In Short – Fluorescent turquoise tables and big, red bench seats trimmed in a luminous shade of lime capture the Warholian spirit of this place. Even the food itself--good ol' burgers, hot dogs and shakes--appears to glow, thanks to a spotlight directed at every table. – Burgers and all-beef hot dogs are made with all-natural Niman Ranch meat, and only free-range chicken breasts make it into the sandwiches. Garden burgers and hot dogs are also available.

Do NOT waste your time!! YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED!!
by ALeUH
This place is absolutely awful!!! I usually go to Big Mouth but I was kinda on a date & the guy I was with was craving a burger & I thought this place would have a little more hustle & bustle inside. I was wrong! It was about 9:00 PM on a Saturday & two other people were in there. Needless to say after we received our meals & I took my first bite I was definitely embarrassed for suggesting this place!! About halfway into our meal my date asked, “What would you give this burger on a scale of 1-10?” I said a 2! He replies with, “Ya, that sounds about right.”
The paddies on the burger were about 1 centimeter thick & just downright gross!! I ordered what was supposed to be a mini burger which looked pretty much the same size as his “regular burger.” Along with two fries (that had an odd texture to them like they were deep fried in the wrong oil or something) & no drinks our bill came out to almost $18 dollars!! If you want a good burger do not waste your time or money with this place, I assure you, YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED!!
I guess that is what I get for cheating on Big Mouth when they have never let me down once.. I assure you I will never be swayed against the mighty Big Mouth Burger again!!

Great Burgers
by JamesSF
I didn't realize how great the burgers here are, until I tried a couple other burger places, and realized how superior they really are.

Worst Burgers in Town
by jeromeez
I went there with my girlfriend one night and we rdered 2 well done cheeseburgers. I took a bite of of the burger and it was soft and red in the middle. I then had them re cook the burger and it was the exact same. Red and bloody. I will never eat here again and would never reccomened this place to anyone.
- Pros: none
- Cons: undercooked hamburgers
