Tucked in the industrial section of Cutting Blvd, the backyard is worth a weekend stop. From the…read moregravelled parking lot to the old sofas, live music, and a food trailer on what was once an abandoned lot, I loved this family- and dog-friendly spot. There are even games in the yard. A real surprise was the food. I had the avocado toast it was tasty, I would order it again. When I tasted the beef Philly I was ready to order one to go, but they had sold out. The rest of my friends had burgers, the vegetarian had fries, even the dog had a pup patty, and everyone enjoyed the food The music was almost too loud; however, because the stage is outside, it was not too uncomfortable. We heard two different bands. The loud music did make it hard to have a conversation. A word of warning that does not affect my rating: bees and yellow jackets are everywhere. There is nothing that the Backyard can do to keep these pests out of the yard.

First time coming here, it was soooooo good. My boyfriend got the Marina Bay Burger was soooo good…read moreit was just juicy enough and the grilled onions were cooked to perfection. While I got the Keller Beach Chicken Burger was also so good the chicken in other places is usually pretty dry but here it was just as juicy with all fresh veggies to go with it was amazing. Also we had our two dogs with us today the fact that they sell patties for dogs was a nice surprise our dogs enjoyed a quick snack with us. While yes there are no indoor seatings there are some outdoor seating with shade for a nice sunny day, listening to live music watching some others dance. It was a relaxing area to have as a hangout either by yourself, your partner or even as a group. I truly loved going to this place and definitely coming back!

Have passed by here a few times in my life and barely went to this location. I recently went here…read moretwo times... and I gotta say it was worth the trip. It was a lowkey spot and it seemed to be a sit in turned take-out after COVID. Really small and neat with stickers of local businesses. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake, and everything was fresh and made to order. Fries were not cold and leave salt and pepper packets to your liking. The burger was fresh and didn't feel frozen. The shake was nothing to brag about but it hit the spot. The service was 10/10 with polite staff! The ambiance was amazing too!

Standard order comes with Miracle Whip, I was too chicken to try it and went with regular mayonnaise instead. I'm willing to come back and give Miracle Whip a try, but if I comeback, I'm definitely getting a double burger or trying a Phila Burger. 4.1/5 Garlic fries were ok. Order came with a dollop of minced garlic, would have preferred if it had been tossed for a more even coating. 3.3/5 The absolute highlight of this visit was the service. Being my first visit, the cashier was incredibly patient and took extra time to go through the menu with me and giving recommendations. But this was not an isolated incident. In the short 10 minutes I was there, I watched as this cashier welcome back a old regular, give a child a small to-go cup of ice cream, and patiently work with a customer as they were experiencing technical payment difficulties. Phila Burger is shining light of what a local, small business should be in a community. I will gladly be returning.

We decided to give this place another try after having a bad experience with their takeout 5 years…read moreago - it was during the pandemic so we figured maybe by now they'd found their footing. Unfortunately the food was just as bad and overpriced as the first time, I really don't understand how this place is so well reviewed. We both ordered 310 Burgers, one on the regular brioche bun and one on a lettuce wrap. The lettuce wrap came in two steamed, wilted pieces of iceberg, while the brioche bun was untoasted, foamy-textured and soggy. Both medium burgers had the consistency of boiled meatballs. The bacon jam was decent, but the overall experience was wildly unappetizing. We also both got plain fries, which were somehow greasy and dry at the same time, and instantly turned stale as they cooled down. We really hoped for this place because it's conveniently located, and all the other decent burger spots nearby have closed, but sadly we won't be giving 310 Eatery a third try.

If you're walking or driving by hungry, it will stop you in your tracks. When I want a real burger, the kind that actually tastes like it came off a mesquite grill, this is the place. The flavor is completely different. Smoky, juicy, simple, and done right. Big portions, no nonsense. Just burgers and fries the way they're supposed to be. The fried mushrooms are so good. Add jalapeños to your burger, game changer. 100% recommend if you're craving a true, no frills, mesquite grilled burger.

If you're craving a classic burger done right, this is exactly the kind of place you're looking…read morefor. No gimmicks, no over-the-top toppings--just the fundamentals executed really well. The patties have that unmistakable smoky char, the kind you can literally smell as soon as you step into the parking lot. It's the kind of aroma that immediately tells you that you made the right choice. This definitely isn't a spot for the health-conscious, but that's part of the appeal. Everything feels unapologetically indulgent. You can hear the constant sizzle from the grill and the bubbling rush of oil when a fresh batch of fries hits the fryer, it adds to the whole, old-school burger joint experience. And don't skip the pineapple milkshake. It's surprisingly good, with small chunks of pineapple throughout that give it real texture instead of just flavoring. Every now and then you get a bright pop of acidity and sweetness that cuts through the richness, which makes it a lot more interesting than your typical shake.

Both the fried and taters come very lightly salted, and there are salt packets you can grab to add to taste. The Mac and cheese has a nice smoky flavor from the bacon, and I appreciate that it comes in a to-go container. Casual spot with order and pick up at the counter. Nothing in particular to note about service, they were nice. Plenty of comfortable seating inside. I would come back here for the quality of the food alone, but what really makes this place stand out is the affordability, especially for the sides. I'm excited to visit again and bring some friends along.

I decided to order it for lunch one day through Door Dash and I've been back about 5 times now! I told my bf about it and it became his new favorite place! I've tried the beef shawarma plate, chicken mendi, and chicken wrap; while my boyfriend tried the chicken shawarma plate. It was all amazing!!! They even come with garlic sauce and spicy sauce, which are really good! The chicken wrap is super long and about the size of my bf's forearm! Everything we've had so far has been delicious and the portions are really filling. Their hummus also tastes very fresh; I love it! I tried to order their chicken mendi before, but it was sold out and wasn't available at the time I wanted to pick up. I guess it's only available at certain times throughout the day? I finally tried it a few days ago and it was so moist and tender; it fell off the bone! The owners are super friendly and they even give complimentary tea! Halal King is truly a hidden gem and I hope more people find out about it!

As I was waiting for my meal this time, I literally opened my mouth to ask the person I was with if they remembered the owner yelling when we were there last and before I could even speak, he started doing exactly that. He does not seem to care at all that guests can see and hear everything he's saying. So I can't really imagine how he treats them when there aren't any customers. Something he should definitely consider going forward, because I see I'm not the only person to mention this in the reviews.

Thankfully I was hungry when I ordered it because by the time I took my last bite, I was extremely full, yet satisfied! And I MUST add that the service here is exemplary! Courteous does not begin to explain how nice the order taking experience was for me as a customer. It was nice, accommodating, and genuine. I love this level of service. Washed down a side a French fried bean with a cold Coke. What a meal!

Quick service. I didn't eat outside but there's a few tables there. Nonetheless, I ate my food and it was good. The garlic fries weren't oily or soggy. The burger was massive, though I would suggest not playing the piece of lettuce on the bottom. The shake was good too. I'll be back soon to try out other menu items.
