We'd been trying to find the time to wait in line for these burgs and finally put in the time. I can safely say that everytime it will be well worth the wait. They have a great selection of locally raised meats from bison to mutton to the standards. -even a few vegetarian options but please - don't waste a seat in there by not having the real thing (Bring on the rage, haters...you will not win). They have an amazing selection of condiments and sauces and - this is the kicker - they are pretty relaxed when it comes to swapping out one cheese (move over cheddar I got a goat to please) for another or removing the blasphemous bbq sauce from some of their staple classics for a less overbearing flavored mayo.
The fries are deepdeepdeep fried and for a buck extra are sprinkled with truffle oil. The onion rings are beefcut and dense. Do yourself a favor - get in on that deep fried mac n cheese...add a spicy ketchup and you've got a childhood classic reborn.
Overall one of the best burger joints I've visited in a long time. It got the makings of a long-time local gem one that locals will return to to 'climb the menu' (I'm coining that right now...it means to go back till you've tried everything on the menu). Great atmosphere and decent service despite the kitchen being up a set of stairs near the front of the crowded entrance.
So, get in there - roll up your sleeves and don't wear a white shirt.
