| - This place is in a good location, halfway between downtown Fort Mill and Tega Cay. Although it is located in a small strip mall, the interior is really pretty and every chair is padded (unlike some of the area's newer burger spots).
You order at the counter, but food is delivered to your table. I ordered The Nutty Goat, the weekly special, which was a burger with garlic herb goat cheese, pecans, pickles, pickled onions, and chipotle aioli. I asked for it without pickle but it came with. I ended up removing the pickled onions - they were tasty, but there were a lot of them and since they were cold, I felt like they were detracting from the burger.
The burger was DELICIOUS; one of the better burgers I've had, and the best in Fort Mill by a considerable margin. I ordered onion straws as my side and they were equally good - perfectly crisp with a subtle spice to the breading. The salted caramel milkshake did not taste like either salt or caramel to me but I have no complaints, because it was really good - perfectly thick and creamy with excellent flavor.
Quibbles: the price - my meal, which included a bottle of water, was close to $20.00 with tax, which is kind of a lot for a Saturday burger lunch - and the pacing. My bottle of water was delivered 4 minutes after I ordered; within 15 minutes of the order I had my food. My shake, however, did not appear until almost 25 minutes after the order, and only after I had returned to the counter to ask about it (I had forgotten initially that I'd ordered it; the person dropping off my food did not mention it at all.)
Regarding pricing: I saw some reference in reviews to a $7 burger. All burgers today were between $9-$12; the weekly special was $11.00. All sides are listed as "Starters" on the menu at $4 in price; the menu indicates burgers come with hand-cut fries. I asked if I could have something else, and was told I could select from any of their sides. Two thumbs up on those onion straws: MUCH better than the other local joint. Oh, and the bottle of water was $1.50 - I was happily surprised with that price.
