Had the best time today amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-tier service. My server was super attentive and adorable, answered every question I had, and even brought extra sauces just so I could taste them (my kinda love language♡).
The manager was an absolute delight too! She cane to great us for our first time there. We swapped kitchen tips and she too brought more sauces for me to try. That kind of hospitality really makes the experience special.
From the Philly to the burger to those fried poblano strips with chipotle ranch… everything hit.
Good food. Great vibes. Warm energy.
✨ Would absolutely come back.

Daddy’s Philly… Ohhhh Daddy definitely did his thing with this one!
An Angus patty chopped and grilled up with onions, mushrooms, jalapeños & bell peppers then smothered in melty provolone and laid down on a hoagie roll with garlic mayo.
Messy. Juicy. Flavor stacked.
Every bite was giving comfort food with attitude. The garlic mayo tied everything together, the peppers brought that little kick, and that provolone stretch? Yeah… she showed out.
Paired with crispy tater tots on the side because balance
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ / 5
Would absolutely order again. Daddy understood the assignment.
Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids* and listen… that name was not playing.
Juicy beef patty, Monterey Jack melting into everything, three pieces of jalapeño bacon + three pieces of applewood smoked bacon (yes, SIX total ), topped with crispy fried chicken strips like it woke up and chose violence. Then they hit it with housemade bacon mayo, shredded iceberg, tomato, red onion & pickles on a toasted bun.
Baby….
This burger had layers of flavor smoky from the applewood, spicy from the jalapeño bacon, rich from that bacon mayo, and then BOOM… crunchy chicken on top just showing off. The lettuce + pickles gave that little fresh snap so it didn’t feel too heavy, even though she was THICK.
Paired with fries because obviously.
Messy hands. Full heart. Zero regrets.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
She’s bold. She’s extra. She’s not for the faint-hearted.
Would absolutely run this back.
Fried Poblano Pepper Strips served with Chipotle Ranch & Jalapeño Ranch — and baby, I loved these.
Light, crispy batter. Tender poblano inside with just enough earthy heat. Not greasy. Not heavy. Just perfectly fried little flavor sticks.
But let’s talk about that Chipotle Ranch for a second…
Smoky. Creamy. Slight kick. It wrapped around those peppers like it was made for them (because it clearly was). The jalapeño ranch brought that fresh spicy snap, but the chipotle ranch was the star of the show for me.
These are the kind of appetizer you keep “just grabbing one more” until suddenly they’re gone.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
I would absolutely eat these all the time.
Snackable. Shareable (but you won’t). Dangerous in the best way.

This is a libertarian foodies dream. You can make your own burger with a lot of great options. Ingredients were pretty high quality for the burgers and the other appetizers. Friendly for large parties as well. The sauce the put on buffalo wings def kick hard. Fried pickles are also good.

*disclaimer: I am a big burger fiend and I’m really upset that I don’t currently live near this restaurant but will be coming here every time I’m in town!
I ordered the classic smash burger and it was heavenly!! The sauce was perfect and went so well with the flavors of the burger. It was perfectly crispy and the fries were so good too! (And I’m not a big fries fan). I ordered a peach sweet tea that was alcoholic and it was delicious! It tasted like home honestly. It was such a classic southern sweet tea flavor and I could definitely down a few of those.
My husband ordered the steakhouse smash-burger which I also tried. Again, cooked perfectly and the sauce that came with his really brought out the flavors.
The atmosphere was great! We went at lunchtime and the music was a good mix of old and new, country, pop, rock, and R&B. Something for everyone! It was clean and organized and the aesthetic was awesome!
The service was good too! No complaints there. The hostess was friendly and the waitress we had made sure all our needs were met and was pleasant.
All in all, wonderful experience

When I came in, my expectations were pretty low and that was due to a horrible experience on the other side of town. But the buffalo and Swiss on sourdough, with two types of bacon was probably the best burger I ever had. Emily took great care with my food, considering some very serious food allergies of mine. I followed it up with a salted caramel pretzel milkshake, and it was better than the burger. Definitely check this place out!!

