Ahhh. Well they don't have the turnovers but they do have the tile. We went there on our way to a concert at White River Amphitheater. This is one of the cleanest fast food type establishment I have been to, period. I had looked at the menu before we got there and had already decided on the Halibut and Chips. Well I was not disappointed. 3 nice size, nicely done pieces of fish. Batter was nothing too special though not too thick and nice and crispy. Fish was tender and moist! Crinkle frys were done a bit crispy and held the fry sauce nicely. The single cheese burger was better than most. Just sloppy enough to need to wipe your face but not greasy. The Deep Fried Mushrooms were ok. They were a bit greasy and lacked flavor. They tasted like, well Mushrooms!! All told it was a great experience and we will go back. The menu has a pretty good selection of food. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a bit noisy for me but not a deal breaker!

I'm not a burger person but my husband really wanted burgers, and with the pretty good reviews I thought it couldn't go wrong. Well my husband really disliked his burger. And he's a total burger fan. Normally you can go wrong with a classic burger , but he said it was tasteless, and overcooked. I gave a two star because at least I can tolerate the wings and I chose the Korean bbq sauce flavor. It was doused in sauce, and overcooked not juicy at all. Like I said I tolerated it, but my husband couldn't stand them, that we still have half an order sitting in our fridge. I do t like giving new local businesses poor ratings so I gave a 2 instead on a 1. But with so many good dining locations around here, I'm not sure I can spend over 30.00 for burger and wings again.

This spot has horrible customer service, older white lady rolls her eyes and has attitude everytime she is asked something. We've came here three times and she's had the same attitude each time, this time she was being more of an a**hole and rolled her eyes for everything we said. We asked to switch something on our order and she got extremely mad and started being so rude for no reason. Trying to down play us and make it seem like we were dumb for wanting to change something. Then she turned around and started talking badly about us to the other employees, mind you we were being nice the whole time because we didn't understand why she was being so rude to us, we also were raised right and know how to respect others. Definitely think she's racist. Its clear she doesn't like her job so she should just quit, its not the customers fault that she's bitter and doesn't like working there. I definitely do not recommend coming here unless you're trying to deal with b*tchy moods and attitude. read more

So I went here for the first time ever, because my wife saw a sign that this is "the best burger in Auburn" - TOLD them when I ordered that this is my first time here - ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers with fries. When I came home, no fries. And - the burger? Burger King is better, and Burger King isn't even in the top 50% of good burgers. When I called - they said "whether I paid for fries or not, they could write me down in a book to get free fries next time" Great. I get free fries that I paid for. No thanks. I'll pass. read more

So I just went to frugals and they severely disappointed tonight. The only thin that was decent was my chicken burger. Maybe if they did less talking and actually listened to what we ordered they would have gotten it correct. Oh and I just love it when they forget to salt my fries out of the fryer and now instead dump salt straight into the bag with my fries. Can I get some potatoe with my salt. Not even edible....where is the older lady that normally works? At least my sh@t is correct when she is around. read more

I can envision a place like this in backwoods country away from civilization. What's more amazing is that it's in the middle of basically a city, retaining that old charm in a great way.

The whole place was fabulous. Fries don't come with salt, easy enough to add. Had bacon BBQ burger (saved bacon for cat), and seriously one is the best burgers have EVER had, ever.

He got the spicy chicken teriyaki, and I decided (against my better judgment) to try something different and ordered the cheesesteak instead of one of their burgers--which I already know are really good. I should've just stuck with that. The cheesesteak was okay. The meat was tender and the flavor wasn't bad, but it was really dry. By the time I got home, I had to add my own condiments just to make it more enjoyable. It just felt like something was missing. My husband wasn't impressed with the teriyaki either. I didn't try it myself, but he said it wasn't the best he's had and probably wouldn't order it from here again. One highlight though--the peanut butter banana milkshake was delicious. Their milkshakes are definitely a win. Overall, I'd say this place is still worth it, but stick to the burgers--they're what they do best.

The bathrooms were clean here and the restaurant seemed decently maintained. The workers here don't really smile or offer good service but they are efficient from what I can tell.
