Flint Finlinson: Amazing burgers!! Be sure to try all the flavored mayos. I ordered the Blazin Barn burger. Make sure you like mint otherwise try another burger.
Daniela K: The veggie burger is amazing, oozing with warm cheese wrapped in portobello mushroom; deep fried delis. End it all with a Toasted marshmallow milkshake. It will change your life.
Katherine Fortner: Vegetarians can eat a great meal here! Shroom burger is an amazing veggie burger. Fries with rosemary and thyme are to die for! Skip the drink and go for a milkshake, you won't be disappointed
