Lots of different places to eat. Everything from pancakes to Peruvian. Would be hard to not find a place in here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try Krave for a really good burger. Can be a little crowded in the parking area but ultimately I have always found a place to park.

My brother was eager for us to try this new place and the burger that was “everything.” I'm not mega on burgers but for the sake if sibling time, I went for it.

If you are into mass variety of flavor options for burgers and hot dogs, this place is right for you.

For starters, it was very clean. The staff were very welcoming...however, a gentleman was awkwardly present but attempted to be helpful.

There was a hiccup with my sandwich and they were so helpful in rectifying it...going above and beyond.

We ordered:
BCB Burger: 1/4 lb Angus Beef Pattie, Bacon, Teri Mayo, American Cheese, Crispy Onions, Hoison BBQ Sauce

Chicago Chopper: All Beef Hot Dog, Diced Onions, Dill Pickle Slices, Roma Tomato Slices, Pepperoncini Peppers, Dijon Mustard

Dirty Dog: 100% Angus Beef, Bacon, Caramelized Onions, Pico de Gallo, Jalapenos, Tapatio Ketchup, Mayo, Cilantro

Cluckbanger Chicken Sandwich: Cripsy or Chicken, Sesame Seeds, Tangy Korean Glaze with a mild kick, Daikon & Green Onion Salad

House Fries & Seasoned Fries

Spicy Thai Peanut Umai Noodles: Spice level is up there. Flavor was amazing. Enough to share if you ordered additional items.

Tips:
If you prefer food to look similar to the picture, I would encourage you to tell them. The chicken sandwich was much different than the image by far. I nearly forgot it can with sesame seeds.

The seasoned fries were the group's favorite over the house fries.

The partial-booths have outlets for charging devices. This was an amazing addition and I wish more places would offer this...

The above are sold a la carte, $5 to make it a combo (see picture).

If in the area, it is definitely worth a try. They are transitioning ownership.

I hope you found this helpful and give this place a try...

It hasn't been the same since they closed down Captain Cream's a few decades back. Seriously, though, they have plenty of restaurants and shops here. It's been a while since they've redone the asphalt here, so the parking spaces are a bit of a mess. Many of the businesses in here are worth checking out, so come spend a little time and spend a little money. Your city needs your tax dollars, right?

The stupidity that went into allowing Starbucks to spill their drive thru lane into the parking lot so that it's blocked off makes it ridiculous to navigate in the lot. Maybe they pay extra, but no one is ever in that line to clog up the entire lot and mess up traffic.

Very busy shopping center... Parking can be difficult at times. Great food all around here though.

We tried to eat breakfast at IHOP, to say the least, it was not very good. Our eggs were cold on both plates. No toast was available. Only the croissants were available , we asked for crispy hashbrows, and they were barely cooked and cold. So, we didn't eat the eggs, hashbrowns, or the croissant, only good thing was the 2 pieces of bacon. I will find another place to eat breakfast from now on.
