The veggie burger hit the spot! I was able to add some delicious fixins' and in the end, it was comfort food with the perfect level of scrumptious. And the fries... OMG, they were the perfect addition. They must be double fried because the crispiness was off the chart. The service was beautiful, and the ambiance was just right. We were grateful for a vegetarian option. Thanks Burger Theory!

This was my second time eating at the restaurant and only my second night at the hotel and they’re both amazing. My absolute favorite thing about eating here has been Jodie she’s super nice super fun and just such a wonderful bartender and person. She was able to read my mind the first time I ate there and picked out the most perfect burger toppings that ended up being exactly what I wanted. She’s also very attentive and always kept my glass full whether it be water soda or an ice cold beer. The burgers are also delicious and the same with the onion rings. The burgers are large and juicy and the onion rings are honest to god the best I’ve ever had. All in all my experience with this place has been 10/10 for everything and I’m gonna be sad when I have to leave

Good food, open pretty late. Most burgers and dinners about 13. I had Ruben sandwich with fries, very good. I was there Wednesday night and there's a live trivia contest each Wed. Great service, very friendly and helpful. Update: I just happened to go back on another Wednesday night. They still have the Trivia Contest starting at 7pm. I had the Roast Beef sandwich with au jous to dip into. It was excellent. The service was again awesome. Another 5 star experience.

Such good food and the service was awesome. They were really working hard to create a great environment. So thankful that after a long day of driving we didn't have to go anywhere after checking in to get dinner. The servers were fantastic and a real team working together. Food was great quality and totally worth the wait. Love the environment too. So thankful this place is here. Jennifer and Glen great team!!! The menus in the room made it so easy to choose and the kids' menu was super helpful. Knowing they serve breakfast in the morning will make it so easy to just relax and get some R&R before heading out. Thank you guys. Can't even say how grateful we are. Edited next day: Came again for breakfast. A little bit of a wait but totally worth it. Kid eat free when staying at hotel and the food smells amazing. Service is fantastic just as it was last night.

Arrived about 7:15pm on a Friday evening. Wasn't too busy and was quite a peaceful atmosphere. Ordered a massive Double BT Boss 16oz burger with onion rings, order of house fries, a Lone Star burger with fries, and an order of Chips and Salsa. It was all super good, hot and fresh! Wait staff was amazing, friendly, and interactive. Definitely recommend! They also offer salads and sweet potato fries! At the time of this review they are running a 3 off promotional on the burger section of the menu! Restaurant is located next to the lobby of the Holiday Inn on the main floor.

While nostalgic eaters wait in their cars for 45 minutes next door, I was in a comfortable booth with a TV and the best burger I have ever had. Fries were in my top 10, onion rings were good, shrimp po'boy was nice to have. My friend was impressed with the available drafts. Highly recommend and be prepared to be wowed.
