- burgersWe visit this restaurant relatively often because the burgers are generally pretty good. However, the reason for the two-star rating is that the experience is hit or miss, and the milkshakes are always a miss.
- burgerMy experience at this local place was fantastic! I had a GREAT burger and fries. I have never had a bad burger from Bent.
- foodThe food was prepared ridiculously fast
- friesThe meat crumbled with every bite, and the sauce provided a delightful surprise. The fries were decent, and the staff member was attentive, providing the right amount of ketchup. Having seen many restaurants come and go in this location, I truly hope Bent Burger is here to stay.

- serviceOur experience was good, but they closed at 3 PM, which meant we couldn't refill our drinks or dump our trash. The food was good, but the early closing time impacted our ability to fully enjoy the service and atmosphere.
- closing timeGoogle says they close at 7 but i tried to enter at 645
- customer servicethe customer service was horrible
- OPEN signmake sure your OPEN sign is ON when working!
- announce ordersIf you dead name someone and their reaction is shock and tears like mine, issue a refund. I'm not sure I'll return unless the policy in which you announce orders changes. I ask other trans folk who've not been able to get documents updated / haven't had a name change to be aware that this can/will happen here.
- attentionThe worst attention I’ve ever received
- business hoursGoogle Maps had the business open until 7pm. However, at 4:20pm, they were quite closed.

Ambience (7.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 41% of the guests
When it comes to the vibe, this spot generally hits the mark with a 7.1 score and a solid 75% customer satisfaction! Many of the 36 positive remarks rave about the fun superhero theme and comic book interior design, creating a cool spot with a great atmosphere. Guests particularly love the outdoor seating area and patio for a chill experience.
However, its not all capes and comic books. A few of the 8 negative comments point to some significant issues, including concerns about "restaurant cleanliness" and even "ants on counter. " Some also noted the limited "Dining space" and only "two tables inside, " which can be a drawback if youre looking for ample indoor seating.

Ants and Unsanitary Practices
My experience at this restaurant was concerning due to the presence of ants on the counter. When I informed a worker, they did nothing to address the issue. They continued to prepare food while wearing gloves but without washing their hands, which was quite unsettling.

Closed Early, Overpriced Food
I had an experience where Google stated the restaurant closes at 7 PM, but upon trying to enter at 6: 45 PM for a to-go order, the doors were locked. I could hear music and see people inside. Additionally, I found the establishment to be way overpriced for what you get.

Great Burgers and Kid-Friendly Spot
This is a cool place near Seward Park with very hospitable and nice staff. I really enjoyed their Superman burger and their special burger. They also offer a kids meal and are very understanding of how picky children can be.
They provide a plain burger kids meal option, allowing you to add any veggies or sauces your child prefers. This made the dining experience much happier for everyone, lol.
