Most people will be quite satisfied with a single patty burger as the double patty burgers are quite thick. Generally this would have been a solid four star experience, unfortunately they lose points for junk fees. During checkout at the counter, there's a little sticker notifying you of a 3.99% fee to use a credit or debit card. Sigh. As a business owner myself, I love customers that use credit cards and the small fee (much lower than 3.99%) that I pay is well worth it as credit cards actually streamline my backend processing compared to cash or checks.

The hamburger was TO DIE FOR - thick slice ripe tomatoes, fresh crunchy lettuce, crunchy onions, and dill pickles on top of a moist and flavorful steak-like meat burger. The Reuben sandwich was also a hit, with the right amount of meat to sauerkraut mix and REAL crunchy onion rings. And don't even get me started on the fresh cut fries and great southern tea with lemon! The best part? I'd like to say the prices - everything is super affordable!

Today I tried a double cheeseburger with all the fixxins. Burger was a smashed style patty. Thin with a crispy crust outer texture. I did find the burgers to be a tad bit dry. The patties were slightly seasoned and a dash more could have helped. The fixings of pickles and tomatoes was on the order. The tomatoes were paper thin and only provided a transparent appearance but no substantial taste enhancement. Probably ask for extra tomatoes next time to make a tomato slice. Overall the burger was decent with a need of a little more seasoning for the patties and thicker tomatoes. I will give it another try and try a deli sandwich.

We tried a few beers from Five Wits and per her recommendation got the creamsicle shake as well. Solid beverage choices. The shake tasted part float part milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. Would order again. The food on the other hand was a bit eh. We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.
