The owner was very friendly and had great stories to tell. Being an old shop, it had the stools at the counter and a few booths. We sat at the counter as all the staff knew my colleague since he was a kid. You don't find jewels like this everywhere. I ordered a double cheese burger, toppings, and tots-crispy. It came out perfect. I spent two minutes devouring the burger, then casually consumed the tots listening to the stories. This place is what America used to be like, yet still has that fire. I hope to pass through here again. Next time maybe the chili dogs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I ordered the Reuben, my wife got the fish, my daughter got the loaded nachos and my granddaughter got a grilled cheese and fries. We ordered some hush puppies to share. My Reuben was pretty good and so were hush puppies. My wife's fish was overcooked and dry. My daughter's nachos were ehh...not great, but not bad. Hard to mess up a kid's grilled cheese and fries. The food was good, but the bathrooms...you can't have bathrooms that nasty in a place that serves food, because if it looks like that, chances are that there are cleanliness issues elsewhere.

The venue is great. The location is perfect. The burgers are yuck…read more We had dinner here as a family of four on an early Friday night (tonight). There was no wait. We sat outside and enjoyed the scenery. It is a beautiful location right next to the River District. There's a lovely park, splash pad, and playground right along the Dan River. We were so stoked to eat right there. The interior of the restaurant was so fun. We loved the decorations. Books everywhere! The server was ok at first. But when we were done, I did not like how she presented me the check. She just quickly flashed me an amount on a screen, and then hid the screen. I asked if I could pay cash and she accepted it but did not bring me a check even then. We ordered 3 burgers that sounded really good. Such a disappointment. The burger meat in each was shaped perfectly and was as hard as a hockey puck. They appeared to be cooked medium but the meat was tough and gristly. I have no idea how they got all the burgers the exact, uniform hockey puck shape. They must be like those frozen ones you can get at Costco. But $17.95 for a frozen hockey puck? At one point, while my kids were telling me how gross the patties were, while my husband and I told them they had to eat them to go play on the playground, I flagged the server down and asked what type of meat it was. She said beef. However, it did not taste like beef. Thank goodness for all the toppings because if they were plain burgers, they would have been inedible. We were so hungry though so we ate what we could. Notably, the buns also tasted cheap like they had just come out of a stale grocery store deli bag. The seasoned fries, sweet potato fries, the homemade ranch and ketchup, and salad with homemade vinaigrette were ok. After we left, I added up what we ordered again and realized she must have charged me an extra $12 to swap out a veggie patty for a beef patty. I was not told there would be an upcharge so felt a little swindled, especially with how she presented the check. I wish I had kept the veggie patty though, because it probably would have been better. Also my kid who had said the burgers were so gross puked right after we left and immediately felt much better and enjoyed 2 hours on the playground. My other kid was jealous of the other one puking. Like you can't make this kind of stuff up. This spot has so much potential. I would honestly hope to visit again just to chill outside but would not ever eat the burgers.
