Service was fantastic, and the food was delicious. Plenty of meter parking. Chips and queso were a hit for the table. Waffle fries and the burger was delicious. Highly recommend!

We sat outside with our dog. The staff & restaurant are super dog friendly. They have a dog menu & special dog treats. My husband had a hamburger which he enjoyed. I had the veggie burger & fries. It was delicious. We highly recommend this place.

The food is amazing. Brings back great memories with chili and cinnamon roll combos. Got to enjoy a butterbeer on an amazing sunny day.

Good food, good service, fun atmosphere! They’ve got a lot of options outside the normal for burger tops, but you can get just plain style toppings on your sandwiches. Plenty to experiment with though!

Seriously good. I had the Raspberry Berret. When I saw on the menu jerk-ginger peanut butter & rasperry-jalapeno jam, I wasn't sure how those flavors go together but all I got to say is WOW. It was so good. Also super friendly staff. Service was quick and easy.

Such a fun spot in the Haymarket District! Had a quick break to stop for lunch, service was so friendly and efficient. We were able to eat and enjoy in limited time, without being rushed. Fantastic and unique cocktails, burgers and mac & cheese were 10/10!!

This place has some top-notch burgers. I got the raspberry beret (without buns this time) and was so glad both the raspberry and peanut butter sauces were in their own containers so I could save some of it as dips because they taste SO good. Both the bacon strips and the fries were super crispy, and the entire combination is just perfection.

Went with some friends and ordered a few different things. Everything was well made and in pretty good timing, the waitress was kind and on top of everything, and the outdoor patio was great we just picked a busy time were there was a lot of traffic going by. All together it was a great experience and the prices of meals were good.
