You can't go wrong with the big tasty. The tater tots were really good too. Didn't like sitting downstairs though...the service was terrible :(

Jalapeño ketchup !!!!! What! The burger was top notch! The warm buttery bun made me want to slap my momma. Please let this chain come to the Carolinas!

David B

Late night burgers and shakes . Really hits the spot at the end of a night out. Onion rings are more like onion strings , but are great, especially when added on top of your burger .

Deb

Best burger ever. This burger was delicious. All the fixings were fresh and “tasty .” The atmosphere was very welcoming and clean . I recommend this yummy and scrumptious burger joint .

Casey

Really good big tasty burger ! Upstairs and outside are the best places to eat! Closes late (4am)!!

Alexis Marie Designs

I had a bite of a friends burger and that was enough for me *YUM*! Their shoestring onion rings were amazing too. Can't have just one!

Ali Al-Saeed

The Big tasty was quite good. Nice fries . I think it is comparable with Shake shack with two exceptions the fact that it is cheaper and the Bun is much better at Shake shack.

Reena

Classic tasty burger was amazing. Think I dreamt about it last night!! The onion rings are real onion too! Gona miss it 😭

Joe Diaz

This place has a bar and a late closing time (4am) going for it, but if you're in the mood for an excellent burger with similar prices, you'd be better off at Flat Patties or b.good.

Sandra Rubinchik

Can't thank my family enough for immigrating to this country in pursuit of the American dream. 🇺🇸

Joe Sinkevich

Gluten free buns are a bit too bready, takes away from the burger but still good. This place is solid elevated fast food . Good shakes too.

Andrew Cerda

This is a good late-night / drunk eats go-to option. Lines are long, but the staff are patient; burgers are delicious; and the fries are hot.

Make sure to order The Big Tasty. Try the Aztec Burger if you're feeling out of the norm. Pool table in the basement is a great concept

Diana

Great veggie burgers ! The bbq onion is my fave. Get the half fries/onion rings to share with a friend!

Peter Fasano

First time and id highly rate the burgers over in-n-out burger from the west coast or zesto in Atlanta.

Kyla Truman

Get the cheese sauce for your fries ! Worth it 😍

Francesco Bleve

One of the best burgers I've ever tried. Great quality for a great price. Check it out!

Good, classic burgers and great french fries . Pretty inexpensive and fast. Recommend the Big Tasty.

Kristin Knutson

Shoestring onion rings and the Rise n' Shine burger are amazeballs. Best way to satisfy a greasy craving!

Christine Varriale

The veggie burger is amazing and can be made vegan by getting the gluten-free/vegan roll.

Remi BdY

I like the burgers but I don’t know why I always have to wait more than 20min!!

Amanda Clarke

Food was great and staff was incredible. They really went above and beyond to accommodate our large party.
