Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking in Hunters Point; manageable early evening but tight after 7pm. Rideshare is the easiest option on busy nights.

Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy to talk early, louder once the bar fills.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or under 10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—at least one dedicated veggie burger option plus sides.
Vegan options: Limited—some sides and possible burger modifications, but not a vegan-focused menu.
Gluten-free options: Limited—lettuce-wrapped burgers available; fries may share fryers.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want low pressure. It’s casual, social, and forgiving—more about comfort and conversation than impressing.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes, especially early evening or weekdays. Peak weekend hours may mean a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Early hours work for kids thanks to burgers and fries, but it shifts bar-forward later in the evening.
Best For
Better for: Straightforward burgers, beer, and a relaxed hang that doesn’t require planning or overthinking the menu.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet dinner, chef-driven creativity, or strong plant-based variety.
