We’ve visited the Burger Joint several times under the previous owners and always had great meals, so we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. I will start by saying the staff member on shift was friendly and gave good service. This is solely about the food. Sadly, the food wasn’t what it used to be.

They accommodated our weird requests (fried egg on a plate) without even a sideways glance. The Burgers were heavenly.

Brie Liberty, 4 years agoWe have ordered 2 kids burgers, 1 kimi cheese, 1 bomb and fries. The fries seems to be made in the old oil. The kids burgers were OK, but ours had too many souce and very little beef. I would expect bigger burgers for that price tag. Can't recommend this place.
