One of the better spots to get a galley boy. Service at this location is phenomenal. Kitchen was fast in making my order and a larger takeout order. I've heard the salty olive is supposed to be eaten first before taking a bite out of the savory and sweet burger. The burger patty itself has a unique flavor, and the tartar sauce / BBQ mix settles any doubts about its distinct taste. I usually get some potato teasers. PB & Grape shake should replace vanilla and chocolate as the standard shake flavor.
