| - Dimly lit to the point that you will be sitting in the dark for a good five to ten minutes before your eyes can adjust. Do not worry because you will not get robbed or shanked in that time. Maybe I am being optimistic and giving people too much credit, but everyone from the patrons to the staff are nice and tend to let you be.
The atmosphere is nothing too impressive. The eclectic mix of white Christmas lights, plush carpet, a slow turning watermill, and fake flowers on vines felt haphazardly thrown together.
The service is quick and straight forward. Unless you are a regular, or sit at the bar, you are left to your own devices. The music is at a reasonable level to where you can carry a conversation, but still enjoy the hits from the 80's and before. With that being said, the patrons were all in their late thirties, or beyond. That is not a bad thing, but I cannot imagine this to be a hot spot for hopping nightlife.
Even so, the 1/2lb. steak burgers keeps drawing people back. The large juicy burgers are cooked to your desire temperature. In a world where most places will decide what is the appropriate degree to serve your food, I thank those who allow me to have my food, my way. The bare burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onions, and a slice of dill pickle. Bacon and other premium toppings (grilled onions and mushrooms) will run .75 and cheese will cost .50. With each order, you get a generous layer of shoestring fries on the bottom of each burger. Even if you went crazy, the burger would not be over ten dollars. This is the best deal for a quality burger. Is it a great deal for the price? Of course. Would it still be a good deal at $10? I think so. Fast food places charge more for an inferior product. Instead treat yourself to something better.
For $20, my friend and I got a bar drink and a burger each. Cannot beat that. The honey mustard is delicious. I ended up using that more than the ketchup. Dipping my fries in it reminded me of my childhood and how I would only eat McDonald's fries with the sweet and sour sauce.
