From the customer service (over the phone and in person on) Ms Piffany was AMAZING, to the Turkey burger with cheese and fries super delicious. It was my first time coming here and definitely won't be my last. I also got a sample of their Turkey chilli and that too was on point with quality napkins. Thank you for the wonderful service and experience... see ya soon! Well I went back Thursday, ordered another Turkey burger with cheese, egg and bacon. This place is my new burger spot! The service and food is awesome. Thank you to all the staff members for providing quality food and superb service.

Call in your order it's a lot of traffic because the burgers are fire and order the fries they are always fresh, and the right salt pepper and a hint of sugar. Yes, it's so good
