Food was absolutely amazing! Portion size was great ordered two appetizers (duck lettuce wraps and the pork ribs).

Update: Just went back and had the best burger we’ve had in a long time. Menu seems updated, food was great. Very happy this time around! Unfortunately had a couple bad experiences lately. Latest one they messed up the take out order by forgetting one of two entrees. Had to drive back but they didn't rush the order. Waited another 15 minutes to make a club sandwich and gave me burnt fries. The worst part was they never apologized for any of it. Really easy to fix these issues. Unfortunately there are no better options in Lake Forest.

Absolute banger of a local tavern. I had the Reuben Egg Rolls and they certainly live up to whatever you think it tastes like in your mind. It was so good that I will certainly be back to get more. The burger was simple but done really, really, really well. That’s the thing, it’s no frills, old school smash burger that hits every note exactly as it should. It’s cool, it’s refreshing and everything a smash burger ought to be. I will be back again and I really enjoyed my experience here.

I was traveling by myself on business in the area and decided to have dinner here. It was a very good experience and I'm glad I did. Good food, ambiance, friendly and professional bar tender too I sat at the bar to eat. They had NHL, MLB, and NBA on the numerous TVs. Good job!
