It is really open and has plenty of seating. It has a great selection of food and beer. They have there own beer and guest beer too. There beer taste amazing I got me some to take home. -
Overall Rating: 4.2/10
The venue offers a spacious setting with a relaxed atmosphere, but the culinary experience falls short of expectations. While the environment is inviting and clean, the food's lack of flavor and dryness detracts from the overall dining pleasure.
Atmosphere: 6.1/10
The establishment provides a comfortable and unhurried vibe, allowing guests to enjoy their meal without feeling pressured. Its spaciousness, coupled with clean indoor/outdoor seating options, adds to the appeal, although the decor is described as unique yet basic.
Service: 5.2/10
The service model, offering both tab and upfront payment options, is friendly and accommodates different preferences. The half-service, self-seating approach works well within the casual setting.
Food:
Signature Burger: 4.1/10
Despite its appealing presentation, the burger disappoints in taste. It's described as extremely bland, with both the beef and sauce lacking depth of flavor. Even the bun, although basic, ends up dominating the taste experience due to the meat's underwhelming presence.
Mac n Cheese: 3.3/10
This dish suffers from dryness and a lack of creamy cheese sauce, leading to a less enjoyable meal.
Chicken Wings: 5.2/10
The wings meet the basic expectations for taste and cooking but don't distinguish themselves from offerings at other venues.
Value: 5.2/10
At $45 for a meal for three, the pricing is considered reasonable, aligning with the average quality and quantity of the food served. -
Just ordered dinner from you. Couldn't even pack an order correctly. I never got the double smash burger I ordered, only the kid burger. I did get a salad and some dessert i didnt order instead of my burger. At least my son gets to eat, but now I need to order food from somewhere else just for myself because I'm certainly not trusting you to fulfill an order ever again. Do better training your employees properly! -
Stopped in for dinner while travelling through on a business trip and found this place to have some great burgers, brews, and service. This was within an hour of closing and they were still happy as ever. We even tried some samples of brews on tap before had a glass, I really thought that was unique. Bookmarked and will stop in again when in Durham! 5/5 -
The Duke Diablo Smashburger, and fries was absolutely amazing. The West Coast IPA was delicious. It’s not very often that I can’t finish my food and or beer because of the sheer amount of food on the plate. I finished the burger, but had to leave fries and part of my beer just could not physically eat or drink anymore, but it was delicious. Love the beer it forward board. I’ve seen them with first responders teachers in military before. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of the board, but they had airline teacher school counselor. I can’t even remember everything they had but they had several different categories that you could buy a beer for. Great idea when I’m back in Durham. I’m sure I will stop by and see you all again.
