| - I ordered the "Average Joe" which is pretty much a cheeseburger with LTO. It was the blandest hamburger I had ever had. Didn't seem like the meat was seasoned at all! I get the same thing at the diner down my street, for about a quarter of the cost, and it's better. The bun was okay, toasted but still soft. My husband got the "Fire in the Hole" and he loved it! From the rest of the reviews, it seems to be a star on the menu. Everything here is priced ala cart - so you have to order the burger ($8 - $12) and then sides like fries, fried pickles, etc are around $4. They have some $10 specialty cocktails and alcoholic milkshakes, and what appeared to be a good beer selection. We ordered a side of fries and it was enough for both of us to share. They put Parmesan on them which was a different touch. They taste like little garlic-bread sticks! We also got a side of the truffle dipping cheese. It really complemented the fries very well. Atmosphere was relaxed on a Saturday afternoon. There's mixed seating (hi-tops, tables, bar, and sofas/coffee tables) so something for everyone whether you're going to eat or just hang out. Server was efficient, but I wouldn't call her friendly. Indifferent, maybe? Game was on and there are several TV's. Volume can get loud. Even though it is in East Liberty, parking was a cinch. Use the garage across the street for free. As we were leaving, they were setting up valet for the evening crowd. All in all I'd say "Eh", but I would give it another try. Maybe order something else next time, or spring for the Basil cocktail.
