This may or may not be better than Midtown Caboose burgers... it's debatable in our family. This restaurant is owned by the owners of Cypress - they know what they're doing.

This is right around the corner. I've been there with co-workers for lunch. It's a buffet style place, with electrical cords going across the floor, and low ceilings. Not my kind of place.
