Hear from our valued guests
The service was great. Had lunch at the bar, and my bartender was friendly and attentive. The food was great. The cocktail I had was appropriate for the time of day.
Taco Tuesdays! We got two burgers, the Farmhouse and On The Boarder with fries and onion rings, a salmon taco to try, and a kids meal. Quality, portion size, prices, and service was great! We were especially impressed with the kids meal. Decent beer selection too. If I had one complaint, it's that every thing was a bit too saucy. Look forward to going back!
I try not to eat bread too often and had been craving a burger for about 2 weeks. I am so glad I saved that craving for this place. The burger I had was SO good and the meal my husband got was so much he couldn't finish it. We will definitely be back.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience and food belly afterwards. We arrived a bit earlier for dinner so it was practically no one else in there. The friesnwe ordered had a cajun seasoning which remined of me of 5 Guys but a lighter version. Burgers are good prices as well.
Amazing attentive, cheerful, staff. The food that came out before ours looked awesome. The onion rings are a must have. My Burger exceeded my expectations it was cooked medium and the toppings were overflowing. My Fries with my meal were delicious and hot. My wife and son loved there meal. Kids eat free and includes a drink & icecream if you're a hotel guest if not it's inexpensive! Well worth the money! The live entertainment was excellent as well! The Chef checked personally with each table to see how your meal was. We will be coming back again.
Customer service was Excellent! Lauren was our waitress she addressed all of our concerns. Even though my burger was incomplete she offered concern and tried to make it right but I told her it was Okay! And the drinks she made were done just right!! If you want good burgers, burger theory is where you need to go for a top flavor burger! And may I add they are big burgers you do get your money worth!
Chill and relaxing atmosphere with great food, especially the breakfast buffet. Definitely a spot to hit if your staying at the hotel and wanna just walk over. Very convenient and you won't be disappointed.
Great food, burgers cooked just as requested. The waitress was quick with refilling drinks so that was awesome. Great atmosphere, good prices well worth it, and overall great experience.
I’ve been to this location several times. The cook ALWAYS gets the burger right. Never fails. I like my burger medium rare and it’s right all the time. My boyfriend adds Borsin and onion rings. Always fresh, never miss. Their fries are also top notch.
As the name of the place says, "Its all about the burgers!" I tried a traditional burger here and they make it very good. Lots of meat cooked just right, the meat juices were perfect. The toppings were fresh and my side salad was on the spot. The fries were crispy and all. Its a great burger joint with amazing quality. If you want a nice hamburger in the area, I can recommend this place. Good service as well with quick response. I liked this place and will definitely come back sometime.
