Burger Bench Escondido

After a fun day at the San Diego Safari Park, we stopped by Burger Bench, and we absolutely loved it. We ordered the Classic Burger, which was surprisingly juicy and flavorful even though we asked for it well done. The Mushroom Swiss Burger was just as impressive, with a rich, complex flavor that really stood out. The tater tots were a highlight, perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with your choice of sauce. I can’t remember which sauce we picked, but whatever it was, it was delicious! We’d definitely go back if we’re ever in the area again.

I love coming here, and u can't believe I didn't review it before! Made a stop in for dinner before I left town for a few months, and let me tell you, if you're craving a good quality burger with fries that you can dip in a delicious house-made ranch, this is the place for you! When you walk in, the restaurant is very open and inviting with the menu posted and the wall and over the register, and the beer selection open for everyone to see. And the server is always patient when taking our order. We ordered a Sunrise Burger and the Golden Rooster Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries and ranch. The Sunrise Burger had a fried egg on it that was so good with the bacon inside. Every bite had so much flavor, and it was good quality meat. The patty was smaller than I thought it'd be, but nonetheless it was still so good. The fires were fresh and hot when we got them, and sipping them in the house made the ranch was a great combo. The Golden Rooster Chicken Sandwich had a sliced green apple and a bit of cinnamon in it, which sounds weird, but honestly, paired with the fried chicken pickles, it was so good. Ranch Dip Score 9/10 Overall, I enjoy Burger Bench and think it's a great place for family, friends, or even a date!

Clearly the best quick-serve restaurant burger in Escondido, if not the entire North County. The $10.90 Classic is nearly perfect with a toasted brioche bun containing a nicely charred medium-cooked burger, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and chopped grilled onions. The veggie side had, as it should, some mayo on the bun, and the beef side their delicious Bench sauce. Unlike many premium burgers, the bun to content ratio is ideal and the whole thing doesn't fall apart before you're done eating it. It may just be my preference, but the beef is a bit chunky and chewy, whereas I prefer a finer grind that's more tender. My only complaint and it's a big one, is that you have to pay $5.70 (more than 50% of the burger cost) for a small side of fries. The COGs on the roughly five ounces of fries even at retail potato prices is only 20¢, so the markup is an absurd 2,750%. So 4.5 stars for the burger and none for the fries.

This is an excellent place for Halal burgers that we try to visit when I'm Escondido. It costs $2 extra for the Halal option and you can get it for any of their burgers. Their potato options are numerous and tasty, but a little pricey.... service is always good here with friendly and attentive staff. I recommend this restaurant.

Good spot to grab a burger. Good flavor and taste. Good craft beer selection as well. When it gets busy, it's hard to find a table or chair to eat at. And parking can be a hassle. But once you get there, it's a cool spot. Good service and friendly staff. Give it a try.

Nice spot for a good burger in Escondido. Easy counter service, but they still check in on you tableside. Good selection of beer and something to ear for everyone. Sunrise burger and chorizo burger were good. Parmesean truffle fries were delicious. One beer, one N/A beer and two burgers, and a side of fries came out to about $73 after tip, a bit on the pricier side for counter service but good quality.

Gotta little of everything you'd want when it comes to a burger spot. Have the selection of burgers, chicken sandwiches, melts, appetizers, shakes n drinks. Saw beer on tap as well as soda on fountain 😃 Atmosphere is cool. Stand in line, order from the board, and find yourself a table inside or out. My son is picky, and even though most their burgers are specialty gourmet like, he only wanted meat, cheese n bacon, and that's exactly what they brought out. The buns are a little oily, and my son said the fries taste plain like plastic?? What does he know, haha? I loved it all. Try the bench burger....bomb!

New to the area, saw this burger spot on a walk and thought to try it sometime and it was amazing the burger in the photo is the taco burger. Very well made and juicy. The tatter tots were very crispy and the sauces were amazing. Definitely going back

The Burger Bench never disappoints! Service staff is friendly, quick to clear a table and always helpful even during the rush. The cilantro aioli is next-level. I'd dip just about anything in it. While their burgers are obviously amazing, I have to shout out their Caesar salad too. It's so good that I sometimes skip the burger altogether (seriously). Fresh, crisp, flavorful not your average salad from a burger joint. Highly recommend this spot whether you're craving a burger or something a little lighter!

