★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We've been to the New City location and this is exactly the same food and drink menu. Taste is the same also. The atmosphere is way different but not bad. We will definitely go back to one or the other. Got the classic burger, wings mild (that were too mind for our guest, fine for me) and all 3 sides. Sides were amazing !
August 24 · Gianni DDHORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Out of all my travels and adventures I’ve had in my life, I’ve left many reviews of places that I didn’t like for a variety of reasons. Most of them are petty, if I am being honest. However, here tops the cake as the worst review I will ever leave on Google Maps in my many years of writing reviews.I was working a vendor event going on right outside of this place during the hot summer. As I was working with my family, I began to have heat stroke and started feeling extremely worn out from the heat. I decided to sit in the art gallery section of this restaurant to cool off and get a drink.I sat in there for a couple of minutes trying to cool off when the two workers came up to me. I believe one was the owner and the other something similar. They asked me if I ordered anything yet and I said I hadn’t yet and that I was just cooling off. They told me that I had to “leave right now” if I hadn’t ordered anything already. (I was only sitting there for about three minutes and no one else was there.)I told them I was going to order and that I was having heat exhaustion and was just trying to cool off. The owner (I assume) responded to me “No, you have to get out and leave right now.” I again told them that I was going to order and drink and that I was having heat exhaustion. Again, they didn’t care, and the owner crossed his arms and stepped towards me telling me to “go now.”As I got up, exhausted and a little dizzy from the heat, they watched me leave as I closed the door behind me into the blistering weather outside. They made me so incredibly angry yet confused as to why anybody (especially like a place with high reviews like this) would treat their customers so horribly and cruelly.I ended up going to the My Father’s Table restaurant across the street and was given a large homemade sweet tea for free!The sheer difference the experiences I had in each place could not be more apparent. I am so disappointed in this establishment.
July 13 · Gwynne MorrisMy favorite place! Everything is super delicious. The staff is super friendly and nice. Highly recommended!Grilled chicken with quinoa is my all-time favorite!
July 05 · Tako KazarashviliWent here with my bf on a Sunday and the food was great ! He had the classic and I had the butterfly. We both had fries (menu is a la carte) and I order of the mac and cheese. We both had beer as well. The pricing of the food was very reasonable for the amount they give you. Our waiter was also very attentive. Will definitely be back!
June 29 · Taina BenjaminWe stopped here after a challenging wintery hike that left us ravenous, and what better thing to eat than a burger and a beer after something like that?After reviewing some burger joints in the area, we landed on this one since the photos promised everything we wanted - burgers, beers, and a chill low-key atmosphere.We sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice - didn't catch her name but she took good care of us. We both ordered the standard burger which to my pleasant surprise was a smash burger, and also shared a single portion of fries.The burgers were excellent. I had actually had smash burgers the night before but these blew them away. 2 crispy patties, thinly sliced onions, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, plus a single slice of american cheese (I requested a single slice). Great flavor and texture, and not soggy. The bun was a nice sturdy brioche, the patties were cooked perfectly, and the burger was a decent size overall.The fries came out and were a huge portion. Definitely enough to share between two people, maybe even three. The texture and form of the fries were perfect, but I would say they were a bit lacking in seasoning. I tried to remedy this by adding salt but the salt shaker barely emitted any salt. No big deal, I still ate the whole plate.We each ordered a beer, she got the Pale Ale, I got the NEIPA. Both were excellent and hit the spot.Atmosphere was super chill. Large space, tons of TVs over the bar so I could see this place being real nice for watching the game. A cool bonus is the bathrooms are located in the other side of the building and it is an art gallery.Would definitely come back!
