Cute little spot for a casual meal in Watkinsville. We stopped here on a whim after doing some shopping in town and were pleasantly surprised. Everything on the menu and coming from the kitchen looked good. The thick burgers are huge. I prefer a medium rare burger and mine was cooked nicely; however, my partner who ordered their burger as medium rare at the same time had theirs come out medium well to well done, so seems it can be a bit inconsistent. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant very cute inside as well. Overall it was a pleasant visit and we would try it again so would recommend for a lowkey lunch.
Small business is great environment and good food.service is very good!love the cod fish and chips.
Just ate here for the first time and it was awesome!! Dog friendly too! We will be back again for sure.
Great little restaurant. My wife and I had two different burgers over there, and they were both great. We ordered well done and medium well and both burgers were cooked as we wanted and they were both juicy and delicious inside. The buns were fresh and they both had generous amounts of cheese. We will be stopping back whenever we're in this area.
Have been twice, the Hobo Burger is FANTASTIC. COOKED ON A FLAT TOP CREATS A CRUST THAT KEEPS THE BURGER MOIST. Service is good, it is self serve. The ambiance is great, the theme is being a Hobo (someone that hopped a Train) to get from one point to another.
