The parade of cars across the street lining up at McDonald’s are missing the boat. This place is the real deal. Low overhead, small menu, but they’ve got it figured out: do less, and do it exceptionally well. The hamburger was fantastic. Like other reviewers said, the combo of ham, pineapple, and jalapeños works beautifully. I went all-in with every topping, and it was excellent. Only downside? The fountain sodas tasted a bit like city water. My suggestion: switch to canned or bottled sodas, and this place would be world-class.

Great casual hamburger place! We had both the chicken and the beef burgers. They are classic but with an upscale twist with the pineapple, ham and sauce, I’m not sure I can eat a normal hamburger again after these! The quality and flavor is top notch. Extremely clean restaurant, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.

My first impression of the restaurant was a very welcoming wide-open atmosphere. The person that served me was really nice, and gave me free fries since it was my first time there. Upon opening my box I was greeted by a very delightful smell and I was very pleased by the look of my food. The burger was not very thick but nice and wide and the the fries were very original and interesting. The flavor of the burger was really good. I got it with all the toppings. Overall I thought it was a great place to grab a burger. I'm looking forward to trying the bacon wrapped hot dog next time I go. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
