I had this place saved as places to visit as a unique place to eat next time we were in town; and unique it was! With neon signs hanging all over it definitely gave you plenty of things to look and talk about while there. They boasted themselves as having the biggest and best burgers in town so I figured that’s what I would eat. While I waited I noticed they had been featured on "Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" so I figured if it was good enough for him to mention I should be in for a treat. When I got my food I do believe they live up to their claims, the burger was huge it was all I could do to fit in my mouth; and oh sooo juicy! So if you’re visiting from out of town looking for some place different that you’re not going to find around every corner that has good food this is definitely a must.

Great atmosphere with quick friendly service. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Drink refills are immediate. When busy does take a little time for the food to cook but no longer than it should. Menu is big and having never been here needed a couple minutes to decide. Burgers are massive and the smoked bacon is absolutely amazing. My burger was pretty dry, maybe just a one off, wouldn't stop me from returning.

My son and I went there this past Sunday and unfortunately did not know they were closing early for the holiday. weekend, so we ate quickly. I would like to go back when we can REALLY enjoy the burgers as they were amazing! Cooked to perfection. I like mine rare, and it was! I built my own with provolone cheese and pineapple and their BBQ sauce (that comes on the side). It was so good! I highly recommend this place for their burgers! Packed with flavor!

It's got limited seating, so getting there a little earlier than the rush is a good idea. The food was good, but very messy. Luckily, they keep a large stack of napkins in all of the tables. I had to deconstruct my burger to create a mushroom burger sandwich that would fit into my mouth and snacked on the burger like a side. The flavors were excellent, and the saucy cheese called for full use of 4 napkins. Bring your biggest appetite, and maybe some wet wipes if you plan to eat here. The bathroom in the main dining area is a dinky one seater in need of refurbishment. Prices are based on each of us getting a burger plus a cider for him and a glass of wine for me

Wow!! Amazing food, charming atmosphere, and fantastic service! A friend north of Dayton swore that this place has the best burgers, so we made the trek and I have to agree it's worth the trip!

The service here is great! One of our burgers came under temp and our server had it taken care of immediately. The duck fat fries and the sauces are delicious. Very cool atmosphere with lots of funky signs. Highly recommend a visit.

This place is a gem. Tucked away in a small neighborhood. Best burgers in Cincy. Have a great selection of craft burgers. Hope you have a large mouth to fit these 1/2 pound monsters in. Grab extra napkins too. Fried corn is a great alternative to the standard potato chips.
