Overhyped. Burger is pretty good but not amazing or anything, fries are disappointing, and they only take cash. Pass
John PaterakisMarch 21, 2014
Overrated. What kind of burger joint not only doesn't offer malt vinegar for fries, but doesn't know what it is? Almost laughed out loud when a confused waitress brought regular vinegar to my table.
