Customer Reviews

"It was OK. Burger was pretty bland, fried we're bland, under seasoned. The fry sauce was pretty tangy, not like other fry sauces I'm used to but it was ok. They seemed pretty overwhelmed inside and out of some menu items. Kids meal was a good deal ($6-7) regular burgers are pretty pricey ($13+). Milkshake was good and my server was kind."

- Rebecca

"Lots of different fried goodies. We had the jalapeno poppers, pork bites, and cheese curds. Not the biggest fan of the pork but it wasn't bad, the other two were wonderful. They have quite a few options for sandwiches and burgers. I even saw a chimichanga on their menu. To be honest though I was really there for the milkshakes. They do not disappoint! Almost any flavor you can think of, Plus lots of add-on candy bit options. We got a huckleberry one that was super smooth and creamy. Also an Irish cream one with butterfinger bits . Food was great and the (I'm thinking locally made) outdoor seating tables and very cool."

"I love the tall pine! They have been through a lot of changes over these last few years. I still love the food, but the wait time can get ridiculous. Servers are beyond friendly, but if you need a quick bite, I wouldn't recommend this place. If you are OK with a wait then it's an awesome spot!"

"Had to make a delivery in Pinehurst, so I got a Bacon Blu Burger w/tots for under $15. Two young ladies at the helm, and had a great attitude, made my burger the way I like, and the tots were fantastic!! Will be back again, thank you ladies! 5 Stars!!"

"Hi this was our turnaround spot on our bike ride from Roseland. We were glad for the great food! We even had a little ice cream "

- Karrie H.

"You spend a lot to get very little. We ordered chicken stripes, a kids' chicken stripe, and 2 mushroom Swiss burgers. The bill was over $50. Our meals came with tots or fries. With the 2 burgers, we got a handful of tots. With the kids' meal, there was maybe a pinch of fries. The tater tots was almost to overdone to eat. The burger only came with onion and tomato, had no ketchup or mustard, and was not offered any. It took over 20 mins to cook, so we didn't have much time to eat, and no, they were not busy. There was a miscommunication between the person taking the order and the person giving the order so I think it was just a pay back from that.k9fhln6 LLl0"
