The burgers are smash burgers. We did with they had a bit more seasoning but with all the toppings on the burger and dipping them into the fry sauce, they were delicious. Get the onion rings and fries!! They are both AMAZING!! You can either order on a tablet or with a person (love that there was a choice!) and everyone seemed genuinely happy and friendly! The vibes here were cool! They can basically open all the walls up and there is a patio, complete with 2 area fire pits! This place does have alcohol, so grab a drink or milk shake and enjoy the outdoor space!

There were multiple types of tables and seats to choose from. We chose to order on the tablet rather than wait in line to order. The experience using Toast on the tablet was smooth. We got our order numbers and it was easy to keep an eye on the screen to see when the orders would be ready. We also received text notifications. This all happened very quickly! One thing we noticed was that when they called out order numbers, it was fairly loud for the amount of people there at the time. The burger (wagyu brisket jalapeño) and hot honey crispy chicken sandwich that we got were both delicious and just as expected! I loved the shoestring fries since that's my favorite kind of fry. I also thought the fry sauce was the best balance of sweet and tangy. We ordered dessert at the table using the provided QR code and again were able to track when our orders would be ready on the screen. The regular shake and small soft serve cup were the same size - the pictures made it seem like the shake would be bigger but that didn't bother us, just worth noting. I loved the fudge and Oreo crumble on the soft serve! Overall just a solid spot to hangout and have a good burger, fries, and dessert! I'll definitely be back.

The inside has an elevated neighborhood bar vibe, and their outdoor "Pawtio" is such a fun touch--they even have a dog menu! On top of that, the service has been excellent every time. Everyone who works there is welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The food is just as impressive, with a great variety of options. This visit, our group started with the Brussels sprouts, then ordered the Wednesday "Whole Damn Bird" special, the Bourbon Peach & Steak Salad, and the Thai Basil Bowl. Every dish was delicious, and I'd happily order any of them again. Overall, another fantastic meal. I can't wait to come back to check out their brunch and lunch menus!

The Block is an attractive location that includes a restaurant, bar area, and a special outside area for people who want to bring their dogs. (Yes, there is an extensive dog menu, which was not tasted for the purposes of this review -- well, not tasted at all.) I had the Blackened Salmon ($25), which was very attractively presented on a bed of tomatoes, black beans, cucumbers, corn salsa, and an aioli sauce. The salmon was moist and flaky. My wife had the Boasted Chicken Sandwich $17.25 . The sandwich comes with coleslaw, and house pickles on a well-made roll. on a hamburger roll.

The manager came and asked how the meal was and was very pleasant. Prices were reasonable and portions were huge. I highly recommend this establishment and we will come back again.

Then ordered the pistachio crusted walleye BLT with extra lettuce. That was a serious sandwich. Very good but pistachio didn't come out. Everyone attentive and I loved the communication. They had a large party coming in and I had been "camping" while waiting for my dining partner. We agreed to be done before they needed to set up versus changing tables. All good!

They have a decent amount of seating inside and ~5 tables outside. They deliver and bus your tables which is nice for a fast casual spot. Now to the food: the l'ognion burger is a must get. If you maybe possibly at all like caramelized onions - you don't want to miss this. My husband had the traditional Le'burger which was also tasty. We shared a side of the OG fries which were the perfect crispiness. These burgers feel more elevated high end restaurant than traditional fast casual. Easily one of the best burgers in the city!

The space is lovely, bright and natural light everywhere. The only thing that was a little awkward is there not being a lot of space where you order or to get around potential lines forming. I got the good ol' Le Burger and a side of chips and dup. The burger was good, but what a mess. I don't know if I'd go on my lunch break from the office again, worries I'd be wearing half of it back. I could have done with a little less of the sauce to help with making it stay together better. It was still delicious. The chips and dip weren't my favorite, but wouldn't discourage others, just not my jam. I do want to come back for the soft serve sometime as well. I also loved the wrappers, such fun, colorful flair. The burgers are delicious, come check them out for yourself!

We had the heirloom tomato plate and the chicken meatballs. The salad was good but came with an unexpected heat, both temperature and spice, and the meatballs had an unexpected flavor too. Not bad, just surprising. The Pink One cocktail is made with sumac and tastes very different -- fun if you like adventurous drinks. I wasn't a fan of the tonic they use in their G&T, though. Service was very friendly and accommodating, and it's a cute street for meandering before or after. I loved that they brought different flavors, but I wouldn't go back.

Ordered the Boujee Bene which tried to be an elevated dish of tequila flambéed shrimp ceviche on arepas topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. The arepas were actually bland masa corn cakes, so they were thick and dense with no crispness or browning. I asked the server about this and she confirmed they no longer made arepas but hadn't updated the menu. This could have been forgiven if the rest of the dish had any flavor beyond raw onion and garlic. The hollandaise had no flavor either, and they had no salsas or anything else to add other than tobacco and Chahula. The shrimp was minimal and also bland. There was a corn "salsa" (also bland) so that added some texture, but the dish overall was quite disappointing. My friend ordered the farmers table breakfast and said pancakes and Perkins were better. Maybe other meals are better, but brunch was disappointing.

I liked the deviled eggs more than I thought I would. They had a nice crunch and good flavors. I got the boozy French toast, I was a little disappointed that there was no fresh fruit on the menu but the French toast was perfect. The hash browns were a little over cooked for me but overall it was a pretty solid breakfast and we will definitely visit again soon. We utilized a free parking garage during our visit and walked less than a block to dine in.

This place remodeled this year and it is beautiful! Bright and feels more upscale! Love the new vibes! There are multiple seating options from booth to high top, table and bar seats. An absolute "must get" is the burrata! It is so creamy, light and fresh! I loved the flavors! I do wish it came with just a bit more bread! The grilled cheese with tomato soup is an instant hit! It has bbq chips inside for an extra crunch! If you are a fan of truffle fries, these are AMAZING! Definitely worth getting! The Cubano had great flavor and tons of melty cheese!! We will absolutely be back! This place is wonderful!

(They did try to put us at a 6 person booth and had to veto that lol). Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks.

Its the first time trying one & would definitely get it again. I dont enjoy that fries/sides are included with the meal & will usually be my biggest qualm with red cow. Other than that we had a great time as a group and celebrating our friends engagement!

There were only two of us in the restaurant, and while the service was fine, it wasn't particularly attentive or quick. Overall, I'd describe my experience as mid.
