Great food but totally disorganized staff. Imstead of taking orders and getting the burgers going, they only handle 3-5 orders and you wait for those burgers to get done before another order is taken. Wait is always too long and they need to speed up the process. Half the grill is empty and people wait outside in line.

The best fast food around. I recommend the 3 layer fries, cheeseburger, and bbq chicken sandwich. I would go more often if not for the rude, arrogant, cross-eyed looking owner with the dark hair. Half the time he looks stoned. I feel bad for his brothers (they are great!) working with him. Hours stink 11-5 Mon-Sat. Very long lines, expect to wait 20-30 minutes. With the money this place brings in, they should expand it or move, and make it dine-in friendly.

This restaurant would get a five star rating from me if it wasn't for the atmosphere. The food is wonderful and also beautifully presented. The only thing holding this place back is the decor, bright lights and lack of background music making this ...

This is a truly great fast food restaurant! The only drawback is the small size of the building they are in. They have seating for maybe 7 skinny people. After eating the food portions served all 7 will not fit. The food is great and worth waiting in line for!
