    Free peanuts! If you order a small fry, they shove a bunch of fries in your bag... I recommend you bring some kind of aioli cuz I don't think they have any.. It's such a great price to just buy individual patties... Or just add a Patty to your burgers. One burger patty is like $3 or so. One burger comes with two Patty's and is like $13

    They do great simple burgers, but the main reason I love this place is the fries are the closest thing in the US to English chips.

    I was not greeted when I walk in and the bathrooms were so gross as well as the dining room, they need the proper teamwork if they won’t be able to handle it specially with the hygiene. food was whatever
