replying to u/desirepink: Can't believe they're still around. Are their burgers good? I remember they had a phase where they whored out their extravagant milkshakes and it was at the beginning of this whole food influencer crap.

replying to u/FastChampionship2628: Is it better than Shake Shack, Black Tap, JG Melon or PJ Clarke's? Seems like it would be that tier and it seems OP is looking for something one step up.
