i don't think i'll go again.. the highlight of the experience was the burger. i ordered the shroom burger, it was above average but not great. i ordered medium well and it was medium well and juicy. it was slightly under-seasoned but nothing major. in general, i was happy with the burger.

what killed it for me was the atmosphere and service. we were seated in the basement. the tables in the basement are setup more like something you would see in a gas station bbq joint in texas than a bar in detroit. the basement is loud and echoing so it was hard to hold a conversation with my boyfriend. there was a fairly continuous line of people waiting to use the one-stall men's bathroom in the basement which made it feel like you were sitting the the back row of an airplane flying back from las vegas just after last call.

service was slow. we waited to order drinks. we waited to order food. we waited to get our drinks. we waited a lot, at pretty much every stage of the process. i think it took 10 minutes to swipe our credit card at the end just so we could leave.

as we walked out the door there was a hostess/server near the door that was waiting for people to come in who ignored us as we walked out the door. no "thank you for coming." no "have a good night." being ignored as we left sealed the deal. i won't be going back.

tried a blue apple burger and garlic fries. ordered medium, got rare. it was decent, but certainly not spectacular. beer selection is okay. one server was stuck handling all of the basement section, and due to that our service was less than stellar. wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

my fiance nix and i have been thinking of trying this place for a while. it was pretty good.
nice handpacked burgers with fresh toppings. very good fries. freshly brewed ice tea.
nasty but huge ceasar salad. no bacon, no onion, tiny bit of cheese, very little dressing, extremely greasy (but yummy) croutons and some brown lettuce.
the coleslaw was dreamy.

we'll go back.

first try: not bad. we've driven past this a number of time since they've opened, and have only just recently stopped in for our first bite. i had their "juicy burger", a hand-formed patty with cheese inside the burger. it was good, not great, but good. i've had a lot of burgers in this town, and know what i like. the burger was indeed fresh, well-cooked and stacked up with fresh toppings. however, it didn't resonate with me like other burgers have. it lacked some flavor. like they didn't add any spices to the beef when mixing it up for making patties. i'll definitely have to try something else on their menu to see what other items are like.

on the side i had some of their hand-cut fries and their slaw. the fries were standard fries, nothing extraordinary, though i did appreciate the use of sea salt, and options for pepper as well. the slaw, on the other hand, was quite exquisite. very tangy and fresh with a wonderful zing to it.

my fiancé had their burger that came with the pulled bbq pork on it (i can't recall the name at this moment). she said that on the menu it was a burger "covered in our pulled pork and slathered in bbq sauce". well, there wasn't very much pork on the burger (but said pork was very tender and tasty) but it was barely doused with the afore-mentioned sauce. it was all good, but like above with my meal, not great.

we shared a caesar salad on the side, as well which was also a slight disappointment. elements were great, like how much salad you got for the money, the fact that the dressing is home made and the house-made croutons were a delightful change (if a bit over-fried and greasy). but it didn't come with nearly enough dressing for the amount of salad presented (we had to ask for more). also, there weren't any additional elements to the salad. i.e, no tomatoes (i know most don't come with), barely any cheese, no bacon, no onion... just lettuce, one shake of cheese, healthy dose of croutons and a spoon-full of dressing. mildly disappointing.

all in all, i do like the place, but if i'm in the mood for a good burger, i have a half-dozen other places i'd go to before this place for my fix. so i will have to try again and get something else to see where they stand out from the crowd.

amazing hot dogs and the "adult" milkshakes are awesome. they definitely don't skimp on the liquor and the food quality is great. such a cool atmosphere and it looks like an authentic diner. exactly what detroit needs.
