It has been a couple years since the restaurant opened and it looked like the menu has changed so we decided to give it a try just for a carryout. I used their online system to order and it was pretty easy. The online system did not tell you exactly how long it was going to take and I wasn't quite ready that it took 45 minutes. It was a Monday night. But I was really looking forward to my burger. I got the Outlander Smashburger and it was pretty tasty. However it was just too small. I'm not a big guy but the burger was mostly bun and if I'm going to pay 15 - so charge me $16, charge me $18 whatever - but I don't want to finish a meal and be hungry. The Patties on this burger were just too small. Too dainty. It's a good thing we had some leftover corn at home. I just wanted a good, filling burger:(

The place was busy, but the service was impressive. The menu is perfect for families that like unique foods and people who just want a smash burger. The "outsider sauce" needs to be bottled and sold!!

Had the Backyard with Onion Rings. My wife had two Chicken Tenders. Both were very good! It is kind of a service yourself in a sort. And seemed to be geared more to the younger crowd with the pinball machines.

My wife and I have been to this restaurant a few times. The smash burgers are very good and it's nice to have a relaxing place to sit outside when the weather is nice. No real traffic noise to speak of, as the restaurant is basically in a triangle of streets coming together, but none of the streets are busy. It's a nice spot. The burgers and beer are good, the only problem is how long it takes to get your food. We went there last Monday. There was one table taken outside and four tables taken inside. We stepped right up to the counter - with no line, no one standing around waiting and the girl behind the counter picked up a small sign from the counter that said "40 minute wait". Now, this is for lunch. Who waits 40 minutes for lunch?? Not us. We left. My wife and I wracked our brains trying to think how there could be a forty minute wait for lunch. Was the cook out to lunch?Does the staff just not want to work? I don't know. Dumbfounded and hungry on a Monday in Manistee. Ended up at the Painted Lady where we ate two wonderful Reubens and were done eating in thirty minutes.
