Okay so let’s see here… Sick Rooftop? Check. Fires on rooftop? Check. City view? Check. On site brewery with fresh beer? Check. Top level burgers and fries? Check… I mean do I need to keep going? Or are you already putting these coordinates in your phone.
This is my review from a few weeks ago :
My buddy and I went in there for lunch expecting what I remembered over the years of coming here and got something completely different. I didn’t want a hamburger just a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup and my buddy got a turkey club and it took them almost an hour and a half to make our food despite us being one the only few people there. when I got my tomato soup, it was lukewarm and it also was basically ketchup with a bit of spice in it. I have a picture of ketchup and the soup side-by-side, and they literally tasted the same. Tomato soup is a fairly easy dish to make and I love a good tomato soup and this was ketchup.
When I came in, none of the bartenders smiled, greeted me, or acknowledged me, even though they saw me walk in and sit at the bar. They weren’t busy, just chatting with one another. After several minutes of sitting there, a woman, Laura, finally approached me. She didn’t give any food or drink recommendations, or offer a menu, so I had to ask.
When I asked about the wifi, she gave me the wrong password the first time. Of course, I had to wait a couple of minutes to get her attention before asking again, and then she gave me the correct password.
From the cocktail menu, I ordered the Lemon Drop, but it had salt on the rim (which ruined it for me). Every place I’ve ordered a Lemon Drop, they first ask if I want salt on the rim. I wanted to order food, but I was ignored and walked by several times. She had no problem giving other customers attention and chatting with them.
Several minutes go by, and I finally get to order the BBQ Cheeseburger. I asked for no cheese and BBQ sauce, but when it arrived, Laura gave me BBQ sauce anyway. She didn’t offer any condiments, so I had to wait a couple more minutes to get her attention just to ask for some ketchup and ranch.
Once I finished my meal, I had to sit there for a whole 10 minutes before she noticed I was done. I was friendly the whole time, but I definitely lost my patience once I was done eating and waiting forever for the check.
A lot of time wasted with poor service. The drink was good, minus the salt. The burger was decent. The fries, while good, didn’t have seasoning on it like the last time I visited. The pricing was reasonable, though.

Good food. Good beer. Fun and friendly workers. I really liked the place!
*The picture with the burger and fries with ketchup, and the picture with the beer and water are from my first visit*
