Amazing burgers, hot dogs. The service was super fast and our server was so sweet. The jalapeño hushpuppies were delicious

The jalapeno hushpuppies and the salad were good, but my husband's burger was so undercooked that the middle looked raw. Our friendly server didn't come back for so long that he just ate around the edges. We know there's a labor shortage everywhere and try not to hold that against restaurants, but we can not recommend this place based on our one visit.

One of the best burger places around, with a rotating special. Definitely get the hushpuppies! Great selection of whiskey and local beer. Thursday is burger night! Also has a very conscientious staff.

Incredible! Came in February with a fairly large family group. We sat out back because we had a dog. The food was outstanding. The waitress was very attentive and took great care of us. I just can’t say enough. My burger was one of the best I’ve ever had. And our kids’ chicken nuggets were real chicken, tender and well seasoned. Go if you are ever in the area.

Delicious burgers! ? The hush puppies are soft with a taste of jalapeño. Prices are a bit high. Not a lot of seating and parking lot is tight.

Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere and friendly people. Had orders of decent complexity, party of seven with children. All the entrees we're excellent and timing of drinks and appetizers were spot on. All food items were made in house and not out of a box. It was the details that really stood out like the freshly toasted bun on my burger the house maid chips for my son. Also a pleasant selection of beverages. Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I just drove from GA and were looking for a great burger place and this was the one! Not only is their food amazing, the atmosphere was super fun and the staff was awesome! Our hostess, Nicole greeted us at the door and immediately helped us get a table. There was a small wait so she took our drink order and brought our drinks to us while we waited! She was awesome!!! We absolutely loved our meal and will definitely be back!

Enjoyed some great burgers here! My wife never eats a burger but was so intrigued by the menu she couldn’t resist. It’s a good, fun place.

Nice vibe with great music. The staff were friendly. The burgers are really good I got the 50/50 burger and it was tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

My spouse and I were excited to try this place after the reviews. We had to run errands after eating so we each got a single Cardinal burger, no fries or apps.Our burgers were way overcooked, dry, and small for the price. It was really like an elementary school cafeteria hamburger. Our server was nice, and we can't blame her for anything.Five Guys or Burger King is much better, faster, and less expensive.Will not be back.
