All bark, no bite.
Ho Hum. With all the hype and accolades (and a few recommendations) I was expecting more than just a mediocre burger and fries. I ordered a small bacon cheese and small fry and just about loaded the thing with toppings. Kudos for a set price and toppings "free".

Grades:
B = The beef was good, not fab, just good.
D- = Bun - standard restaurant supply generic white sesame seed.
B = Iceberg lettuce and tomato.
A+ = Fresh sliced jalapenos & grilled onions.
A = crispy generous bacon (compared to other "2 thin slice" places)
F = canned rubbery mushrooms. BOO!
C- = Thick cut skins fries (which I usually LOVE elsewhere) here were heavy and soggy - almost to the rubbery point. Disappointing

Now onto the ambiance...
Noise level from grill and music made it very difficult to order and enjoy company. Hard chairs and small tables made it uncomfortable to eat in.

Summary:
C for the food - average
D for the ambiance - below average
For the price, you can get a better burger and fries elsewhere.
