Best custom burgers!  4 Star Rating - Very good

I love going here for a guilty pleasure meal. The sweet potato fries are the best, and I like that the fries/ onion sting will come a little before your burger, like an appetizer. They get busy so go a little arly of late if you want to avoid the crowds. If you sit outside you have to order on your own, but on a nice night it is worth it. The toppings choices are vast, and I like the choice of english muffin instead of a bun. They have their own veggie burger and turkey burgers too.

Any type of burger you want  4 Star Rating - Very good

This place will put anything on a burger from egss to hash browns to cole slaw. The bugers tend to get up ther in price with everything you add to it. But then again you wanted it that way. The fries are also sold separate. They also come out before you burger, therfore if you are like me be sure to tell them to bring your fries out with your burger.

Great food and a terrific place to hang out! 5 Star Rating - World class

The most awesome burgers...and oh my god, the fries...which includes the sweet potato fries, pickle chip fries, onion strings and good old french fries...the sauces are awesome... it can get crowded on the weekends, so be sure to plan for that. If you don't know that there's parking in the back, it could be a problem...the parking in the back is where to be as there aren't many spaces in the front.
