Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for romance—better suited for a casual meetup or post-park hang. Think burgers and fries, not ambience.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter service only, with first-come indoor seating and quick turnover.
Is it kid-friendly? Absolutely—kids love the combo meals and milkshakes. Highchairs available and plenty of park space nearby.
Best For
Better for: Fast, affordable park-adjacent burgers done simply and consistently.
Skip if: You’re looking for craft burgers, cocktails, or a sit-down date-night setting—try Outerlands or Sunset Reservoir Brewing instead.
