Holeman & Finch

After passing it three times we made our way into the restaurant. It was 7:30 on Friday and we didn’t know we should have made a reservation. Luckily there was a spot in the bar area. Our waiter was great. I mentioned we were there for a quick dinner and had a show to go to. I asked about a couple of items on the menu but we both decided on the cheeseburger. OMG, I think it was the best burger and fries I’ve ever had and the mustard was delicious too! We were out of there by 8:20 and made it to Center Stage with no problem. Great service and great food. Next time we will make reservations and try some of the interesting items on the menu (or have another delicious burger). :)

That burger was everything. It had to be the juiciest burger I’ve ever eaten. The combination of the onions and pickles was to die for the homemade ketchup taste it like a one it was wonderful.

Love H&F!
The menu is always evolving and it’s fun to try new things! They are always rotating more adventurous items like head cheese and lamb testicle.
Yes, testicle.
Delicious by the way.
The cocktails are typically divine and they carry just about the best damn craft beer selection in town.
I enjoy little above salty shaved meat and a robust chocolate milk stout late night, after working a long shift.
Oh! And the sticky toffee pudding good lord. Y’all!
I’ve left Houstons across the street after a mediocre meal and bad service (I know?!) just to have that damn dessert and a decaf coffee. Also strange but H+F is the only place I order decaf coffee, it’s really good.
Ok the burger – everyone loves it. I’m just the jerk that has tried it more than once and I don’t see what all the fuss is about.
I recall destroying one after too many cocktails with a coworker but after the second time ordering and eating it, I will say it is tasty-​but far from my favorite burger.
Sometimes the bartenders are a bit pretentious and it’s off putting for people who like to sit at the bar over a table.
I kind of like it. LOL.
Educate me dude. Right on.
I think maybe they are just very serious.
The food is just amazing. Last time we were there we had about every item on the menu including two orders of Hoppin John.
I will continue to frequent H+F and suggest it to everyone.

The cheeseburger at Holeman & Finch is legendary. Finally, after all these years, I got a chance to experience it last night on a quick visit to ATL for the taping of «Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me» at the Fox.
Oh, yes, it’s good. A double patty with charred, crusty edge, on a H&F’s own bun. You don’t get to specify anything. It’s served the way it’s served. Period. Burger. Cheese. Onions. Fries. Sides of ketchup and mustard. I like that arrogance. It’s $ 14 and worth it.
H&F is a lot smaller than I imagined. Just a few tables and a bar. But there is valet parking.
Drinks at Holeman & Finch are a little on the pricey side. My Plymouth gin & tonic was $ 13.50, but it was dang good.
Bottom line: This is clearly one of Atlanta’s best burgers, but I’d put it a notch below Bocado. I’d even put it a bit below Asheville’s Bull & Beggar. But I’ll be dreaming of that charred crusty double cheese for a long time.

The service was great, the food was amazing. Only negative was that the floor was sticky.

I have eaten here many times and also try to attend any whiskey events that they host. Really great bar and bartenders, too.
Their cheeseburger is legendary in Atlanta and I highly recommend it.
Good for eating and chatting with business colleagues in the main dining area and also great for a date with your significant other at the bar.
These guys are also affiliated with Restaurant Eugene (fine dining, next door) and the H&F Bottle Shop that is down the street. All fine businesses.

I’ve had this restaurant on my bookmark list for a couple months and I finally got to go after leaving the High Museum on a Friday around 11, since they were one of the only places open late.
The whole staff was so friendly and lively! They danced and everything which made it such a fun atmosphere! We sat in the bar area so there was not a wait which was surprising for a Friday night.
We came for the burger of course but I wanted to try a few other things as well. The burger and fries were DELICIOUS! You definitely can’t go wrong with it! I also ordered the shrimp toast which was good and the beef short rib which was decent and tender but could have used more seasoning. The menu is very interesting and a bit pricy for such small portions but I would definitely come back for the burger though

Went here on 2÷6÷16. We had to wait for our table so we went to the bar. my date went to grab a straw from the bar and the bartender started yelling at him because he «didn’t know where his hands have been». My date said ok and walked away, but the bartender continued to yell and try to embarrass him in front of a very full bar. I looked right at the bartender and told him to stop. The bartender did come over to us and state that he was sorry for yelling but then he said «any bartender would have done the same». He was more justifying his rude behavior more than apologizing. No professional bartender would yell at a customer simply for reaching for a straw. he wasn’t reaching over anyone’s food so I think he was most concerned because the straws weren’t individually wrapped? If he is so concerned then why don’t they have individually wrapped straws?
The burger was great… our waiter seemed a little disappointed that we only ordered the burger. um that’s why you are on the map! The food was good. Space was really small. The tables were ridiculously small. Think kids tables. Great ambiance!

