FAQ image

do you have vegetarian or gluten free options?

vegetarian options: no. even if you only ordered fries or onion rings we cook them in beef tallow so if you're a vegetarian, we are not a good option for you.

gluten free: absolutely! you can order your burger lettuce wrapped making it gluten free. if you want a gluten free side go with with classic fries as they are the only gluten free option for our sides.

What goes on your burgers?

2 Fresh all beef patties ( 1 for the single burger ), 2 slices of American cheese ( 1 for the single burger ), tomato, lettuce, grilled onions on a lightly toasted brioche bun with our in house burger sauce.

Note: we only use our in house sauce on our burgers, so if you do not like our sauce just order no sauce and we have ketchup, mayo and mustard packets available.

What is the turn around time on call in and online orders?

If you order online, the standard lead time is 15 minutes unless you place the order for a later time. We try to adhere to this standard the best we can however, during rush hours ( typically 11am to 1pm and 4pm to 6pm ), your order may take a little longer to prepare.

For call in orders we will ask you your expected time of arrival and try our best to have it ready at that time but once again, if it is during rush hours, it may take a little longer. Also, if you call in, we do not require payment upfront however we do ask that you try and arrive close to the agreed upon time.

What do you cook your sides in?

We cook all of our sides in beef tallow and do not use seed oils in any of our cooking processes however there are some seed oils in some of the items we purchase for consumption such as mayonnaise.

How is your lemonade made?

We quarter a fresh lemon, squeeze the juice out, add your choice of flavor ( The brand we use is monin), then add 3 teaspoons of sugar ( or more or less per your request ), then add filtered water ( we've tested the filtered water for 21 different impurities and have confirmed they are being filtered out ) and ice, then serve it up to you fresh and cold!
