I want to be clear upfront, that the food was good. However, our lunch here was ruined because they have a weird policy where if you share food with the person youre with, youre charged an extra $4. My boyfriend and I had lunch here - we bought drinks, I got a sandwich, he got soup. Of course the sandwiches are enormous, which is great, but I cant eat the whole thing, so gave half to my boyfriend. Lo and behold, our check at the end displays a sharing fee of $4. To be fair, this policy IS listed on their menu, but I personally think it is absolutely disgusting to be charged more money based on who ordered and who ate the food. I also have a friend who ordered food to takeaway here and afterwards sat on one of the outside chairs waiting for her ride. She was asked to move since she wasnt a dine in customer, although it was not busy and there were no other customers waiting for seats. -->They do have a list of rules for customers outside saying what you can or cannot do. Not very inviting or friendly! Its very disappointing that they act like this and dont provide a nice happy atmosphere for customers. The food is pretty good, but ultimated our lunch was ruined because we felt wed been cheated, and my friend, who fully paid for her food, could not sit while she waited to be picked up.

Great Food. Honestly, LOVE the food.... However, they have a few policies and/or flaws that I cant agree with. 1st)They serve HUGE portions at a heavy price, and they charge extra to share a plate???????? I mean, come on. 2nd) You will notice (non)official signage on the door "No Weapons" it carries no legal codes, just a cheap sign. So if you are a CCP holder, leave your tool in the car, its not allowed! (Be safe) 3rd)Good Luck getting someone on the phone for a call in order. I once tried for 30 minutes to get someone on the phone for a 17 person order. A workplace takeout. I wanted to share with everyone how good the food was, and called ahead for the size of the order. I called at 11:30am on a Thursday (they open at 11:00) no answer for 30 Minutes. 4th) Not Kid Friendly. When I took my family , the waitress acted like it was a HUGE inconvenience to make accommodations for my two little ones. Again, probably one of my favorite meals, but the experiences leave my looking to other options.

We stopped here while visiting friends. It was LITERALLY THE BEST HAMBURGER IVE EVER EATEN. Ive tried to recreate it but with no luck. The other reviews stated that the staff was rude, that wasnt my experience. Many places have a split fee. As a parent of 2 sometimes well behaved children, I can fairly say Children and some restaurants dont mix. The owners are dedicated to making DELICIOUS food. Not keeping you kid happy. If you want menu items changed go to Burger King, theyll make it your way. Its a bit far from AZ, but I will eat here every time Im in North Carolina.

I go here every Thursday for Bison Burgers. Different concoction every week and it never disappoints. People complain about high prices and extra costs to share a plate... Well rent isnt cheap and their seating is limited, if everyone shared a plate then it would be difficult to serve you outstanding food and keep their doors open. If you dont like either of those aspects well then go eat somewhere else, but youre going to be missing out. Check Facebook every Thursday for the Bison Burger description.

This place is simply amazing! They have amazing food, and such a cool, trendy, but homey feel. Even though we came at an extremely busy time, the staff was very kind and accommodating, and didnt make us feel like an inconvenience. The kids (or adults if you wish ;) ) can color on the tables, and theres a fun chalkboard in the bathroom to leave a note. This place is decorated very well, and you feel right at home when you walk in.

Hours say 11-5 and I was there at 4:40 today after over a year of wanting to try the bison burger and finally getting off in time was rudely informed they were already closed and I then said it says 5 on the door on their website my friend and I were rudely told too bad the grill is already off. I am highly disappointed and after speaking to some friends they concurred that indeed the service is as poor as the food is good.

Great service and food. Agree completely with the other positive reviews about the burgers. The. Best. Burger. Ive. Ever. Had. And they make a different bison burger version every week. On the occasions weve been here where they werent serving burgers Ive found the rest of the menu to be delicious. Its a small place; they cant seat a large group. Absolutely worth checking out.

Buffalo burger is absolutely amazing. Rueben is just OK, pressed is good but if pressed with butter and spices the sandwich would be amazing. 4 cheese Mac and cheese was super gunky and noodles were way over cooked, tasted like cafeteria mac n cheese, not impressed. Overall, good restaurant and will be returning.

This place has one of the best burgers Ive ever had in my entire life, absolutely delicious! The only catch is they are only available on Thursdays and Saturdays. It is not a big restaurant but it has a great atmosphere, it is perfect for a date.

I had a difficult time here: I ordered the bison burger with a side of mac and cheese, and had a tough time deciding which one I had room to finish since they were both so good! The staff was polite and attentive, and the food was excellent!

Rudest people I have ever met. Horrible parking and they dont care if they serve you are not. What a way to NOT represent Wilmington. Why have a kids menu if you refuse to serve them.

The bison burgers were delicious, as was the mac and cheese with pesto! The beer selection is small, but there is some pretty good local stuff in bottles and cans.

Lunch today was great. Jalapeno Mac N Cheese was spot-on, the right amount of heat was there and the smoky flavor was present from the meat and cheese.

Excellent delicatessen. Food is delish. Nothing beats Pellagrino and a Panini. Service albeit was a bit slow, however, they were busy on Easter weekend.

The food is phenomenal. They have a bison burger special that changes but is always tasty. The regular menu is also great. You cant go wrong.
