A Flop.

Before I continue, know that I appreciate and support local, small establishments as well as a good burger.

Let's start with the food: I ordered a cheeseburger with onions and mushrooms. The waitress looked at me like I was nuts, so I should not have been shocked to receive my cheeseburger without any of my requested toppings.

The burger was drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy. I will say that my friends enjoyed their specialty burgers (firehouse and soldier). Regardless - if you can't master the basics...you should be shamed.

We also split tater tots (ya tots!) and onion rings. Both were overly cooked and heavy. I saw people ordering the fries - they looked like they were from soggs-ville.

If you still go and get a side - onion rings are your best bet.

As for service:

My first impression: I watched a waitress exclaim "MOVE!!!" to a patron. In her defense he was in the way and she had a tray of food - but pleeeease.

I also had to ask for mayo THREE times.

If you are looking for a quaint, hole in the wall burger joint...move on over to Bellaire Broiler Burger instead.
