Burger & Beer Joint

Awesome burgers, relaxed atmosphere, great music! Loved the fried Oreos in the Maroon 5 dessert. Ask for Brandon, he will take care of you. We will be back!

Taylor is an excellent server, makes dinning here a pleasure. Great burgers and beer@

Went in for lunch. A bit overpriced but it is at UTC mall so that’s part of it. The burgers were great and had a fairly decent selection of beers.

It’s all about the green bean French fries. Soooo good. Burgers were amazing as usual.

Ok, I know it’s bad, rating a place 5 stars for my first review, but it’s worth it! I have no idea how this place only has three stars! First off, the atmosphere is great, it looks like a 80’s underground basement for some reason, more rock n’ roll looking. The menu had a variety of fun options from «Freebird» to «Hey Jude», they were all song titles! That kept my interest! I had to get the Hey Jude burger because I love the beatles, so I had too! It was a ground chicken patty on a honey wheat bun! It was surprisingly soo good! I ate everything (as well as the amazing sweet potato fries). Our waitress was so sweet, her name was Lauren and she was on top of everything! Overall, I really enjoyed this place, and if you come to the Sarasota Mall sometime, I highly recommend this place for great atmosphere and burgers!

Came in at lunch time. Place was almost empty when we were seated. I recommend getting a good look at your server the first time you see him or her because you’re not going to see them again for the rest of your visit.
A couple came in after us and was seated directly next to us in this large totally empty restaurant. This approach to seating makes it easier for the server to ignore you.
We used the nice hostess as a life line to our server. If we had extra needy requests like «order our food» or «refill our drinks» then we could flag down our hostess to get our server. This system worked really well!!!
When the hostess tracked down our server she would show up with no sh*ts to give and take care of whatever we needed.
I cannot recommend this place for eating because the service was so bad. If you want to sit somewhere and watch TV this could be a good choice.
It’s too bad I cannot recommend because the food was pretty good.

Updating this review:
Went back with two friends from out of town on a Saturday night. We were surprised the place wasn’t more full. Sat on the patio as the music inside was too loud for a conversation.
Service was eons better than our first visit. We were greeted immediately, quick on getting our orders and food was out fast.
The meals were much tastier as well. We got the mini corn dogs for an appetizer and I had the jalapeño burger– yum! Again, great local beer selection. Only small complaint, the table on the patio where we sat was very dark once the sun set. There aren’t enough overhead lights and the waiter did not offer any umbrella lighting until we asked for assistance.
Overall, a much better experience and will be back!

While the food is very good, every time I go there the service seems to get worse. The waiters used to be friendly, but now it seems they just want to get you out of there as quickly as possible even though I tend to go when it is not busy.
Of note on my trip today was my waitress named Lauren. Had trouble remembering a very simple order and had to couple back after a few minutes to confirm what I wanted. Never asked me how my food was (which was overcooked), and never refilled my drink even when it was empty (thankfully a manager came by once so I got at least one refill). The only thing she did was was take my order and drop off the check. I did have to flag her down once so that I could lettuce and tomatoes with my burger. She did help people sitting at tables near me, but pretty much refused to help me at all.
No matter how good the food is, if the service continues to be this poor I find little reason to eat here when there are plenty of other great restaurants nearby.

To be honest I almost left before I was seated because of how long I waited. After about 10 minutes the hostess showed up from the back and looked surprised to see a patron. We had to ask her if we needed to see it ourselves and she did show us to a table.
Another ten minutes to be asked if we wanted drinks. Waiter was extremely friendly though a little aloof and I wasn’t sure if he was paying attention to our orders or not. Waited almost 30 minutes for the burger to confirm that he wasn’t paying attention, as more than half of the toppings on both my and my wife’s burger were missing.
Finished eating hoping to leave pretty quickly and couldn’t find the waiter anywhere. Another 25 at least after I was done for the check to show up. Understandable if they we’re busy but with (and I counted) five other tables in the whole place I was surprised that my server could hardly be found when I needed a refill of water, or even the condiments and toppings that were requested on both myself and my wife’s burger.
Yeah I don’t mind waiting if the food is going to knock my socks off. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The duck fat fries, which I have had many times before in other establishments, were dry and stale tasting. Ordered an American burger or something along those lines with bacon and cheese and subbed a wagyu beef patty. I have had this type of beef before and was disappointed when I had to ask my wife if she thought they used their regular Patty instead. Wagyu Beef is usually quite delicious and flavorful, due to the distinct marbling that comes from the process of it being raised. Bun was so stale that my wife didn’t eat it at all.
My real regret is that someone would try this type of beef and be so unimpressed that they would never try it again. Lettuce tomato and pickle were all missing from our burgers but certainly requested. Would have asked for them as it seems like that would be an easy fix however my food would’ve been stone cold by the time my waiter showed back up.
Usually I am pretty happy about eating at a mall. Generally that is a recipe for disaster and I steer clear. In this case however I was foolishly tempted by the fact that they specialize in burgers. With a half decent burger it would be in their best interest to specialize in customer service, which would make the subpar food at least a little bit more palatable.

