    “Overall, this was a pretty good burger. The biggest downfall was, it was not cooked to order although it should’ve been it was very thick, and the value was definitely not there. Having to pay for the burger and then pay for a side item on top is not my cup of tea. The toppings were fresh, but couldn’t really taste the cheese. Overall experience at the restaurant was great.”

    “Burger bun was good. Charred just like the name, however it was not medium like requested. It was cooked medium well or close to well done. Flavor of burger was good. The cheese wasn’t tasted so I think it could use a thicker slice. Was not too sloppy. Onions were good and crisp and lettuce was alright. I would love to see some burger sauce or something to put on it.”
