Lets just get to the point.
You don't come to Stevenson's for beer or the vintage bowling machine. You come for the burgers. My first experience was last summer. My friend who doubles as the area's Miller rep swore by this place and brought a group of us there. You walk in and think to yourself "the rumors must be a joke". Even my parents thought this upon entry. But...books...covers...no judgment here.
We all ordered burgers and fries. I was immediately mesmerized by Bruce. The quiet yet friendly owner will take your order and go straight to the old school flattop grill on the other side of the bar. He cooks everything right in front of you. What I was pumped about was the fresh cut fries. Potato - inserted in the gizmo - smack down on the lever = fries. Everything was delicious!
The rumors are true. Cheap eats. Great burgers. Chill old school atmosphere. See for yourself!
