Wife and I went by there one day for lunch. Waaaaaaaaay too many hipsters in there for me. Yeah, I get it the frames are empty and you are only wearing them to be ironic or something.....ugh. On the plus side, I think it is a plus but can't be sure since I'm not in the market, if you were looking for a gold digger/arm candy there appeared to be plenty of potential applicants there.
Food was ok I guess, but overpriced. Burgers were Red Robinlike or Smashburgerish in taste I would say. I'd rather got to to Bill's, Claude's. Weber's, Brownie's, The Burger House on Edison, etc, etc, etc.....over this place.
Same thing to burgers as Los Cabos is to Mexican food....mostly almost edible, but not likely to be anything special.

Now see, you've made me have to go check this place out. And it had better live up to this review or I am going to be sorely disappointed.
reviews have been an overwhelming meh on Yelp

According to my hipster younger cousin these are the keys to success when hunting hipster girls:
Drive an Audi
Talk about traveling to places like Iceland, Vancouver or Turkey. Yeah, I know the Turkey one seems odd but he swears by it.
Wear either a trucker hat with some obnoxious logo/bling or a wool hat of any type.
Drive an Audi
If you are drinking beer don't order a PBR to drink, that is for hipster wannabees. If they have it, order a Hamm's.
If you are drinking alcohol order a Moscow Mule or some old school drink like a Harvey Wallbanger.
Drive an Audi
Say "I love this DJ" at least once every half hour.
Learn how to fake being a foodie.
Drive an Audi
Have well groomed facial hair that looks like you aren't attempting to groom it at all.
Lensless glasses
Drive an Audi
Keep your money in a money clip. Make sure at least a $50 dollar bill is showing, better if it is a $100 dollar bill. Show it often.
Use a credit card to pay for everything.

That was our take as well. My wife's exact words were "It was better than McDonald's on the turnpike."
I tried it last week and this place suffers two major problems:
1) Food: hamburgers were ok, but not worth the price. The fries were limp and the onion rings had a heavy batter than tasted like a frozen product.
2) Setup/service: it is set up so that you order at a counter and your food/beverages are delivered to your table. There is nothing obvious or intuitive about this when you walk in the place. It looks like a typical restaurant when you walk in with a bar on the side and a hostess station in front. However, when I tried to sit in a tall top table in the bar, I was told they couldn't take my order there, I had to go to the ordering area. It was only then that I saw the counter on the far side of the restaurant from the door. When you order your food, you also order dinks, including drinks from the bar, and pay for your order. Then they give you a card with a number on it that you hang from a pole on the table. What happens if you want a second drink from the bar - now you have a pay separately for each drink?
Too complicated and too much hassle for a pricey burger that was not any better than at least 3 other places in Brookside (not even counting Claud's or Weber's).

I usually pay for each drink as I get it to prevent sticker shock.

I am 100% in non-compliance. (Probably a good thing.)

I like me an old school drink.. can't go wrong with an old-fashinioned.
Harvey Wallbanger... That Galliano bottle at the bar isn't just for looks.

You got some ironic glass frames and a blingy trucker cap too? Audi?

Really?? They have got to be kidding...!!! Hamm's...!! Geez...there is NO hope for the planet at this point in time!! Do they go to "Build A Bear" to get a Hamm's bear 'passenger' to ride with them in the Audi, too...?? We got no 'sky blue waters' here! Wannabe posers.
"From the land of pines, lofty balsams..."
That's not even old school.... Schlitz would work, but Hamm's!!??? Again - Geez!!

Trucker hat and fake glasses? They should be drinking Pearl or Lone Star.
Me personally? I'll have a Stroh's.....
I recently had my first Kobe beef burger at a place recommended to me on a recent road trip, and while it was good, it's not something that I would look for. Too many local places around the country, mainly neighborhood sports bars, that have great burger and onion rings, and in a lot of places good local brewed beers.

Dont forget about the hipster odor...You must have that......

Sounds like another burger joint downtown.
"American Wagyu Kobe Beef" while tasty, is intellectually dishonest.

I assume there are different breeds of hipster. Dunno, I'll have to ask. I know most of the ones I see are wearing Pork Pie hats.....which I didn't even know the name of until I asked one of them what the hell was on his head.

Apparently Hamm's is now the ironic beer of choice. PBR became too mainstream.

Really? You must be in that mid-window...too young to have experienced "Popeye" Doyle, but too old to be a hipster. Also, see Buster Keaton, Art Carney.

Wasn't meaning to pry....just saying you fall in that middle ground....porkpie's have been around a long, long time....shows how old I am - I remember all of the above...plus a whole lot more!

Hamms has only one redeeming quality: the cute cartoon bear
(http://twinstrivia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hamms-bear2.jpg)
I think one of these places is moving into that new mall over by me (in front of Lifetime Fitness). If you haven't seen this shopping area, it looks pretty good.
The signs are up, so seems a good chance.
And yes, bonus points for better architectural work on that center, but it's set back so far from the road I'm sure something crappier will block it.
