Our concept is based around half-pound burgers with a wide variety of toppings,” said Kevin Hahn, one of four owners who also include his brother, Brian. “Our veggie burger is a homemade black bean and quinoa-based veggie patty.”
And each dish comes with a choice of six side options. “We also have an assortment of appetizers and salads to choose from,” Hahn said. “Each month we feature a new appetizer selection and a burger.”
