Don't believe the hype. Locals know to go to Five Guys, BGR or Rays. This place is a rip off, a crime... A chef should know better. Spike is simply putting out cafeteria food to feed the masses.

This place is a the brainchild of Top Chef's persona Chef Spike. Overall the food is fairly good. The shakes are really good and the burgers are juicy. The fries used to be tremendous and crisp, but lately they have gotten sub-par. The Village Fries, once a staple have begun to be served soggy instead of the initial presentation when they first opened, crisp and loaded with spices. The assortment of free add-on mayos and dipping sauces are succulent and delicious, but the cost for two make the expectations higher than a 'burger joint' is able to deliver. The atmosphere is clustered with clean modern/retro appliances and ornamentation making it a pleasant dining experience, and the lines that form in order for the hipster/staffer/Hill dwelling clientele are well served by the staff. Expect a decent burger and go for the shakes. They're worth the extra few dollars on the bill if you're ready to shuck out a twenty for a burger, soda and fries.
