"Favorite go to place! I have been coming here daily since it opened up as the customer service is A1 and the food always hits the spot. The Mac Daddy is the best thing I have had so far. The fries are seasoned perfectly and their strawberry lemonade is a must. To be honest I have not had anything bad here yet and I’m almost done with the menu. Shout-out to Timothy for always being on top of everything and making sure our experience is perfect every time. The bathrooms are always clean and maintained, the inside and outside seating are always cleaned, and the vibe here is chill overall. Definitely would highly recommend this place."

"First time coming in and I love it here! I got the Snickerdoodle milkshake, Double Melt Burger, and the Patty Melt. Everything was so delicious! The food has unique, bold flavors, and everything was fresh and satisfying. Service was fast, the staff were super kind, and the place was clean with great vibes. I can’t wait to come back and try more!"

"I ordered their regular single burger. And a side of their mini Mac and cheese. This is my first time there so I had no idea what was even on the menu. The employee that helped me out was very kind, greeted me as soon as I walk through the door. It wasn't too busy when I arrived so my order was ready in under 10 minutes. The mini Mac was solid. Better than a lot of places I've been to so I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 Off the back. No complaints on the burger. They asked if I wanted it medium or well done. (I always feel like its a good sign when they give you an option). With the combo of the soft bun, sauce and medium patty, the burger was super moist. I just barely tasted the salt and pepper on the patty, which I think is a good thing. It was seasoned to highlight the beef rather than just taste salt. 8/10 Overall it was a good first experience."

"Good place for a burger that isn't In n Out or similar. Recommend the patty melt but ask for the bread to be toasted a little longer. Mac n cheese was super creamy and flavorful, sweet potato fries were nice and crispy but soft in the center, and the shake was hand made. Soda fountain has all real sugar bougie sodas but they offer canned drinks as well."

According to him, they use a mix of angus beef and wagyu beef to make the patty and You can go for medium or well done. Loved this place 😊"
