    We just had a very enjoyable meal at Aftermath. Kamryn was our server and she was excellent. She was attentive and gave us great input on our order choices. We enjoyed everything from the brussel sprouts to the burgers to the bread pudding dessert. Very trendy and comfortable atmosphere … and clean restrooms too! Great for date night or a family meal with older children (teens). Perhaps a little too upscale for young children.

    Absolutely loved our experience at Aftermath! The food was not only unique, but every dish felt thoughtfully crafted with top-tier ingredients—you can truly taste the quality. The cocktails were next-level: creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. What really sets Aftermath apart, though, is the vibe. The servers were warm, attentive, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. Can’t recommend it enough—this place nails it on all fronts.

    Incredible food & service. Everything from appetizer to entree to the cocktail. Highly recommend the drink with Japanese gin, elderflower, cucumber & grapefruit. Best craft burger I’ve had in a while. Def worth the hype.

    Every couple of weeks, my wife and I crave a cheeseburger. We have tried places around town , but often gravitate back to Aftermath. Tonight we sat at the bar, had a nice cocktail and then enjoyed our meal. The cheeseburger is a double patty smash burger with an incredible onion bun. As a bonus we have had terrific service sitting at the bar or in the dining room.

    Salty burger and ribs were tasteless. The Mac was excellent and the salads fresh. I was also expecting something for his retirement but we were full. So we left feeling satisfied knowing we had a good conversation.

    Service was exceptionally slow. Had a table of kids separated from their parents that should not be unsupervised. Broke glasses on table, get getting up and running around. Parents completely inept and ignorant.. We have been many times, and generally very good as I have detailed before..
