I have left this review in other spots in addition to this one. This restaurant earned the effort. There were three of us. We had 45 minutes to eat and then 15 to get to the courthouse for a meeting. I had seen the place a few weeks before and wanted to try it. When we arrived the parking lot was about full. Good sign for food quality usually. Bad sign for someone who only has 45 minutes to eat. We asked the wait-staff if they thought they could pull-off a 30 minute race to get our food to the table. She worked with us by advising what meals/items took longer to prepare and we said game on. Best burgers I have had in Alabama in a decade. T H E B E S T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All three of us were in awe of how good the meal was. The wait-staff was fast, courteous, knowledgable, helpful, and pleasant. I am usually happy if I get just two of those in a server. Our server had them all. We are already planning to go back for a less rushed, more relaxed dinner soon. The dining room was clean, comfortable, and did not have the echo-filled cafeteria acoustics a lot of places do. Outstanding place. Outstanding burgers. Outstanding service. I highly recommend it.

Burgers and fries was great.Cold Beer and live music was great.The service was great.It was in a great old downtown building with great atmosphere and acoustics.She brought our check faster than I wanted is the only reason for not 5 stars.I would have drank another beer.We will be back soon and maybe they can get the five stars.So just tune back in to The working man's revue.

This is a cool spot in downtown Gadsden, the food was excellent! Service was good, I recommend the sampler plate. I had the Chicken Quesadilla, Buffalo chicken dip and cheese sticks. All were fantastic and fresh and hot which I greatly appreciated.

Some of the best wings I've ever eaten. They are "pre seasoned" which I believe might be some sort of hot sauce/buttermilk brine. Could be wrong, but whatever they do to them works well. Laid back atmosphere and wasn't super busy. Friendly bartender. I'll be back.
