Food was tasty but portions were small. Way overpriced for what you get. $30 for two of us for burgers and fries. Would not go there again.

Okay, you may question 4 stars, but I'm not saying Square One is a 4 star restaurant. I'm saying its a 4 star burger joint. And to be frank, considering the only burger joints in Sarasota are Square 1, 5 Guys, and I think a new one just opened that I haven't tried yet, it might actually deserve 5. I won't give it 5 though - at least not this time. I've been here a few times and the one on Tamiami once or twice, too. What's not to like about Square 1? Burgers come out juicy, fries are tasty, its kind of hip and trendy on the inside, and they have a lot of burger/chicken/veggie burger options. My favorite is the Drunken Pig and Bull, which is a burger with pulled pork and onion rings. Really tasty. My girlfriend gets their veggie options - I think she loves their portabello burger best. This one visit, we weren't happy with the service. Our waitress took a long time to get to us - she was busy, but still - and then she checked on us just as our burgers hit the table, before we had a chance to try them, and that was it. Practically had to grab her to get a water refill. Typically the service is better than that. One of the things I find disappointing about this area - and there aren't many - is the lack of burger options outside of fast food. Really, if you consider 5 Guys more like a fast food option, then there are no competitors to Square One here. On the other hand, when I lived in Atlanta, they had an inordinate number of different burger chains to the point that I didn't understand how they could all make it. Smash Burger, Flip Burger, Counter Burger, and others. I wish some of them would move to this area, because lord knows, I love me a good burger. So in the meantime, until there's some more movement of burger joints to Tampa, I'll stick with Square One.

Decided to give Square One a try after being enticed by the smells of burgers cooking while walking through the Fresh Market parking lot. I love me a tasty burger! The inside of Square One reminded me a bit of Chipotle Grill - cement floors, clean, not much clutter. They do have a cow hides, cow boy-ish thing going on. Burgers were average. Everyone at our table had an angus burger with lettuce, tomato and onion and a side of fries. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave over. Staff was very nice and friendly.
(2)Amy P.
Outdoor seating with fans for the hotter days! Adult milkshakes, but also goodies for the small fries too. Lots of variations on the typical burger with different points of customization including protein, toppings, and bun! Service was a little slow, but as a "northerner" I suppose the speed of things down here is slower. Island Time, right? The Aloha burger was decent, but nothing to write home about. Sweet potato fries were pretty good. The Eggrolls that I got as an appetizer was good as well. No complaints about the food. I would definitely get the pulled pork if I went there again. Very flavorful and smoked on site.
(3)Sara S.
Awful. Not awesome. They are lucky they have their fried ricotta balls and x rated grilled cheese or it'd be two stars for sure. Sadly, food is inconsistent so I may have to downgrade later. The first time I had the grilled cheese it was as delicious as it looks in the pic I posted. Came here again during the week and one side of the sandwich was barely grilled, so the cheese was still pretty solid, unmelted, so it didn't hold the pickle slices. They even fell out of the sandwich b/c it wasn't melded with the cheese. Melted cheese is a must for grilled cheese. Lots of options for burgers, but nothing out of the ordinary awesome. After eating grass fed, organic beef all summer, it's hard to go back to regular meat. Mac and cheese is saucy but bland. Fries are pretty good. Broccoli is great if you like garlic. French onion soup is nice and peppery. Heard beer soup was good too. So, what made this place hard to come back to is the seating. It's so uncomfortable. First time they sat 3 of us at what's obviously a 2-person table. Putting a chair at the end does not do the trick, Square 1. The condiment caddy takes up most of table, how do we fit 3 people's plates and drinks on there? The second time we got seated at one of the booths with the awkward cow upholstery. Seriously painful! It was like little needles pricking your back. All the kids were complaining, my back was itchy and raw from scratching and being pricked. We had to ask for extra napkins to protect our backs ...not cool. At least the meal ended well with the fried ricotta balls and warm chocolate sauce. But if you are going to have your employees walk around with "Awesome." on their backs, you need to deliver at least "Average."

