It looks like you can even buy the books here. They also have some small bites and mocktails in addition to craft cocktails. I got their take on the old fashioned, which included orange and chocolate biscotti liqueur and cherry syrup. It was definitely more sweet than a typical old fashioned, however I enjoyed it, and it was prepared very well--spirit heavy. This was a nice sipper and service was great, no complaints!

It was a dollar up charge for a side of ranch, which she didn't tell us about. I had a side salad and it was good. It is a dollar up charge from the other sides. Friend had the pasta salad and said it was good. Her hubby had the coleslaw and it was OK. It probably bothers me more than my husband, but she comes and picks up our dishes and even had the bill ready while my husband was still eating. You might have a chance to sell another drink if you took your time. The place was not overly busy. All in all, it was a nice place to go on the smash burgers were terrific!

We were initially curious how loud the street would be but were pleasantly surprised it wasn't loud. There was music playing at a good volume too. I could not decide what I wanted to order so I asked the waitress to choose for me. She thought that was a fun option and said she'd definitely go with the Sunset Smash and Fries. The only change I made was no pickles. My friend wanted as many pickles as they'd give her so we got mine on the side for her to have. Wow, was that Sunset Smash burger and fries good! The burger was juicy, tender, flavorful, honestly just delicious! The fries were thick with just the right amount of crisp and salt. Our waitress continued to appropriately check in on us as we ate and chatted. The only thing I'd love to be different is for our kids to be able to come. It's minors only and I know we'd all love the food there. Definitely coming back!
