Wow what a fantastic indoor/outdoor restaurant! Jojo told me the burgers were the best and they sure were, with a side of some very tasty pasta salad! I am new to the area and am so glad I decided to check out this spot. Great food, great service, great location, fantastic place cant wait to be back. Update: Great service from Alicia, Vanessa, and Cosia!

Torch hosted our Squadron’s Hail and Farewell on short notice and did a superb job! Their manager and staff were great to work with. Food and drinks were top notch. Definitely a positive experience!

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch outside on their patio in January! Their torch burger was fantastic, and their Moroccan steak salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. We will be back for sure.

We tried the crab dip and Brussels (appetizers) I wish the dip was mixed together a bit more, it had lots of cream cheese in the bottom of the container, maybe add more crab to balance it out? LOL
The Brussels were tasty, couldn’t tell if they were overly roasted, burnt by accident or if they actually “torched” them. They had that burnt flavoring to it so maybe it’s supposed to be that way. Still very tasty outside of that.
I ordered the Drunken Uncle burger w/ an egg. Wasn’t my favorite, mainly due to the cook rushing the order, mixing up our two burgers and not really taking his time to make it as the menu states.
Waitress was attentive! And the music was good! Drinks were hella strong so I’d definitely come back to give Torch a redo!

Torch brought back their old menu, definitely went back to their roots, food is good and quick, drinks are strong and cold! Glad to see this neighborhood staple return to greatness. Awesome trivia nights and weekend love music.
5/21-5/22 – I spoke to the general manager about the menu changes and he said they could still do blackened tuna for me. Came in and ordered the kale Caesar with blackened medium rare tuna, was served sesame crusted (without being told I could not have the blackened tuna) tuna medium/medium well. Kitchen cannot cook to order and does not confirm if someone wants a substitute on the placed order. 1 star.
Torch has recently completely overhauled their menu, and while there are some improvements they have taken the things that brought me back time after time off the menu. The traditional Caesar salad, the blackened tuna and the potstickers off the menu. I came here several nights a week for dinner and will now be readjusting where I eat as these were things I ate almost every time I came here.
The bar staff is awesome – JoJo and Vanessa are amazing, and I will still come here for drinks, I’ll just pass on the “artistic” food menu.

Our visit to Torch started off a bit rough as they have a “seat yourself” sign. We sat out on the patio however, none of the staff realized we had walked in so we waited for about 20 minutes before I went to grab someone. Other than this we had a good time with great food. They have great fries and an interesting menu. Their patio area with the fire pit is amazing and I would love to come back and have a few drinks on a warm summer night.

Great atmosphere and the service was A+. The outdoor seating on the fire is really good and it’s nice to look at. Food was really good as well and seasoned. Also came in a very good portion. The drinks come at a good price and they are very good as well. Just an overall in the cut place that is definitely worth going to and visiting again and again.

The food is top notch and reasonably priced. The servers are all very friendly. Happy hour specials are really good. The only issue is the acoustics. It gets very loud in there. Still, I come back every week because the good far outweighs a little noise.