5 stars for the hands-down best veggie burger I've ever had!! Was extremely surprised that a chain restaurant has a "very vegan" burger, but even more surprising was the taste. The combination of avocado, hummus, and the burger itself was great! I was blown away! Fries were good as well.. Other than that, I would not recommend the "Square 1 Sangria" on the drink menu.. I ordered it and ended up with a weird, cherry like beer- yes, I said beer! Sangria beer? Very strange.
(5)Scott V.
If you're in to burgers and want a variety on menu you picked a good place. First page ever saw eggs on a burger and can't get enough now. Unfortunately last coupon times the burgers have been greasy enough to make the bottom bun soggy, but still delicious. But the icing on the cake is the deep fried jalapeños with ranch... OMG!!!! Could make a meal out of those! Good variety and service always good.
(4)Brian C.
Was for dinner here yesterday. Love their burger selections. I've a tried a few of them and they've been great.
(4)Frank R.
Great place good fresh burgers n double breaded onion rings. But great selection of sandwiches n salads
(3)Lady H.
THE GOOD - I always enjoy lunch here. My favorite is the grill cheese sandwich. YUMMY!!!! THE BAD- I made the mistake of sitting outside this time because it was such a pretty day. I won't do that again. I don't have anything against animals (cats, dogs, birds, fish, whatever) but I don't own animals by choice. Therefore, I don't want to eat at a table next to your extra fluffy gigantic dog that's shaking itself every few minutes with hair all over the place. Not cool. SUMMARY - The food is best served inside.
(4)Matthew C.
Square 1 has been solid every time I go in. Great burger selection, as one would assume. I haven't been let down once. Even when my whole party used a groupon deal, like a bunch of assholes, they took it in stride, no issues at all. And it's a Florida company? What else could I ask for.
(5)Allie M.
Their Burgers are good but exceptionally greasy. A very unique atmosphere is probably the best part about this place.
(3)Matthew S.
Wow, second day in a row, yet different location. We either love this place or we are secret shoppers.. Ha

I was on the fence deciding whether to go to Buffalo Wild Wings or to Square 1 next door. I am so SO glad I chose this restaurant. As one other reviewer stated, the stars are given because it is a burger joint. But dear Lord, can you say, "little slice of heaven"? Stopped in at about 130pm and the place was half empty. Of course, the first thing we see on the menu is the Nutella and Peanut Butter Milk Shake. Are you kidding me? We have just got to try this in spite of the 1.5 million calories that are associated with this drink. (just kidding) I drank a 1/4 of it and reluctantly let the rest go. I had the spicy egg rolls for an appetizer and the amount of flavors in this was simply outstanding along with the kick of spice. Lunch came and I had the Aloha style salmon sandwich with bacon. The Aloha part was the pineapple on top and it certainly did NOT disappoint in adding to the flavor of the salmon and bacon. (the only thing I wish I could have changed was to get the salmon grilled instead of breaded and fried-my own fault though and it still had a wonderful flavor.) Also had sweet potato fries that were simply to die for. The sweet and salty mix was absolutely perfect. I was so surprised this place was not jumping; the food here is among the best of fast foods I've eaten yet. Do NOT pass this place up.
(5)Erika H.
Ate here for the first time this weekend with a friend. We ordered the fried pickles, very greasy. She ordered a burger with a side of fried jalapenos which she said was ok. I ordered one of the specials Tsunami Salmon Burger with sweet potato fries. The bun was soggy and the fries were not at all crispy. I also expected a dipping sauce with the sweet potato fries. I probably wont be back.
(2)Jon B.
We've been here three times and found a good item on the menu - the buffalo burgers. Tasty, not fatty. Trick is to skip the cheese and the mayo so you can taste the burger. The fries, whether regular or sweet potato, are disappointing. Dried, overcooked, though the sweet potato were the better of the two. Decent choice of beers for a burger joint. Decor OK, though it is noisy at times -- too many hard surfaces. A little pricey, but considering the location it probably fits.
