Very mixed bag. Atmosphere was relaxed. Food was quite good. Service left quite a bit to be desired but then again it's only one person. Waited for EVERYTHING. She seemed to have something really important going on in the back the whole time. And it wasn't just our table.

I ordered a burger, wife and oldest ordered smash burgers. All three patties were completely identical. No smash at all. Wasn't asked what temperature I wanted. My youngest got chicken tenders and was thrilled. I tried them and they were awesome.

My spinach salad was delicious and loaded with all of the toppings listed on the menu (goat cheese, cranberries, red onion). They definitely didn't skimp there...and a LOT of places do! Our server was super friendly; prices were totally reasonable. I so recommend this restaurant.

The outdoor area is charming if not for the flies. Those little whirly gig thingies don't really keep the flies away. Good selection on the menu so that kids and others who like basic can find something but also some real interesting options like the crab stack.
Our server was very good and patient with us.
Two knocks. One, some servers were tossing drinks, lemons included, into the mulch next to the dining area. That cannot be helping the fly situation. The other thing was at first we thought the fries had some special seasoning on them but as we continued to eat them, pretty sure it was some bad/dirty oil they were frying them in.

The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly, but unfortunately, the burgers were absolute trash. We came specifically because of the positive reviews about the burgers, so we were surprised and disappointed by the quality. I don’t enjoy leaving negative feedback, but based on this visit, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I was very disappointed with the food after seeing so many good reviews. The oyster rockefeller burger tasted like a burnt frozen patty with some creamed spinach on top. Homemade chips were good. Atmosphere and service were good. My friend got a different burger and didn’t like his either.
