    Their burgers are decent. They are huge hamburger patties. You will most definitely be full after eating here.

    Do not eat here, it's dirty, dusty & I kid you not had worms on my burger & friend's burger. We cut them in 1/2 to try the different types & when I went to eat saw green squiggly worms! Stay away :(
