Pictures just don't do it justice. There must have been a pound of meat on things lol. They were also VERY good. They have special sauces, specialty sandwiches and bagels brought in from New York. They make doughnuts and pastries that we will have to try another time since we were stuffed. These folks deserve a try. The place is super clean with a few outdoor tables and bottles of sodas/teas. They have Pepsi products is the only bummer, but I can handle a Mountain Dew every now n then.

She had the Mama N and we split halves. The Mama N has a sweet sauce. These are some generous sandwiches with stacks of meat. I should have asked if they made the bread (which I kind of assumed they did) but forgot. There are a few tables inside (and one outside) for seating.

I'm almost stubbornly picky when it comes to burgers. I call myself a burger connoisseur not as a…read morejoke but as a lifestyle, because I've tasted enough of them to know when a place gets it right. Tidy Jon's absolutely gets it right. This spot is tucked away so quietly that you could drive past it a dozen times without realizing you've just missed one of the best burgers in the area. It has that "if you know, you know" energy, and now that I've tried it, I'm determined to bring more eyes and more love to it. The burger itself is everything a great burger should be: juicy without being messy, seasoned perfectly, and cooked with the kind of confidence that comes from truly knowing your craft. The bun holds up beautifully and the toppings are balanced--not doing too much, not doing too little. Every bite feels intentional, satisfying, and almost nostalgic, like someone finally made the burger you always wished every other place could match. And then there was the surprise: the homemade onion soup. I only noticed it because it was advertised right on the door as I walked in, and I'm so glad I did. It tasted like something made in a real kitchen by someone who cares. Deep flavor, slow-cooked richness, and that savory warmth that makes you feel like you found the right place on the right day. It's rare for a burger spot to also nail a classic soup, but they did. Tidy Jon's is the kind of hidden treasure people talk about in foodie groups the kind that eventually becomes legendary once enough folks discover it. Friendly atmosphere, memorable food, and a menu that shows real care. I'm already planning my next visit, and if you consider yourself a burger lover in any capacity, you should too.

I have been wanting to try this place for ages and finally got down here today…read more The outside is like I expected, but the interior? Pictures don't do it justice. Walking in, there was a board with seasonal specials (food and drink), as well as a joke. The decor was beautiful, such a great vibe. A gentleman greeted me and sat me on the less busy side of the restaurant. Then he noticed I was wearing a dress and quickly offered to seat me on the other side, where it was warmer. But I declined and sat on the left side with the bakery case. There was one other occupied table on my side, but it was a large group. My server, Melanie ( great name, BTW), immediately greeted me and asked me what I'd like to drink. I asked for a glass of water, and the Snickers coffee. Ended up choosing the breakfast tacos, and the order of candied bacon. The bacon was the most delicious thing I've put in my face hole. Sweet and spicy and salty and crunchy and chewy. Melanie laughed when I commented on it so glowingly. She also offered up that they've got a bacon cheeseburger with this bacon on it, and waffles as the buns. My tacos came out a little after the bacon, which was perfect. They were much heftier than I expected. I was only able to finish one, and brought the other two home. Also delicious. Chorizo, scrambled eggs, toppings, sour cream, and salsa. NOM. I'm not much for sweets, but couldn't help passing by the bakery case, because everything looked so good. This is a wonderful place. Excellent service from start to finish, reasonable prices, and cool decor. I've definitely got to come back again, bring my kids, and try more of the menu.

In this way, i rounded it down. Nonetheless, expect excellent experiences if you come to this establishment.
