Not too busy between 6 and 7:30pm on a Friday night, though it was getting more rowdy by the time I left. FYI, you order at the bar.
I got The American - 4 stars. It was quite juicy, soft, and flavorful. I also tried a cider that was sharp. While the food was good, this place just wasn't really my scene (sports bar, a bit loud when crowded). -

Went back because they've updated the burgs and I thought maybe they had corrected some shortcomings. Sadly not.
Buns are still untoasted and due to the incredible amount of sloppy sauce, it falls apart midway through.
The folks behind DL Chicken are cooking things now and while they may know a thing or two about chicken, they have a lot to learn about burgers.
Their merch sauce is quite runny and so when they dump it all over their burger it quickly destroys the bun. The patty is overworked and ends up being a bit tough. And they use pretty mild cheddar, so you'll be forgiven for thinking they forgot the cheese like I did.
The fries, however, were amazing. And a good value with a huge basket for $4. A table nearby ordered the onion rings and they too looked excellent. Go figure, the folks behind fried chicken know how to fry things.
Too bad they can't make a burger. -

Huge fan of the monarch burger, and anything campangnolo puts out, so was excited to see what the downlow burger was all about. Huge disappointment. Burger was overcooked and just not very exciting. Had 'the American' which is their take on the Big Mac. Side of onion rings was literally dripping in grease and couldn't eat more than two rings. Swing and a miss.

Not going to lie but I'm highly disappointed with this place. First off the service is terrible. Right when I walked in I went up to the bartender and told her it was my first time here as I wasn't too sure if we seat ourselves or wait ... and after staring at her for a good minute she finally acknowledged me and told me in a rude manner to seat myself and basically gave one menu to me even though she saw me walk in with 5 other people. Once we received our food, there were zero plates given and only given once I asked ... which were styrofoam plates. After spending $15 on just a burger and driving all the way from delta to specifically come here, I expected much better service. You could taste more of the bread than the actual burger, and it was absolutely drenched in sauce. Bottom line terrible service and don't let their instagram pictures fool you.
