Located right near our home, I’ve visited this neighborhood bar twice in December—once on a Thursday night and again recently for brunch. With 38 years in the hospitality industry, I have a strong understanding of how these businesses operate. The food is good, and the service is very solid for a neighborhood bar. I genuinely want to support this place.
That said, ownership and staff may benefit from viewing a few aspects of the experience through a guest’s perspective. I offer this feedback sincerely and hope it’s taken in the constructive spirit intended, because with a couple of small adjustments, the overall experience could be noticeably improved.
First, the use of Fabuloso is extremely overpowering. While staff and ownership may be accustomed to the scent, guests definitely notice it. It overwhelms the smell of the food, and even after walking home, the scent lingered on my jacket.
Second, the music selection feels more aligned with staff preference than with the bar’s atmosphere. Music plays a significant role in shaping the guest experience, and this is another area worth reevaluating.
I recognize that this bar has been around for a long time and has clearly been successful. I’m simply offering my perspective as someone who has spent many years in the industry. I will return, but I do believe these two items deserve closer attention from ownership and staff.

Cute lil dive. I had a smash burger and it was okay. The sauce was not very flavorful unfortunately. The fries were a lovely type of shoestring that I haven’t had anywhere else.

We stopped in with a group of 8, and despite being a smaller establishment they were happy to accommodate us. Service was top notch with servers who were genuinely kind and attentive.
Food was wonderful. I’ve never had mozz sticks like I had here, and let me tell you, they were wonderful. The smash burger was also out of this world.
Highly recommend for great food, great service, and a cozy but lively atmosphere.

Outstanding craft burgers and fries. No frozen burger patties just fresh and delicious. Ask about the special. Love this place.

Friendly, neighborhood spot. I had the “little”Franklin burger, which was more than enough even though it’s on the starters menu. A side of fries, with house made ranch dressing was a nice addition. Others in the group had the full-sized smash burger, which was huge… definitely for a bigger appetite. Overall a relaxing, satisfying experience. Great wait staff!

A lovely hidden gem! This place has excellent service and food. It is quaint and quirky and the girls working it were fun and vibrant. Will definitely be back. Plenty of parallel parking on the streets, two unisex bathrooms downstairs. Get there early because seating is limited!
