S&B’s Burger Joint

I thought after the first time eating here that I would never be back. Well, several months later here I am. Im all about second chances. What a waste. Great concept. And this town is desperate for something fresh. Fail. Service was poor. My waiter very absent minded. For the prices I really expected more. When I dine out and pay 40 dollars for two burgers I expect something I can’t make for myself at home. Appetizers were the highlight and, sadly, they were very ordinary. In my opinion… don’t waste your money here. Very sad.

Went on a Saturday around lunch time, had a 20 minute wait which was reasonable for the time. Got the HUGE and delicious avocado turkey burger, well worth the 8.00! Fried onions inside a toasted bun was unusual, but they offer grilled onions as a substitution, which I will definitely get next time. The interior decorations inside was ON POINT! Our waitress was nice. Can’t wait to visit again!

They have a nice variety of Bloody Mary ‘s and other specialty drinks. I had the bloody jerky and it was very good. Just had appetizers and not a regular meal. Bar service was a bit slow and hard to get someone’s attention for drinks or food. All in all would recommend.

Food is decent but overpriced. Staff is alright. It pains me that one would even have to pay for mayo and ketchup. Across the street at Chilis they have just as good of bacon cheeseburger for a cheaper price.

The interior of this place is covered in classic rock memorabilia, so it really has a pretty cool vibe to it. The table tops are each covered with album art from various old rock records. The only problem I have with the atmosphere is the music can get a bit loud for a sit down/​dining restaurant. It’s difficult to talk sometimes and I feel like they are trying to do a bar vibe rather than a restaurant.
The food here is really good. I’ve had 3 different burgers and each one has been really good. The fries are great and usually you get a generous portion. They also have several good appetizers. They also have a full bar with quite a few good beers on draft.
However you do pay quite a bit if you want both a burger and some fries. For most of their burgers you will pay 8.50 plus another 2.00 if you want fries with that. If you and your date both get drinks (soda/​tea) you’re looking at over $ 30 with tip. Kinda high for burgers IMO.
My suggestion would be to come on happy hour or on a weekday when they might have a special you’d like.
Service here is hit and miss. I’ve had 2 good servers and 2 bad. I guess it really depends on the day. One of the times my order was made wrong and the manager was quick to take care of it for me.
Overall I’d recommend this place. It has a cool vibe and some pretty good burgers. The only real negative is the price and maybe I’m just cheap!

I always sit at the bar anywhere I go. .service was great. .I’ve seen Haley and Elizabeth? Both did a great job. Always good music. Every time I go I see a srv video. .nice build your own burger menu. .I love this place

Down visiting SIU for the open house/​tour for my daughter. Stopped at the mall and ate here, really good juicy burgers with creative toppings etc
Solid place. My 5^th star is for the Rock and Roll theme and great nostalgic music videos playing throughout the bar and restaurant. Felt like my phone was plugged into their system. Could have sat there for hours listening. Good food, good music. About the only place in the mall, but worth it.

I want to give more stars, since it’s a really fun concept restaurant, but I just can’t. Every time I’ve been here, something hasn’t gone right.
The turkey burger I got just the other day was burnt and dry. The only redeeming factor was it has decent flavor — it’s not a bland turkey burger, by far. This time felt like I was chewing on sawdust though. The fries, however, came out crisp and hot. I really enjoy their fries there — they have great flavor.
Most of the times I’ve gone, we’ve had issues with service. We’ve been forgotten once sat, had significant issues with paying and receiving change back (one server gave me $ 10 too much back and I had to count with her), and other times we’ve just been neglected. After eating one day, we stayed around to get drinks and chat, but the server didn’t drop by once. We had to flag a new server to get more drinks.
Honestly, it’s expensive (they don’t do combos — pay for your burger and fries separately and at full price) and the poor service we’ve gotten makes me avoid it. Just not worth the headache.

Great food, more of a rock and roll atmosphere. Clean and super nice staff. Located in a shopping mall but accessible to the outside; convenience and great food.
