    Western Burger & Fries
    Steve C.

    First visit, I ordered the Western burger. This was a huge burger, and it did have a lot of flavor, however, the double stacked burgers themselves were very thin and overly crispy. My wife had the chicken tenders and they lacked much flavor other than tasting like old grease. Staff was friendly and efficient. They have a handful of tables for inside seating and they also have tables for outside seating. Even though this lunch fell a bit short, I would happy to give them a second try. Of course, you can also get fresh craft beer and wine to enjoy with your meal.

    Smash burger with mushrooms and cheese - so freaking greasy

    On vacation in the area and having dinner in an old train sounded cool so we came here. The weather was great out and a band was about to start playing so we decided to eat outside by a train rather than inside in the train. We were two of about seven people in the seating area yet these guys still plugged in speakers and essentially blasted us out of the seating area. As soon as our food arrived, we moved to a different spot cuz it was so effing loud. It was ridiculous - more folks showed up for dinner and nobody was sitting over there because it was just too loud. As for the food, the fries were good. The first bite of my smash burger was good but it was a struggle to keep it together. By the third bite, it was getting messy. Maybe that's how smash burgers are supposed to be - I don't know, it was the first one I ever had. I had to gave up after about five bites because it was so greasy. I don't know if it's the meat used, added butter/oil while cooking, the cheese, whatever but I don't have a gallbladder and I was very sick the next day. If all smash burgers are that greasy, I guess I am never ever getting one again. Gross.

    The pretzel bites, train wreck, and bourgeois burgers.

    So this is a neat little burger joint nestled outside the hustle and bustle in the quaint town of Talking Rock. While maps have you pull off 136 at what appears to have been a restaurant at one point and is permanently shut down, it is actually past the park and around the corner on the left. The burgers are all doubles with gourmet twists on each one. Nice staff and beautiful porch seating although half will have you baking in the sun. Good food!

    We took a little road trip on a Saturday morning to Talking Rock and was happy to see this recently opened restaurant. Really cool place to stop and hangout during a mountain drive. Brewery is next door and a few shopping options across the street. The people there were all super nice and friendly. We had the smash burger and chicken salad. Both were really good. We will go back again because we want to try some of the other offerings.

    Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. Quick service too. The booth options to dine in the drain are also pretty neat

    First time here, while in town for work. Huge selection of craft beer and plenty on tap…read more I got a flight of 3. My favorite was Maine Lunch IPA. I also got a container of the Cajun Mix, which was very good. They have a large outdoor patio area, part of which is covered.

    January 2, 2021 On…read moreour home bound road trip from Ohio, we stopped a couple of times but came here especially to try the beer. It was a little chilly, but not quite "Ohio" chilly so we sat ourselves outside with a couple of hazy IPA aka Juice Bombs from Sloop Brewery. This brew pub is sandwiched between brick buildings: Stacks, a burger pub, on the right and another commercial building on the left. Across the street is the Police, so be warned, and don't get too funky. We asked if they had food and said no but it was ok to get some take out and eat it at their table or order from Stacks (what we did) and they bring it to your table from next door. Even better. Stacks' mushroom burger and stack cheese burger were very good too. We washed those down with another set of local IPAs called Southeast by Tailgate Brewery in Nashville, TN, also very good. Some of the tables have heating lamps which would have been nice as it got chillier. Not ours. But no sweat. This place does occasionally make their own beer as well but it's primarily a brew pub which sells other beer and canned beer from all over. I'm glad we had a chance to come. Now for the drive home. Thankfully we are less than 2 hours away. Atlanta here we come!
