Just go. I had the 1/3 pound (after cooking) beef burger, cooked medium with grilled onions (nice & sweet), mixed greens, tomato, feta cheese & sundried tomato vinegrette on a wheat bun. Went with the 50/50, fries/onion ring combo. One order is big enough for two people. They give you ranch and bbq sauce for dipping. Washed it all down with some iced tea. Everything was excellent. If I had been eating for two I would have tried the sweet potato fries and a shake.

Good value, the whole meal was around ten dollars.

Very busy for 2:30 in the afternoon. Draft beer was $4 a pint. They have fat tire by the deuce deuce and plenty of wine to choose from. Though wine with your burger may be taking the gourmet burger just a bit to far.

The front windows are garage doors. I'll have to go back when it's cooler & the doors are rolled up.
