4.6 / 5.0(3,089 reviews)
Melo was funny and very entertaining and gave great customer service. The food was decent. We had wings to share which were nice, not great, too small. The burger was huge and you need to share! Place looks great and cool vibe Definitely worth a visit The atmosphere is so fun and chill with a very garden like outdoor patio vibe, depite being indoors. We were expecting maybe bar quality food. SOOOOO much better! Got one vegan pizza which was actually amazing by my American vegan standards and I was told the omni pizza was also awesome. Chef brought out some hot wings to table for fun, he was working on new recipe and wanted to share. My partner said they were fantastic. Service is intentionally crass and rude, as the name of the business and menu items alludes to. Still spot on great service, despite the "attitude", lol It's like two great restaurants in one, with separate menus for burgers and pizzas. Sharing both was definitely the way to go! The burger is massive and won't disappoint in size or flavour, and the pizza was excellent too. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and portions make it worth it. Good food, with a spice of service.

Really a rare and unique experience. Burgers are delicious, cocktails are great, pizzas are fantastic. Personally wasn't a fan of the smoky BBQ sauce on the pizza but that was the only detractor. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a bit... Different

Be warned this is SA’s version of Karen’s diner. Its a must go. I mean the service is terribly terrific. Go with a sense of humor. But the food is actually crazy good. Massive portions and incredible, taste flavors everything is amazing. Its really good. I will go again any day.
