Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking around Union Square is scarce and metered; nearby garages like the Post Street Garage typically run $5–8 per hour.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, tees, and sneakers are fine; many guests are coming from shopping or hotel stays.
Noise level: Moderate to lively; music and bar chatter are present but you can still hold a conversation at a table.
Weekend wait: 20–30 minutes for a table; bar seating often turns faster.
Weekday lunch: N/A—kitchen opens after 4pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads and sides are available, though burgers dominate.
Vegan options: Limited—customizations possible but no dedicated vegan burger.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free buns; fries and salads are safer options.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better suited for casual meetups or pre-concert bites than romantic first dates—it’s lively, affordable, and relaxed.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t typically required. Arrive early for bar seats if it’s busy.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young kids; geared toward adults and groups. Teens may be fine with burgers and bar seating.
Best For
Better for: Faster service and lower prices than many Union Square sit-down restaurants—great for groups on a budget.
Skip if: Skip if you want a quiet, romantic meal or dedicated vegan/gluten-free options.
