We really enjoyed eating here - they will lettuce-wrap their burgers for those who are gluten free, which is good. The food is pretty tasty too. The staff are fairly nice. And it's lovely to have outdoor seating in the sun. More

If you have not tried one of these burgers you have been missing out. Truly a great place to enjoy some good food for a great price. Sweet potato fries are a must try. More

The best burgers in CA! In and out doesn't hold a candle to it! The atmosphere is also much more laid back here. You won't be disappointed! We just got the origional #1 with a side salad and house dressing. Great deal for the money! More

Fresh, juicy, delicious burgers at a great price. My personal favorite is the Teriyaki Char... but anything you get there will be great! A fun place to hang out with friends and grab some grub to eat. More
