NOTES:

- $8.50 burger & fries + $1.00 Satan’s slaw = awesome

- I hope to still taste this burger after another 5 beers

- awesome jukebox

- interior reminds me of Vikings meet the Moors, needs a drawbridge

- my only disappointment was that the urinal wasn’t made of solid wood with metal straps & rivets

- putting Satan’s slaw on the burger added to the boldness score

- one of the best draft beer selections in San Diego

- very mellow at lunch, best time to eat burgers here

- smoky backyard bbq flavored meat, perfectly cooked

- nicely toasted & seasoned bun that holds it all together and lets you know they’re not messing around

- burger meat had a good flavor, but not exceptional

- looked spectacular, made me want to tear into it like a wild animal

- atmosphere is lively when there’s a good crowd

- good service and a dungeon / Indiana Jones decor
