The burgers, especially the Bison, are generously sized, well-cooked, and delicious, as are the fries. However, there have been occasions where they have run out of certain burgers or even soda. Additionally, despite being a casual establishment, the prices are high and the uncomfortable metal chairs and lack of adequate air conditioning and heating leave something to be desired. I gave it four stars because, in all honesty, the burgers are superior to other burger joints and bars in the area.

The burgers were really well-made. My Supreme burger had bacon, cheddar cheese, a fried onion, and two additional fried onion rings. The meat patty was tender and juicy. The waffle fries and onion rings were delicious, and we were given four different dipping sauces to try. The habanero sauce and homemade special sauce were my favorites. However, for the price, I expected complimentary sides with the burger. Also, I asked for my burger to be cooked medium rare, but it came out closer to medium well. All of our burgers were overcooked. I also felt that there should have been more lettuce or another vegetable in the burger to balance out the greasy and meaty flavors. Overall, the flavors were great, but a bit pricey. Make sure to order your burger rarer than you want it because they tend to overcook the patties. It's a good option for a quick lunch.

I used to enjoy it more when they had a variety of exotic meat choices such as lamb, bison, and ostrich, but those options seem to have disappeared. Our recent visit was disappointing. I ordered a chicken sandwich that was extremely overcooked and dry, making it difficult to chew. The sandwich was also made with the end-piece of the bread loaf, adding to the overall lack of moisture. The only good part of the meal was the sweet potato fries, which were delicious. To top it off, they were delayed in bringing out a milkshake we ordered, and then charged us an extra $1 to change it to a to-go order on our bill.

I was absolutely shocked when I tried the Original Impossible vegan burger- not only is the texture of the patty impossibly similar to an actual burger patty (no pun intended), but also the patty was tender and juicy like a real burger! Also, the entire Original Impossible burger is vegan, even the cheese. I was so satisfied with my experience here. Can't wait to go back again!
