Wife and I decided to go out Friday night to this place. I used the open table site to reserve us a table and the website was showing only 7:45pm or later (this was looking at it at 5:30-ish pm) We decided to reserve a table for that time and figured it wouldn’t hurt to show up early in case they had open seating. Upon our arrival(6:00-ish pm) we noticed a decent size crowd outside the front near the host which made me think that wow I’m glad we made a reservation. Well we approached the host and explained we had reservations and wanted to know if we could get seated early. The place didn’t look more than 1/3 full on the inside. Sure enough we were getting our ID’s checked and proceeded to get seated.

Our waitress I think was Mel. She seemed to be in charge of both the outside patio and the indoor area section. She did a fantastic job managing what she had to. We were seated inside (my preference because a lot of sports were playing and I noticed a couple tv’s). Only one game was being played though (Padres) and another tv had TikTok type content for animals (wife didn’t mind, I thought it was lame as I like sports more). The inside decor was a total bar feeling with classic neon signs and posters. I thought it was fitting for the name of the restaurant.

Food menu was simple and to the point. I think the drink menu could be updated. I asked if they served any type of draft sour beer which they did. I had a pineapple mango brew (can’t remember the brewing company name) quite yummy though. My wife got a cocktail which didn’t seem strong at all.

Appetizers we went with the chips and homemade salsa. I thought it looked liked Doritos when it was presented but it was just a lot of seasoning in them. The salsa wasn’t as flavorful as I was hoping for. Also tried their basket of onion rings and I thought it was tasty. The sauce with them was a house sauce that had a fry sauce vibe with additional flavor to it. It paired well and the onions were fried to be crispy which I like. I notice it was super greasy though but I wasn’t holding back on this adventure. I ordered in the picture their double cheese burger and asked to add bacon to it (worth it). I hadn’t tried their food as a dine-in experience and I thought the chuck meat was seasoned with a lot of salt and pepper. It was really good because it isn’t the normal plain Jane seasoning you get at other burger joints. The seasoning was almost too much though on a double cheese burger. Towards the end of the burger I was basically over the seasoning side of the chuck and didn’t have much other ingredients to make it enjoyable. Unfortunately I left a couple bites and wasn’t able to finish it because I wasn’t feeling the taste to keep going while full. When I get in the zone on something super delicious I’m the type to finish the plate even if I’m like over the top full. This burger was a lot of meat and hit all my spots for a burger however it was too much in the end.

By the time we were finishing our meal it was around 8pm and it still didn’t look as packed as the website led me to believe.

Next time I’m gonna just go with the classic bacon cheese burger :D
