Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseAugust 29, 2011A bi-partite restaurant with excellent craft beer selections, and below-average pricing.
The burgers here are amazing, especially fries with the truffle oil option. Don't dare come in ANC not eat.
Katie FarisJuly 15, 2011Try elvis's last supper. Seriously amazing!'The veggie burger was also fantastic
Every time I try a supposedly great burger place, I end up thinking "it's not as good as Bad Apple."
Not what it once was. Since the previous owners sold, the burgers are only so-so, the magic this place had is gone. Still worth a trip but not a wait.
Kimberly ChappellJuly 17, 2012Food was decent but with 200 different types of beer, you cant go wrong!
Blunt RobbinsNovember 2, 2013When you got everything you take that someone here that's what I do when my time came.
Get garlic on your fries and upgrade to the pretzel bun. Worth it.
Richard BJanuary 12, 2011This place does fried cheese curds about ten times better than Wisconsin does. It's voodoo!
I had a fktatsic burger. Beer selection convinces me, I'm an alcoholic.

"It may sound odd, but the #14 salmon burger with ginger and sriracha Asian slaw is the best. We had the #5 bison burger and #4 pepper /egg / bacon burger and both were far from the salmon."

"Best burgers in the city served with metal music, excellent beer and no remorse. Band-themed burgers are monstrous and dripping with toppings. If you're really hungry, get some Mac & cheese to share."
