First off, i'm so over places offering only Maine Root options. These always taste horrible. Id pay double for a canned coke or pepsi anyday. Before we get to the disappointment of a burger, lets talk about the onion rings and the fries, as they shared the same problem. Either your oil needed to be changed 2 days ago, or your timer stopped working. Both came out brown and tasted of bitter overused oil. Now to the burger. I do appreciate the amount of pickle slices on this burger, but this heavy hand was also responsible for the mustard levels! I think i'll be tasting mustard for a couple days. The bun was too soft and barely held up to the task. If I do give this place another shot, it will be minus mustard for sure.

My BFF and I came here looking for Spin Burger and realized this location had moved in. Sad I…read moredidn't get a burger frisbee, but this was a great substitute. FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie - The cookies are definitely great--no crazy standout, but they had a distinct oat flavor. I can imagine sea salt would enhance the flavor even more. I love chocolate chip, though... and FREE is the best seasoning. Mushroom Truffle - We agreed to split these burgers 50/50, and bro zoned out while eating; I got like 1/4 of it. Hopefully that emphasizes how much he enjoyed this burger. The first thing I noticed was that the patty wasn't as thick. I do like their burgers and how they're medium-rare, but this one was much more packed with mushrooms, per the burger style. If it had the B&B patty, this would've been my favorite. Hold up--I did not know this was an Impossible patty. Not bad, but it does explain the difference in flavor. Still, it paired exceptionally well with the mushrooms. Black & Blue - Very deep flavors. I didn't like it as much as the Mushroom Truffle. In fact, I felt like this was way too saucy. The blue cheese didn't hold the show as much as the rest of the burger, and I'm a sucker for blue cheese. Like, inject Penicillin straight into my soul; obsessed. Anyways, it was just okay. My BFF and I agreed that these burgers are TENDER. Like, "didn't have to chew; it was a soft slush in my mouth" tender. Anyways, the sauce on both of these was on point--the first bite was a very obvious banger of flavors. Okay. I lied; these are ALL Impossible patties. Instantly changed the game because these were very well executed. On the way out, one of the workers (perhaps the owner) asked for our feedback. Apparently, many of these burgers are new menu items, and we got to hear a bit of their backstory (and got another FREE cookie). Some of the loveliest people I've met. I really love what they're doing here, and I'm glad they moved just 15 minutes away from our location. Wishing them the best!

The lovely woman who helped us during our last visit also gave Zoloft a pup cup, so they've consistently shown kindness to our little family. They even gave complimentary vegan cookies to guests when we arrived (not sure if it was a special promotion, but such a thoughtful touch!). And the ice cream... WOW.

There is some picnic bench seating if you care to eat there, but each order is ready to take home You can also find a menu and other information posted on the outside. The menu mostly offers burgers, but there are a couple other offerings like a cheesesteak, partner, etc. The staff were very friendly and precessional. I really appreciated that they double checked everything in our to-go bags against what we ordered just to make sure we had everything. Everything was bagged, and the orders had the individual order and special order requests written on top Everything tasted great. The burgers were classic burgers, slightly messy, but very flavorful. The fries weren't quite as crisp as I like, but they were seasoned well and tasty Some tips: Consider ordering online so you can have your meal ready when you arrive The burgers/entrees don't come with fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries to share. One order of fries is more than enough for 2 people to share. To do this just make your meal a combo on the ones you want to have fries. Combos also come with a drink, but it's not a fountain drink it's in cans which they also bag for you Cheers!!

When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.

My husband and I are on keto diets and our options are limited. He had heard that Mighty Fine offers smash burgers as salad bowls, along with their more traditional offerings. As part of a weeknight date, we had dinner at this Mighty Fine location on the way to a few other destinations. We both ordered triple smash burger bowls, because the employee we talked to explained that the smash patties are about 2oz each. We both added cheese, avocado, pickles, and mustard. He got raw onions and I got grilled onions. My first impression of the burger was that the onions looked stewed or steamed more than grilled. Onions are usually almost too strong of a flavor for me, but these were bland. The blandness continued through to all the ingredients, but especially the burger patties. A few months ago I made a better smash burger at home on my first try. We were starving, and ate it all up and enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as we had hoped. The interior is quaint and I like the community style seating, and ended up talking to a lonely older man who clearly welcomed someone to talk to.

That said I'll be brief as if you've been to Arby's, outside of service, the food should be about the same. As far as sides go, their curly fries are the best fries in the fast-food business. The reason is simple, they're unique and very well-seasoned. The mozzarella stick are ok but lets face it, any fast food join that sells them, purchases these generic frozen sticks and fries them. So, I'd rate them average for fast-food but below average if comparing them to sit down restaurants. Their soft drinks are much like any other chain however where we diverge from the norm are their Jamocha shakes. If you like a coffee flavor in your shake this is pretty good, otherwise their shakes are on par with all others that you can zip in and purchase within minutes. Again, if you've had Arby's before there food should be familiar to you. The roast beef sandwiches (with Arby's & Horsey sauce) are really good. I used to work there in my teen years and I can tell you yes, they cook the big slabs of meat every morning. I wish they brought back the super as it has lettuce and tomato on it, but I digress. One of the things about Arby's is they're not afraid to offer interesting sandwiches outside of their best sellers. The Ruben is pretty good for fast-food. Using their signature beef as the base, then pile on sauerkraut, melted Swiss and thousand island dressing. It's actually really good. The "Greek" gyro is decent as I'm not sure what meat they use but it's not even close to authentic but the rest of the sandwich is tasty. Just don't expect the quality of someone that specializes in that food culture. When they have the Italian Sub it's surprisingly good. Not as good as those specialty shops but not bad. Overall I don't eat fast-food often and when I do Arby's is a once in a year thing for me at best. But when one considers their roast beef sandwiches, well no one else has something like it so they've cornered the market so to say. That along with their sauces, I'm actually now craving their food. Summing things up, this store is on par with any other of their facilities so if you're craving them, don't be afraid to drop by the place that claims "we have the meats!"
