Decided to start trying new places around town. This was our first stop. First the staff, amazing. They were interactive, positive demeanor, like they enjoyed their job. Which let’s be honest you see less of daily. Nice people who got our food out quickly. We tried a little of everything. Food was delicious! Real made from scratch vibes. My picky two year old loved the chicken. I wish it was slightly cheaper because at that price point it’s a treat to us that can’t be done often lol. But that’s not up to the staff. And honestly you can spend just as much at a Wendy’s easy. 10/10 staff and food. We will be back.

One of the best burger joints in town! In fact, everything is amazing here from the fries to shakes to burgers to chicken strips. Everything is well seasoned and lots of great sauces. Took my dad here again in 2024 and he also loves it. Still I think the best smash burger in town with amazing fries/shakes. The special 'Raspberry Tart's shake was insane!

I had been traveling long and far all day and stumbled across the gem being the only place open on a Sunday holiday (thank you) but tremendous burger and shake. Spot on everything was delicious.

Wow! First off our order had a mishap and they were more than willing to fix it and even made it more gracious and set us up for our next visit, which was not even necessary as accidents happen! Then we could t even finish our burgers as the portions are insanely huge. The burgers are amazingly delicious. I don't normally warm up a burger and enjoy it the next day. However, I always give it a try. This burger omg is the first burger I warmed up and actually enjoyed two TWO days later. I am super impressed with this establishment. I am disappointed it's downtown. I hate being downtown and hope they open a second establishment somewhere on DuPont soon. Super impressed. Thanks so much for an amazing burger. I haven't had something so amazingly fresh in fort Wayne in years. I am dying to come in for another very soon!

This is a no frills, straight forward burger joint. The staff is friendly, the food comes out fast and is delicious. I had their special, the chili cheeseburger. At first I was kinda is skeptical about the little bit of chili, but that didn't last long. It was just enough, the taste was really good and because of the perfect amount of chili the bun didn't get all mushy. The fires were good as well.

(Not a fan of the cheese sauce though) 10/10 highly highly highly recommend!! Also, EXCELLENT service!! Super friendly and helpful staff!!

I go to this restaurant pretty frequently because it's a very convenient stop during bike rides. There's a bike rack very close to the restaurant and you can order and eat outside if you want. The burgers are always hot and full of flavor, and they tend to be gooey and messy in a great way, without being hard to eat. The burger bar sauce especially has a nice flavor and adds some great gooeyness to the burger. The staff are always very friendly and positive, especially Juliette, and I always get what I ordered. There's special monthly burgers and shakes which can be a good way to mix it up a bit and I enjoyed the chili burger when it was available. There's also a punchcard system where you get a free burger after you buy just five of them, which feels very generous compared to other restaurants' rewards programs.

Great place to swing by and grab a bite to eat! The burger was delicious. I got a double and it was more than plenty! The fresh cut fries were perfect. The atmosphere is fun and modern! There is nice amount of seating. There are two entries, one from the street or from the inside of the hotel. Looking forward to returning!
