(Friend still dreams of their award-winning burger with the donut buns making it onto their regular menu. We both had different burgers with apples in it but wished they were diced or somehow spread out more in the burger. The Caesar salad dressing was a bit runny the fries weren't crisp. Normally the servers are very knowledgeable but this new guy didn't know what the feature burger was, didn't ask if we wanted drinks or dessert. There used to be featured appetizers but forgot to ask since didn't see it posted. He seemed a bit overwhelmed though it wasn't that busy on the long weekend. Also, he seemed in a rush to finish his shift. After he left, the server who took over was very friendly didn't mind us staying around to chat. We did miss seeing the list of past stuffed burgers on the wall (as it showed the creative combinations we might see again . Ample parking is always a plus!

Tough since we were on a crunch to get to our event. Great location and if there’s an event at the saddle dome, they’ll let you park for free

From time of order to delivery of our food it took an hour. This made our timeline very tight. Other people in the restaurant were taking theirs to go as soon as it arrived at their table in order to make the event on time. The hamburger certainly was not the best in the city and when it finally arrived was not the burger that my son ordered but something with a completely different stuffing. Since we were short on time he ate it anyway. The server did not seem too concerned. The potato wedges were burned on the outside and raw on the inside and had no flavour. My sliders arrived 5 minutes after the other food hit the table. This was not the experience we expected from the reviews and we would not return.

Their mac and cheese had a few drops of Tabasco sauce, which was enough to put my kids off, and the peanut butter and jelly sandwich could have been better.
