    Burgers are always perfect. Chili is great. Puck's soda fountain (real cane sugar sodas). Try the bull nuts (peanuts) to take home with you and get some barley dog treats for your dog.

    This place was amazing!! First time eating there and will definitely be going back again. My fiancé and I built our own burgers and got their Gateway Golden Ale. The customer service was also great!!!

    Always get their speciality burger. They also have a great soda fountain with natural sugar sodas. The biggest downside to this place is their Bull that makes these ungodly noises when you pull the le

    Pickles are good, they do weird things with beer, and the outdoor patio in the back is a nice touch. Plus, the burgers are messy and decadent.

    They have growlers and half growlers available to take beer home. Get the hsaWaknoW (WonkaWash) when they have it, but all are delicious. I drive from Raleigh often just for the burger!

    The menu features grass-fed North Carolina beef and natural casing hot dogs, all served on house-baked buns. Everything from condiments to chocolate sauce is made on location, including brewed beer. Read more

    The burgers come solo, so be sure to pair it with an appetizer. I'd recommend the pimento cheese & kale dip. Ain't healthy, but gosh darn it it's great.

    You can sub a veggie patty for any of their meat burgers for only slightly more. Excellent way to accommodate those who aren't eating meat for whatever reason. Love the atmosphere. Cozy spot.

    Definitely in the running for best burger in the Triangle. But what I really loved were their pickle chips! Yum! Best ones I've ever had!

    The beer is blah (at least the ones I had), but the people are awesome and the burgers and sweet potato fries were solid. It is definitely worth your time.

    These guys consistently put out great beers and great burgers. Make sure you go often enough to sample as many beers as you can from the revolving selection.

    get a "to-go" cup if you plan to drink soda; it's a bigger glass so it saves you multiple trips and you can take a boylans soda (which is normally an expensive, but delicious splurge) on the go

    Had a great burger and excellent beer. They do charge a premium price but given the premium ingredients it is worth it.

    Great customer service!! My son ordered a "puppy dog" and did not like it (nor did any of the adults at our table). Waitress was awesome to bring a grilled cheese for no extra charge.
