    Just got burgers to go. You should be ashamed to charge what you do for this food. I've had decent meals there in the past but tonight it's over cooked and fries are too greasy to eat. Sorry but $63 for 3 burgers and sides is ridiculous. Wasted my money

    It was really good just when we got here. No one greeted us even though there was someone making a milkshake. He didn’t say anything to us, just expected someone to greet us but besides that it was real good.

    In most modern kitchens, meaning post sixteenth century, a burger can be cooked in about 3-7 minutes. However, if one is trying to very delicately work with the beef, a twelve minute time, allotment could be made as an exception.When mixed with care. This establishment's main "chef" however, is able to cook wonderful morsels of food in twenty to thirty minute increments in between treating his front desk clerk like a servant barking loud enough for the entire establishment to know that he did not get what he wanted for Christmas. A very tough looking demeanor he seems more focused on the bandana he is wearing than creating an atmosphere that you would actually enjoy dining in. We even saw this wonderful human poke his fellow employees with a fork while the young man was trying to pull food from his service window. Way back burger is a wonderful name for this place.As if you would like a burger, it's apparently way in the back which is why it takes so long for them to cook it. Either that or sparky just enjoys his job so much he wants everyone else to feel it. * I will add that tater tots should always be served crispy. Unless your culinary skills involve the word, "hungry man" which you consider as a spice. Tater tots served at this place sadly, disappoint, especially when you order them with your party and they show out thirty five minutes later soft. The good news is the milkshakes here also are made with questionable ingredients. So if you're looking for a complete colon exfoliation after the holidays this is the place for you!

    The food was horrible and cold. Fries were dark because of the grease. Waited 30+ min for tots. Got a milkshake that tasted like old milk and metallic. We overheard a wanna be chef in the back who was sooo demeaning to the guy working the floor. The cooks don’t know how to function under any type of pressure. 10 people in the store and they yell out that everyone needs to know it’ll be a 20 min wait.

    Burger was good but not great, just needs little more salt. Patty tastes plain. But my main issue is the owner or manager, he makes the staff say 2 walking in chef, 2 orders chef, 2 patties chef. I have been at some of the best restaurants in Florida and real chefs who create masterpieces don’t require staff to say chef so much. It’s unnecessary and takes the atmosphere down. This is a burger joint, they make sandwiches. Food isn’t an original creation or anything worthy of chef being yelled out with every action made. Bosses like that make for a bad work environment and experience for employees. My brother is a very respected chef at one of the most popular restaurants in Florida, celebrities from all over travel just to this restaurant and get special dishes made to order with a display like you have never seen. That’s a chef, flipping burgers and adding toppings doesn’t fall into that category. Makes the customers feel bad for the employees making a it seem like all the staff is in trouble if they don’t follow these rules. But props to the staff for keeping a straight face and pushing through the arrogance. Other than that good place for quick bite to eat, nothing special just decent burgers.
