fish sandwich is awesome, too. wow, tried their beer battered haddock sandwich (can't always choose the burger, right?), and it was outstanding - nice batter, not at all greasy, and the fish was tender and flakey with great fish flavor. and it was huge, it was hanging out both sides of the bun.

a better burger. our first visit here for lunch today was a nice experience. theplaceis small, well decorated in the style of a bar with good pub food and big screen tvs - there is also some patio seating.
they offer 8 "named" house burgers (6 or 8 oz for $8/$9 with a side), or you can build your own - this can get a little pricey depending on your toppings. a 6 oz burger with jalapenos, pepperjack cheese, and grilled onions billed out at $8.50, but you get a side - one of big burger spots large burgers run $7 without a side.
the burger itself here is simply excellent - very flavorful with a slight touch of greasiness that makes a good burger - only angus meat is used. i would go with the brioche, and would definitely skip the potato roll, both flavor and texture are off, imho. only mis-step was the burger was somewhat rarer than medium.
the ff are awesome, well cut and fried to the perfect crispness, even fairly well salted. the side slad with blue cheese dressing was also nice - lots of cheese crumbles in the dressing. they offer home made chips but they are of the sweet potato variety and i only eat sweet potatoes in casseroles, and then only on selected holidays when turkey is served.
this large style burger (as opposed to the smaller diner/cafe burgers served at danny's or oakcrest) is right up there with big burger spot and emma kay's as the best of its style in the triad.
they have a small lot, and parking can be a problem, especially when josephine's next door is busy.
