Go here to eat! Â Especially if you want a fantastic burger! Â I had the "Macho" (or "Mucho"?) with jalapenos, guac, cheese, tomatoes...YUM! Â Don't let the building throw you. Â It sits next door to a laundromat, and from the outside looks like a dive. Â Don't pass it by!
This place has great beers (although a chilled glass would have been nice), homemade lemonade, great fried pickles (a small was enough for three people to share as an app) and burgers cooked medium with a great variety of toppings.
The kids' menu is OK, but my picky eater opted for tortillas and queso ($4.99) and a grilled chicken breast (just $3.29 plain).
I would definitely eat here again. Â I only went this time after reviewing different Asheville restaurants. Â I would not have stopped in if I was just in the neighborhood and hungry.
The only reason it lacks a fifth star is the sides. Â Just like another reviewer stated, the potato wedges were burned. Â They were not good. Â The beet slaw, although very light, was fairly bland. Â Maybe another side would have been better.
I really wanted to like this place, as my son and his wife raved about it. I have to say, sadly, that I just don't get it. I ordered the Blackened Blue Burger, and was so very underwhelmed that I was ready to call it quits after the first two bites. I steeled myself and somehow managed to finish the whole burger and comment on how tasty it was just to spare my son's feelings. Â I don't know what kind of sauce they put on that Burger, but it was just plain gross. If there was bleu cheese on it, you could have fooled me. Â
The decor was okay,casual and funky much like Asheville itself. The service was friendly but a bit slow.
I think the problem with this place is that they are attempting to "fancy up" something that doesn't need to be fancied up...the American Burger. Someone needs to tell the cooks that sometimes combining 13 different ingredients doesn't always result in something tasty.
After all that, the bill was $75.00 for 4 burgers,two unimpressive appetizers and four beers. Thats just ridiculous for the quality of the food they serve. Unfortunately I won't be returning.