(4)Daniel G.
Happy hour was on point! 2 bucks for craft beers! Then I had a amazing burger! Wow! I can't believe I haven't been here before! The burgers bun, toasted to perfection! I order my burger Medium... It was PERFECT! ... Sweet potato fries... OMG! Blew my mind!
(5)conor b.
I've heard great things about this place so I really wanted to give it a shot. Though tasty, their vegetarian burger fell apart completely, out of the bun and onto the plate. Needed a better binder I guess. Granted most people don't go to a burger place and try the veggie one right off the bat, but I was in the mood for a lighter fare, it should still be good! Tried some of my wife's burger and found it to be unremarkable despite so many positive reviews. For lack of a better explanation, it just tasted like plain meat. Make sense? Will try again sometime and hope it's the burger joint I've been desperately searching for. I can see the potential, but didn't experience it fully.
(3)Mikee N.
We visited several times. Consistent, food quick, staff friendly and helpful. Burgers excellent. Always look forward to our next visit. Worth the trip you won't be disappointed. Adult daughter gets always orders the turkey burger; half dark meat and half white meat; it's her favorite. Very good sweet potato fries. Something for everyone.
(3)Nick C.
Great Bleu and Bacon Burger and the onion rings were awesome. Burger cooked perfectly. Maybe 3.5 star beer selection, if I am being picky. Service at the bar was super friendly. Couldn't ask for anything more from a burger joint.
(5)Stephen F.
Ended up here based on Yelp, with a little help from the hotel staff, which gave it a thumbs up. All 6 of us left full and happy. Wednesday is $2.00 Onion Rings, order several plates because onion rings rock. I ordered and then devoured the Drunken Pig and Bull, because what could be tastier than cow, pig and vegetables on a single bun? Seriously, there wasn't a single complaint from any of of us. They offer a very solid beer selection and had it not been a working night I would've run the menu.
(4)Jana F.
Square 1 is always pretty solid, and tonight it was better than usual. I had the So Sweet Strawberry Salad, which was very good. Along with it I had the Strawberry Daiquiri, off the Specials menu. The drink was out of this world. Not too sweet, with a nice, smooth kick. Hubby tried the Toga Party burger with feta, sun dried tomato mayo, and basil. He said it may be his new favorite. One word of caution, Square 1 does their burgers a little undercooked, so think about ordering it cooked a shade more than you normally order. Our server Tori was amazing as well, she took very good care of us. Checked on us often, even had the manager come by to make sure everything was just right and asked if she could do anything for us. Overall just a great place for a Friday night dinner.
(5)Richard C.
This place has a good atmosphere, good food, and a pleasant and happy staff. There are many burger places around this area so standing out can be difficult. While I am not a burger aficionado I would say that these burgers are really good, they are just big enough for my tastes. Since I have only been here once it is tough to give an overall impression of how this restaurant behaves over time. The only reason for the four stars instead of five was that menu didn't have anything that really stood out to me as being different.
(4)D J.
When we walked in we were welcomed with a warm, friendly greeting. She immediately explained the specials & took our drink order. I ordered the mushroom burger w/fries & my husband had the lamb burger w/onion rings & a chocolate shake. Everything was great! What made our visit even more pleasant was that the owner/manager personally came to our table to thank us for stopping in & invited us back. My husband enjoyed watching the car show on the big screen & I truly appreciated the cool decor & clean bathroom. I can't wait to go back to try other menu items.

