Made a reservation on app and received a confirmation for our reservation. Drove downtown to the parking lot connected to the restaurant. Paid $10 to get in, and found out the place was not closed. We were there for less than one minute never got in and couldn't get a refund from the parking attendant even after we told him where we were going before we entered the parking lot.Such a disappointment. As we were leaving one of the Park attendance said that their website is not current and up-to-date. SMH

One of the functional standards I have for an excellent cheeseburger is just give me your basic cheeseburger, minimal toppings, and ideally no burger sauces. I ordered the classic and while it did have mayo, ketchup, lettuce and tomato on it with a solid quarter pound patty, the meat on it's own was so perfectly cooked (and halal if that is important to you) that just cheese, meat and bun would have sufficed. Don't let appearances fool you. The location isn't much to look at, basically a takeout booth, but they do have a small seating section that is a mishmash of decorative ideas, some sports, some chess, some other random things. Despite its lack of traditional decorative aspects, there is charm in the way things seem to be part of what the owners genuinely enjoy in life. The food is delicious, and more than just burgers, and the service is courteous, quick and efficient. I think most burger fans will enjoy this spot greatly.
