I went to the one here by Loyola and thought it looked a bit pricey. At least the *amount* of the food was solid for the price. That said, it wasn't my favorite food ever, but would be willing to give it another try.

Good burgers, but also a top hotspot for those who want the feeling of enjoying their meal in a retirement home too.

I tried this place for the first time today. I got a double with cheese, mushrooms and jalapeno's and a regular order of fries. It was good eats, but for the same $8.86, I would rather get 2 sandwiches and some waffle fries from Chick-Fil-A any day of the week.

The Varsity, in ATL, was the she-ot when I ate there during the Olympics. Phenominal burger and onion rings, its a shame i let it loose on my family's brick in Centennial Park (the day of the bombing)...

5 guys fries are the truth, but the burgers are grossly overpriced for what you recieve in return.

Yeah I've been here 2 months now and am already seeing the light. I order some fries a couple times a week and go to Times Grill or Chik-Fil-A (Golfer, other Jax cats on here know) and my belly and wallet feel better.

They are overpriced but the fries are for real, and I can deal without all the hoopla from the help.
