I heard a lot of good things about this place, so I was in the area and decided to stop in for dinner. I forget what my partner ordered, but i had the burger, and it was about as good as any bar burger, but the cost was much higher.

First time coming here and ordered their burger. Fries were delicious but I can't say the burger was. It was a large piece of meat that was super filling, but it lacked flavour and was pretty dry.

Wouldn't recommend as you can spend $22 for a better burger elsewhere.

Mediocre and disappointing. Had a steak but it was far from a good cut and it wasn't even warm. The service was also slow but the saving grace is the atmosphere which is rustic and relaxed.

I came to have the burger. Let s break this down. The overall flavor was balanced, salty and sweet with the juicy texture you want out of a medium rare patty. Sponge Bob would be proud.
