Gil Shepherd: My first time here, with my Burger Club. The burger was good, didn’t care for the caramelized onions. But I will come back again.
Pedro T: Loved their “The Loyalist Burger (onions 3 ways)”! Great balance of cheesy & meaty goodness against a little acid bite of the onions. Can’t wait to have another!
