They don' have honey mustard any more. So no more 'Pelican ' Burgers . (We asked our helpful server Mike.) but anything else, from the old menu, if we have the ingredients, we'll make it.

Don't be shy about the healthy alternatives ! Both the turkey and whole wheat bun options for any of the burgers are delicious.

The fries are so tasty, and you get endless fries ! I like the Turkey Burger with pineapples , teriyaki sauce and add avocados !!! Mmmm

Burger was great. Fries Smallest order I've ever seen, literally 15 fries . Asked the waitress , all she could say "you get endless refills" wouldn't need a refill if you brought enough the first time.

Greek salad made vegetarian with a garden burger on top instead of chicken ! Yum! And beer ! Yum!

The food is decent, but I ordered a bud light and they charge 5.60 per bottle. This is extremely pricey for domestic beer
