| - I wanted to go to one of my fav places, Joe Blo, for my birthday but the restaurant was closed for a private event. I was too cold to walk for long to find an alternate spot and was close to settling for pizza delivery until my friend remembered a cool restaurant nearby that he had gone to once...
As soon as I walked in, I felt warm and cozy. Maybe it was because I was cold and any place with a temperature above -5 degrees would have felt great, but there was something about this place that made me feel right at home, as if I was in someone's living room. Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed by our friendly waitress and were given the table of our choice. Both my friend and I opted for the burger special with salad and fries. The special for that day was a burger topped with a cheddar bacon sauce, strips of bacon, and onion rings. There was a little too much if the cheddar sauce for my liking, but whatever I could just scrape some off. The burger itself was cooked well an had great flavor. The fries were nothing special...just basic French fries similar to what you'd find in a fast food place. But, they were hot and a few shakes of salt and pepper helped. I was pleasantly surprised by the drink prices, which were some of the lowest I've seen. We both had pints of beer, which were nice and cold. There's nothing like a cold burger and a cold beer. For dessert, we each had a delicious chocolate-coconut bar with some kind of cream filling. I'm not a fan of coconut, but I really liked it.
I truly enjoyed this restaurant. It's just a few block from where my friend lives, and I can see us spending time here whenever we want to go out for a drink, but desire a more casual, laid-back atmosphere. Sure there are better burger places, but I would not hesitate to return to this one.
