My husband and I shared a delightful meal at Kirk's with our fur baby Bella. We were warmly greeted by Jean Paul and appreciated the menu options for our furry companion, who enjoyed the beef patty. The food was scrumptious, and the ambiance was spotless and inviting. Our experience was exceptional, thanks to Jean Paul's warm service, despite his recent foot injury. He made sure we had everything we needed and even prepared a mouthwatering cookies & cream milkshake. We enjoyed our meals and shared chips with queso (super yummy!). We're excited to come back! 11/14/2024- My husband and I returned to Kirk's, where we savored a slice of pepperoni pizza and a slice of margherita, accompanied by mozzarella sticks, a Philly cheesesteak burger, and a grilled chicken salad. The cuisine was exceptional, and the ambiance was equally impressive. We observed Jean Paul continuing to work diligently despite his injured foot. Keep up the great work!! We’ll be back!

Kirks is the best burger place around. After having tried Gotts, Super Duper, and The Melt. Kirks has something special. If you want a great experience I always go and see Freddy and Louis they are so kind and helpful. They are so knowledgeable about what tastes good with what. The both have made suggestions that have significantly improved my dining experience. I recently moved to the area and love this place. My only gripe is I should be able to DoorDash your pizza

Great food here! Killer burgers! Always people in here so you know it's good,the servers and cooks and business boys are nice and chatty and friendly. However the people who take your order never look they want to be there. Always on the phone, never look you in the eye, never say anything they just stay silent and ask if that's all when you're done and then tell your total while pulling out their phone. Like come on people? Put just a little bit of effort into your damn job. Killer location and even the fries are delicious. 10/10 restaurant. Just don't expect to get any pointers from the zombies taking your order

This place is a gem! We go to MyGym across the way multiple times a week so we have tried all the lunch spots that are walking distance and this is by far and away our favorite. Great food, kind folks working there, SO helpful and patient as I'm always solo with a little one. High chairs are always clean which is huge! Love this local spot!

I first enjoyed Kirk's when I was in graduate school in the 1980's. It's every bit as good now as then. This time, I had the pineapple bacon burger - my favorite. Every bit as good as ever. New for me was the chocolate shake - wonderful. Inside seating is noisy, but there is sufficient outside seating.

I’ve been driving by this place for probably 20 years and finally dropped in for a burger. In fact, I had my first ice cream cone across the street in the early 90s. So I have countless memories wondering what these burgers tasted like. I got the avocado bacon on sourdough, what a treat. Fries were perfectly crispy and light. Loved every bite. I can’t say much about sports paraphernalia but there are lots of windows and great natural light inside. Staff was kind and helpful. Will be back next time I’m around!

Good food. Watch the hours. We were getting takeout for a friend on the way out and they were already tearing down the kitchen at a couple of minutes after 8. The kindly made out order but we expected a sports bar to have food later.
