Food was great. Seems about average price for a quick sit down meal. I love the ambiance of the restaurant as it reminds me of Lee's (which was there previously) although the music was quite loud. What I did not agree with at all was the fact that our waitress was quite unfriendly and seemed annoyed that we were even there, there were no niceties exchanged at all. No "how are you doing, how has your day been, have you been here before" not a nothing but here is your table and I'll be back with some water. When she came back she took our drink orders, I ordered a margarita, to which she replied "it's not happy hour" I was mildly confused and said "okay", she then walked away leaving me wondering if you can only order margaritas during happy hour? But, to my surprise, she came back a few minutes later with a margarita. She didn't check on us at all throughoutour meal, only coming back once to drop off the beer that my fiancé ordered when our food was brought out, and that was a quick "here's your beer" and off she went until she came back to bring us our checks and ask if we needed boxes. This is when we found out that we had been charged a large party gratuity of 22%. There were 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 children. It was not explained to us upon being seated that we would be charged an extra fee for having 6 of us, nor did I see it posted on the menu anywhere that large parties would be charged an automatic 22%. The girl who served us definitely didn't deserve any of the almost $40 tip that was made off of our 2 bills. And if you're going to charge an automatic 22% gratuity for a large party it needs to be clearly marked for groups to see or explained before seating.

Probably the best burgers in town IMO. Fries are great and service is good.I always leave some sort of constructive feedback on all reviews so here it is:The visibility of the tap list on the wall is extremely low. It is black lettering on a dark green wall in low lighting.This makes it difficult for those with vision impairments including the elderly and color blind individuals to read.To be more accessible and inclusive of these people groups, I would recommend painting the letters white and/or mounting a spotlight to increase visibility.

The food was alright, but seemed a bit overpriced. I left hungry after spending $17 on my meal. Unfortunately they were out of their shakes also during my visit. Probably doesn't happen every time, but it was disappointing since it wasn't even 2pm yet.

Absolutely insanely overpriced! I went there for lunch and ordered chicken strips and fries with a dr. Pepper which rang up as $32.00. And the drink wasn’t refillable. 3 okay chicken strips and a side of their thick fries and a drink should have been MAYBE 15-20. Never going here again until they reevaluate their prices.

The filling station is great if you don't have dietary restrictions. I'm celiac and had to send a dish back yesterday for cross contamination. I had already talked to our server about the fact that I am celiac and gluten free. We had been told the fries were not gf. So when I got my burger and there were fries touching my gluten free bun, I thought maybe the kitchen had made a separate batch, as some restaurants go above and beyond. To be sure, I asked if they were gf and our server made a rude face before saying "no". So I explained again that I am celiac and gf and since my burger was cross contaminated I could not eat it. She then argued with me, saying "do you have a wheat allergy" to which I responded no I am celiac I can't have gluten. She then went "but do you have an allergy" to which I said no it's an autoimmune disorder. She was rude all night and very clearly high. Celiac is protected under ADA so this is a bad look for the restaurant. I've been gluten free for 7 years and never had anybody question me.

Clean and kind. In Sunnyland it's a neighborhood joint. The gas station theme is fun, the food standard.

A little pricey but great food

Food is always rich but amazing. Exactly what you want out of a burger place. Highly recommend a milkshake while you there.

Very yummy bowls! The burgers weren't my thing, and although it's pretty pricey in my opinion it was worth it. I can't speak to the ambiance as I've always ordered takeout. But when I did the outside to go area is very cute but service does take a while since it's out of view.
