Sat at the bar, everything about this place is great. Burger was solid with a stupid serving size of sweet potato fries. Plus I love the nostalgic house made sodas and the vanilla malt hit the spot. The beer selection is nice with mostly Belgian and a Japanese one. Also the service from Joe, the bartender was phenomenal, very kind and informative.

It was a pretty good burger. I've heard many people say this is the best burger place in the area, so I had to check it out when I was in the area. Overall, it was a pretty good burger, but it was not THE best burger I've had in the area. Nothing bad, just not slap you in the face amazing, as I had been lead to believe. The service was good, and the servers were friendly. Thankfully when I went, it wasn't too busy, so there wasn't a long wait for the food. Would definitely recommend going here over fast food, but I can't say I'll be going out of my way to come back.

We went here for a work event happy hour and dinner. The drink menu was impressive as well as the outdoor seating area. Maybe it was the size of our group that threw off the staff, but I was less impressed. They were snippy and kinda mean to our table.. thinking it might’ve been overwhelming to them? But this place was so hyped up that I had high expectations. Unfortunately I felt let down with a build your own burger bar that was hardly stocked. Maybe it’d be different if you came here for a full meal on your own dime ordering directly from the menu.

A hidden gem of restaurant reminiscent of the nostalgic soda fountain diners of the past where I had one of the best burgers ever! Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The mushroom Swiss burger with caramelized onions was amazing! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Nashville.

Heads up, if you have a party less than 4 people they can get you in super quick without a reservation. Sadly the porch was closed due to weather but the vibes were still great. We got sat in 15 mins at peak time on a Friday with a party of 3. The burgers were super good and the fries were for sure a highlight. We also tried the malt which we highly recommend. We even grabbed some to go.

This burger spot is amazing! We had a double hamburger and a single cheeseburger with vegan cheese. We also ordered fries and tots. The sweet tea was great. We tried the strawberry and ginger home made soda. It was delicious. The burgers were juicy and cooked just right. Our server was really nice and made great recommendations. This place is a must try.

Really tasty burgers, but also an extensive soda fountain and ice cream drinks bar. I got the White Oak with great sweet potato fries that still had the skins on. My family got the Chipotle Slap burgers with jalapenos with regular fries and tater tots. The portions were super generous. The Orange Creamscicle soda was delicious.

Great food and love that they have vegetarian options! Dined here once about 3 years ago and couldn’t wait to get back. The food and service are still wonderful! It was pouring rain so we couldn’t enjoy the garden seating but inside was comfortable. Highly recommended the pretzel with beer cheese. And all the reviews on the tots being the best, well they are okay. It’s the hand cut fries that is where it’s at. Get a side of the Coke barbecue sauce and sour cream for them. So good!
