Great burgers, crap desserts.
We each had a burger (7th Heaven and The Tourist) and loved them both. Very juicy and delicious toppings. We also had sweet potato fries with chipotle mayo - also excellent. If we had stopped there, this would be a 5-star review.
Regrettably, we decided to stay for dessert. The first warning sign came when they advertised that they only use Smith Dairy - as if that's a good thing. The brownie sundae was mediocre: scoops of cheap Ruggles ice cream, "chocolate sauce" that was watered down, and didn't taste like chocolate, and the brownie tasted like it came from an instant mix.
The pumpkin pie milkshake was weak. Again, low quality Smith Dairy milk, with some pumpkin spice thrown in. There are places with great milkshakes, but this wasn't one of them.
If they're going to brag about using quality local ingredients, they need to ditch Smith Dairy and go with a better brand like Hartzler or Snowville Creamery - much better quality, and actually tastes like milk is supposed to taste.
The dessert completely changed the experience for us, and we felt like crap the rest of the day.
Besides the dessert, the atmosphere was a letdown. Too many tables crammed into too small a space. Even in a booth, you still have people sitting nearby in your face. If we eat here again, we'll probably just do takeout. And skip the dessert.
== UPDATE 9/23/2015 ==
We've been back multiple times since then, and although we've continued to avoid the desserts, we have consistently had good experiences with the food and service. For this reason I will increase my rating to 4 stars. Just SKIP the dessert!
