Reviews
A little dirty in the inside, otherwise great food, ambience was OK. Service was OK. Other than that, I had a great time hope to see them getting better and improve
Do not plan on eating here unless you're going with someone casual and ok with taking things to go! Super small eating area (3 tables) but there are 4 patio tables that are nice during the summer. Food is to die for, I usually get the Korean Burger (spicy, but yummy) or the standard burger (savory and interesting). I wouldn't recommend the burger that has crab in it just because the quality isn't super there? It's fine for the price but I would lean on the burgers. There is one veggie option of a mushroom instead of a burger patty which is pretty decent. One of the best restaurants on the East Side!
Food was amazing. I had the butter with mushrooms and Swiss. Burger was nice a juicy. It was soooo flavorful. It's clean, small and fast. No frills place. I will be back to try the other offerings.
Crave burger- I think the best burger I've ever had. It was so juicy and so flavorful and a good portion size too! Japanese katsu- katsu was very crunchy and sauce was flavorful as well but I'll say not my favorite item. Good quality burger still though. I like how this is a small hole in the wall shop with quick service. Would recommend!
yea i'd say you should eat this. overpriced but the economy rn isnt tuff. but good burgers, that's what my mom said. good cheese curds too, i get those almost every time. i like those fries too. they've also got a secret item not on the menu, chicken tenders. kinda expensive, but don't tell the people that work there
