Here they ask for orders in stages to ensure complete customization. Choose a beef, chicken or fish burger and add toppings like mango-black bean salsa, fried egg, and grilled pineapple. Not at once. Read more

The fish burger is fantastic. All of the toppings are top notch, especially the mango black bean salsa. Great sweet tater fries and cheap draft beers. Best burger place around

This place has good buggers. The people here are nice. Also the place is clean for the most part. We would say that there should be more setting. But over all the place is a nice place. Great Place!!!

The place is known for its burgers, but it also has excellent French fries and shakes. They pair the fries and burgers with a tasty mix of sauces.

Veggie burger and quinoa on the side. Tastes good, filling. Tastes like they make them on site. Even if you suffer from veggie burger fatigue this one feels new and fresh.

If I had to choose to eat one thing for the rest of my life - it'd be their truffle park fries.

The boozy milkshakes are delicious! Get the Oreo and Jameson...trust me

stop by for some of the most nomnom Onion Rings (5/5 NOMs) and dip into Herb Ranch sauce goodness. Ask for them off their Secret Menu. More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com

Build your own burger with so many options! Also sweet potato fries. Also beer. Also it's called big buns.

Their gluten free buns are fantastic and the fryers are now gluten free because they stopped serving onions rings and other breaded fried foods.

I really love this place! Try the beef bowl and add your own toppings, or portobello Mushroom instead of beef for vegetarians

It's just a pity they took the best burger out of the menu! R.I.P The Magic Mushroom! (Even though, all burgers are awesome)

Wow! Nutella shake and chocolate peanut butter shake were good, but the concrete was the star.

Offers the impossible burger on all their specialty options. Great house IPA in collab with Atlas Brewing

They stopped offering fried onion rings as a topping because the gluten free people ruin everything good

You cannot eat all of these fries alone. You can try, but you will fail.

This place has excellent service! The people here couldn't be nicer. I came for the first time tonight and will definitely be back

The burger was good but better with bacon. The onion rings are awesome when they're hot.

Be sure to use the 4sq deal from 2-6- 2 burgers for $8. Great "make your own burgers" and shakes.

If the usual batch of sweet potato fries is too big for you, ask for a half order.

Great burgers, though sometimes, they can get a little too big and fall apart in your hands. They have good fries here too.

Really don't see the hype about the place. Burgers are just ok. Beer selection is fantastic.

Food was amazing. My white sweater was, admittedly, a mistake. It gets messy -- dress accordingly.
