Oh yes, since it's a restaurant, I'll say the burgers are good, and the ice cream is great (and to be transparent, he comped my friends and me ice cream when I said I wanted to write this blog post.). And the owners are super friendly. I'm embarrassed to say that they've been open for a year as of yesterday. Sometimes you miss what's right in front of you.
