Very friendly staff, we were greeted with smiles and made welcomed not just by staff, but patrons as well. And the burgers were amazing and made fresh as well as the fries. We enjoyed the experience and found out they offer 15% military discount, so the wife and will surely return when we're in the area for lunch again.

Had the double bacon burger and fries, and it was delicious. Friendly place, only waited about 5 minutes for a piping hot tasty burger and fries. Would definitely recommend.

The food was great, albeit expensive. We got the Bourbon Bacon and the Cajun burgers. Juicy, flavored, all around good. The young woman at the cash register was knowledgeable, super friendly, and more than happy to provide suggestions. It was a nice experience, and we'll go back someday :)

A Radio Recommendation That Delivered a Culinary Revelation Drawn in by a radio mention, I arrived with cautious optimism—but what awaited me was nothing short of extraordinary. I ordered the bourbon burger and cheese curds (pictured), and from the first bite, I knew I had stumbled upon something remarkable. The bourbon sauce is the star here—a masterstroke of flavor that defies easy description. Smoky, sweet, with just a touch of heat and complexity that lingers like a fine spirit, it elevates the burger into gourmet territory. The patty itself was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of character, resting atop a bun that held its own without overwhelming the composition. The cheese curds? Golden, crisp, and indulgently gooey—the kind that squeak just enough to remind you of their authenticity, yet melt away in a crescendo of creamy richness. Service was nothing short of astonishing. Impeccably polite, attentive without being overbearing, and blazingly fast. Frankly, it gave Chick-fil-A’s famously efficient model a serious rival. Yes, the seating is limited—but with food of this caliber, I would gladly stand, kneel, or balance on a crate. This establishment may be small in size, but it delivers flavor and hospitality on a grand scale. A true hidden gem. Seek it out.

Ate at this burger joint for lunch and it was really good. The space is kind of small but it was not busy when we arrived and were able to sit right away. There was also plenty of parking available. They offer burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries, and other items. You can order with a person or they offer kiosk ordering as well. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and it was good as were the fries. The burgers that were ordered were fantastic according to my kids. The staff members were all super helpful and friendly during our visit as well. The only real knock I have is that it is kind of expensive for a burger joint but honestly not surprising these days. I would recommend this to others, if this is the type of fare they are looking for.

Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries with a strawberry milkshake. The burger gave me homemade vibes with fresh toppings to match. The fries were steaming hot. The milkshake was delicious! The Cinnamon Toast shake is also a hit! Customer service was exceptional. The restaurant was very clean as I dined in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
