I usually never leave reviews for restaurants but god, their burgers are so good. Very friendly and prompt service and our food came out quickly. The decor inside creates an upbeat and comfortable atmosphere. 10/10, I'm definitely coming here

BEST BURGER IN TRAVERSE CITY!! We arrived right before closing and they were kind enough to let us still order. The burger was super good and so were the fries!!

Stopped by because I always, and I mean ALWAYS see the parking lot full when I drive by.The first telltale sign of "I gots to check this place out!"Brought my Daughter and son in law to break the place in.The place is a homage to Americana with lots of bits of memorabilia from over the years. It's clean and bright, family friendly and folks, they have their game down.You start with this luscious atmosphere to walk into, and a simple menu offering fare that is just as simple, only with a tasty twist that will keep you coming back.The star is the Smash burger. This is one quarter pound of 85 percent lean locally sourced ground beef with a fantastic flavor that is literally smashed with a weight through out cooking. The result is something that looks like the perfect beef snowflake. By that I mean that the edges are pressed into a seared crispness that delights the taste buds.Let's talk options!We had three different burgers; the Tower, the Oliver and the LauraThe Tower is the ultimate burger deluxe only with a delightful combination of I'm not sure just what, but Hugo Sauce is a nice smokey wing sauce with sweet side.The Oliver is about to become your favorite olive burger only this puppy comes with a pimento sauce that is the perfect balance of creamy, salty deliciousness you would never expect.The Laura is a name that might easily slip past your eye. Back up. The Laura is something not to be missed! If you like a good mushroom burger, go to a drive thru. The Laura is greatness. Like all the Burgers, it is the most unique mushroom Swiss that I ever had. Caramelized onions and mushrooms with the perfect combination of horseradish and mayo. Superb!Now, what goes better than fries and a soft drink, am I right?Not so fast.There are the usual suspects for beverages, but. They. Have. Northwoods Sodas!!! A local favorite produced locally. You haven't lived until you try one!Fries. Oh my. The Parmesan fries are large enough to feed three adults. It would be enough to say that their batter dipped hand cut fries are good on their own. These however, have their own stand alone status.Liberally covered with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, chopped green onion (scallions?) and another brilliant combination of sauces that appear to be a creamy sweet and salty that will make you cry.Ok, maybe I'm just getting emotional ?What are you waiting for? Go check them out!!!Parking: If the lot is full, so are they. Expect a wait.

Great sandwich. Ate the turkey bacon sandwich with fries. Growing up, I used to pack my sandwich with potato chips, and that's exactly the way it was made at Glendales. I appreciate the way it was made. Thank you!

Best burgers south of the Mackinaw Bridge! Easy to locate just off the main drag. Clean, fun, family resturant.
