| - Companion and I arrived with 8 friends to sample this establishment.
Because of a group on the back porch which took a lot of the chairs outside, our seating was limited to 2 small tables and a high top. Not the worst thing in the world, but not totally comfortable either.
The first thing we noticed was the self serve fountain area. They had a selection that was a bit unique of flavors that everyone seem to like a lot. In particular, they had red cream soda which seemed to be a big hit with everyone.
Ordering is done at the counter. Most burgers are made of two patties sandwiched together with a filling inside of them. They were also fairly large and made a full meal.
I noticed that all the stuffed burgers were cut in half when served. I assume this is so that they can make sure they cheese or whatever stuffing is selected is properly cooked. Not a bad idea, but a bit different than I have seen before.
The assortment of fillings is large, ranging from sauteed onions to jalapeno's to assorted cheeses and more.
My burger, stuffed with onions and cheese was excellent. While I prefer my burgers rare of medium rare, because of the fillings, cooking it this way is not possible; however, the burger was tasty and was not lacking in the juicy department.
Companion had the only burger in the group that wasn't loved. The jalapeno's in the burger were raw and included the seeds and membranes making for a very hot and spicy burger. Companion was not able to eat the burger, and to the credit of the owner, it was immediately taken off the bill and companion was offered something different at no cost.
There is no lack of customer service here. The owner checked on each table multiple times to make sure everyone was happy, not only in our group, but in the entire restaurant. Everyone in our party agreed that the burgers were great and the service was excellent.
The restaurant was spotless as were the rest rooms even though the place was quite crowded.
4 stars for outstanding service, good food, and good cleanliness.
