Let's see. The other reviews have said a lot already, we went based on those. The burgers are clearly hand-made and good, the single order of fries is enough for 2 people to get well-stuffed, and the drinks are limited to cans of Shasta and bottled water. They have a couple little tables out under a tent in the parking lot, and there's cardboard boxes nearby for trash cans. I wouldn't call that atmosphere.... but the waitress who happened to find us was nice. They do ask that you call in your order ahead, but we just went and it wasn't a problem. For 2 mama burgers, one order fries, a bottled water and a soda was $45. I would go again in the spirit of supporting a truly indie local place.

This place is sad after COVID. It's only open twice a week. Cash only. They undercook my burger patty every time. The owner is rude, too. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
