The roasted brussel sprouts are scrumptious! Tacos, salads, burgers, fries, wings, and more – everything is delicious. Patio seating was really enjoyable. Casual atmosphere. Great place!

Burgers had great flavor and were very filling… took about 30 minutes to get 2 burgers and 1 chicken sandwich… inside eating area lacks personality, felt like eating in someones back room

Fantastic food! A bit of a long wait, but that happens when it’s that good, I suppose. The beer selection was a little disappointing though, as I like dark beers and the choices were quite limited. There was only one stout and it was super sweet. If you have 30 beers, more than one stout would be nice.

One server was rather rude, because I didn’t see any sign to wait for a hostess… the server we got was very nice though. Honestly, the food was ok. Nothing special by any means. Average burgers. Definitely not worth $50 plus tip for a couple burgers and fries with fountain sodas. Table was really sticky.

Second time coming here: didn’t think we’d have to wait longer than last time, which was one hour for two people and mediocre Brussel sprouts. For a cheeseburger and sandwich, waited over 1.5 hours and literally no one here other than the flies buzzing around. When asked of the time on food, snapped at by snotty server woman who clearly needs a job she loves.

Being honest with a negative review is difficult. I had a very bad experience and the desire to punish the restaurant for this is compelling. I’ll keep it short and as dry as possible. We arrived at 5:45 PM on Sunday May 28th. We were told it would be a 30-minute wait. We were seated at 6:45 PM. We quickly ordered two hamburgers. We received our food at 7:55PM – about two hours after arriving. We were so low on blood sugar, it’s impossible to be fair about the food – we just wolfed it down. Maybe this was an off night. I can’t tell you exactly what went wrong – the staff didn’t check on us and the kitchen obviously wasn’t moving the food. They didn’t really look all that jammed. It just seems like nobody was paying attention. Bottom line: What should have been a pleasant dinner in Grass Valley turned into a bad memory best forgotten.

The pretzel was the highlight of the show! The cheese dip definitely needs work. The fries were not fresh and double cooked. Would be better fresh. The Chicken bacon ranch sandwich was ok, but the bread was way to hard. It would be better on their brioche bun. Service definitely not the best! We waited over 40 mins. The waitress also forgot things and took forever! The hostess was kind of rude. The truffle aioli is disgusting! Way to pricey for that subpar food! This place needs work! 2 stars for the pretzel!

!! 3 strikes and you are out! Eaten here 3 times and I really wanted like this place. Service was terrible every time. When I went this week we ordered three hamburgers it took an hour and 5 minutes to get the meal. With two drinks..soda.. it was $80 without the tip!. I will never spend $80 again on three hamburgers that are just okay. I had to hunt down the waitress to give us our bill. She never came back and the hostess said that that’s what she does. How do you keep an employee that is known for bad service. I’m a small business owner I would never run a business like this. Perhaps that’s why there’s other local places that are much more affordable and much more crowded. Don’t waste your time and money

We LOVE coming here (especially our dog)! Great covered outdoor patio we love to sit at – they’re very dog friendly and provide a water bowl and offer a “puppy patty” as a menu option (it’s a burger patty). Every single dish we’ve gotten has been nothing short of amazing, and they’ve got a.graat selection of beers and ciders on tap.
