They have a great selection of burgers and hot dogs with options to customize your bun, toppings, and doneness. We ordered two classic cheeseburgers on brioche rolls and split an order of the loaded fries. The food quality was great! The ingredients were fresh and much better than you would get at a chain restaurant. The loaded fries were filling and delicious too! I also appreciated that my well-done burger was juicy, but wasn't greasy. My husband and I will definitely be back the next time we're craving a quality burger and fries!

Stumbled upon this spot after a coffee run and exploration day in the area. I immediately went to…read moreyelp and saw they had 1k reviews so thought why not give it a try. And we needed something quick as traveling with a baby equals time crunch. So let's get to it. There's a small parking lot and seating inside and out (picnic style tables). I got sliders and my significant other got a personalized burger. In addition we also got chili cheese fries and tater tots. We had to get this to go so I was quite happy with the temperature and taste when we got home. Surprisingly all the food maintained its quality and warmth on a 20 min ride. We both really enjoyed the burgers and I was surprised by the sliders. Most sliders don't fill me and I feel it's always missing something. These mini burgers were super filling and felt like I didn't have to miss eating a big burger. We both enjoyed our sides. I think my significant other heated up the fries later in the evening and said it was still pretty good. I myself reheated my one mini burger I had left and it still tasted like I just got it recently. Hoping to visit again and try more items when I can.

Then -- like a slow-loading website -- the flavors finally kicked in. By the end, I got it. Would I order it again? Maybe. Would I complain about it to someone my age? Absolutely. The place is trendy. Possibly too trendy. The kind of spot where the chairs are stylish but you're not sure they care about your lower back. That said, the bartender absolutely saved the experience. Great personality, sharp sense of humor, fast as hell, and clearly running the show. She stayed busy the entire time and still managed to make everyone feel taken care of -- which is a rare skill these days. Service was quick, food was solid once it found itself, and the bartender deserves a raise or at least a medal. Good stop for a layover bite. Trendy, yes. But I survived -- and that's saying something.

The smoky, charred flavor hits you in every bite, and the burgers are massive -- packed with protein, perfectly sauced, and clearly made by someone obsessed with getting it right. Even my wife, who usually doesn't care for burgers, is all in on these. We've worked our way through the Roadhouse, Original, Jalapeño Jack, and Cowboy. They somehow look even better in person than they do in the photos, and the flavor matches the presentation. And the sides? Unreal. The fries, truffle fries, and Brussels sprouts are all top‑tier. The fries especially are something special. Honestly, these are the best burgers we've ever had -- in the U.S. or anywhere else. You can feel the passion behind every plate. (The owner is frequently there so you know they care about quality!)

Very good customer service, especially by the management team and they were very present and made sure that I was enjoying my experience dining there. The ambiance was very relaxing and not noisy or chaotic. I really appreciated that because that is hard to find nowadays. Also, the table was set well and it was very clean throughout the dining area. I had their Roasted Wild Mushroom and Swiss Burger. It was very good. I loved that they use Pat La Frieda beef for their burger patties, the mushrooms were so flavorful from the balsamic vinegar, the Jarlsberg Swiss cheese had a nice mild cheesy touch, and their truffle aioli was the best savory sauce to complement it all. 9.5/10 for the burger and 10/10 for the customer service. I definitely will be back soon.

Yummy! Bella was our server and cordial. There was a mix up on delivery but the next table and us cracked up laughing.
