Excellent. The beef and cheese are both local and delicious. Make sure to order "red" to get full flavor. Also, the hand cut fries were hot and salted just right. I will come back every time I visit!

Blake Sirach

Great burgers . Some of the specials are absurdly huge, so go for the big mini if you want manageable. If you are trying to eat light by getting a salad -- don't fool yourself--bigger than the burgers .

Christy F

Delicious burgers & an expansive beer list . The truffle fries & shishito peppers are a must try and every burger is delicious. I always leave here stuffed & happy.

Jerry Miller

Try the cheese fries & The American Classic burger with a few Avery White Rascals to wash it all down. Damn good!! #iLoveCVille

Ellie Pines

A solid beer selection and some choice burgers . Oh, and sweet potato fries . Prices are a bit high, but typically worth it.

Jen J

Get the cheese fries and a Cesar salad if your vegetarian ( both were amazing) NOT the vegan beet burger ! Unless you really love beets .

Latarika Young

Had the American Classic mini style and it was delicious! Paired it with sweet potato fries ????????

Gregory Rogers

Cristina S.

Th executive burger is very delicious...extremely filling... And definitely not low cal . Great quality beef but if you are not ok with rare red meat tell them not pink... Even the pink comes very rare

Jerry Miller

Try "The Southern" or the "Citizen Burger " with an Agave Wheat or White Rascal to wash it down. So good!

Peter Blumberg

Hard to get a seat but it’s worth the wait for quality burgers , good beer and nice atmosphere.

Mat Collis

Lovely burger and friendly service . Pointless having a gluten free bun but the burger inside not being gluten free though

Tom Whitt

Fried pickles were some of the best I've ever had. Burgers are delicious. I'm coming back.

Michael Whitman

Ask the waitress if there are any unlisted beers available. Great selection on the menu, but there are also good ones off of it as well !

If you're a true French, do not order the foie gras here. it is far from being what you expect. trust me. c'est vrai!

Liz Kay

Everyone is right, the burgers are great. The cheesy fries too.

Skip all the fancy pants toppings and enjoy the burgers for what they are....really good meat

Jennifer R.

The local beef is amazing! Filet mignon on a bun . Worth every penny.

Darryl Rojas

The Maine Root Ginger Beer is the perfect refreshment for a quick break from work.

Julia Lord Nickle

Mini burger is the perfect size!

Molly Schroeder

Grilled Cheese and Sweet Potato fries are the best! Add avocado !

Get the fried dill pickles . They are to die for.

Mayur Patel

Great food. Recommend the Hotness.

Jody

Margaritas are normally good. Tonight not so much - too sour, no tequila . Lesson learned, stick with beer .

Adam Holden-Bache

No kids menu here so the cheapest kids options are an $8 4oz burger or a $9 grilled cheese .

Laura Miller

Love The Southern burger .

Kari Rippetoe

Grilled cheese is extremely greasy. Order it without butter.

Richard White

Everthing it's good.

Jordan Herring

The truffle fries are badass.
