I just went today.
Both the girl at the counter and the owner (Brian/Bryan?) was

I was the last one there today and I wasn't rushed at all, they started closing down but he told me to take my time. And that he wanted to make the best burger and to tell my friends. He was so friendly I didn't have the heart to tell him his burger was close to perfect, but not quite there.
Burger looked good and it was soooo close to an awesome burger.
House made bread, fresh beef, not overly cheesey and epic amounts of bacon.
My gripes about it were.
- Patty was too thin, couldn't be crusted and medium on the inside. the beef almost felt secondary to the condiments.
- This could be solved by a smaller bun, thus using the same meat to create a thicker patty.
- Fries weren't crisp. They needed a 2nd fry. But I like that they were thick cut and creamy soft on the inside.
- Too much ketchup and mustard.
- Patty was a touch on the lean side. Beef fat is essentially free. They need more fat in the patty. While it wasn't dry, it definitely wasn't like biting into a ground ribeye.
- A touch over seasoned. Could hold back on the salt because the bacon was very generous.
If they just used the same amount of beef, but changed the shape of the patty, they could really be epic.
I'd give it a 7/10.
Burger had soul, fresh ingredients really do speak for themselves here.