I have been looking for a solid burger spot since I moved down to Bradenton a year ago. I finally got around to trying Square 1 Burgers & Bar with my friend this past weekend and it was an average experience. I had the 3 mushroom burger and my friend had the juicy lucy. First of all, I enjoyed having whole pieces of mushrooms on my burger and the patty was seasoned well. However, my burger was no longer medium but well done when it reached my plate. Furthermore, the wheat buns have become soggy and barely covered the patty. Usually, smaller buns are not something I'd complain about, but in this case, I was having trouble picking up the burger to eat it properly. The Juicy Lucy did not have any cheese inside the patty! It doesn't have its "juicy" factor so that was a bit disappointing. Also, if I'm going to pay $13 for a burger, I want it to be filling and look a certain way. The burgers we got looked about 1/2 the size of a burger I'd get in Jersey for LESS the price. So overall, if I'm craving a burger next time, I'll THINK about coming back to Square 1...but actually coming back...I'm not sure. TIP: get the onion rings - they are delicious! Square 1 also have happy hour from 3-5pm daily! lots of drafts/cocktails for $3-$5 with reasonably priced appetizers.
(3)Peter P.
The staff here is amazing. Stephanie the night manager is a wonderful human being and has a great staff who are attentive, radiating positivity and truly deliver when it comes to service. The food is fun and delicious. Would recommend!
(5)Elizabeth D.
My mom and I usually go to dinner here about once a week. She will get a burger of some sort with a Stella and fried jalapeños on the side. I will get a vanilla milkshake, which is to die for, and fried mac n cheese bites. I come here so often I can just say "the usual" and the staff knows what I want. Also, the bartender/waiter Dan is so nice! Love this place!!
(5)Michelle M.
Worst service ever. Too bad because the food is awesome. Whomever is in charge of the waiting staff should be fired. Girls are nice but they have no direction, never acknowledge you and are super slow and forgetful. Place was not packed at all and they still could not figure it out.
(1)Coty S.
If you are a burger enthusiast, Square 1is the place for you. There is nothing that they cannot do to a burger, and if you are vegetarian they can come up with a concoction that even resembles a burger. The atmosphere is much needed for the Bradenton and Sarasota area; trendy and inviting. The kind of place where you can daintily hold a martini in one hand and clench a drippy burger in the other. Mac and Cheese is always an option for a side dish or main meal. There are also various forms of French fries to choose from. I'm also partial to sippin' on one of the delicious milkshakes. The daily specials here are no joke! The last time we ate at Burger 21, a massive tower of onion rings was only three dollars.
(3)Jamison E.
Enjoyed a great lunch at Square 1 Burgers. I had a new server (2nd day) who was attentive and interested. This was my second trip to Square 1 burgers. I will be back again soon. Great burgers and cold beer!
(4)Mark E.
Great Chopped Salad! The hamburger and onion rings were excellent. They have a large selection of beer and wine. The waitress was very attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable. I give this place a high rating because they have the magic formula: good food; clean restaurant; great staff equals a good value!
(5)Vic O.
Here's why I am scoring this place so low: It is SO LOUD in there, it's awful. Hamburgers were not cooked to order. Both of us ordered Medium. I got very rare, raw red in the center hamburger, husband got a well done Kobe burger. At least they're consistent, consistently not cooking to order. Why did they ask if there was no 'doneness' option? If this place isn't good for burgers, what good is it? Bread substitution. my DH ordered his burger with sourdough bread for its lower Glycemic Index. What he got was white Texas Toast. It's NOT the same, it doesn't taste the same, and your customers are not idiots, we know the difference, and know Texas Toast when we see it. That's inconsiderate of your clientele. Please let us know before substituting ingredients that we've asked for. My side was broccoli and that's all I got. No butter, no sauce, no seasoning, just plain old broccoli. Granted, it was fresh broccoli, and not over cooked. But it was so blah. Do they eat that way at home? No butter for the veggies? Boring and inconsiderate. It really seems the kitchen isn't thinking about the customer, just pumping out food mechanically. The service was great, tho. Lots of nice people serving. The food is just sub par.
(2)Jyoti K.
Food was okay, however, there was alive roach on our table..this was few months ago, haven't been back since then.
(2)Mick F.
Stopped in the Square One on University and tried the Blue Cheese burger. Noticed everything was a little on the pricey side, but it was a nice place. Burger showed up and was the juiciest tastiest burger I've ever had. I am willing to pay extra when the food and service is this good. Just tried the one in Brandon and if anything it was better. Great place.
