"So this was a accidental find. We were on our way to Chicago and was just checking for local eats. We found Messers. This place was a 80s baby playground. The paintings on the walls and signage was all from a better time. The atmosphere and the waitress was awesome. The food was good but was your basic bar food. Coming through here again next year and will definetly be a stop on the way!!"

"these were five star tenderloins all the way. The tenderloins are about the same size as the buns. but good quality pork and all the fat and gristle has been trimmed away. the breaded tenderloin has a light crispy coating that doesn't overpower the pork. the grilled tenderloin was tender and moist. they have a good quality bun that doesn't fall apart when you eat it. tater tots for nice and crispy and the onion rings or perfect, thick rings of onion a nice crispy coating. the only downside was that they're still using styrofoam. normally I take a point off for using styrofoam when we could use something compostable."

"So very inclusive! They have gluten free buns as well as vegetarian options! The atmosphere is amazing between the murals, trinkets, games, and friendly staff. They have the best smash burger I’ve ever had! I highly recommend stopping in to have a bite to eat or pick up if you’re driving thru linden you will not regret it!"

"I brought my bestie and had to stop here because we had heard good things. I love the decor inside and out. It is an interesting looking place. See for yourself. I had the most tender and juicy tenderloin sandwich with onion rings which were the bomb! My buddy had the sliders and tots. Service and atmosphere were friendly. There is a bar and a pool table. Not wheelchair accessible."
