to overwhelm you with an oversized burger to make up for lack of content, they serve you a generously portioned patty ( as thick as my fat thumb) that is cooked to a Perrrrrrfect medium/medium rare.... From edge to edge, not just in the middle, it is perfect (see photo). I took a few bites fully expecting to be grabbing my favorite red and yellow burger condiments for the rest of it, but I didn't. The seasoning and flavor of this patty beg you just to let it speak for itself and it does so. Fries are quite good as well, and it all paired on this 81 degree day with one of their house raspberry lemonades (adult version) perfectly. The wife had a chicken Caesar, and we would also recommend the BLT and onion rings. It's casual. They have great local beers and a full bar. Pool tables and TV's... Check and check. Highly recommend you get your lunch burger fix here anytime! And a special thanks to Floyd the bartender for his guidance and stekar have behind the bar!
