    “Too much going on it seemed. The bourbon sauce tasted like taking a swig of straight whiskey in between a bite. Not my thing but could be nice for others. The meat was juicy and cooked well but not as much flavor as the other burger. Couldn’t taste the pickles and the bun was the star of the show.”

    “Was a bit messy picking it up. The bun was firm to hold but soft to eat but greasy. The green was arugula as advertised but large almost like spinach. Cheese was thin. Burger was flavorful but overpowered by the potato bun which had a strong potato flavor. I asked got no onions and it came with onions, I added pickles on the side which had no flavor. For half price burger Monday, definitely worth it. Service was attentive.”

    “Burger look fantastic had a sesame seed bun which held up to the end, the meat didn’t have a whole lot of flavor, but it was moist and good. The topping were fresh, but I couldn’t really taste the cheese. Overall great value for a Monday night special. ”

    “Burger looked great when it hit the table. That thousand island drip in the photo read as a good omen. The best parts of this burger were the cheese and the sauce. Meat was cooked well, but quality was so-so. It’s probably meat from a Sysco truck, but I came on a Monday night when burgers here are half price, so I’m fine with that. I do wish everything on the plate had been hotter (fries especially had gotten too cool), but overall this burger hits the spot when it’s half priced. My biased tip is that if you’re a pickle person, you should ask for extra!! It came with maybe two pickle slices.”

    “The Wild Bunch was delicious. The bun was soft and held together, patty was juicy and flavorful, cheese was melted throughout, and the chimichurri shaved ribeye on top was a lovely add on. The bitterness of the arugula cut into the sweetness of the spicy mayo. Very pleased and got it half price on Monday.”

    “Great amazing burger. The jalapeño cream cheese was tasty. The patties were seasoned well. This was half off burger night too, and the value was definitely there. I like the fact they use arugula instead of traditional lettuce. The bacon was tasty. I counted the cheese as the jalapeño cream cheese and it was very tasty. Definitely recommend going here, and Mondays are half off burgers.”

    “A really solid burger. Well balanced, a good portion of the meat and generous toppings. Pickles could be more pickled, which is a bummer because I love pickles. The sesame seed bun is FANTASTIC and one of the highlights of the burger. There is sauce on this burger but it's a bit lost with the cheese and other toppings. Overall solid and a burger I would get again.”

    “Really decent. Came on half price night. Would probably not get again unless on half price. Not really getting a lot of the whiskey bacon coming through and some of the flavor gets lost amid the items on the burger. Cheese isn’t my personal favorite, like a good old fashioned American slice but it’s ok. Overall it’s got all the components there so I can’t dock a score there but it all seems to get lost in everything. Big shout out for the sesame seed bun. It was a solid bun that held up. Big ups for not being incredibly oily. Again I’ll say all around decent.”
