Came in after a Dr visit for lunch for a beer and burger. There were no disappointments whatsoever! I can't stop thinking about that burger... so good!

I really hate to echo what others have said because the service was excellent and their standards for cleanliness were better than I have seen in a long time but the food was where it fell short.. The wings were pretty good. No complaints there and definitely a menu item to try. The kids had the Mac n' Cheese and it was good - lacking in seasoning and flavor a little for me but the kids were happy. However, everyone's burgers were soooo dry and tasteless. The ketchup couldn't save mine. For the price and burger issues, it makes it difficult to want to give a burger establishment another try.

To say the least, very disappointing. We went in knowing the burgers were priced high, but thought we should give it a try, thinking that if they are selling burgers for these prices they must be good. We ordered a burger and the side of hand cut fries. The burger finally arrived (very slow service, and we were one of three tables). The meat was cooked beyond all recognition...dry, and not even enough cheese on it to help it out. The special order of fries were not special, instead of hand cut fries we got a small order of frozen generic fries... $8 for them as well. To sum it up, with the dry burger, generic fries, and two adult beverages we were all in at over $40.00. This is yet another restaurant we have visited in the last week that is understaffed and under managed. It seems this business needs to put a CLOSED sign up, rather than continue to charge a premium price for sub par service and food. The reviews I've read since I left seem to indicate much of the same.

Rachel the owner great to see the Ms. boss come and take care of business. I'm talking bout she's making sure everything is on point and ready. Much love here. Wonderful person great vibes. CJ our bartender, immaculate hospitality. The food here is delicious made with love. And I'm talking about everything tasting fresh. Beer great selections. It's a hole in a the wall. I can't believe more people aren't here. They also have happy hour 5-7 Parking in the back of building. Minimum parking next to the chiropractor. There's also another one in tahoe city with a view of the lake. Next stop here I come. Stay happy stay healthy

This restaurant is Fabulous, the food is fresh, and the variety is incredible, Love to go on Tuesdays because they have a Jazz Band playing at 6:30 pm. this is a family-friendly place. You will love the atmosphere. The servers are very personable and just awesome!

I have eaten here many times and not only is the service impeccable but this is truly a craft bar when it comes to food everybody wants to sell craft beer but this place pushes the best craft up food I have had in a long time here's a picture of my incredible f****** salad.

I expected more from the billboard they have. Tiny buns and really no flavor to the meat. The bartender was nice she kept my GF and I entertained. If we go back it will be for the drinks not the food.

Tuesday Jazz Night!! Always fun finding live music in town! What a treat! Featuring Rich Metz from First Take! They played many of the standards so seamlessly. Then we were treated by a wonderful singer, Barbara. Then Susan Vixen blessed us with her vocal prowess!! We enjoyed the ahi tower, the Lamb burger, as well as a custom burger. Everyone enjoyed their meals! The staff is great, very attentive, friendly and work so hard to make it a great experience!

May be the worst place I've ever been. Surf and turf made me feel ill. Every problem you see is apparent to this day. Wrong burger temperature, it is supremely overpriced, confuse mac and cheese with the grilled cheese, slow service, one cup of water guaranteed, cold food. It is all here. Three cocktails, three burgers, and a messed up sandwich went for $134. I did not know I was a local being taken advantage of. I think it deserves two stars because I did eat my entire overcooked overpriced underseasoned burger.

Overall we had a fabulous time here for my sons 14th birthday. The highlight for sure was live band that sang happy birthday to my son but then continued to rib him all night long because he kept trying to pretend it wasn't his birthday to avoid embarrassment. His dad and I wanted maximum embarrassment for 14 and they delivered. Our first waitress had only been working for a total of two hours, I forget her name but she was awesome. I'm vegan, my husband is lactose intolerant and my mom has a lot of food restrictions. We must have asked her 100 questions that she definitely wouldn't know being new but she went and got answers to every one of them with a smile. The place was packed and it was a heck of a first day but she did great. We got a second waitress for our actual food order. My son and his friend both got the cowboy burger, and both had empty plates after declaring them super delicious. I'm not actually sure what my dad got. Maybe a double cowboy burger? I don't know but it was giant and looked wonderful. He ate the whole thing and said it's the best burger he's had in a very long time. My husband got the lobster grilled cheese and was let down. It looked pretty meh and he wasn't impressed. He also got the wings but asked for sauce on the side so he could take them to lunch the next day but they came sauced. He also rated them a "meh". My mom got the lamb burger on a lettuce bun and liked it. My son also got the Mac n cheese and said it was good but not as good as midtown. I got the vegan lettuce wraps and that's my reason for 4 stars. Every bit of the dish was too spicy. I'm a sissy but when my mom and husband both tasted it and said "yeah that's spicy even for us" I knew it was a problem. I couldn't finish even a third of it, my face & ears hurt, my body started turning red and I had to go to the bathroom twice to rinse out my mouth and get it off my hands. I told my waitress who agreed it was spicy but did nothing about it, so I technically ended up with no dinner. Overall it was good and I think the non vegans in my family would return. I would not. The band was jazz I think so not really my type of music but I truly did enjoy that they sang to my son and then came to the table to talk to him. They also let us bring in a cake and even stored it in the fridge while we ate. Pretty great night for my son overall!

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! Server (Andrew) was super friendly! The new bar manager (Mike) also introduced himself. Good things happening here. Jazz night, Trivia, local artists. I highly recommend supporting this local gem!

Definitely a hole in the wall place! Some great options for burgers but a tad bit expensive. Server was amazing and the place had ample space. We were seated quickly and had a good lunch! They also had some good beer options.

I have found a new favorite location for food!It's not often that I have nothing to criticize, but I really don't have anything I could say even constructively. We got there right when they opened and both ordered a Moscow Mule, and an Ultimate Bloody Mary, and a Fried Pickle appetizer; Our server, Rachael was just awesome! Funny, friendly, and fast! As far as the restaraunt, super relaxed vibes, great food, and very clean. I would give 10 stars if I could!!(Fun Tip: When they ask if you want ketchup, just say yes! I think they make it in house, but I'm not totally sure. It was a very unique and very delicious ketchup... I never thought I'd rave about ketchup lol)

I took my 10year old daughter out for dinner and this is where we ended up! The food was outstanding, they had a kids menu with lots of different choices and a wide variety on the rest of the menu. I got a salmon with bacon sandwhich and the salmon was SO good, cooked perfectly and the bacon were some super thick slices!! I loved it. My daughter ordered some onion rings and we got some fried pickles and over all we had an amazing time and some awesome food. The waiter really helped us feel right at home too. Love it here.

Decided to bring my coworker to lunch and were met by the loveliest server. She made us feel very welcomed. This place always has amazing food.
