The Scene
A small, free-standing building houses this spiffed-up burger joint. The color scheme reflects the theme--dark red and white tiling, reminiscent of the marbling found in a good slab of beef. The brightly lit upstairs has a few diner-style tables and, for larger groups, booths covered in cow print.
The Food
Cooked-to-order burgers are customizable with sauces, buns and high-end toppings like Danish Blue cheese, Vermont Cheddar, Piquillo peppers and house-made guacamole. Those used to gigantic patties may consider the 100 percent Hereford burger; slightly puny, but it achieves a perfect bun-to-burger ratio. Bun choices include classic squishy white, wheat or a more-sturdy English muffin (which pairs best with the juicy, herbaceous turkey burger). The salmon burger, though a bit fishy, can be mellowed with tangy yogurt dill sauce and sweet caramelized Vidalia onions. Belgian-style fries come crisp and browned with no need for additional salt.

Even though this is a burger place it's a pretty good place to also get a grilled chicken sandwich. Hold the mayonnaise. The place is pretty calm as far as fast food goes.

I live in the neighborhood so tried it when it first opened. Not very impressive. Overcooked burger, under cooked fries. This is my 3rd time there and although they manage "medium rare", my english muffin was uncooked, and the lettuce consisted of the rib from some romaine and there were more than necessary pickles. There is clearly no quality control. And it obviously appeals to late night cravings of 20 something drinkers in the hood. That is fine after a night out of drinking but if you are looking for a good burger and fries, this is not the place.

This is a small fast-food place but there is room upstairs to eat in if you so desire. It's quite loud upstairs though. The salmon burger is very tasty.

When to Go:
Lines are out the door during the weekday lunch, evenings see a lull, and late night tends to draw a steady crowd. Come early for best ingredient selection, as some run low later in the evening.
What to Drink:
Fountain sodas, fresh lemonades, unsweetened iced teas are available, as are thick milkshakes made without phony syrups--real Belgian chocolate, Tahitian vanilla beans and fresh berries are added to the homemade ice cream.