Tried Burger Bench and really enjoyed it! I had the Classic Burger, which was cooked perfectly--juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want in a burger. On the side, I did a half-and-half of onion rings and tater tots, and both were crispy, golden, and delicious. I also ordered the chicken wings, which were decent but nothing standout compared to the burger and sides. Overall, great spot for a solid burger and comfort food. I'd definitely come back for the burger and sides again!

Was seeing a local show at the community theater and stopped here to get a bite to eat before the show. There was a special event and this place was packed, indicating just how good their food and fan base is. Upon walk in, you order at the counter and then get a number and seat yourself. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, and You can choose between patio seating and inside seating. Seating was ample enough where there would probably be enough seating on a normal day, but a bit difficult with the crowd on this day. I do like they ask you not to take tables up until your order, leaving it fair for everyone. We ordered and sat at a long bar type table and waited till a more comfortable table could open, we waited about 5 or so minutes for that. The food came out fresh and hot, full of flavor. The fries and tots had a perfect crunch, and were paired with your choice of an accompanying dip. We got chipotle, garlic aoli, and ranch. The burgers perfectly cooked with just a little pink. The soda machine serves Stubborn soda and my son instantly loved the root beer as it reminded him of sarsaparilla he loved at Knotts berry farm. The only suggestion I would have for this place is better ventilation, or cooling system, especially in the summer as Escondido gets toasty hot and with how packed it was, it added to the temperature. After being in the sun and eating hot food, it was really toasty and uncomfortable. Overall it was a great visit and my family has already picked their menu items for next time, so we will definitely be back!

For the area, this is a good spot to stop and get your tummy stuffed. But don't expect it to be mind blowing. I think this is a middle of the road place. It is locally owned so that gets some points. Came here on a chilly May weekday evening. There weren't too many people here but with the music playing and the hum of the street and staff, it provided a decent atmosphere for a meal. As soon as you walk in, you order. I would say that their menu looks creative. We had to pause and take a moment to decide what I wanted to order. I ended up ordering the chorizo burger because I thought it would give a little kick in terms of spice but the bite was pretty mild. As well as the onion rings, tater tots with Parmesan and truffle and the Inferno Fried Chicken which had their homemade slaw on it. The inferno was super flavorful and it would be my suggestion if you go. The truffle and Parmesan tots needs to be made with truffle oil rather than truffle salt. It wasn't super strong. It didn't really taste. They do have veggie and GF options if needed. We opted to sit on the patio high rise chairs because I had my dog. The outdoor part is spacious and open air. It's in the front of the building. There are plenty of seats inside. They also sell beer about 20 different beers and seltzers.

Was invited to a Mother's day celebration at burger bench for all the Mom's in my wife's family. Heard a lot about this place so I didn't want to miss this opportunity. I got a Classic Burger with Bacon and split a side of Onion Rings with my wife. The burger was delicious. It was a little messy but most of the best burgers are. They give you a bunch of Onion Rings in an order. The rings were crispy on the outside and onions were tender on the inside. Really good. Will definitely be back again.

The burgers are really good with fresh ingredients. The sides they offer are great as well. If you love craft beer, they have lots on tap. They do also offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. The milkshakes are fantastic - I've only tried the Oreo so will need to branch out for the next time. It does get super busy so be prepared to possibly wait for a table.

Fun place for casual burgers with a solid selection of beer. I went with a friend on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble finding free street parking nearby. I was worried because the line to order at the counter was long, but it moved pretty quickly. Service was very fast even though it was busy and Dawn at the counter was so friendly and helpful! We both received our drinks the instant we sat down and our burgers very shortly thereafter. My friend and I both got the Classic burger, his minus tomato and mine plus bacon. It was absolutely delicious and exactly what I was craving. Their Bench sauce that comes on several of the burgers was so good that we ordered more to dip the fries in. Highly recommend!

This is a local burger joint in Escondido. The entire street is having a face lift and very safe to walk around. Free public lots and free street parking. Has indoor and patio seats. Breakfast from 8-11am every weekend. Lunch starts at 11:30. We had to wait in line until it was time for lunch. You order first then seat yourself. We ordered: -Inferno chicken sandwich: Cajun style fried chicken with a nice kick on a soft bun. -3 (sliders): gold rooster (signature chicken), fried chicken (has bacon) and smokehouse. Great way to sample some of the burgers. -Half and half: beer battered onion rings and truffle Parmesan fries. -Grand Avenue Chili: a bit bland but meaty There are beer, wine, milk shake options. I got a caned watermelon drink and it was so refreshing.

Great food and great service. We are definitely coming back to try their breakfast. Ambiance was inviting and clean.

