Busy weekend we stopped based on a local recommendation. Very pleasent and open environment. We got a table immediately after being very pleasantly greeted. The waitress asked for a drink order promptly. We had water and ordered hamburger plates. The kitchen was open and visible from the dining room. The food smells were amazing and amped up our hunger. The food arrived in a reasonable time frame. The food was presented very simple and easy to see the very fresh additions to the hamburger. The food was so delicious and good quality. The bacon was cooked perfect and not greasy at all. The pickles crisp and fresh. The burger was cooked perfect. We didnt order any sides. Definitely very fresh well prepared food. Staff appeared happy and it showed with great service. There is a small bar in the rear of the resturant. There was a few TVs with sports and a small group sitting at the bar. Very unique

Ordered a kids meal for my kid and it was absolutely not okay. Just chips and cheese everything was hard like they baked the cheese to the chips expected my kid to eat it knowing how the kids are in this generation. It’s simply not what she wanted. This has always been a great spot for dinner, but tonight was no good and the owner/manager made the experience even worse as he exited the table and said I’m glad you won’t be returning

The chili special was simply delicious. A bit bougie as far as chili goes, but the complexity of flavor was pleasant. They forgot my asado chicken taco order. When it did arrive, it was flavorful.
