Our 1/2 LB signature burgers have been dubbed the “Best Burgers in Town”. Using only midwest, grain-fed natural beef, these hand-packed patties contain a mix of chuck, steak and brisket and are ground fresh by Ascot Meats. Our mouth’s are watering just by talking about them!

















Our Fans
- Ellen M. 4/14/2025We just ate here for the first time tonight and it was AMAZING! We tried to go to a different restaurant but it was too crowded and this place was close so we decided to try it. The service was quick and fantastic. Our server was very attentive the whole time. And even though it was a bar, the atmosphere is still very family friendly (I had my two kids with). As a group, we had cheese curds and pretzels bites as appetizers which were yummy. My husband had the tomato basil soup (which I had to try too) and it was the best tomato basil soup we have ever had! For dinner, I had the Smash burger and OMG it was so delicious with the garlic aioli and the pickles! Others at the table had salads, the bean burger, the El fuego burger and more and everything was fantastic! We will definitely be back to this place and we will be spreading the word because this food was too good to not talk it up!read moreread less
