You know, reviews are really a hit and miss thing since each person has obvious differences in standards and expectations so you kind of have to take them for what they are.
The negative reviews I read almost kept me from coming here but I went with my gut since it was really in the mood for a good solid malt.
I was not disappointed.
The service from the moment you walk in the door is extremely friendly. Albeit it may be considered a bit slow for some people, my family and I are usually never in a rush when we go out and are always just happy to enjoy the moment of being out and knowing that we dont have to clean up.
The menu is quite expansive and with all of the different combinations that they offer, it is easy to find something to your liking. Obviously it is a burger joint but they have plenty of other things if that is not your taste.
My wife and I both had burgers and our 5 year old who never eats chicken fingers not only asked for them but ate them up.
The food was cooked well and the flavors were spot on. The malt we ordered took a bit longer than I thought it should, but SO worth the wait. And for $6 it was huge. I can pay nearly the same thing at Red Robin and get half the size malt.
The place gets top marks for atmosphere. Like others have stated, you would not know that this place is total 50's retro from the outside.
For two burgers, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, a large malt and a half malt (for our son) the check was $35. To me that is a total winner.
You will have to make your own judgement but my family will certainly be back.
On a side note, the onion rings are wonderful. Just a thin light batter so they are not all breading and grease like most you get at other places.
