    The smashed burger was cooked to perfection. It was juicy and their house special sauce was a nice complement to their very well seasoned smashed patties. The fries were fresh cut and cooked to perfection and flavorful. My son asked for a side of ranch for dipping. He loved the ranch and said it was the best he has had and made fresh not store bought. I ordered the classic cheeseburger cooked medium. The burger was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I asked for a side of sriracha aioli for dipping that went well with the meal. The server was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back.

    Wonderful pretzel and beer cheese. The beer cheese is like a white queso with an ipa. Very flavorful, unlike any beer cheese I’ve had

    I came here for a baby shower. I am vegan and unfortunately, there was not a single thing on the menu that I was able to order. I ended up just having to get a side of french fries and it was quite expensive at seven dollars for just a side of fries. The service was good and I think in general the atmosphere is OK. I would not go back unless they change their menu to include at least one l vegan option. - additionally their menu does not differentiate between what is vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free and I think people would appreciate that

    Arrived at 8:40pm on a Friday. Wasn’t busy. It took 10 minutes for anyone to greet us at our table. Then it took another 10 minutes to have Diet Coke delivered to the table. 20 minutes total to receive drinks in a dead establishment. Server did not apologize or even acknowledge how long it took to be greeted and served drinks. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    1st time at this location although I live in this city No one in sight at 5:15 pm Red headed women came forward, appeared to be very unhappy and inconvenienced that we came in. I discovered there were plenty of employees there hiding in an empty dining room when I had to ask for directions to the restroom. Our waitress was good. Cocktails were good, food was not good. Flat bread pizza came out of a box just nasty! cauliflower app. was bland and the fries on my friends plate were inedible. 1. When an employee is rude out of the gate leave immediately 2.When a restaurant has 1 table full at 5:15 run. 3. Read current reviews My bad 4. Embarrassement to my community. 5.Where is management
