| - I went here for brunch, and the make your own Bloody Mary bar definitely solidified a 4 star rating over a 3-3.5 range rating. Delicious garnishes! I was starving when we got there and had to wait for friends to arrive, so that definitely helped ;-)
I'm not a beef eater, so I was THRILLED to have the option of subbing a chicken burger on any of their burgers. A+ for that. While almost certainly premade and frozen, the chicken burger (with a fried egg) was absolutely delicious. The sweet potato fries are the best I've had (except for Alchemy, but theirs are very different) and a must have menu item.
The shake I had was absolutely delicious, although some of my table mates were slightly disappointed with theirs. We all got different ones, the Espresso one and Salted Caramel seemed to be the favorites. My main complaint is that for $5, the shakes are pretty small. I shared one with my husband (usually that is plenty), but it was tiny. Definitely not like going to Monty's and getting a huge metal cup plus a glass with shake in it. You are getting 10 or 12 oz at the most, don't get too excited. Everything else was very reasonably priced so it just seemed odd.
In sum, if I hadn't gone for brunch and gotten the Bloody Mary bar, I'd probably give this place a 3. The burgers are good, the fries are great, the shakes are generally good but overpriced for what they are. Definitely not your traditional "burger and shake" joint, I guess that is kinda their whole schtick, but it is a fun place for a weekend lunch or a casual week day dinner.
