    The burgers are great, the fries are fantastic (zucchini!) and the aesthetics of the joint itself looks like you're taking a step back in time.

    Burger was solid, and the sauces were a good touch. Fried pickles were a good side too!

    This D.I.Y. joint prides itself on customized options, from slider-sized patties and buns to oversize and veggie burgers topped with housemade sweet chili sauce.

    An Israeli joint that'll make anyone (yes, even you, vegan lady!) a believer in burgers. Great prices, too!

    The burger itself is delicious, but the sandwich falls apart. The bun can't stand up to its pile of toppings.

    Multiple combinations at an excellent price are a plus. Be wary with how much you add; you run the risk of your add-ons masking the burger itself.

    Get the garlic mayo with chimichuri sauce on your burger. Recommendation from one of the cooks, and it was a good one.

    No table service. Place your order at the counter and they'll give you a playing card to redeem your food when it's ready.

    The burgers are amazing! They have a ghost pepper cheese that gives any burger or sandwich a kick! Also they make their French fries fresh everyday and they are amazing!!!

    The veggie burger was good. The french fries were delicious with the garlic mayo - the only thing they needed was some malt vinegar.

    As much as I love this place, the milkshake is very average. Ice milk, not ice cream, and pre-made, left in freezer. Place would benefit from a better beverage selection in general.

    The deliciously seasoned burgers come in three sizes. Get a Maxi with Spicy May, Giant Onion Rings or Homemade Fries. Finish it off with a chocolate milk shake.
