Amazing service outside from a new waitress. From someone who is always cold, the outside seating was perfectly heated. The burgers were incredible.

We came For brunch and the food was good but nothing exceptional. I had the breakfast jambalaya and hot tea. I was not offered another pot of water for the tea. The jambalaya was good but no spiciness and minimal sausage and chicken chopped up in the rice, one sunny side up egg on top. We asked for a warm table because the door was open on a 55 degree morning. We were seated in the draft. Why do restaurants insist on an odd number of egg halves for deviled eggs? They were the best taste of the meal. But we got 3 halves.

WE love Causewells but my Smashburger was NOT as good as usual. It wasn’t that smashed and it wasn’t that crispy-ish smoosh. Very disappointed as that is the only place I indulge in burgers. Drinks were good as usual but the ambiance outside could’ve been better. Overall a bit disappointed.

The hosts and servers were the nicest people. We were greeted so kindly, which helped us feel welcomed. One server said, "where is your cute dog?" I didn't think they would remember our dog based on my face and only seeing me once about a month prior. The fried onion side dish is my favorite. The wings are delicious. The American burger is made perfectly. Cocktails are fancy. Not the cheapest places for a burger dinner, but a wonderful experience.
