I'm so glad I was on a search for some apple cider donuts because it led me to one of the best burgers I've ever had. We thought we were just really hungry the first time around so we came back to try again, and it was even better the second time.
I ordered the regular jumbo burger, and added cheddar cheese, jalapeños, onions, and pickles to it. The toppings were all so fresh, but the star of this burger is the beef patty and the brioche bun that holds it together. The beef patty is some of the best freshest beef patties I've had, and it was SO good. The quality of the beef patty is unrivaled to others I've had, and basically tastes like a really good cut of steak (but ground up into a patty). The brioche bun has a slight undertone of sweetness that complements the beef patty so well. Then you have the pickles that are just fresh and delicious--not too sour, not too sweet, all the other toppings, and the mayo for the finishing touch.
We don't live nearby, but when we crave a burger next, we will most definitely make the drive over.
The fries are just regular, but I think it's complements the star of a burger well. We've also had the coleslaw and potato salad which are just okay but they do their job. The collard greens were delicious and fresh. And the Mac and cheese was decent as well. The pork bbq sandwich was overwhelming because it had so much meat. For the meat lovers, it's perfect, but we ended up taking half of the meat out. Cooked and seasoned well, but it was just okay for us. The star, again, was the burger.
And back to the apple butter donuts (the original reason I came here), I was on a search for a really good apple cider donut, and frankly I think we like the Great Country Farms' better (we tried so many in the area this season). We originally purchased the half dozen and ate it later when it got cold, and it was so covered in cinnamon sugar we had to wipe off what we could get off. It was way too sweet. Then the next visit we ordered one to have immediately. The warm fresh donut definitely was much better, but still way too sugared, but you could taste that apple butter flavor better. Besides the overload of sugar, the donuts kept falling apart and wouldn't hold its form. The inside kept separating from the outer "shell" of the donut which made it a messy treat. But overall still a good donut when fresh.
Like others mentioned, this is a restaurant within a shop. There is a bar area and a dining area off the sides of the central "shop" portion. They have a bunch of sauces, treats and snacks, and a random assortment of things. Great for browsing, but there was nothing we ended up buying.
There's outdoor and indoor seating. And the lines and wait for food definitely can get long, but that burger is so worth it. We got lucky with seats each time (order at the counter and seat yourself situation, and staff comes with the orders to the dining area calling out your order number), but easily could be a wait for tables.