I was starving and thirsty from the 95 degree Escondido heat today and was also craving a burger so this definitely hit the spot. I got the Classic burger with no cheese, cooked medium rare. It was very good. But I love the tater tots. I've always loved tater tots. It reminds me of elementary school lunch times. And to quench my thirst was a nice big mug for a root beer float. Lovely meal. I liked that the food and drink came out relatively quickly. Not a lot of waiting, which I marveled at because the place was very crowded. My friend has recommended this place many times before but I just never had the chance to eat here. Now I do.

I really enjoy this burger place. The burgers are delicious. The also enjoy the open area. Great for the entire family. The staff is always helpful. I come here for the burger and their beer, my husband comes for the milkshakes.

Solid burgers. This is for a takeout order. I got the truffle tots, truffle fries, and sliders with the smokehouse, grilled chicken club, and Swiss mushroom. Truffle tots are better than fries here. Fries are not crispy while the tots are. Friends also ordered different burgers. The remarks were chicken burgers were whatever. The only qualm I would have is that nobody got their meat cooked. My pregnant friend asked for well done and her patty looked rare. The medium rare was cooked like it was well done. And the other medium well looked medium rare. Was very confusing. Otherwise will definitely order from here again.

My first time here and will definitely be returning because I'm such a big fan of their menu. I love that their menu is so big and has a large variety from burgers to sliders to sandwiches! I got a slider flight so I could try a bit of everything. They also offer a lot of sauces to choose from. The mini corn dogs were surprisingly my favorite item of what we ordered that day.

I've been several times at Burger Bench and I can confidently say they're getting better with time. EVERYTHING was delicious, we ordered the smokehouse and a sunrise burger, wings and truffle parmesan fries. I must say that I hope that in a near future they bottled and sell that garlic and chipotle aioli, both were amazing and a great addition to the wings and fries. Service was great and every time I come I love the music they're playing. If you haven't come here yet, I HIGHLY Recommend it!

Burger was really good, I would give it about an 8 out of ten, tater tots were good but nothing special. The shakes the people were drinking next to me looked great and the people said they loved it. 2 pre-teen boys had a hard time drinking it all. The had a great variety of beer to choose from. The guy who took our order and all of the other people were really nice. I will definitely come here again.

Burger Bench has always been great, but I could not let this go. Order well done hamburger-well done. And it looks like they forgot to cook it! Unsat!! Unfortunately I ordered to go, so did not find out until I drove all the way home. I think I'm going to be sick.

Sometimes you gotta satisfy the craving for a great burger. This is the place! Food is great and ample selection of beers to try.

This place is about to be dope when that construction is finished. The service was good. Location is isn't bad either. The only item i did not like was the chicken slider. They are always dry no matter where they are from in my option. Everything else was solid. We will go back. Price wasnt bad at all.

Stopped by Burger Bench on our way to Kennedy's Meat Market for our monthly haul. They're doing construction right on their strip on Grand Av but there was still parking in the area on a Saturday evening at 6:00pm. We walked to the restaurant and the place was packed as the place is on the small side. There were 3 small tables outside available and we were able to snag one. The prices seemed fair and the menu is pretty straight forward. We ordered the Chorizo Diablo Burger, A Classic Burger and Half/Half Truffle Fries and Onion Rings. We also ordered a coke but didn't know they have their own style soda machine named Stubborn Soda that we didn't want to try so we asked for a soda refund and just had waters. The burgers were great. Hot, fresh toppings and were pretty tasty. They use quality meat and ingredients that were well noted. The truffle fries and onion rings on the other hand were just so-so. I would pass on any fries or onion rings and go for another appetizer or try another one of their menu items instead. Going to give it 3.5 stars and we're going to try again skipping the fries and onion rings instead going for other appetizers and maybe one of those great looking shakes sense if it can go to 4 stars. Definitely give it a try.

I went to Burger Bench recently for lunch with a friend, and we really enjoyed it. We sat on the patio since it was a nice day. You order at the register, and they give you your number to take to the table of your choice, and they will bring out your food. First I have to say, the woman who took our order was so pleasant and helpful. We couldn't decide which kombucha we wanted, so she gave us a few sips of each to try. We ended up choosing the Pina Colada flavored one as we liked it the best. I couldn't decide what Burger I wanted, so I got the three slider option where you can mix and match. I love that they do this because it's great to be able to try out different burgers. You can even get a chicken sandwich, which I did. I also got the burger that had a fig sauce spread on it and the smokehouse burger. The sliders were pretty good-sized, and I liked them all, but I'd have to say the fig jam was my favorite. They also let you do a half fry half onion ring basket, which again, is great for indecisive people like me. Since there were 2 of us, we both just got a basket of each. Both were very good, and I honestly can't say which I liked better, so I would probably get half and half. This is a great casual spot to grab a good burger or drink with friends, or even your family. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and they can get packed on the weekends, so be prepared. They also serve breakfast, which I just found out about, so I will update my review once I've had a chance to try it.

