| - Met the boyfriend for lunch here today. It's a cute little place, looks like a house renovated into a restaurant. I strongly suggest you come here on a nice day/evening and sit out on the deck. It's a really nice deck that sits along side Som Center Road, however you're just far enough away (and the street is not super busy) so you don't hear any loud traffic noise.
I say this because when you walk inside the restaurant it kind of smells like moth balls aka your grandma's house (well my grandma's house- sorry gramms I love you...RIP!) and the windows haven't been opened in forever.
So like I say...eat outside.
We were quickly seated (outside), service was quick. We started with ice tea, which tasted freshly brewed- definite plus. He ordered a cheeseburger, I ordered the pretzel bacon cheddar burger. We both ordered them medium (personally I prefer medium rare, but always skeptic until I know more about the restaurant and how fresh their meat is); anyways...the burgers were cooked perfectly, just a slight pink in the middle. The bacon was yummy...Applewood Smoked, again cooked just right with a nice crisp, no blubbery fat. The smoky flavor was prominent- good thing in my opinion. The pretzel bun was good, but lacked any special flavor.
The burgers came with a side of fries. Not sure if they were fresh or pre-frozen, but they were pretty darn good.
My biggest complaint about the food was that it was really and I mean really greasy. The bun on my burger was almost a gonner, but I was able to save it by putting it on a side of the plate that didn't have grease. The fries also a little greasier than I would have preferred but honestly that didn't keep me from gobbling them down.
In the end, the service was decent (although I had to search for the server and ask for a refill on the ice tea), however I think the prices a bit on the pricier side for what you get (about $8-10 per greasy burger and fries).
I would go back here again but only after I have given other places in the area a try first.
