    - If you’re going for something special or expecting exceptional cuisine, this isn’t fine dining—it’s casual and friendly rather than upscale. Recommendation: Go ahead and give it a try—especially if you’re in the mood for a casual hang‑out with friends or a laid‑back evening. Just manage expectations: good food, good drinks, relaxed vibe—but not perfection in every menu item.

    One of the few restaurants to be open until 11pm around Lake Tapps Pkwy. In addition they have happy hour from 9-11pm. The jalapeno cheese burger was fresh and juicy. I wonder why they do not serve it in a bun. Service was great, they really care. Worth the visit every once in a while to try new burgers :P

    Overall an awesome experience! We had Diego as our server. He was phenomenal throughout the entire visit! Definitely Drink selection is great and love that they had a happy hour. Prices are not the cheapest but we'll worth it. We got the garlic fries, A MUST, wings, street tacos great side! Got bbq ribs and Tony's Mac and cheese, filling and good!. Then some long island iced teas. There's something for everyone, kid friendly. Out door seating is nice too. Food came out at a good pace. Drinks kept getting topped off frequently and was asked if we wanted more long iced teas. Definitely a new favorite!

    Pretty great burgers, though there’s usually a bit too much cream cheese on the jalapeño popper burger. The triple threat chicken sandwich is totally delicious, as are the chicken tenders- though all the chicken could do with being double fried to preserve medicinal Crispiness! Definitely order the potato chips, they are delicious!

    We haven't been here for a little while but it was nice to know the food was just as good, though the portions seemed a little smaller (with a higher price like most places). Littlest with us really enjoyed his grilled cheese sandwich, and my husband devoured his burger! He was disappointed to have only a few tater tots. I had a raspberry lemonade then a huckleberry one. Raspberry was good, but the huckleberry was super sweet. I barely finished my drink before the staff brought me a refill. They were attentive and very nice. I thought they used to have hanging plants off their entryway? This location is one of our favorites because it is walking distance to other dessert places or donuts to have in the morning.