(5)Lisa S.
Adorable decor- cows and such. The malt shake was AMAZING! Don't forget to get one! I had the sunrise burger with an egg on top and I would have eaten it twice even though I was full to maximum capacity. The bun was high quality.
(4)Tiffany S.
As out of town visitors, we were excited to try a local place. Unfortunately, service was less than adequate. Adding to slow service was our special needs as a food-allergic family. We figured our need to find out about ingredients would slow us down, but we didn't expect to have to wait for 30 minutes just to order. In addition, we were very clear that the one thing our son could eat safely at this establishment should not be grilled on the same side of the grill that touches eggs (one of his most severe allergies)...and yet, the server did not relay this to the kitchen and our son suffered an allergic reaction by the time he was one third of the way through his hot dog. When discussing food options with both the server and the manager, the manager ended up speaking fairly rudely to my husband who asked for clarification on a particular food. Over all, the food was good, so if you don't have to worry about food allergies (and you don't mind inadequate service and have time for a long meal), it would be an ok place to eat. If you DO have food allergies, please spare yourself the stress and eat elsewhere.

It's simple: Don't go here. I read the so-so reviews, but understand that dining out, a burger will be expensive. My friends wanted to meet here, and I was game. However, I'm not going to review the food. I'm questioning the business itself, and certainly the ethics. I ordered a Scotch, my usual brand. It was clear from the second it arrived it was wrong (based on the weak color), and it was not Scotch at all but a watered-down bourbon. I complained, and the bartender poured another sample from the bottle (same thing), and the Manager rushed over and thought it was off too. They offered me another type of Scotch, and this was also off, and I let it ride. This is the second restaurant that has pulled this in Sarasota. To me, it's a sign of a failing business. But what also troubles me is that if substituting cheap and watered-down liquor is actively condoned by management, or they do not have the necessary controls in place in this highly-regulated and pre-packaged area. in what other areas are they also taking shortcuts? Folks, let this business fail, and let's hope its successor has some better ethics. I will contact the State, but did that last year and no sanctions were placed on that other restaurant either. The people need to vote with their wallets. I am disappointed, and feel abused.
(1)Denise E.
The Very Vegan Veggie burger is the best veg burgers I've ever eaten, made with black beans, TVP, corn, and the artichoke hummus is outstanding, nice touch of creaminess from the avocado. It'll be dinner this coming Friday night. Can't wait!
(5)Tom Z.
Got to say I have been there several times and enjoyed it, but most recently, the plates were dirty, the burger wasn't cooked, and the staff seemed scattered. The manager did comp us on the meal, but I got to say that the service has gone downhill since I started going there theist couple of months.
(1)Kristi P.
The style in this place was fantastic. It sort of reminded me of the Beverly Hillbillies as they had cow hides and chandeliers galore. What struck me funny is that they still artfully pulled off modern. I had to laugh after some research I found out they called the look "cowboy chic". Excellent. Other than that I don't have a whole lot great to say here. Food was just ok. The burger was cooked to my liking, rare, however the outside tasted chary (is that even a word?). I hate that. Cook your burger on low temp and slowly people!! The service was terrible. I despise sitting at a table with empty cocktails. Since they were pricey you would think the server would keep it topped off so he could get a better tip on the bill. Furthermore, if I get a cocktail, just bring me a water I will always drink it. My final thought about the service was when the water took our checks and brought out the bill then briskly walked away. Yes it was a Saturday night, but it was not packed in there, please don't rush me. It took five minutes to flag him back down to take our desert order. The best part about the food experience was the desert. Ricotta filled fried dough balls with chocolate dipping sauce, sundaes with cupcakes built in and a few other delights. Since I have a sweet tooth I may be back, but only for the dessert!
(2)Eva O.