My wife found this place on Yelp because of the great reviews. It was a little hard to get to because there's a lot of construction outside. The front Street is all torn apart but you can reach the restaurant by parking close and walking. I came on a Monday and it wasn't too busy. We ordered and found some seats right away. The lady who took our order was very nice. My daughter has a dairy allergy so we needed to find something without dairy. The lady answered all our questions and looked up the recipe for the kids meals. We ended up getting chicken bites and corn dogs. They were pretty good. Protion size was really good too. The burgers are a la carte so they don't come with fries or a drink. You have to order that separately. So the burger plus fries would be about $17-$21. I couldn't decide which burger to try so they have an option to order 3 sliders with your choice of slider for each. I got the BBQ, smoke house and the golden chicken. I also got fries on the side which comes with 1 free sauce. The burgers were very delicious. My favorite was the BBQ. I absolutely love bbq and this one was bomb. The smokehouse had a BBQ ranch but wasn't a sauce that went on it. My wife loved the chorizo burger, it had a chipotle sauce on top which was super spicy but she enjoyed it. All in all, it was a great spot. We loved it and we'll come back if we're ever in the area.

Awesome! Buns good, meat good, tomato good, lettuce good, source good, everything good. Meat is really beef. It's not Beef. It's the beefest, the most beef. You can see that lettuce is overflowing. Not only lettuce but also everything. It doesn't mean that buns are small. The Burger is composed by great balance of every ingredient. Flies are good too. Overflowing too. A staff recommended me a source for flies. It's really good (but I forgot its name, sorry). Those are salty and good for summer. You must be care for heat shock. You need salt by the way. This restaurant is located good mood street. I feel old America. Many people came to this restaurant when I went but they have many tables. You don't have to warry. I'd like to show my friends this restaurant because if I brought friends there, they would assume me cool.

Enjoyed the burger I tried here today for lunch. I had the fig and jam burger while my friend had the mushroom burger. We both liked our burgers and would definitely come back. The staff was super nice and helpful.

My daughter says this is her favorite hamburger in the world. My wife loves the tater tots. I think it's alright. The service is top notch and they all seem to work together. They have tables inside and out. When we went on a Saturday afternoon at 4:30 there were only a few tables left and then the rush where there were none. It seemed like they were the only business on the block making money.

My favorite burger spot that I've tried in North County so far! Burger Bench is in downtown Escondido off Grand Ave. There was plenty of street parking when I dropped by on a weekday evening. There's a decent amount of seating inside with a patio and outdoor seating as well. This is a fast casual spot with counter service. They were pretty friendly and helpful when I went. They have a decent selection, a good variety of burgers among other things including the option for sliders. I got a mushroom Swiss burger with fries and a S'mores shake and everything was super good! It's exactly what I've been looking for in a (non-fast food) burger place because it definitely hit the spot. Glad I checked this place out, 100% recommend if you're in the area

This local burger joint never disappoints. Since it's opening, the service and the food quality have always been great. The burgers are of course the star of the show, but their sandwiches and salads also really shine here. The onion rings and Parmesan truffle fries dipped in their homemade ranch keep us coming back for more. They make the yummiest fancy shakes too, and have a good beer selection on tap.

Brunch here is a whole different beast in the best way! We've been coming for dinner very often and never disappointed. However recently we decided to stop in for weekend brunch for the very first time and were amazed at the options and our experience. Ambiance was sweet and slow. The morning light hits so nicely and they play a slower music which really rounds out the sweet Saturday morning feel. We shared the chicken and waffles which were absolutely amazing. Waffle was nice and fluffy with a light crisp and chicken has a nice juicy bite with a satisfying crispy breading. It came with a house made gravy and onion rings which were both great additions to the sweet and savory combo. Staff is always super friendly.

We were coming back from airport north and we're liking for a place to eat we could all agree on. Burgers is pretty much an all around pleaser. Burgers were awesome. Even my kids Cobb salad looked amazing. I had a classic burger which I devoured in seconds. Only weird thing is that sandwiches don't come W sides so you have to order separately but they are large enough for the table. We will be back. The neighborhood is preste awesome too. Lots of nearby restaurants.

