Amazing Burger, Great Value!
While in town for Dreamforce, my co-worker and I were craving something substantial after a week of small artisanal foods. We were staying at the Hilton Financial District right next door and decided to google for a place nearby. Our experience was fantastic! We enjoyed an amazing burger and a good milkshake. The price can’t be beat, making it an excellent value. I highly recommend stopping by! This is the perfect restaurant when you want great food with no frills. It was just what we needed!

Absolutely Slappin' Burgers!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely incredible! The burgers were amazing, so good that fries were not even needed for this experience. They were hands down slappin'. After a bit of a rough start, I ordered some, and they were to die for. I recommend asking for seasoning. 🤘

Great Burger Stand with Delicious Fries
I discovered this place during a neighborhood walk and decided to return the next day for lunch on a Sunday. I ordered a double cheeseburger with mustard, pickle, and onion, as that's my preference. I also opted to add lettuce and tomato, which was a pleasant change. The burger was really good! Be prepared, as the double burger is quite tall; I found it easier to cut mine in half. My dining companion shared some fries, which were delicious with seasoned salt. This is a no-frills burger stand that excels at what it does, particularly the burgers and fries. I regret not trying a shake, as I didn't have room but wished I had.

Best Burger Experience!
I was looking for a family lunch spot and found this place. The prices were pretty good, around $10 for a burger. While the guy taking our order was a bit hard to hear, the food arrived in about 15 minutes. The burger itself was one of the best burgers I’ve had.

Great Burger, Not a Tourist Trap!
Thank goodness this place isn't a tourist trap, especially considering its location in a very touristy area. The prices were great, and the two young guys working were friendly, not having any attitude. They even let everyone use the restroom before confirming they were customers. We've tried burgers all over the world, from greasy fast food to upscale hotel lobbies, and Columbus Burger was a home run! The fries were perfect – not limp, greasy, or overseasoned. The burgers were just as good! While it might not be the 'OMG the best in the world, ' it's certainly not a ripoff, and we didn't experience any tourist apathy.

Terrible Service, Missing Items
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I ordered fries and did not receive them. The worker was barely speaking English, and when I called to get a refund for the fries, he told me there were no fries and hung up in my face. I also ordered water and did not receive that either. The service was really bad; it felt like they were doing me a favor by selling me a burger. Overall, a very negative experience due to poor service and missing items.

Disappointing Burger Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food. I had one of the worst burgers I’ve ever encountered. The bun was not grilled or warmed at all; it was cold and stale. The burger itself also felt cold. I cannot recommend this dish.

Got Very Sick - Be Careful!
My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately very negative. I ate there and subsequently got very sick. I urge people to be careful where they are eating. While the Service and Atmosphere received a perfect score of 5, the Food quality was extremely poor, scoring a 1. This led to a very unpleasant and concerning outcome.

Delicious Burgers, Worth the Wait!
My experience at this small, unassuming restaurant was fantastic. The burgers and fries were very, very good. It's important to note that this is not fast food; it will take time to cook your order, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The price is relatively cheap considering the big portion and high quality of the food. The staff were friendly, and the place was clean and quiet, with everyone enjoying their meal. It can get busy once all the nearby restaurants close. I also really enjoyed the milkshakes.

Simple, Honest Burger Delight
My experience at the restaurant was centered around a simple honest burger, plain and simple. It was good, and I was 😊 happy.
