Awesome fries. They're like potato chips and regular fries had a baby.
Decent burger but, sit at the bar for lunch and you'll wait forever for a bartender to tend to you.
I would eat here everyday. I would die young, but extremely happy.
Bacon cheeseburger, cup of chili, bloody bull, cottage fries, bloody bull. Do it.
John PaterakisMarch 21, 2014Overrated. 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.
DanOctober 23, 2021Overhyped. Burger is pretty good but not amazing or anything, fries are disappointing, and they only take cash. Pass
Massimo ScapiniJuly 5, 2012On the top of my list...
Caitlin RushMarch 26, 2011The cottage fries were pretty good and the burgers definitely deserve all the hype

"The burger was on the better half of decent. The appetizers were amazing. Don't miss out on the Mac and cheese balls. If you want to enjoy your visit you need to choose the right combination."
