Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on 2nd Street and surrounding blocks, typically easier to find after 8pm. Public lot at Bay Shore/Ocean available. Arrive 15 minutes early on weekends.
Dress code: Casual beach attire perfectly fine - band tees encouraged, shorts and sandals welcome. This is a metal burger joint, not fine dining.
Noise level: Loud - heavy metal soundtrack and outdoor beach ambiance mean you'll need to lean in. Not ideal for quiet conversation.
Weekend wait: 30-45 minutes Friday-Sunday 6-8pm peak, especially rooftop deck seating. Walk-ins accepted but expect a wait.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait Tuesday-Thursday lunch service. Dinner gets busier after 7pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes - Impossible burger patty available as substitute on any burger, plus veggie-focused build-your-own options
Vegan options: Limited - Impossible patty with vegan-friendly toppings available, but confirm bun and sauce ingredients with server
Gluten-free options: Lettuce wrap available for any burger in place of bun. Fries cooked in shared fryer.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for casual first dates if you both appreciate metal culture and creative burgers. The rooftop ocean views add romance, but loud music means it's better for fun vibes than deep conversation. Skip if you want quiet intimacy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - they operate walk-in only. Weekday evenings you'll likely get seated within 15 minutes. Weekend dinner expect 30-45 minute wait for rooftop, though indoor bar seating turns over faster. Arrive before 6pm or after 8:30pm to avoid peak rush.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids (10+) who enjoy the rock theme and don't mind loud music. Full kids menu unavailable but burgers are shareable. The casual beach atmosphere and outdoor seating work well for families during early dinner hours (5-7pm).
Best For
Better for: Creative burger combinations you won't find elsewhere (peanut butter-sriracha?), metal memorabilia atmosphere, and the only beachfront burger spot with rooftop bay views. Food Network pedigree shows in execution - these aren't gimmick burgers, they're legitimately delicious.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, prefer classic simple burgers over adventurous toppings, need Monday service, or don't want to deal with beach parking. For traditional burgers, hit Hamburger Henry's instead.
