This place is definitely way overhyped…read more If you like your burger cooked well, then I believe this place is ok. but for me, that dries out all of the flavor of the burger. My preference is juicy cheeseburger, not dry burger. There was a huge line when we were there, but the line moved pretty quickly; however, there was very limited seating inside, so you might have to get this burger to go. Since it was so busy, the restaurant wasn't the cleanest of all places. They do have a bathroom, but that is also in need of some work. There really aren't yes many places to eat out around this town, so I think it is worth a try, but for me it was a no.

We had to wait outside a bit for a table. It was pretty annoying to be kicked off the wifi for no reason halfway through and having to rejoin though The servers were nice, though we barely interacted with them aside from ordering and them delivering our food. The food and drinks came out pretty fast, which was nice Overall a good place, my only complaint being the wifi issue and the fact that the bathroom feels like its in the backrooms of a supply closet

Our server recommended 3 appetizers and 2 entrees to split between the 3 of us so we got: Poke nachos (4/5): really good ahi just wish there was more of it but flavorful Fijian ceviche (5/5): tasty, fish was fresh and we liked the coconut touch with green sauce Pork ribs (4/5): not too sweet and was pretty tender but not fall off the bone. We liked how it came with a finger wash. Lamb curry (3/5): I liked the veg in the curry and it was a good consistency but the lamb was gamey for me. Does not come with rice so we got one scoop to share Crab boil over (4/5): reminded us of a tom yum, a bit sour/zesty with coconut. It was different and we enjoyed it. Really friendly and attentive service! If you're craving Asian fusion it's a solid spot in QT
