In Short
Dominating the corner of an upscale mini-mall, this minimalist burger restaurant features pale-blue walls, Formica furniture and modern light fixtures. Burger selections are meticulously prepared to diners' tastes. They can be customized by weight, as well as with choice of cheese, sauce and buns. Typical toppings are offered, as are premium selections like sautéed mushrooms and artichoke hearts. The decision-making doesn't stop there; patties can be made with beef, turkey or veggies.

Be prepared to wait a while to get a table if you want to eat in. This place is so popular that it is always full even on off hours but its full for a reason. The burgers are great and I am not even a burger kind of gal. I got the veggie burger so packed with veggies you can see them and I can't not get the sweet potato fries there either!

Have never failed to get a great burger at this place. The monthly specials are always creative and incredibly good! Try the different fries, they are fantastic!

We went on a Sat eve. We were starved after working all day. We ordered fries to placate our hunger and they came fast and were very good. I filled out the sheet for my burger, my way. It TOOK FOREVER. It was not what I had ordered - no roasted peppers but worst of all it was RAW. Barely brown on the outside and dripping red uncooked on the inside. I cut the burger in half, showed the waitress and they took it back. OH MY GOD. They brought back the exact same cut in half burger and had cooked it to death - it was BLACKEND on the outside. The manager was nice and did not charge us for it - gee thx now how about my growling stomach and all the time I wasted sitting here waiting for decent food. The service staff was soso. I would not go back and I would not recommend this VERY OVER PRICED BURGER joint with metal chairs.
