Very nice smash burger and crispy coated fries. Good flavor, texture, and quantity. Tasty West Coast IPA. Perfect amount of hops. The Cobb salad was very good and sizeable. Nice, clean bathrooms!

Excellent food and beers. The hamburger was so good (w/o American cheese yuck). And fries, salad, etc - all top notch. The bartender brought us a few free samples of beer - so nice. Will come here again! It’s very roomy so a perfect place for a group of people.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent dining experience at your establishment on 8/30/2025. I had been looking forward to trying your renowned burgers, based on the positive reviews I had heard. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of expectations. The $19 price tag for the burger was simply not justified by the quality of the food. The patty itself was excessively dry and lacked flavor, a stark contrast to the juicy burgers I've enjoyed elsewhere – In-N-Out Burger comes immediately to mind. Furthermore, the burger's construction was suboptimal. The lettuce was placed at the bottom of the bun, leading to a soggy bun and an overall unpleasant eating experience. The excessive height of the burger also made it difficult to eat, requiring me to cut it in order to take a bite. (See attached photos for further illustration of these issues.) While I acknowledge that your establishment may excel in its beverage offerings, the quality of the food, in my opinion, needs significant improvement. My family and I were collectively very dissatisfied and rated our meal one star. We sincerely hope you will take our feedback constructively and address these issues to provide a more enjoyable experience for future diners.
