Food was yum as, got the spicy chicken burger and side of crispy chicken. asked for hot spice level and was not dissapointed, perfect level of spice. wish there was more fillings the the burger especially for one that size and price, got a few bites of just bun and sauce, if there was another piece of chicken in there it woulda been perfect. not worth taking a star away just hoping this gets taken on for next time.

We ordered A couple burgers, onion rings, tater tots(potato bites) and a couple shakes. The food is amazing! Burgers were great, smashed patties, fresh lettuce and nice sauce. The sides were perfect, fried to perfection both the onion rings and potato bites. Only hiccup for us was their milkshakes were mid as plus the straw they use added some bad taste to the drink (they should change that ASAP). Id avoid the milkshakes and just buy another side or burger

5 stars Hands down one of the best burger spots in town. The patties are juicy, the buns are fresh, and the toppings are on point. I tried the classic cheeseburger and the City Special — both were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Fries were crispy and hot, and the staff was friendly and fast. Highly recommend for a quick, satisfying bite

Good, filling burgers for a reasonable price. Roughly equivalent to Better Burger. My order took about 15 minutes, so not super fast, but I would eat there again as long as I wasn't in a rush. They also gave me some free fries, so that was nice. Solid four stars.
