| - What a wonderful addition to Great Northern!! Ended up here yesterday with a friend and her 11 month old for lunch before heading inside the mall to shop and we had a great experience! I love the atmosphere- slightly upscale burger joint, but casual enough to swing by for a burger pre-shopping spree. We walked in around lunch time so they were pretty packed, as can be expected. But, we were seated right away upstairs. The host and hostess in the front were very friendly, talkative and accommodating.
The friendliness didn't end downstairs with the hosts. Our server was great! He was VERY friendly and attentive. Came by a few times before us ordering our food - to get drink orders, explain the menu/specials, and to take our orders - and then again multiple times after we got our food - to ensure we had everything we needed, make sure we were enjoying everything just fine, and for drink refills. Like I mentioned, they were pretty busy since it was lunchtime so I was impressed with the amount of attention he still gave us.
Like most people have said in their reviews, I like the concept of this place - locally raised beef, local beers (decent beer selection!), etc. They have monthly appetizer and burger specials. I REALLY wanted to try the fried pretzel bites and fried pickles, but figured one fried thing during my meal was enough and I wasn't letting go of getting fries with my meal ;) - Anyways, I ordered the naked burger (no bun) with a veggie burger - added grilled onions and shrooms and some pepperjack cheese. The veggie burger was super flavorful and the toppings added to the flavor! The meals don't come with fries so you need to order your side separately, and I got the skinny fries (they have truffle fries too!) and they were great. My friend got a burger and she loved it - thick and juicy..
Side note - I must say for all the vegetarians/non beef eaters out there - you WILL find food here. And the only options are not the salad or pita sandwich like a review before me said. You can make any burger with a veggie patty or create your own with a veggie burger patty. Multiple apps are veggie friendly. And, if you eat meat, just not beef- they have a chicken option instead of using a beef patty.
Overall, I think I'll definitely be back when I'm around Great Northern. Service, food, and atmosphere were wonderful and all in all, wasn't expensive at all - Veggie burger, regular burger, 2 orders of fries, kids meal grilled cheese+fries, and 2 drinks = 27 dollars ... not bad at all.
PS I was looking for it on the opposite side of Sears - by Wild Mango, but it's by the theater, only accessible from the outside. So, if you see the entrance to the mall by the theater and the new Asian restaurant, you'll see Rail right next to both of those :)
