I went there this morning around 12pm just to experience for myself. The food is a what you would expect for a smash burger. The milkshakes are delicious. I saw the racism posts going around and it may be true but my server jack was outstanding and when he was busy the other server Virginia had no problem helping me out she was also outstanding. He made the experience worth it so maybe there’s only a few bad apples at this location didn’t really see management helping them at all though.

I was craving a Double bacon cheeseburger and the food did not disappoint!! I also had a strawberry shake that I thought was very good. I enjoyed the vibe eating inside the restaurant. The place was pretty clean. To use the bathroom you need a code. plenty of parking. Kids friendly. They were somewhat busy and lastly customer service was alright.

Who the hell doesn’t like a theme restaurant? This place is pretty dang cool, and the prices aren’t bad either. Had a chili cheese dog, a burger with an onion ring on it, a root beer float and the smothered fries. Everything was pretty good! Shout out to the very friendly and attentive staff.

Super cool retro style restaurant. The philly cheesesteak sandwich was delicious and the cheese fries were awesome. I saw that they had a ton of milkshake and soda flavors but I just got a water in order to make my meal “healthy”. Maybe next time!

I just recently moved to Philadelphia and I think this is one of my go to places for a good burger. I think this would most definitely be a hangover food that I would get on repeat. Our waitress was super friendly and always so attentive. The place was super busy so I know it was good to start off with. I got the Texas burger my friend got the cheeseburger and my other friend got a lettuce wrap of a bacon burger. We ended up getting the spicy fries and also a bacon ranch fry with a root beer float. The burgers were amazing super fresh and super juicy. The fries were also very good and was a big portion that can cheer for two or even three. Genuinely will be coming back and was super yummy
