Customer Reviews

"Great local place. Good service and very solid burger & fries."

- kristina c.

"Awesome Burger joint. I will be back and soon! Top of the best burger in Richmond list."

- Roderick S.

"Friendly staff and spectacular food! Located in an older building and it reminded me of my childhood getting food at a local place tucked back in the corder of a convenience store. Don't let the looks of the place fool you it is SUPER clean and cozy. Got the 1/3lb bacon cheeseburger with mayo, mustard, onions, pickles and one of the most well cooked over easy eggs I've ever had in my life. Fries are perfection! It was so good I ate EVERYTHING! Most definitely will be making this a more frequent location for me and my family. I did look at one star reviews and I'm sorry people didn't feel welcomed here but when we were there today around Noon, about half the patrons were AA and we're greeted and treated just the same and I was."

"I got a single burger with American cheese and onion rings. The burger was delicious. I wish I had got a double to have a better bun/meat ratio. The onion rings were the best I've had in years! Cooked to perfection!"

- Maylin V.

"We had a double and a triple and they were AWESOME. Fresh toppings and great service. The place was packed! Do yourself a favor and hit this place up for the best burgers and fries around!!!!!"

- Royal C.

"The portions were huge and very flavorful. I got the burger. My husband got the patty melt. He said it was the best he's ever had! The fries are made fresh from actual potatoes. My son ate his fries before we could snap a pic. My daughter had the grilled cheese. I would highly recommend this place!"

- Beth O.

"Outstanding food from an otherwise simple roadside diner. Good grease and melty cheese dripped from my burger onto my crisp, salty fries. The ketchup bottles were clean. I was offered a tea for the road. I almost hate to tell people how much I enjoyed it, for fear of it getting overrun."
