The food and ambiance was amazing! All of us loved our food. My husband and I split the fried cheese burger and the southern fried chicken. The service was excellent and our waitress was very friendly.

My husband placed the empty hummus platter to the side of the table too quickly. As the waitress came to bus the platter away, I swooped in and grabbed the bowl to smear my last piece of pita around the bowl to ensure not one drop of that delicious hummus was left to waste. The waitress laughed and I was completely unashamed of my greed.
Speaking of the waitresses, they were friendly and attentive and gave great service. I usually like a more subdued ambiance, but they played great music and it just seemed to add to the experience in a positive way.
My husband had the Chanute burger and I had the "Fish Sandwich"...best fish sandwich of my life.
If only this place wasn't three hours from home. Now I have to figure out how to blacken Maui Maui...

Traveling with my husband for business. Very long car ride and we made it around 5 pm yesterday. Got a quick workout in and he told me I HAD to try this place out. He frequents the area and said it is incredible.

It was sooo good. Out of Sauvignon Blanc so went for the Chardonnay. Fried Cheese Burger with tots. Hubby had the fish sandwich with fries. Couple of old fashions. Worth the splurge on calories. You only live once! A must do when in the area. The staff is super nice and the food is incredible. Listen to the hubby.

The restaurant is overcrowded. And the workers are just not friendly. The food is ok. I'd recommend fiddlehead in Michigan City instead.

Killer tall grass fed beef burgers. My all-time fave is the figgy piggy-goat cheese with fig jam and greens on top. Don't forget to upgrade to sweet potato tots. They also serve homemade chocolate chip warm brownie dessert. Signature cocktails and craft beer

Really phenomenal and unique burgers -- I had the figgy piggy and it was delicious. Definitely rich, which makes sense with the goat cheese, but so so good. My husband had the southern fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The fried pickles were pretty good -- although I prefer slightly more pickle than breading. The perch cakes were good and had a lot of fish in them, but weren't my favorite dish of everything we ordered. The wait staff was quick and friendly. Overall would highly recommend!

Great little place think a lot of locals which always means good food. The tots appetizer delicious ate so many was hard to eat our dinner and took the remaining home for later. Had the burger of the day and the figgy burger. Great quality of beef, all the toppings are fresh and great flavor. The topping pairings are spot on, fig jam was sweet but the goat cheese balanced it out. Will be back next time in town. If I had a detractor it would be that it is very loud with all the conversations but a very nice place.

We had a great time! Good service, delicious food, and we had a pretty view of the Christmas trees in the park.

Whenever my gf lets me (she hates burgers) I'm coming here . Grass fed organic beef, weird funky options or build your own....always get the taco tots and Buffalo fry appetizers, it's small so wait times can happen but I think it's worth the wait
