Reviews
First time trying this after living here for a couple of years it's a few blocks from my house and I always wondered about it, today I ordered a 1/4 combo and here is my honest opinion, great customer service for the most part, very clean inside with clear view of the kitchen which was also very clean, the burger was pretty darn tasty had the perfect char to it and the char taste to go with it, bun was pretty stale ended up heating it up at home to soften it. Overall I was satisfied with the meal and the portion size my only issue is the bun and the burger itself, if you are going to charge $15 for a combo at least use ground beef and not a pre frozen patty use some fresh beef and find a way to Keep buns fresh and I think this place becomes a top burger spot in the IE.