⭐ Extremely Disappointed!!
Our experience today was terrible from start to finish.
When we arrived, our 11-year old grandson told us that the last time he was here, a waitress told his mom to “stop her toddler (his baby sister) from crying.” That should’ve been our first red flag. Have ya’ll heard how LOUD this place already is??
When we sat down, the booth cushion was so worn out it felt like sitting in a hole. My husband asked the waitress (when she finally came around to getting our drink order) what their amber beer was, and instead of answering, the waitress just said they only had one and listed the sizes. I asked for a wine list, and she replied, “You don’t want our wines—they aren’t good.” Apparently, she gets to make that decision for me.
We both ordered medium-well burgers, and I asked for mine on a lettuce wrap. What we got were medium-RARE burgers—and my “wrap” was literally just a patty stuck in the middle of a head of lettuce…not a wrap!
The waitress never checked on us. We even had to get up and find our own silverware…and we never got any drink refills. When we mentioned the issues, they offered 20% off the burger I didn’t eat one bite of (and my husband only ate half of his). The manager came over and said they would only do 50% off my burger because “the waitress checked on you and you didn’t complain.” Not true—she never checked on us at all.
To make matters worse, the manager argued that our burgers were medium-well! In the end, they finally took my meal off the bill…but only because we refused to pay for it. By that point, the damage was done.
Between the poor service, bad food, and unprofessional management, we won’t be back. The manager seemed more interested in defending her staff than listening to her customers. NOT one time did either of them offer to replace it.
Check out the photos—those are clearly medium-rare burgers (mine and half of my husband’s). Maybe they need to better educate their cooks and managers on how to cook burgers to order.

My husband and I took a friend here for the first time last night and we were honestly surprised. Sam was so sweet and just an amazing help. Food was delicious and came quickly. I asked for my pesto burger rare and they actually did this! Hard to find that option now. All of the food was delicious. Our friend had rave reviews about the jalapeno bacon, husband loved the tater tots. Only issue I could see would be the salad portions were smaller than anticipated and the strawberry lemonade was far too sweet for me. Other than that, food and service were amazing
Definitely worth the visit

Update: Henri R (Awn-Ree) did a fantastic job. She was prompt and friendly. Very helpful my food allergies. I’m glad I came back for a second visit.
After being seated we waited about 10 minutes but no server came. I approached the person at the bar who stepped up and served us well. The food options are great. Gluten-Free menu. Vegetarian Options. Lots of shakes, build your own salad or burger. The food was delicious. We look forward to giving them another chance. The Men’s bathroom was dirtier than it should have been with as slow as they were.

Our waitress Ashley V. was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! She gave us recommendations on what to try and our drinks never went dry, she always came and checked on us and made sure we didn’t need anything. She also was friendly and thoughtful, she asked the kitchen to have our sandwiches cut in half so my significant other and myself could share our sandwiches. NO where I have ever been have I encountered such a thoughtful gesture before, she did her job amazingly as a waitress and as a kind person.
Food was absolutely AMAZING! Hats off to the cooks, I had never had fried develed eggs before and they were drool worthy. Everything that we tried was just mind blowing.
10/10 would recommend going.

Very tasty! We had the Brie and bacon bites appetizer that was delicious! I had the heatwave burger for my main meal. Super good. Loved all the flavors, their home made dipping sauce for the fries is very flavorful. To top it off, we had a great waitress that was attentive and very easy to talk to! Great experience!

The hostesses were wonderful but our waitress, Kenzie was not. We sat down at 7:30, we had to chase her down to order drinks, appetizers, and our food. She was nice when she came around but we had work to get her to come out of the back to acknowledge us. At one point the bartender had to go find her for us. She walked away while several of us were in the middle of telling her appetizers we wanted to order on 3 separate occasions. We did not leave until after 10pm..once our food order was put in, we received our food quickly..everything took so long because she’d disappear to the back and wouldn’t come back out for long stretches. The restaurant was nice, the food was great..but they could use better waitresses
