Shocked by how good their salmon BLT was. I never had a salmon sandwich in my life and I was kinda suspicious but the sauce tied everything together so, so well. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. So impressive. We also tried their special burger with pretzel bun. Also super good. The menu was straightforward and really affordable. Their chips were also seasoned well. Highly recommend

Really cool burger joint. The decor is very inviting. Our server was fast and friendly. To the point I had to ask if he was the owner. Sadly I didn’t catch his name. But he was back and forth taking care of lots of tables and cleaning up and taking orders. The food was amazing and made to perfection. We had apparently pretzel and cheese curds for appetizers. The mustard and cheese dip was delicious. For burgers we got the Fun Guy burger and Waynesburger. Very tasty and made just right. Highly recommend and will be coming back when we visit.

Found this place taking a detour through Waynesboro, VA through downtown. I am glad the roadblock made me take a left down a side road. Brandon our bartender made a nice rendition of a margarita. It's called the Poodle. Highly recommended! 💥 black Salt is cool. I've never had that before. I like it. We just got the wings because we already ate. But the Thai wings were great. My girl and I was trying to figure out the flavoring. As a chef, that's what I do. Explore other food. Atmosphere was cool, place was busy on a Tuesday night. I'll be back on purpose this time.

We were in town visiting looking for a local gem.... and we found it!! From the food to the atmosphere and the service everything was great👌! We came in with a large party made up of 3 families. We split up into different tables but were quickly able to be seated. We ordered the Lunker fries and fried ravioli to start off. Both were delicious. We ordered kids burgers for the kids and they eat every bite. Everything we tried was delicious which is rare and hard to find that every member of our party is satisfied!! Highly recommend

We had a great lunch. Even though they were really busy on the waynesboro winter fest day, we got seated immediately and were brought our food very quickly after ordering!
