I was reluctant to check this place out b/c I was tired, didn't want to drive to Claremont just for a burger, and frankly, just sick of burgers. My friends said they had heard great things about this place so I finally said ok, and my husband, 5 year old daughter, and myself went with our friends. Up the stairs was a table covered with crayons, coloring books, and reading books (all clean, nice, new) to keep the kids busy. I couldn't believe how very friendly, and professional, our servers were. We never once had to ask for anything, they were very attentive. I have never seen such an awesome menu for burgers! A half lb burger (I don't think they even have 1/4 pd...) is $8.99. This includes 3 items that you can choose from a lengthy list of "mix-ins", meaning you can have them mix into your burger patty before cooking it items like sun dried tomatoes, red onions, bacon, roasted red peppers, and the list goes on. Then you choose your cheese out of like 12 different cheeses. Then they have more different spreads to choose from like pesto, etc. I chose the chili pepper mayo which was awesome. Then you get your choice of sides: mashed potatoes that are like a baked potato w/all the fixings, steak fries, or homemade onion rings, homemade potato chips, etc. I had the onion rings and they were the best I've ever had. My friends ordered the cheese sticks and when the menu said " a wall of cheese" they really meant it. Those were the best, biggest cheesesticks I've ever had. The potato skins were to die for! Just amazing, yummy good food. Full bar. They have a kids menu, and for $4.29 and $5.29 kids can get chs burger, mini corn dogs, chkn strips, and fries and a drink. Big portions for kids, too! Servers were sweet to the kids as well. Different, the place a bit eclectic. Very enjoyable experience all around. Huge portions/servings. Extremely tasty food, best burgers we've ever had. Definitely GOURMET! We will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you Jose and staff!
Pros: Totally awesome food all around.
Cons: I live in OB and I wish it was closer instead of Claremont.
