Roger visited during the start of pandemic lockdown and found a hustling, friendly team turning out old-school diner burgers he called In-N-Out-level, with fries he liked even better.

“Burgers remind me of nostalgic old school diner burgers. Definitely In-N-Out inspired and on par! Fries are even better.”
Roger visited at the start of pandemic lockdown and found the team hustling hard, with diner-style burgers he compared favorably to In-N-Out and fries he liked even more.
