    “Perfectly cooked medium burger very thick and juicy patty. I gave it a nine because it wasn’t seasoned. Toppings were great couldn’t really taste the cheese a whole lot but overall toasted sesame bun lasted till the end. Value was right in the middle although I think it could be a buck cheaper. Good service on a Monday afternoon.”

    “Wow. Pleasantly surprised here. This was a good burger. Bun was toasted abs held together. Burger was perfectly cooked and came out medium. Meat was cooked perfectly and juicy, could use a little more seasoning to be perfect. The cheese was melted and good. The toppings could use some ramping up, if it had some better toppings I would say an A burger. No sauce, so a sauce could really make it pop. All in all a great burger. I would definitely recommend this for a place to try downtown Wilmington.”
