“Burger was full of flavor and cooked to order. Toppings were crisp and just right for this burger. The bun lasted and held up against all the juice from the meat. Not a fan of the fries so I got coleslaw. Service was a little slack but the restaurant was clean. Value killed it, burger was $21….. most expensive burger I’ve had in ILM.”
