Fun new place Burger is awesome, and the drinks have a $2 discount during happy hours. Usually, it starts to get busy around 6:30 - 7 pm. Stop by on Friday night and the atmosphere was great. We had a great time.
It's very cozy inside. Tables, booths and bar so a verify if seating. The cocktails were delicious. The food was great. Our group shared several dishes. My favorite were the beef tallow waffle fries, and the Mac and cheese. However I can say that salad, smash burger, salt and vinegar and buffalo rings are all to die for. I will definitely be going back.
First time here. Didn't know what to expect. Walking in, you enter a modern, comfortable restaurant and bar. Once seated you are greeted and given menus. You order at the bar. We started with a couple of beers and then got a Brussels Sprouts Salad and a double smash burger. The salad was excellent and the burger was "oh my gawd" delicious! Probably the best burger I've had in years! The staff was really cool, accommodating and helpful. This is definitely a great spot for drinks, food and hanging out!
My parents talk about this restaurant frequently. They live close by and like to go pretty often. This was my first time going, but I had a really great time. They are a small, pub-like restaurant, serving burgers and fries. The feel is overall pleasant, the staff is very nice, with the owner there himself, who also checked in on us to make sure everything was well. They have events going on during the week such as trivia and karaoke, but we went on an off night this time. I had their traditional smash burger, and added a little bit of their spice rub to it, to give it a kick. The burger was juicy and not overcooked, with a little bit of pink, which I enjoyed. Overall it was a pleasant experience! I can see it becoming lively on nights when a game or event is going on, but even on off nights there is still a good crowd.
Lively dinner spot. MNF was on or maybe it's just popular but the place was packed and I got lucky with the last seat at the bar. I ordered the pretzel (the curry mustard was interesting, the beer cheese just so-so) and the smash burger. Enjoyable meal.
Great atmosphere! Nice staff, very attentive! Menu had so much did hard to choose, beef tallow fries was so yummy, drinks were delicious! And it was trivia night! Fun times!
Excellent pub with an elevated menu but very reasonable prices. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the owner, super friendly and the food was superb. Try the Bahn Mi and the smash burger for sure. I can already tell this spot is going to be in our regular rotation.
There's Peruvian fries are delicious I wanted extra bread just soak up the juice because it's so savory. Drinks were really yummy and reasonably priced. Great happy hour from 2 to 7 on basic well drinks but they carry clean tasting alcohol
We live just a stone’s throw from this fantastic spot. We had been here when it first opened and came back again today—compliments to the team, they just keep getting better. The food is excellent, beautifully presented, and delicious. Great drinks too, with an impressive selection of wines and draft beers (including some excellent Italian wines). We ordered several beers and Old Fashioneds—everything was fantastic and well-executed. The food came out quickly with no long waits. The smash burger was delicious, and the skirt steak could rival any steakhouse. Even the vegetarian Smau burger was tasty. The entire staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Monday karaoke night adds a super fun vibe. Highly recommended!
The food and drinks are very good and reasonably priced. The service was also very good. Unfortunately, we went for a pre season formal game and they couldn't get it, although they really tried. The music was not my favorite but to each his own. The crowd was also friendly. Parking is tough though but I will definitely return and do recommend them.
