    Burgers a little overrated but still very good and with a lot of customization. French fries are whatever.

    Can't decide between onion rings & fries? Order a basket of Frings: a mix of the two. Be sure to get a side of green chili to dip them in!

    Ask for "The Dustin". That's one of everything on your burger. Also, ask for a napkin.

    Best burger in Denver, hands down. Get some fresh jalepenos on your burger, and grab a side of fries for sure. Used to be owned by Denver's current mayor.

    Never get your fries; share a basket with friends. You can also 1/2 fries and 1/2 onion rings. Do it!

    I absolutely LOVE this place, the wings (per my husband) are the best he's ever had. My chicken sandwich was awesome and there is a great local beer selection!
