Fodor's "If you can't decide what kind of brew to wash it all down with, no worries: Order a flight of beers from their extensive bar." Full review
Frommer's "With a sleek and stylish decor, a very limited menu (you'd better like burgers), and one of the best selections of draft beers in the Valley, this is the ultimate ultrahip burger-and-beer joint." Full review
Lonely Planet "The mirrored walls, communal table and unisex bathrooms may scream ‘trendy, ’ but deep down this is just a postmodern patty-and-bun joint." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This chic yet informal burger joint (the design is heavy on stainless steel and glass) serves salads (the beet variety is particularly tasty) and sandwiches, but patrons really come for the cow." Full review
Zagat "The "beef is high quality", "the sweet potato fries are heavenly", the "beer selection is fabulous" and even the salads are "terrific"." Full review

Don't miss the roasted beet salad with glazed pecans and Maytag blue cheese, or the Delux burger infused with a mix of Maytag and Gruyère cheeses then topped with apple wood-smoked bacon, caramelized onions and arugula.
