I have tried this place three times now. I like the concept, and each time I have been, it is busy. The space is open, warm and it is obvious a lot of detail went into the Lumberyard.
Items are brought out to you. Staff check on you to see if you need anything. So far, I have tried different burgers at Grand Ave, and they have been very tasty. For this most recent visit, I ordered the plain burger and added cheese. It was perfectly cooked (no pink), and had lettuce, tomato and sweet pickles. There are plenty of condiment options, including A-1, which made me happy. I added onion rings instead of waffle fries this time, and I was quite impressed with the large onion rings!
Here are things to consider:
* Take your time ordering at the kiosk for items you add or items you don't want. Make sure you read and check your order before paying.
* If you're with a large group, note you may have to split up to different kiosks to get orders in so items come out around the same time. You may have to wait in line at the kiosk to order.
* If you are with a large group, and you order from different vendors, your food may come out at different times. Burgers tend to take a bit of time.
* If you're in a hurry at lunch or dinner, plan ahead and hit it before busy times. There is a great website available with food offerings and prices so you can research before arriving.
* This is a place that is good for families. If you don't want to be around kids, find a table away from the play area.
Food prices are comparable to other places in the area; $11-$12 for a burger. Add-ons range from .75 - $2.00. Drinks are $2.50. Pizza, grain bowls, Puerto Rican specialities and fried chicken dishes are also available, so the variety is definitely great.
