This is about as close to backyard BBQ as you can get. A nice, but not heavy char on the meat. The bun is buttered and toasted, so it resists turning into a sponge. The burger is on the greasy side, but nothing an extra 20 minutes on the treadmill won't take care of. This is the only place that I've ever been to that has more than one diet soda offering. Cooked perfectly, seasoned nicely, and a massive assortment of toppings to detract from an otherwise great burger. Enjoy.

Burger Review : Tasty-ass burger, which is worth going out of your way for.

Note--this burger has been re-reviewed, and the wheels have fallen off in terms of quality--this burger now sucks.