Probably not your neighborhood warm and fuzzy burger joint, but this place is solid. Kind of resembles a standard hotel bar with the dark interior and red trim decor, buuut then there are cow hide covered seats and colorful chandeliers...classy farmer style? The lasting impression is that the burgers don't leave you with "ehh, I could have gotten that at Five Guys..." The burgers are fresh, meaty, and totally grin-worthy when you're done! I'm (extremely) partial to mushrooms and the 3-mushroom cheeseburger...::heart flutter::...is heaven. Porticini, portabello, and garden mushrooms, with melted gruyere. How can a girl argue? My friend got the Drunken Pig and Bull, which she promptly fell in love with as well. It's a pretty popular choice apparently. My only real complaint...sweet potato fries should be a regular side item. Check their beer selection too. I think you'll be impressed with the options. I know I was, seeing Woodchuck Amber.
(4)Thomas R.
After waiting 20 minutes my burger was served rare (ordered medium) with a stale bun and reheated french fries. Hard to believe this is a restaurant that specializes in hamburgers. This restaurant will be gone in another six months.
(1)Carey Y.
Gabriel and I had a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of 2 burgers so we decided to go to Square One for dinner a few nights ago. We arrived to find adorable cow/western-themed decor inside, but the a/c was blasting so high that we decided to sit outside instead. A friendly waitress came over right away with menus, water and suggestions for us and we took a few minutes to look over the menu. We chose the bbq chicken wings for our free app- something I'd never order, but Gabriel loves them. To me they were so-so, but he raved about them. They were meatier than average wings, but I thought they were way too unhealthy to be worth the indulgence, especially since I had a giant burger in my immediate future. I did enjoy the celery that came alongside of them with a decent blue cheese dressing. For my burger, I decided on the Buffalo Bob: Ground buffalo topped with applewood-smoked bacon, onion rings and spicy beer cheese sauce on a sesame seed bun. I actually opted to switch out the beer cheese (which sounded pretty vile to me) for cheddar. It came with a side, so I chose the fried jalapenos, and as it turned out, I was very glad that Gabriel chose sweet potato fries for his because they were fantastic. My peppers were eh. Kind of boring, not that spicy, and overly breaded. My burger was quite good. The buffalo meat was indeed lean- but not all that juicy and a little greasier than I expected. I thought the bacon, onion rings and cheese on top were all just glorious though. Overall, this meal was pretty good- but not amazing, and for the price, even WITH the free appetizer, it was a bit too much for what we got. I think our bill totaled around $40. Huh? That's just crazy.
(3)Tanya S.
Let's start with the positive. The design and feel of the restaurant was wonderful, felt like I should be getting a great burger and good beer, exactly what we were looking for when we decided to give S1 a try. Unfortunately it's not what we got. Though there is an extensive burger menu, there is a pretty good beer selection, not out of this world, but good, the burgers were not very tasty. There was no flavor in the meat at all, not what I expected from a place called S1 BURGERS, specializing in BURGERS. The service was just OK. I won't go back for a burger for sure. The pickle chips maybe, they were GREAT!
(3)Stacy K.
S1 is the pits! The cow decor everyone seems to love wigs me out - too industrial at both SRQ locations. The food isn't good...burgers are bland and tasteless, and my husband got the Cheese Soup here once, it was broken (not smooth - and the flour was separated from the cheese) and another soup which was spoiled and tasted that way. Too much okie sauce and bbq on everything, and no good way to get something to order. Those Brioche buns are dry, too! Ick...do not like!
(1)Cathy M.
I liked this place. We expected big, flavor-able burgers and that's what we got. We like anything with a sauce (we're simple folk :) and we got it. My husband and I split an order of fried pickle chips that came with a peppered ranch dipping sauce. There were plenty of them and they were coated well with a nice batter. I ordered the Buffalo Bob burger (medium) only with Angus instead of Buffalo. It came with onion rings, bacon and some beer cheese sauce (soup?). I opted for the onion rings for two dollars more. My husband ordered the bacon cheese burger with onion rings as well. Both burgers came out medium rare but that was ok. They were big and tasty (I had to cut in half to eat it). The onion rings were double dipped and a nice size. I normally only like breaded onion rings.... although these look like they've been battered and then breaded. The sauce was a spicy sauce that was delish. Probably my second favorite burger place in the area right behind Patricks on Main Street Sarasota.
