    THIS is the reason I don't like going to chain restaurants when I'm out of town! Love finding the little places that the locals go to, even when it is in a small strip mall. The Hawaiian Cowboy hot dog was amazing. Only suggestion would be to maybe try grilled crushed pineapple instead of the chunks, it might be easier to eat. Added a side of waffle fries and was full. Both were great, I'm thinking of maybe 2 dogs and no fries next time. Great prices fast and courteous service. They have indoor and outdoor tables. Specialty flavored bottle drinks or fountain drinks. Can't say enough about this place.

    I went out of my way to support a local spot on National Burger Day, and left hungry and frustrated. I'm vegetarian, and was excited to see Black Bean and Impossible Burger options on the menu. I ordered at the counter, initially asking to substitute a Black Bean patty on the Spicy Burger — which they couldn't do — so I rebuilt the same burger through the "Build Your Own" option. I explicitly mentioned twice that I'm vegetarian and can't eat beef. The burger that came out was beef. When I brought it back and asked them to verify, the staff member took it to the kitchen and returned confirming it was, in fact, a regular beef burger — and then tried to hand it back to me. No apology, no offer to remake it, no refund. Only after I explained that I cannot eat it and asked her to throw it away did I get a flat "sorry about that." That was it. I ended up leaving very upset at this place. Mistakes happen — and that is OK. But the complete absence of any attempt to make it right is what stings. A replacement, a refund, even a genuine acknowledgment would have gone a long way. None of that came. I hope this serves as a way for this place to improve, so they do not repeat this. The reason for at least 2-stars is because at least my son's food was good, and ultimately I do want to support local places.

    I have wanted to try this place for some time. WOW! I am sooo glad we came here. I've been in the hospital for almost a week. I was craving good food, but also hungry. Approximately 5 minutes after discharge, we arrived here. The staff member was AMAZING! (Shout out to Talon!) (sp?) He was so patient, kind, inviting, and helpful. The food was incredible! I don't like burgers (or soda, but more on that in a minute). I do love to get one at the beach, though. Island Burgers won me on burgers during beach trips. This place definitely rivals there! I am so happy we came today. The burgers are fresh, toppings are plentiful, customization options are insane, the service tops it all, and the weather was beautiful. Now, for any soda people, this place is a MUST try! My daughter actually changed what she was going to get on a recommendation from the worker. Mmm, it was delicious! Even I liked it... so much I couldn't stop "trying" it!! It was pretty busy when we visited around 2p. I couldn't imagine during a lunch or dinner rush. Thank you, Corbett's!! We were definitely cared for here, and left happily stuffed! (With plenty of leftovers!)

    I always like to be fair when writing ✍️ my reviews this burger bar has been on point every single time I have went. My cousin loved it , my mom and step dad loved it, my boyfriend loved it. The burgers are made fresh and the chili is delicious. Not to mention 100’s of different soda flavors for you to choose from. This is my new go to for burgers if I don’t go here I make them at home absolutely the best and the staff awesome every single time . You will not be disappointed.
