Picks:
Monster Burger ($11.95) has double the cheese and double the patty making it huge. A mound of nice meat maddness. Ran out of bun. Fries or Green Salad. The fries were good and plentiful. They ask you how you want the burger done.
Bacon Classic with Cheese ($9.50) came with a good sized patty and lots of bacon. Cooked to a perfect and juicy medium rare, this was a very good burger. Decent bun but not artisanal.
Patty Melt ($8.95) with melted Swiss on rye with grilled onions and thousand island dressing is another variation to serving their delicious burgers for those who like this style.
BBQ Pork Sandwich Tender Roasted and Shredded BBQ Pork on a Sesame Bun Served with House Made Cole Slaw ($9.95) was surprisingly decent. A ton of tender shredded pork and a reasonable BBQ sauce.
French Toast Deuces wild ($9.50) Two pieces of Challah French Toast, Two eggs, two pieces of bacon with whipped butter and syrup was a pretty good sized hearty meal at anytime of the day.
OK:
None
Pans:
None
