Okay, listen. The burgers here are fantastic and rotating and always have crazy combinations of flavors that I would never think taste good together, but then you try it and are transported to another plane of existence. All of that is true. But, the birthday cake milkshake is a thing of great beauty and triumph. I'm not sure how they do it, but it somehow tastes exactly like a birthday cake in milkshake form in the best kind of way. Yes, order a burger. But also, order this milkshake. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

One of the most unique burger places I have ever been in. Burgers were great- dripping with their special sauce. Fries were enjoyable as well... a little pricey for me personally ($50+) for 3 burgers, drinks, fries, tip... but glad I went at least once!

Drove from Omaha to try this and it was literally the best burger I’ve had in my entire life<3. It was also so cute in the upstairs dining. I have no idea what I ordered but it was delicious.

Ordered a Nero on a Friday night. Got a Frontier Justice. Went with the flow until multiple bites reveled a mostly raw burger. Great first impression. I was really looking forward to liking this place, but was disappointed. Left hungry as a burger didn’t sound good after this.

It was a good experience dining on this restaurant. Indeed the best burger and salad that I ever tasted while on travel. The amount you pay is reasonable for a big burger that tasted so good. Just like what others say, you can see them cooked your food while waiting. Though they eased out for mask mandate to customers, it was nice to see that the workers are wearing it for their own protection. Travelers, stop by on this area if you happen to be in town

For a first time, this place was good! I'm a big fan of burger places. Their menu is unique & offers great options! Their burgers were big & juicy. Their fries were well cooked & I liked the flavor of them. I marked down 1 star for how little fries we got for the price. I was expecting more for the price & my party agreed with that expectation. The location was clean & staff was friendly! I would recommend this place to people who enjoy unique topping options!

I had the 1809 pictured here. It was Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had I would highly recommend it this restaurant is the restaurant also offers a military discount I love to support those who support us.

My favorite burger is the Aphrodite from the rotating menu. The Greatest Burger Ever is also very good. This place is very vegetarian friendly, offering an excellent vegetarian patty. The parmesan truffle fries are good, but I prefer plain. Pretty good milkshakes too!

Their burgers are fantastic! The jalapeno burger was great! Love that they have an open kitchen, so if you sit upstairs up front you can watch them cook your food. Was about $15 for a meal, but it was worth it.