Margaritas good. Bartender nice. Food took waaaaaay too long to come out. It’s only three active tables right now and took forever for two burgers. Geeze. Either they had to kill the cow, or they started cooking the burger frozen… Sigh. Once food came out, it was delicious. Onion rings were good. Burgers are a bit pricey in my opinion. They even have one for 24 bucks!!! Custom burgers aren’t cheap either. In any case, good meal. Service good. Food took too long– imagine on a busy day? Holy crap!

Best fried pickles — in town Matt our server is the man and the thunder road burger was everything onset the sun!!! The onion rings with the cheese dip with jalapeños were like kisses from the Angels dipped in honey from paradise!!!

I had the Mustang Sally and it was delicious. Ordered a Margarita (duh, Burger and BEER joint) and that was a mistake, it was one of the worst I’ve ever had but I was thirsty, it was hot and I was in the mood for one. Service was decent, food came out pretty fast, I’d go back.

This is definitely something different. If you are looking for the same boring burger joint with 6 of the same burger on the menu, this is not the place for you.
They have a menu with many different kinds of burgers
Turkey burgers
Veggie burgers
Chicken burgers
Bison burgers
Wagyu burgers…
Deep fried oreos and twinkies as well.
Beer is also on an extensive menu with many local choices available.
Overall the lunch hours seem a bit slow but well worth few mins wait. Love this place and will be back.

A
Nice sports bar atmosphere great place for you guys took a while for food to get delivered but The food tasted delicious

I came in and sat at the bar. Usually every restaurant that I go to because that usually eat alone I eat at the bar went with a friend today and we sat there for a good five minutes without even being acknowledge
I said hello to a person, their back was toward me
he did not even turn around, therefore, we got up and left the restaurant.
we went across the across to Kona Grill.
We were greeted with in about two seconds of our seating and asked if we would like a drink. Proceeded to have lunch there instead.

I returned recently and grabbed a burger for lunch. I sat at the bar and was well-​attended.
I ordered the Hotel California. Oh my, a real mess of deliciousness. I used about a dozen napkins and was glad I was eating alone. But if messiness equates with tastiness, this burger had it all. What is the line,
Medium rare was ordered and delivered.

Let me just say… Wow! My husband and I ate here tonight and were so impressed with not only the food, but the service. The beer on tap is SO cold, which is always a must when pairing it with a burger! I had the hotel California, which when I say it was literally the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth… I am NOT lying. The burger was cooked to perfection, and the indulgent toppings put it absolutely over the top. The manager was incredibly helpful, and friendly. Made sure that all of our needs were met. We went here without kids for our date night, but the atmosphere is totally somewhere children would be acceptable and go unnoticed!
(An infant and a 3 year old, we are always scouting out places we can and cannot bring them to!)
We will absolutely be back! And we will bring a crowd! Such a good experience!

Seem to be out of a lot of things here??? never told me specials threw burger in front of me was ok. Nothing special at all
One of the worst meals I have had here

We came here before and the service sucked! Thought we would give it another try and the service STILL SUCKED! Not gonna waste more time on this review.
If you wanna eat a meal within 3 hours, don’t come here!!!

3 stars for the atmosphere
This is a pretty hip joint in the UTC mall. Pretty cool atmosphere and a large beer selection. We had a couple of drinks, fish n chips, onion rings and the fried pickles. All were really good though that was ALOT of fried food. I minus a star for the prices and another star for noise.
