If you are looking for a big, thick, juicy cheeseburger, there isn’t another spot on the globe you would want to be. Everything from the sides to the service is perfect. I can’t speak on anything besides the burgers because every time I go, I can help myself from ordering one. My go to is the barbecue burger, and I always get extra onion rings on the side.

“ Visiting from Florida and recommended to come here. The restaurant atmosphere is inviting and cozy while the high ceilings really open up the space. It was really hard to choose what to order because it all looked delicious. I went with the chipotle chicken sandwich and fries. The pretzel bun was a great touch. While the sandwich was a bit tall to get everything in one bite, the flavors were complimentary of each other and were absolutely delicious! The Mac and cheese is an excellent option as a side too!! ”
“ I order the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce and a side of fries! This was super duper delicious. It came out hot. The service was just so wonderful. It was such a beautiful spot in Downtown Geneva. Would totally recommend if you’re in the area! ”
“ We found this restaurant while looking at Google Maps one night when we knew we were going to be in the area. Based on the menu and photos it peaked our interest. We made some reservations for a Saturday evening. Fast forward to the ending... FANTASTIC food. Loaded fries were amazing and all of our burgers were even better than expected. I need to go back and try some of the other options as their menu had more food I want to enjoy. Hostess... extremely nice. Wait staff...a bit slow, but it was busy so no big deal. Only complaint... restaurant has a big LOCAL sign behind the bar but I don't think any of the breweries in the 10 mile radius were on tap. ”
“ We love the place with my spouse . If you love burgers you should definitely try this spot. ”
