Its clearly called "Top Notch Burgers" for a reason. Not only were the burgers absolutely amazing, but the appys, drinks and staff were great also. Katherine was on it all night, never did we have to wait to ask for a drink. The bartender Kaylyn was also very inviting, and great at her job. I went for my first time there, with my girlfriend on our first real date. The atmosphere, and overall experience made it a date to remember. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Incredible staff, very polite and very nice place to bring friends or family. The portion was generous and everything tasted fresh! Even the fries! Trent was our server tonight and he was quick on his feet and always made sure we were topped up on drinks and had everything we needed. 10/10 service and food. I will definitely be going back!

10/10! Burgers were juicy and absolutely delicious, and the panko breaded brie was amazing!

I got the brisket hash, which was huge! It was loaded with crispy brussel sprouts, crunchy hash, melt-in-your-mouth brisket, cheese and poached eggs topped with hollandaise--oh and don't forget the arugula! A well-balanced and robust meal, wishing there was more sauce, but overall it was so delicious! Only things I didn't quite enjoy were the crouton-like toast and hard-poached eggs (I prefer medium or soft, very personal preference though).We also got the simple stack, which is a burger with double patties, cheese, and pickles. The burger patties were juicy and thick, buns complimented well. However, I do miss having the tomato and lettuce in my burger. I was kinda disappointed in the fries on this though, they were very oily and overfried.Service was attentive and friendly, would definitely be back to try more things!

Excellent food. Everything from scratch including the ketchup.

Always amazing food and service

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I went with my wife and friends for breakfast today. The service was shocking. It was supercilious and unhelpful. Recurrent inattention with coffee and a couldn’t give a dam attitude regarding any requests. The food was OK. We were not advised of a standard service charge for our “large” party of six people!! It was as if the server felt she did not need to provide any service since the gratuity was on our bill regardless. I have been several times before and found this restaurant to be outstanding. The food has been great and the service excellent. Not today! The duty manager could not care less when we discussed our experience. This is a real shame since hitherto this has been a sought-after venue for eat in and takeout meals on numerous occasions by my friends and family. No longer. My advice is DO NOT GO; IT IS NOT TOP NOTCH.

My husband and I went out for date night and had an all around awesome experience! Great food! Great atmosphere! But what really pushed the experience over the top was our server Ashley! She was just great! Amazing personality and on top of things! Will be going back for sure and definitely requesting to have her as a server again!

Much more than a burger joint. This is a full menu, casual place that offers, among other things, excellent and innovative burgers. Lots of opportunity to build your own burger around a couple of dozen choices, and there’s lots of stuff like appys and salads if you prefer.

We came here with friends and had a fun night with great food! We shared the Seafood Dip and Bruschetta both of which we so fresh and delicious and then I tried the Chicken Southern Comfort burger which is possibly the best chicken burger I've ever had! Delicious drinks and our server Kalynn was fun, polite and on top of everything we needed! We will definitely be back :)
