Burgers are delicious. The bun is perfectly crisp and the prime sauce is a must have. And don't you dare leave without ordering a shake...strawberry is my personal fave.
JonesJuly 12, 2017Delicious! The cheeseburger was good. The whiskey burger was also good but more of sandwich . Sweet potato fries ok. Regular fries were good. Nice decor
Kern LeeMarch 8, 2014Make sure you join their rewards program, once you sign up they can look up your name. Birthdays 50% the birthday burger. Points accumulate and automatically apply toward your food bill.
Great burgers, fresh milkshakes and even local beer from Devil's Canyon. Love it.
William JohnsonMarch 9, 2015Phoenix From the Flames... DO go for the extra heat, and the onion ring upgrade.
Reynaldo CaacbayOctober 5, 2014Order the strawberry milkshake and the Whiskey Town Express hamburger. You won't be sorry!
Tina NgAugust 8, 2012Love their cowboy burger and sweet potato fries. Their onion rings are amazing too.
Will ColglazierMay 16, 2017Kids eat free on Monday nights with Juggle Ben to keep them entertained. Win win

Beth S.March 4, 2013Try the New York New York Burger - Mmmmm! Burger of the month special. With pastrami!
I hate pickles and yet I love their fried pickles. Their coffee blast shake is also awesome.
Hot hawaiian with garlic fries is awesome, but they dont carry the buffalo wing red hot sauce anymore which made the meal!!! Sad : (
- Beth S.April 22, 2013Try the Wine Country Burger - Goat cheese, Cabernet/balsamic onions, mushrooms and greens. #YUM
Romy MacasiebMay 7, 2012Sell your gold across the parking lot, and use your fresh new $ on a juicy burger!
Hanna KaplanAugust 24, 2011$10 Tuesdays is a legit steal. Burger, fries, shake for $10. Trumer Thurs ($3 pints) isn't bad either.
Try the Sweet potato fries - The best sweet potato fries in town!
Curried chicken soup - special tonight - so good!!!
So not right for first timers to get free fried pickles and those of us who come here regularly do not get rewarded!- Best burgers around! Try the fried pickles ... Oh ya, the shakes are a must have too!!
The Tuesday special is a great value Cheese burger with fries and a Shake for $10
Thank them for having local beer from Devils Canyon!
Jack's PrimeFebruary 14, 2011Free milkshake (2 straws) for the first couple to check-in today. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Bummed that Chatterfly stopped. Was looking forward to my free burger today.
- Order a "Great with Beer", and a pint of whatever. Lament that this place is all the way down in San Mateo.

"The bacon cheeseburger is SO GOOD. The burgers come unadorned and you add your own condiments at the bar, which I enjoy. The fries are also killer. The single order of fries is plenty to share."
