About

A casual burger joint known for house-made patties, buns, and sauces, including a popular vegan black bean burger. The vibrant venue features a muraled patio and lively Friday-night DJ sessions, with attentive service that often earns praise. While some find the food inventive and the garlic fries standout, others note inconsistent experience and lack of indoor air conditioning.
