Serving the meanest burgers in town is this rock solid foundation on Front street. Right around the corner its Times, now one of two, where the crew on top of it all, makes any day or night right. Spot it right next to the train station in Slidell on front street and ask for the lovely Darby holding it down at the bar. We'll be sure to see her and the rest of this colorful cast now bringing the heat. Keep those boys in check Ms Darby. Im sure we'll be seeing you soon.

12-08-2020 Tuesday late lunch. This was my first time at this restaurant. The food was very good. I do not feel as if the portion of fries was large enough. The price was kind of expensive for the amount of food you received. “The recommendation I have is load the plate up with fries instead of flipping the burger in half to making it look like you got a larger portion.” I also did not care for the presentation of the food. The location appeared to be clean. The waitress was very polite and helpful. I would return to this location.

*I can not rate service & atmosphere as we ordered delivery.* The food though was absolutely TO DIE FOR. I got the burger since it was my 1st time eating here with lettuce, pickles & onions with coleslaw. The misses got the Shrimp Ranchero wrap with fries. Our food arrived still hot, filling our home with aroma that alerted even the pets. My burger was delicious, cooked as ordered & juicy on thick perfectly grilled slices of sourdough. The coleslaw was definitely not from a bag or commercially made. It instantly skyrocketed to #1 on the taste charts in my opinion. The 1 single bite I had to steal from my partners plate inspired me to get my own next time. The fries & dipping sauce also hit home runs with their efforts. Overall I will CERTAINLY return time & time again only in person this time. Kudos to this restaurant as well as their staff. Your customer, Troy PS: I forgot we got the onion rings which deserve honorable mention & they included plenty of condiments!

Holy Smokes, this is the place to be. Best buffalo wings and hands down best burger I have ever had! Katie was great and very helpful as well. 10 stars!

Great food, great service! For my first visit there I was very pleased. Their batter was a great texture and super flavorful on the mushrooms, doodads which are thin onion rings, and chicken sandwich (which was massive!). Our waiter was super friendly and patient with my daughter while she made her order with him and they have children's menus with crayons. They have handheld systems to input orders which makes everything 10 times faster so they really pump out the food during rush hour.

Are you hungry? Want a burger? Well this place can satisfy both those needs! Not to mention the taste is outstanding. But wait there is more, the desserts were outstanding! Great local food with great service! Jessie was outstanding!

The service here was decent. Food is hands down one of the most tasteful places around town. Drinks were ok at best. The atmosphere here is laid back, more of a lounge/sports bar feel.
