    Good hamburgers, live music and pickleback shots. This place is a solid choice when visiting Champagne. And oh yeah, Star Wars plates for the bonus point.

    French Onion Dip and chips

    Chips and French onion dip.... 5 stars! Our entire group chowed down. It was perfect. Warm chips...yum.

    I attended a special event here. Small plate food tasting entrees. Significantly, the best food I have had in some years. Just wow creative! Beautiful presentation and a cornucopia of tastes in each entree. What a Champaign gem!

    Corn made with love.

    I just love my plain Jane St. Jack's miracle cheese burger and truffle fries. Today I tried the corn and he was so delicious. I could taste the love put into this sweet peeled little dressed cob. I enjoyed every bite till alas, there was no more.

    This must be one of the best burger restaurants in CU! I ordered a Pickled Egg and an Oklahoma McSmashFace with cold elote salad as the side. They were all tasty! Especially, the burger was impressive! The meat was crispy and the brown color caused by Maillard reaction was literally amazing! The taste was balanced and a little salty, so I didn't add any sauce though there were some bottles at the table/bar. Additionally, their menu was interesting, there're some combined words and some PS sentences there, and it was printed on pieces of paper. I also notice they have a little stage at the corner, and they do have some music festivals waiting for music lovers to come. That's interesting! Overall, a great experience in The Space. I may go there again whenever I want a smash burger!

    Burgers are very creative and tasty. Sides are as well. Good selection of local beers and creative cocktails.

    This meal was 64 dollars. Response to The S + updated review: At that price point, the customers expect the meal to taste good, and unfortunately the fancy jargon on the menu is just fancy jargon. Do better.

    Waiting area.

    Food is great...but no capacity. Went here during downtown event and after 40 minutes they told me 3 burgers ahead of me equals 15 minute wait. Guess they dont do parallel processing here. Fifteen minutes is up so heading elsewhere... nice art for waiting experience.

    Beef hotdog special and cantaloupe gin cocktail. Yes, those are crispy cheese bits along the side of the dog.

    I came here on the night of July 27,2025 with a group of women I befriended at a previous bar. I…read morewas the only masculine lesbian of the group, and the white man who was a "superior" security officer in shorts and sandals refused to let me in. after my friends talked to the man, he claimed that I refused to show ID. I keep two forms of ID in my wallet , and I also had two wristbands on from previous bars I decided to explore. he then lied to my group and claimed I was disrespectful. this was my first time ever going to that bar. I've lived in the area for a year , but I don't get out much. I'm a shy person and I don't talk much. the man never spoke to me regarding iD because I had never been there before. the black man at the door replied "that's the boss " when addressed about the injustices occurring at the entrance. feminine women are welcomed by staff, but masculine women are stopped at the door. go where you're respected sweetheart. Neil st blues is around the corner and they would never treat anyone like that. My people should spend their money where they are appreciated . This is how they feel about us. I don't encourage anyone to spend their money where their money and energy isn't valued. The good people at Neil st blues welcomes everyone no matter what They may believe in and you can tell from the moment you walk through the doors. this place is discriminatory.

    Great ambiance if it suits you. Excellent evening meet spot…read more Also where underagers go downtown to be the Rock and Roll Clown on the weekends.