(4)Deborah C.
This is my go to place for a burger. The special on the board was smoked buffalo mozzarella and bruschetta burger. Good quality beef with fresh toppings, the toppings had a light flaver which was nice on a more robust burger, no ketchup and mustard.
(4)PJ J.
Great Food and Excellent Service Trying to make arrangements from out of town for our daughter's wedding was difficult but I found that the services provided by Mike Whalen at Square One Burger priceless! The managers were professional, and regularly available by email or phone to assist our vision for a special rehearsal dinner party. They really did all the work, from creating a custom menu, to working out of all the special details that made our service, and experience memorable. The food was so wonderful; everyone really enjoyed every morsel. They, (Mike and Ken) really accommodated all of our decorations, and budget needs. We cannot recommend the managerial staff, wait staff, highly enough! From the moment you enter the door, til the end of your meal you'll be blessed! PJ Charlotte, NC
(5)Bill H.
Not sure why all the negativity! I had a great experience and the food was very good.....the asian chicken sandwich. I was in town on business and happened upon it while attempting to go to BWW next door. Sat at the bar and watched baseball. Service was good, food was good. It was onion ring night and another bar-sitter shared his massive quantity of rings with the others. Nice atmosphere. Good stuff.
(4)David M.
We went on a Sunday night and it was not very busy. It took a little long for someone to come and take our drink order. We got an appetizer which came out in good time. It was good and the sauce a nice added feature. We both got burgers (turkey & beef) and fries. They were both OK and done the way we ask. I don't want to sound like anything was wrong with or meal, it's just that when you pay $30, no drinks(alcohol)and with tax & tip and you have a $5 coupon it should be better than OK. Maybe our expectations were to high. We liked it, but will not be hurrying back.

Welp... I liked this place on my first TWO times but! Then I decided to take my husband here with me for HIS 1st time today, my THIRD time. He was skeptical but i raved about it so he decided to come. we both enjoyed out lamb-burgers. we thought that the fried mac-n-cheese was interesting, in a good way. All-in-all, the food is pretty good and they make the drinks good too. On my first visit here I was given a $20 off coupon, that the manager himself gave me. When he tried to give it to me, i actually refused it TWICE because I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and saw no need for a coupon. But he insisted so I took it. So!, on this visit with my husband, I chose to use the coupon. The tender Cheryln (who is fantastic by the way) gave the coupon to the manager to redeem in the computer. We overheard him say " typical... I knew they were going to use it". Then he walked over to me, smiled and said sarcastically "I'm so glad you used that coupon today". A stark difference from his "welcome back, good to see you!" earlier that day. I was so taken aback! I never asked for it, HE GAVE it to me, but was so rude when I used it! I smiled and gave Cheryln $18 tip on a $26 tab, it was $46 originally. The sad part is, this place had just officially been added to our list of go-to places, especially since my husband enjoyed his experience! But I don't deserve to be treated that way or to feel as sad and judged as I felt when I left. I will take my money elsewhere and proceed to market another venue. Sigh.....

prefer the other location - this one still has the good food, but is too small for the crowd and the table we were given did not have a single comfortable chair - they were all "funky" instead of "usuable"

Went there on a Sunday night and the burgers were terrible. They were so dripping wet the buns became to soggy to lift and they tore apart. There were 8 of us and no one could rave over the food. Even the salad with chicken was only fair. The decor is great, service is "ok", but there are better places to get burgers, even at traditional chain restaurants. If I had a coupon, I still would not go back.

Great Burgers, fun atmosphere, hip decor and bar. Wish There was a location closer to my house! It's nice to see a unique concept.
