    Everything I ordered came out the way I asked. Skinny spicy margarita w no sweetness - on point! Ordered a medium rare burger w well done french fries. Every. Single. Fry was well done and the burger was perfect! They do have delicious burgers w LTO and a nice sauce. It’s just enough to give it a very nice flavor wo making a complete mess while eating it. Finished off w milk and 4 chocolate chip cookies (warmed), minus the Milk. Waitress was attentive and sweet! 👍
