We stopped in here for burger week and OOOOMMMMMGGGGGEEEEE this is definitely the place to be! From the service to the burger my experience here was amazing! Let me tell you about our server: -He had a great personality, was extremely personable and made us feel right at home, gave us great menu recommendations, gave us coupons to come back and was just simply great. I regret I don't remember his name (blame it on my age) but, I won't forget his face and will be requesting him the next time we go back. All servers could take a lesson out of his playbook because good service is hard to come by these days! Good servers is not the norm theses days but, our server was awesome! The food:The sever started us off with sweet & spicy pickles. I didn't really know what to expect but, the sweet & salty with the tangy with crunch is great combination. I enjoyed it so much that I've already begun looking online to see where I can get them from lol. Uncle Woody's Ragin Cajun was delicious and a great choice if you want to try something different from your traditional burgers. The bun was super light/fluffy and the perfect pairing the seasoned burger, onions, mushrooms and Cajun aioli. Hubby said the the Patty Melt was good but, would order grilled onions with it next time. So yeah.... go check it out if your in the mood for a burger. I'm going to go back for brunch next time.

I came for Sunday bottomless brunch. For $22, you get bottomless mimosas or bloody marys AND 1 entree. What a great deal! Service was great and you can definitely get your money's worth with the bottomless drinks. I ordered the Captain's Skillet and you get to choose how you like your eggs. I got them scrambled and it was a pretty hearty meal! My friend ordered a vegan burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was okay, but the fries were great. They close at 4pm, but everyone had left around 3pm. I would recommend this place for bottomless brunch since it's a great deal!

I would love to be able to review the food here but the truth is, I can't. I've tried to eat here- TWICE. Husband I stopped in one evening over the winter; walked in- the music was obnoxious and Oh SO LOUD. No one in the place except staff just hanging out. We were told they weren't open to the public that evening. Cool. No big deal. It was around Christmas so staff party maybe? We went back a couple of weeks ago. Plenty of customers in the place. Most were drinking but there were a few eating. When we asked about seating we were told they weren't currently serving food; just drinks. Huh!?!? We won't try again.

There were no servers, just two bartenders who ignored us while they made out with each other. There were a bunch of people sitting out on the patio without drinks, but the inside was empty. It looked like the place was under construction or maybe had been robbed. I'm not sure they were even open. We left after 15 minutes and no one noticed.

We visited here during Burger Week 2018 where I was immediately impressed by their $6 Drink Menu. We shared an order of the Bosco Bites ($6), warm pizza dough stuffed with melted mozzarella and served with marinara sauce. I could've used more cheese with these. I had Uncle Woody's Ragin' Cajun burger, which was topped with grilled mushrooms, onions, swiss cheese and cajun sauce on a toasted kaiser bun. The bottom got pretty soggy, so it was a little messy to eat. It was more of a vegetable-based patty, which generally isn't my favorite kind of veggie burger, but in this case, it was kind of a welcome break from all the black bean patties that were featured on most of the vegetarian Burger Week menus. My husband enjoyed his Roasted Veggie Flatbread ($8.50), and I appreciated the fact that it had a healthy amount of cheese, which you don't always see on a flatbread.

I came here and ordered a drink for me and my friend, they never gave me my drinks or my card back. They gave my card away to someone else who then used it to buy more drinks for themselves. The bartenders were clearly wasted, can't trust them with your card. The manager did refund me though. But now my card is gone.

WOOF - what an evening. After suffering through a particularly annoying night, my girlfriend, her friend, and a friend's boyfriend (NOT to be confused with being the boyfriend of the friend coming with us to Ladder) headed out late to Ladder. Grabbed two Coronas, unfortunately no fresh limes, just lime syrup randomly poured in there by an "attentive" bartender. Tried to pass the extra beer off to my gf, but she needed a water - iykyk, leaving me to polish off the remainder - for better or worse. Plenty other options to visit on Short Vine, just not willing to go back due to my trauma from the night. I still get night terrors.

It's fine for the younger crowd. But if you're over 30 not so much. We went for brunch at 10 AM Saturday morning And they were about 100 college kids drinking and partying and the music was so loud we had a shot across the table. Drinks were good, food was not. Everything was very cheap though. And the waitress was fast and friendly.
