What to Order
Electric Burger + Fries
A juicy burger with perfectly cooked patties and a slight charbroiled taste, served with crisp fries.
"This was the definition of a "juicy burger", and not just because I was hungry, haha. Patties were cooked to perfection, with a slight bit of charbroiled taste to it. There was a crispiness (probably from the hickory sticks), but I almost could've sworn it was from bacon (which would've been welcome, but was extra). Fries were crisp."
Ting Chang
Flower Benny
A delicious take on Eggs Benedict, recommended by staff and a customer favorite.
"She recommended the flower Benny and it was delicious! Super great atmosphere with everything decked out in 80s decor."
Natalie Vidovich
Sticky Chicken & Waffles
One of three outstanding fried chicken dishes, featuring perfectly crispy and tender chicken.
"Three of us each tried a different meal with their fried chicken as the base: Sticky Chicken & Waffles; Classic Fried Chicken (add the bacon!); Revenge of the Birds - they were all outstanding! Perfectly done, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside."
Micheal Ostoforoff
Birria Breakfast Burrito
A very good breakfast burrito that uniquely includes tater tots inside.
"The Birria Breakfast Burrito (hold the cilantro) was very good as well - it has tater tots in it!"
Micheal Ostoforoff
Avocado Toast
A fantastic and satisfying option for those looking for a lighter, fresh meal.
"The Avocado toast was fantastic. The atmosphere was so fun to go down memory lane!"
Sarah Stevens
Cheesecake
A consistently popular dessert, especially noted as a hit during trivia nights.
"The Cheesecake is always a hit. Beers are flowing and Tuesdays are $5 off bottles of house wine or 9oz glasses for the price of 6oz."
