O ambiente é bom, espaçoso e bem localizado, pertinho da praia de Itaúna. O sistema de atendimento é perfeito, com um QR code onde se pode acessar o menu e pedir diretamente do celular. Melhor sistema que já vi, sinceramente. Quanto ao hambúrguer, achei ok, mas nada sensacional. Precisa apurar o blend e caprichar nos ingredientes. Felizmente o preço é e condizente. Eu volto e indico.

Viemos por volta das 14h30 para almoçar, estava com pouco movimento e fomos muito bem atendidos. Pratos frescos com sabor, porção de PF bem servida e preço justo. Não demorou para ficar pronto. Recomendo bastante o filé de peixe a backside. Ótimo. 21h30 Retornamos para conhecer os hambúrgueres. O local estava com um pouco mais de movimento, sentimos uma certa tensão no funcionários mas o atendimento foi bom. O pedido é por qrcode e direto pelo celular. Pedimos o Hambúrguer da Vila ( muito saboroso) e Galáxias (vem bastante cheddar mesmo!). A batata com Bacon (vem bastante bacon) e queijo tamanho G com ótima porção. Tempo de espera dentro do esperado, -+ 30 min. Voltaremos!
