7.8
A neighborhood New American room where the burger is a steady menu constant rather than a hype object. It’s a good pick when you want a composed sit-down burger with a calmer vibe and a more dinner-forward experience than a pure burger shop.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burger with Swiss, onions & mushrooms, Fries, Little gems salad
Scores:
Value: 7.1
Service: 7.6
Consistency: 8.2
Food Quality: 7.9
Atmosphere: 7.2
Cultural Relevance: 7.3
What makes it special: A composed, sit-down burger option anchored by a real kitchen.
Who should go: Lunch diners who want a calmer burger
When to visit: Weekday lunch for best pace
What to order: Burger; fries; a simple salad
Insider tip: Treat it like a lunch set: burger + greens beats over-ordering sides.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option, especially midday.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans are fine, but this leans more polished than a burger-only spot.
Noise level: Low to moderate — easy conversation without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 20–30 minutes without a reservation, longer during peak dinner hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a short wait under 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — usually one or two composed vegetable-forward mains or sides that can make a full meal.
Vegan options: Limited — possible with modifications, but not a core strength.
Gluten-free options: Some gluten-free-friendly options available; ask your server for current accommodations.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want a relaxed, low-pressure setting where conversation matters more than buzz.
Can I get a table without a reservation? At lunch, almost always. Dinner is doable early or later in the evening, but reservations help on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Better suited for adults; calm kids are fine, but it’s not designed as a family-focused spot.
Best For
Better for: A composed sit-down burger experience with a quieter room and more polished pacing.
Skip if: You want a loud, high-energy burger destination or a menu built around indulgent add-ons.
