"Driving along 22 I always see a billboard for this place. The burger on the billboard is very enticing and decided on my day out why not finally give it a try. The billboard does not lie either, it's just a right at the next light and you are there. Pulling in I was a bit surprised by the location. Right on the corner at the end of the road. The parking lot is a bit wonky, but there appears to be enough parking. This also shares with a beer to go/pizza place. Walking in this place you feel like you are in a bar more than a restaurant. The bar takes up a good portion of the space with tables of both high top variety and low top variety around the area. I decided to sit at the bar as to not take up a table since I was there by myself. While sitting there for a few minutes I took in my surroundings. You can tell that this a beloved local establishment. As I sat there a multitude of people came in. Some to chat, some to pick up an order they called in for dinner that night, some to have a meal. But each time this happened, a conversation would start with someone already inside. It was a bit amusing. I was given a menu to look over and placed my drink order. One thing that I didn't care for was the automatic placing of popcorn in front of you. Due to allergies I cannot have corn, so it was like a big tease to me, even though I shook my head no and had my hand up, it was still placed in front of me. Time came and I placed my order. I went with the Backyard BBQ Burger. The description of this goes: A juicy burger smothered in barbeque sauce and topped with crispy onion rings. When I say they weren't lying, they weren't lying. This thing came out and it truly was smothered in barbecue sauce. I'm not complaining there as the sauce has a nice hint of spice and, in all honesty, was what I was looking for. The onion rings were in fact crispy which gave it a nice textural component. Very satisfying. It's also great that the burgers come from a local butcher and is 100% grass fed. The burgers come with potato chips and a pickle spear. Or you could do like I did and upgrade it to hand cut fries. Those fries were amazing. Reminded me of when you just fry up some potatoes at home. A nice crunch on the outside and nice potato-y inside. Service was top notch and I would definitely stop in again. They also have six packs to go. Big screen televisions."
