Delicious!!! We ordered a double smash burger, chicken club, red velvet cupcake milkshake and onion rings to share between the two of us and we could barely finish! The staff was so sweet and helpful. Only reason for the lower rating is the atmosphere. Could use a little polishing and simple touches to make it a bit more welcoming and comfortable. Otherwise zero complaints – will be back!

If you are wanting a burger (beef or vegan) and haven’t stopped here, you are seriously missing out!! We actually came across it by accident and are so glad we did as it easily moves into my top 5 burger list! We had the double bacon cheeseburger, vegan classic burger (photo with the tomato showing,) Big Head Fries and a peach cobbler shake. Way too much food in the end, but oh so good!!

This food was amazing. Service was fast and the food was fresh off the grill, sizzling hot. Fries were AMAZING. Still eating them as I drive away. I got the Western Cheeseburger, picture attached.

Want a good burger? Get a Big Head burger. Just a great smashed burger, the old style greasy burger that you’ll need a towel afterwards. Then don’t forget the fries!!! OMG THE BEST!! Hands down momma would smack Ronald these fries are so good.

Their burgers are delicious, fries have a special seasoning and they are nice and crispy. We really enjoyed their food! Their service was super nice. It is located in downtown and there is metered parking right in front.We are very happy that we stopped here on our way to Minneapolis. If you want a great burger and fries instead of the same old, you need to stop here.

While driving through Iowa, my family starting looking for a place to grab some lunch. The name captivated us and the glowing reviews drew us in. We were not disappointed. The customer service was amazing. We were greeted by multiple people when we walked in. The cashier taking our orders was very friendly. Our burgers, fries, and onion rings were all fresh, hot and super tasty. While we were there, some *difficult* customers came in (they wanted to move tables around from the second they walked in and were arguing very rudely with the lady taking orders about pricing) Someone from the back (not sure if he was a cook, manager, owner?) came out to back her up. Neither of them were rude to the difficult people. The next time we are traveling through the area, we will be back.

Just moved from Texas and this was the first burger place we came to and it was amazingly good! Everything was fresh and the service was great! 10 out of 10 would come again. We got the buffalo wings and bacon burgers and was well worth it!!
