The burger and animal fries were delicious. I had the NADC burger, fries and one cocktail and my bill was over 55.00. As mentioned the food was good but that much money is insane.

Came here for the burger and the burger delivered. We were able to walk in and get a table for 2 right away on a Saturday during lunch. The vibes are excellent and the service was fast and hospitable. Would definitely come back again. I also liked the touch of the menu being on a VHS case.
