I ordered half an order of nachos...was very impressed with fresh fried tortilla chips, so cheesy! Great with the crisp lettuce topper and added sour cream and salsa. All of this for less than $8! Great value! Burgers at this place are great! Wouldn't hesitate getting either. They also serve broasted chicken. If you haven't had it, you really should try it!

We went for a late dinner. Restaurant was full but not crowded. The lighting was just right, many offerings on the menu. I ordered the tater tots that had cheese & bacon since I wasn't terribly hungry. The tots were crispy and delicious, the bacon was cooked crispy. They had liquid cheese that was OK, but I'm not a big fan of the liquid cheese. I did have a bite of Hubby's mushroom swiss burger. The burger was delicious and if I go back, I'll be ordering the olive burger. Hubby thought mushroom swiss burger was good, but thought the bun dried it out. It was loaded with mushroom & swiss cheese. Was very obvious it was hand pattied, not a frozen patty-bonus for the real hamburger patty! The young man that served us was quick, attentive. He kept our drinks full, was friendly & engaging.
One of the best olive burgers I have had! Great sweet potato fries as well. I am gluten intolerant and my daughter-in-law is celiac so I love a place where we can both eat. She had the corn shell tacos which she said were very good, and I brought my own GF bun for my olive burger. Heads up... they do not have a dedicated fryer for GF fries or tots.
Food was fantastic and it isn’t badly priced. The servers are very attentive for a takeout order which was greatly appreciated!
Clean, peaceful atmosphere. Burgers are definitely a bang for your buck and they have great appetizers. Bathrooms are nice too!
I came here with the cute girl this afternoon for an early dinner. We got to choose exactly where we wanted to sit. We chose a booth in the back near the pool table. The waitress was friendly and quickly brought us drinks and took our order. I ordered the western burger. Being the burger enthusiast that I am, I expect great things. I'm very strict with my burger criticism and what goes down the ole hatch. The cute girl ordered the bacon cheeseburger. We both got beer-battered fries with our order, with honey mustard to boot. That combo is god tier! The food came quickly, as it wasn't too packed yet with people. The burger looked gorgeous, head to toe deliciousness, alluring to the eye with an accompaniment of beer-battered potato goodness. The burger was fresh and the toppings, not overwhelming, but combined together equaled a fantastic and unforgettable meal. The bun was soft like a mother's touch, hypnotic to the point of ecstasy. The fries were in abundance and the honey mustard sauce was a naughty little combo. It's important to note the cute girl and I are both root beer snobs. That was our drink of choice for the night, and it was incredibly tasty. We finished our meals and ordered two peanut butter cakes to go. Let me tell you, if you've never felt the tender touch of someone's loving embrace, then this is the cake for you. She's a thicc girl, but don't let her intimidate you; she's the one, and you know that tonight is the night. The frosting flirts with you seductively, edging you closer with each bite. The peanut butter dances on the precipice of overwhelming, but never dips a toe in that water. It's perhaps the best dessert in Saint Johns. Overall, I rate our experience highly. Addendum 3/25/25 Still the best there is in Saint Johns and our favorite place to go overall!!
Very nice waitress that got our drinks and order in within 3 minutes of being seated. They have the Club Keno lottery going on 3 of the 6 TV's. The fries were delicious an they have a great rubin. Overall, a nice local restaurant in town.
A local favorite. I am never disappointed. No matter how busy they are, the service is always exceptional and the food is delicious!
Super glad I decided to go here for dinner today! Great burgers at great prices! They even had some unique options. My buddy had a burger with peanut butter and jelly on it. I thought it was funny but he really liked it! The waitress was awesome! She was really kind and did a great job. The fresh chips are great and so are the beer battered fries! Love it!
We stopped in within an hour of closing while visiting which is sometimes dangerous. Not in this case, we were greeted with smiles, recommendations and fresh delicious food. My picture isn't doing it justice but I'm telling you, if you like peanut butter.... Try the Scotty!!! I've had other PO peanut butter burgers but this was so unique with an actual pb& jelly spread of sorts. The Island Saute was no slouch either. And beer battered fries... Who does that?! That do... And they do them well! Will definitely be back any time we're in the area!