Pretty sad how I have to write a bad review after a good one a few days ago. Shows you this place isn't consistent with their food, after today, I will not be wasting my money here again, 80$ worth of food wasted! I got 1 slider for my 7 yo thinking it would be perfect for him, nope, maybe a 1-2 yo but it was the size as a 50 cent piece. The smallest slider I have ever seen. All the burgers were pretty raw and I asked for well done, they were super busy but that shouldn't be an excuse, I couldn't eat it. I took 2 bites and I just couldn't, it grossed me out way too much! If I closed my eyes and ate the food I would of thought it was a different place, it was that drastically different, there was no flavor on the burgers at all and very little sauce, the bun was soaked in blood and I had to rip those parts off. The chefs forgot how to cook or something. The fries and sauces WERE THE ONLY good thing here. So sad, I really loved this place the first time we came.

The Smoked Burger was delicious. I've ordered a veggie side instead of the fries and it was ok. It needed a little more seasoning. We opted to eat outdoors and it was pleasant. The service was on point.

Fist time here to the establishment. Came in, greeted with a smile. Friendly and helpful staff. Ordered the Smokehouse burger with fries. My bud said they also make a really good breakfast burger. The burger as whole is good with the fixings. The patty itself is kind of small for the price. The patty is dry, or is lean meat, and not overly greasy or juicy but it was cooked medium like we asked for. The patty didn't taste like it had much seasoning or salt on it, but when eating it with the bacon, the BBQ ( really good smokey , not to sweet and yet tangy BBQ sauce) the lettuce , the sweet buttery bun, etc crates a flavorful bite. Not to strong, just enough to delight for another bite.

Two of my students and I had a workshop to attend in San Marcos. So looking for a place to eat, I found BB. One of my students just likes fries, so this place had some good choices. It's a cool space with indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the bbq bacon burger which was very good! I should've asked for it med well. It was a little too rare for medium. We also ordered plain fries and truffle parmesean fries. I thought the portion of the fries was small in relation to price, but that seems to be the norm right now. This was the first time my students had craft sodas. She: I just wanted a Dr.Pepper He: I almost said Sprite But they have a delicious Black Cherry soda! The staff was really friendly and there was good AC! Definitely worth checking out!

I'm a classic cheeseburger kinda gal, but I was enticed by the Bench Burger. I was in the mood for something decadent and boy did this burger deliver. What stood out to me was the combo of blue cheese, bacon, and grilled mushrooms; a triple whammy of umami. I'd also like to add that I'm not the biggest fan of bbq sauce in a burger, but this was an exception. There wasn't that long of a line when I came for lunch and it was very spacious inside, along with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. You just order at the counter, grab a number, and pick a table. Easy peasy. The staff was very welcoming and obliging throughout my entire dining experience, from the moment I walked through the doors to delivering my food to the table. I thoroughly enjoyed the craft sodas they had available on the fountain, the mixture of the cherry soda with their cola is fantastic. I often crave a good burger, so this is certainly going to be on my list of places to visit when I need to get my fix.

Burger bench is always a great experience for me, it's a go-to and we can always depend on the food being delicious. I love the classic burger, truffle fries, and s'mores milkshake. But anything you get there is a safe bet. Years ago when I got my wisdom teeth taken out all I could eat was soft foods, and burger bench's tomato soup was my FAV. It's great and pairs amazingly with any of their melts. The service is great, they're always pretty speedy and attentive to the guest experience. The (kind of ) new girl at the cashier is great and super nice. Ambiance is friendly, warm, energetic, inviting, and family vibes. Love it.

This is a comfortable, order at the counter place. I love the skylights and wood detail. Happy hour Monday-Thurs 2-4. My Blackberry Cherry Hard Cider! Not sweet. Willing to give a taste of the cider ahead. Friendly staff. Burgers are fresh angus beef, never frozen. It lists vegan options, but very limited. Buns are brioche, egg. Black bean burger was yummy with grilled veggies on top, a little soft but actually great texture and flavor. They have dressings and soups made from scratch.

