Smashburger and fries are amazing! I love sitting in the bar area. The help is great and look for HH and other specials. You won’t be disappointed.

I came here twice in a week moving my son to a downtown apartment. Had the grain bowl the first time and a smash burger with fries the second. Amazing food - grain bowl was enough for two meals, and it was the best burger and fries I think I've ever had. Fries are the right amount of crispy. Get the cookie too. Service was prompt and friendly, and there's three different atmospheres to choose from - outside, bar, or atrium. Highly recommend!!

The staff was extremely friendly and we were seated without a wait. Food was good, but a little pricey. My 12 year old and I went and had a good time. I probably won't be back though as $60-70 for lunch is a bit much for me when we can get similar food at Culver's for much less. But if you're looking for something fun to do or a new restaurant to try, definitely check it out! Clean, kid friendly, nice outdoor seating, hamburgers and fried foods.

Unacceptable behavior from some of their staff members. Me and my family went there to celebrate my birthday. It was 12 of us, all adults and a little girl. We requested to sit together outside. The waitress said we have to sit in separate tables which we did. One of the table was big enough for 6 people the rest of us were asked to sit in small separate tables. We asked if the small tables can be together. That was All we asked. The manager comes out and said we are not allowed to do that and after we said what is the reason she said because I said so. She told us we are not going to serve you, you can leave “ thank you” It was such a terrible feeling to get all my family to leave without being able to eat. I am in the restaurant business myself and I understand everything about customer service but this was the worse experience I had in the front of my family. I hope the owner will talk to the staff and make sure they behave appropriately with their customers without making them feel terrible.

The most Racist restaurants ever! They refused to serve our family of 10 because they didn’t want to put 3 tables together on the patio. Even when we said we would eat at separate tables with separate checks, they said we have made a decision! This is only because of our race and the fact that we spoke with an accent, This place is disgusting!

We initially came as a group of people and got separate tables. When we asked to combine two tables for the other part of the group, we were told we could not and the explanation of the waitress was “because I said so.” We were then told by the manager that it’s a fire hazard to combine the tables (which we had already done for one of the tables) and then rudely told us they would not be serving us due to nothing but their laziness and egos. Apparently to the staff and managers it makes more sense to lose 13 paying customers than to combine two tables. Other restaurants next door had no problem combining two tables. Maybe they should train the staff to learn how to do that before kicking people out. And on top that they said thank you after telling us to leave.

Portion sizes were unexpectedly small. Atrium seating is great and our server was attentive.
