This is tough, I loved this spot. The service was great, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but the burger was... interesting. I went for the Lone Star, and if you've never had a non-mayo based BBQ sauce, I'm sure their BBQ marinade would have been fine. But I'm from the states, I travel a lot, and BBQ sauce from around the world is one of my favorite parts of trying new places whenever I'm abroad, but their BBQ marinade/sauce tasted like marinara sauce, which kind of ruined the burger. Unless you think a pizza flavored bacon cheeseburger is a great idea, I'd steer clear of the Lone Star burger. The burger was also wayyyyy too big, you can ask them for a smaller, or different patty, and I wish I did, but the standard size for the Lone Star was just too much.

I feel like at the very least this place heavily discriminates against people who are dining alone. Maybe you should add a bar or something if you don't like serving people dining...
Read moreContext: we came on a Monday evening with a party of 6. Overall, everything was delightful, but they missed on the most integral part: the food, and therefore I cannot recommend this place. Take this with a grain of salt, maybe we just got unlucky.
3 of the orders were wrong the ground beef patty was well over "medium", it was dry and rough the food was served cold, it is apparent that the cooks were not able to synchronize our orders and left some dishes rest for way too long, thus resulting in the over-done and dry beef patty
Due to the chefs inability to produce great dishes consistently, and for this personal experience, I won't recommend this place.
There are juicier...
