Why We're Different
Grass Fed ● Pasture Raised ● Wild Caught
Naturally raised ingredients are higher quality, better tasting, more nutritious, and better for the world. Think of them as the valedictorians of the food world.
Thoughtfully Sourced Proteins
Grass-fed, wild-caught, pasture-raised — free of hormones, antibiotics, and nitrates. Every cut is hand-selected and sliced in-house for peak freshness.
Produce From the Farm
Handpicked daily from local farmers markets and grown within 150 miles. No sad, travel-weary veggies here — just crisp, ripe, in-season perfection.
Scratch Made In-House
From 32 dressings and sauces made with avocado or olive oil to sides, salads, and sliders — it's all crafted in our kitchen. Never from a bag, never from a freezer.
We only show 5-star reviews… because that's all we get
Our Wall of Fame
“The service is amazing. Super helpful and nice. All the sandwiches that I tried were yummy. Great little hidden gem.”
“Had the smash sliders and french dip sliders. Both were fantastic. Very friendly lady inside welcomed us in (I believe the owner). Would love to come back. Great little parking lot patio for seating.”
“Wow, the food is delicious and the ingredients are whole and fresh, so it makes sense. The place is very affordable and the crew here is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend the smash sliders, and the Armenian Scramble is to die for.”
“All the hype we seen on social media was 100% totally worth the trip over here. They have an amazing bacon breakfast burrito. Such delicious flavor. My wife says her French dip sliders were delicious as well.”