We ordered take out. The young man was very pleasant and attentive as he took our order. He confirmed our order and was extremely accurate. The burgers were ready in the time promised. I had the chicken club, while the others had cheeseburgers. One burger was the Bench Burger... unique and delicious. The garlic parmesan tater tots were excellent as well. We loved it so much we ordered again a few days later. The turkey burger was as delicious as the beef burger and every bit as moist. The Smokehouse barbecue burger was one of the best around. Finally, the sliders are the way if you want to try several different burgers. The fig jam was the perfect blend of sweet and salty. The mushroom burger was good, but very mellow after the fig jam and the inferno fried chicken sandwich. The Inferno was the perfect heat to add flavor without being so hot you can't enjoy it. Truly excellent food.

Burger Bench has some of the most delicious hamburgers to choose from. The order time is always short (even when the line is long). The fool's is delicious and the presentation is appetizing. We come here about once every two months and are pleasantly surprised every time.

The food was good, not outstanding. Owners, please take note: The chairs are absolutely uncomfortable. I could not enjoy the food or restaurant due to the metal chairs!!

Definitely recommend for great low key atmosphere and tasty food. Excellent burgers and a good selection of other options. Love the yam fries with your choice of dipping sauces. Lots of beer selections and a regular bar with unlimited sodas. Staff were friendly and helpful. Indoor seating is cozy and outdoor seating has shade A great lunch or dinner after shopping old town.

The food here is awesome. Great beer, awesome burgers and good vibe!! Burger was cooked well. I also tried their breakfast on Saturday and my veggie omelet was awesome!

Too good!! You won't find a better burger anywhere! The choices are delicious! This place has ruined me. I can't go to any old hamburger joint after my first trip here. I tried a fast food burger the other day and had to throw it out and head down to the Burger Bench.

Whenever I'm in the area, I have to go! Since my last review I've gone pescatarian, so no more beef, chicken, pork, etc. Burger Bench has got me covered, though! You can request an Impossible or Beyond patty on any of their burgers (including patty melt, which I got last time, YUM), and they have other vegetarian/vegan options too, which is so nice. The staff was friendly and fantastic as always, and I'm so happy to see them thriving--they deserve it!

Was around the area and saw people talked highly of those spot. It's a solid burger spot for a very reasonable price. They have breakfast in the mornings of Saturday and Sunday and change to Lunch menu at 11 pm. They took 15-30 minutes to switch the menu so we had to wait until 11:30 to place an order. Food here is bomb and worth it. Chorizo Diablo - First time I've seen a chorizo patty but it was good. Flavors were balanced and the brioche bun was so good. Delicious. (4/5) Smokehouse - My favorite out of the ones I tried. Crispy bacon and bbq sauce. Get the beef medium rare! Brioche bun him as well. (5/5) Truffle Parmesan Tots - These tots were perfectly crispy and packed with flavors. Got it with garlic aioli and that was good. (5/5) This place gets packed around 12 pm and there was a line by then with no available seats so come early. Parking is in front or nearby streets. A good affordable high quality burger spot in Escondido!

Went to this place twice during my visit back home. My sister recommended it as she said it's hers and the family's favorite place to go. The guy at the counter taking our order was really nice and helpful. He recommend getting the sliders that way you can try different burgers to see which one you like. We also got onion rings and fries. I ordered a beer, which ended up being flat. I didn't go up to the counter to say anything as that's just the kind of person I am. Overall everything was great. On our second I ordered the Swiss mushroom burger. It was absolutely delicious and juice. Not a dry burger at all. We even got a couple of milkshakes for all of us to share and try. The milks shakes were so good too. My son who has never had a s'more loved it. I hope this place sticks around so I can come back again during my next trip home.

These burgers are delicious and the condiments are great quality and the shakes are out of this world...but it's not light food. It was definitely heavy. Hubby and I each got a burger -- I paid extra for bacon and a very heavy, delish but crumbly gluten free bun -- and we SHARED a decadent shake and SHARED a basket of onion rings/sweet potato fries...and it was still over fifty bucks! As many of the recent reviews stated, there's major road construction going on in front, but it's pretty easy to park behind - even on a Saturday, when we went. There were 6 patio tables and it was pleasant but also felt a little claustrophobic. I like the pet friendly aspect! I couldn't believe there's such a thing as BEER FLOATS, wuuuuut? An interesting place, just seemed a tad pricey.

My family loved this place! for starters the service was impeccable! Every interaction that we had with every staff member was top tier! It was a major plus that the food was also dedelicious, fresh made and flavorful. I didnt like the sliders becauae the patties were really dry but each burger would have been delicious full suze. The chili was the star of the show for me and their ginger iced tea. But all of our food was good, fries were crisp and the onion rings were good as well. I can't wait to come back!

First time here good vibes good food good draft beers I recommend you to come here and have a good time pets friendly too
