We tried out this Bar & Grill one day for Lunch based on my Son's choice, as he work's nearby.

It was around noon, & the place was nearly empty, it's a big, huge Beautiful Bar, with a lot of scantily dressed, pretty Waitresses, we ordered, a couple of what they call, American Soldier Burgers: $9.99

All Burgers are cooked medium well, unless otherwise specified, w/pickle fries, we also ordered 1 of the Pulled Pork Sandwiches: $10.99 w/slaw & Fries.

The Burgers are big, & look great, very nice presentation, & bright & Fresh looking Lettuce, tomato & Onion, the Am. Soldier burger is served with American Cheese.

The Burgers did not taste as good as they looked, these appeared to be frozen from a pre-packaged box, they were good if they were, but still right around average taste for these type of burgers, the bun was big & good, it did not fall apart, which for me is a big plus.

But this Burger is nothing special, just average at best, & if your out late or want quick bite for lunch, I guess it would be ok to get, but instead, I would order the Pulled Pork Sandwich, it was very good & much better than the Burger, the slaw was very good & so were the fries, if I ever came back, I would get the Pork sandwich & try some appetizers, but the Burger is just to overpriced & expensive to begin with, to just be of average taste & quality, no more to write or discuss here, we all agreed on these findings.

Final Thoughts: very average Burger, go elsewhere & check out our list's for something better, this one is on par with Toot's, Chicago Gyros Burgers & Gas Light Cafe.

Final Rating: 5.5*

Next Tasty Review: Quatman's Cafe Located in Norwood, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Food Definitions!

Hand-Made- made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality.
Made to Order- specially made according to a customer's specifications.
Char-Grilled- grill (food, typically meat or fish) quickly at a high heat.
Medium Well- Mostly gray-brown throughout, but with a hint of pale pink inside. Good for someone who wants an ever-so-slightly juicy Meat, but detests any sign of "blood" in their meat.

Medium- A more pronounced band of pink in the middle of the Meat. However, there should still be slightly more gray-brown than pink coloration.

Well done- Grayish-brown with no sign of pink, usually slightly charred on the outside. Cooking a good meat to this level of doneness is a challenge. It has to be done slowly on low heat, or else you end up with shoe leather.

Pre-Made Frozen Patty - This is not 100% real beef, it's just that a piece of whatever, that comes Pre-made up in a Patty and Frozen in a box of a Dozen or more, not real beef, some can be good, but most are not.
