Sort of get this, but you can get literally anything and everything you want on one of their dogs for one price (what is it, like $6? -- yeah, expensive for a hot dog, but they're not nickel and diming you to death).

At this burger joint you could conceivably build a $25 hamburger (though, I typically lean toward blackened out's mor minimalist philosophy with burgers).

It's more along the lines if the price and quality of the food that makes it a rip.
when you sit down to eat, the 4th best thing on your plate is the sausage. After the fries, toppings, & bun.

Gotta be this. If you're new and trying to break into a saturated market, wouldn't you want to be able to serve every interested customer?

Yeah I can't imagine that's good

I hope they put out good quality if they were running out of stuff already

It's two stories, looks like they have ample seating.

A friend went on saturday night, he was turned away. SMH. They posted on Facebook that they "appreciated the overwelming support and promised to be better prepared going forward."

Sid: I need to give Katie's another try. The only time I went, had a Tuna steak special. It was both expensive and not very good. Tuna was way over seasoned. Everyone seems to love it, I think I just ordered wrong.

Oops....That would change things.

We got roast beef po-boys. They were good. That's all I've ever really had from there.

So far the Yelp reviews have said the burgers are great but that wait times are less than desirable due to needing to iron out some kinks.

They were open on Sunday but had to close at 3 or 4 Bc they were out of food. I went yesterday for lunch and waited over a half hr for a burger. They were swamped.

Might be one of those things where you just have to wait a few weeks for them to work out the kinks. I don't agree with Fitzmorris that you need to wait 3 months, but a few weeks at least.

I am pretty curious myself. I pass it every day on my way home and it has been pretty crowded.

I was looking forward to trying the antelope, but I hear they're out of it.
