First the good. The guy made a great margarita.The bad? My $10 pretzel bites were inedible. They had been burnt so badly that there was bubbling on the outside. We are talking about something that is clearly a frozen appetizer and all they had to do was heat it up.My son got a cheeseburger and didn't like it. I looked at it closer and the meat was basically raw inside. For what it's worth, he has never disliked a cheeseburger before and he orders them all the time.There were tiny arcade machines outside, however only one of the 4 worked. The others essentially didn't respond to any controls and they looked pretty beat up. The patio TV looked like someone had nailed it with a ball and knocked out some of the backlighting. My take away here was that the local kids are destructive, but who knows, it could have been adults too.So, overall, a decent place to grab a drink. But all of the food we ordered was sub par. My friend brought his kids as well and made similar comments about all the food they ordered.

TL;DR: Don’t eat here. This place is overpriced and the food is bland. I wish I’d read recent reviews before we came because the other reviewers were correct- I would’ve enjoyed In N Out or McDonald’s better than anything we had at this place.The detailed version: My boyfriend and I came in at noon on a Sunday, not a soul in the place. We ordered chips and queso, two burgers, an order of onion rings, and two drinks.Total was $49, so that’s kind of expensive for two people, and if you compare that to their menu posted on Yelp from two years ago, their prices have doubled. My burger alone (no sides included) was $13.50.The girl working the counter brings the chips and queso out. The queso on their online menu is advertised as having white queso, guac, tomatoes, sour cream, pulled pork, etc, we got plain white queso. Okay, no worries, except it’s lukewarm and already getting too thick to eat.Almost immediately after, she brings out the onion strings we ordered…but it took another ten minutes to get our burgers. The onion strings were the saddest I’d thing ever seen. Hardly any breading at all. Once the burgers finally arrive, my boyfriend’s was overcooked and missing ingredients we had paid extra for. I had the “Sunday Morning Hangover” with added avocado, which tasted like literally nothing. My boyfriend’s burger had black garlic aioli and tbh it looked like a Chum Bucket burger.This was a total waste of money and hunger. Look elsewhere.

Truffle fries are a must. Texas Patty melt was delicious! Quick and responsive service. Will definitely be returning!

2 stars for how bad and expensive the food was. My sister asked for a well done burger. Pictured is the burger she got even though they told her it was going to be well done. They also charged us a dollar each on our burgers for pickled jalapeños and guess what?? They were raw on our burgers.They brought the food out kinda fast for the number of people but it was kinda cold. I paid 18 dollars for a burger and SMALL fries. I say stick to bar food and drinks and enjoy the atmosphere and skip the menu food.

Burger was delicious. It could have been cooked a bit more thoroughly though. I ordered buffalo chicken wings and the wings were quite overcooked and barely edible. There was barely any buffalo sauce on them. The ranch sauce it came with was delicious though. Also, the food was just in a plain brown take home box without any wrapping around the food. Seemed lazy and hurt the presentation. I might give this place another shot sometime. I'd raise the rating to 5 stars, if all the food was hot and fresh next time.

Ordered from them May 1st with Uber Eats. A burger we ordered was missing and a different burger was in there. The bun was mush. The fries were nearly raw. All the food was cold. The hot dog bun was broken in multiple pieces. Sauces were missing for the mozzarella sticks and the extra sauce we paid for was missing. Uber eats said they will not refund and the grind ignored the email I sent.

So after reading some other reviews, I decided to make lunch plans with my wife. I think this place has an identity crisis. They want to charge high prices for food but offer service one level up from fast food. When we arrived we were standing at the door blocking the door from people trying to enter. I believe they should have people seating or seat yourself. The place was pretty much empty and tables were not clean. Had to wait for ice. This location is in an affluent area but even then I still think they are robbing this community. $65.00 for 2 hamburgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks and an order of mozzarella sticks. Maybe why they were not busy. Do not know. I just think it is crazy how 2 people can go here and have such a vast difference in experience.

Great atmosphere! We sat outside with our dogs. We had the Buffalo Chick sandwich, the John Wayne burger and an order of loaded fries they were all very good! Service was great also. Great place to eat, relax and enjoy a beverage!

I just ordered a turkey burger on white bun, lettuce and Tom, pepper jack cheese, and avacado. Also ordered shoestring fries. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST BURGER I have ever had. The burger smelled and tasted wrong. Possible u dercooked..Don't know. But it was bad, and the fries were cold :(

Great Burgers, Great Beers!
