A guy in my English class was talking about that place this morning. He says it's WAY better than In n' Out. I told him to get the **** out, but he still says it's the best ever. I need to try it.

I haven't been by there yet. It's right across from Sunsplash and Tahoe Joe's, right?

Been there, I wouldn't get that excitied about the place. The burger was good, but they couldn't get the meat cooked correctly. We (three of us) all ordered medium well and we all received various ranges of not medium well. My opinion is that it's just another fancy burger place. I'd rather go to In&Out or if I really feel like clogging my arteries I'll go to Nubbins on Washington in Roseville.

I've been there once, and it was good, but expensive for a burger. A cheeseburger with bacon was something like $9.50, fries not included.

Been there once. Typical long wait for a Roseville restaraunt ~1 hour. Mixed review of the food. Chicken sandwich was very bland, but the cheese fries and chocolate shake were pretty good and the Carnitas tacos w/cilantro & lime absolutely kicked ***!
