| - I stopped in here for a burger at the recommendation of one of my best friends, and a person I generally agree with on food. Have to say the Shines Burger was excellent. Perfectly cooked, great flavor, good bun. If I could name one complaint it was too saucy, but the sauce was great. Served with a pickle and chips by default, I have to say the price was certainly reasonable and both the pickle, which had a garlicy flavor which I liked, and the chips which were home made and seasoned well were great. Food came up quickly, which I appreciated since I was in a rush. Since I went for lunch I didn't have any cocktails or a beer but it appears they have a solid selection of beverages, maybe not any wines but that wouldn't be surprising for this type of place. Good selection of people there when I was, with an older retired group, a couple of working class guys across from me at the bar and a group of mid 20s guys hanging out having a few sitting at a table behind me. Seemed like everyone was well served and happy to be there.
One thing I noticed, there was a definite smell of stale cigarette smoke. Based on other reviews it seems like they have or used to have a smoking room connected. Didn't bother me much, but it might bother some.
