The burgers are sooo good!! I got the black a blue burger. A tender juicy burger with blue cheese. The service is great, everyone who works here is so friendly!! I love that they don’t use seed oils and are so committed to sourcing ingredients locally! This is my second time here this week and I will definitely be back :) P.S they have the best music taste
I swear this is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was so warm and pleasant. We had such a great experience and will definitely be coming back!
Great burgers, both of the regular and smash varieties! Locally sourced beef and local beers on tap. Staff is stupendously friendly. They have one of the most interesting fries, they’re cut in a unique curved-thin wedge shape that makes it fry up with a good mix of crispiness and meatiness. Hard to explain, worth checking out! 🍟
A well-deserved 5-star review! Jordan was our server. We visited Key & Cleaver over the Fourth of July weekend, and it exceeded all our expectations. I had the Swiss Burger, and my wife ordered the BBQ Burger. Without a doubt, these were the best-tasting burgers we’ve ever had. The Swiss Burger, in particular, was absolutely incredible! The burgers were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. If you’re in the area and looking for an outstanding burger, Key & Cleaver is a must-visit!
Service was excellent I ordered a western burger and fries excellent with every where doing smash burgers its nice to have a big burger french fries a cross between a French fry and a potato chip super good my wife got a mushroom Swiss burger and she loved it overall very good definitely try this place
