Great downtown spot. Excellent burgers, really hard to pick a favorite. Love the Jailbird (can never go wrong with bacon and a fried egg on a burger). Ambulance chaser is a go to for sure (slightly sweet bbq sauce, bacon, tomato jam). Ah, and the Bailiff...the pimento cheese and bacon pair so beautifully. (Yes, this is a law-themed naming scheme...restaurant name is the first clue!) And don't sleep on the Alternate Juror--shaved bologna, fried on the flat top, adorned with beer cheese...don't question it, just enjoy it! Solid sides, my pick would be the truffle fries with a nice little aioli dipping sauce.
Solid beer selection, good whiskey choices (you better be when located on Whiskey Row!), and some quality cocktails. Sure, have one for happy hour or dinner, but they won't tell if you sneak one in at lunch either!
And, last but not least, if you manage to save a little room, the shakes are excellent. There's always a special of some kind, and I'd just say go with whatever it is if in doubt.
Is not a huge space. Some bar seating and a modest dining room, so it can get a little crowded, especially when there are events at the Yum! Center...so if you're stopping in before an event (and you should), plan accordingly. Service is friendly and helpful.