This place is a wonderful find for anyone looking for an inventive meal later in the evening. We had a 10:30 reservation on a Friday night. It’s not a dive-​y scene, but the feel is equally eclectic as that you’ll find at The Vortex or the like. From the interior décor to the uniquely-​dressed staff and the precision with which they uniformly announce the departure of yet another table… you’ll feel like you’re in an urban saloon. I love that part.
We started with the pickled shrimp, a promotional item for the recent Valentine’s Day holiday, and we both had the veal sirloin prepared medium rare. It was very tender, served atop an accompaniment of onion, florets and a sweet potato purée.
We also tried the braised collard greens. They were smoky and tangy and flavorful, but if you’re from the South, you just might have had better. That’s no blow to H+F; they’ve got plenty else to offer.
It’s important to note that on a prior visit my fellow diner had the cheeseburger, and since then he has not stopped raving about said burger. Then again, you may just be the adventurous sort who’s into sweetbreads and whatnots. If that’s the case, this is definitely the place for you.
Ultimately, it’s the crowd, the setting and the drinks that keep me coming back to H+F, but on top of their food, why wouldn’t you stop by?

I strolled into Holeman and Finch with a friend late on a Friday night at around 10pm. My friend kept raving about all the wonderful things that he was told about H&F so I figured it would be a decent experience. They have complimentary valet which is a plus. When we walked in the door we were asked if we had reservations and the answer was no. Both hostesses looked at each other and it was clear I had committed a sin. Our options were to wait a estimated 1 hour and 15mins or find a seat in the bar area. If you plan to dine here please make sure you make reservations. This girl here loves sitting at the bar so really it was no big deal but the obnoxious face the hostesses made was not at all inviting. We lucked up and found two seats immediately as we walked into the bar area. The ambiance had a upscale rustic feel to it yet it was casuaI, I liked the concept. The bartenders were extremely professional and made sure things were in order. The one bartender we had I asked her what was good on the menu and she said «everything» with the most serious face I have ever seen… now that is dedication to your job.
I ordered the Bronx due to all the hype about the housemade drinks and it was a good drink, for $ 14 I was hoping it would be a good drink and it was.
Thank goodness I wasn’t hungry I ordered the smoked Duck and the cabbage apples. The smoked Duck was ok it was about 5 tiny strips of duck that tasted pickled on a plate, the presentation was very nice. The cabbage apples were very flavorful and I really enjoyed the dish. My friend had the Burger and Fries which he said was good, not the best he has ever had but it was good and filling. I don’t eat beef so unfortunately I missed out on the highlight of the resturant but did taste the fries, they were hand-​cut and very tasty. This spot is definitely pricey but would definitely be a good pick for a business lunch, third date, or to impress any of your pretentious friends.

I have ate here multiple times but the real reason most people come is for the chance to try the famous burger. Sunday is the only day that the burger is a mainstay item on their brunch menu. I try to arrived 30 minutes early before open and sometimes the line has already wrapped around the corner! The wait can be as long as 1.5 hours just for that item. Everything this place has to offer is delicious so don’t let not trying the burger discourage you from enjoying H&F.
–The Burger–
Is it worth the hype? Yes, I would say so! It is absolutely delicious, the meat patty is juicy and flavorful, the bread is soft, the fries and condiments are always fresh and taste-​y. Would I wait 1.5 hours again? Probably not. 1 hour? Maybe. 45 minutes? Definitely.
Recommendations:
+ Try going around 2pm on a Sunday. I’ve noticed tables starting to clear around then.
+ Do not bring a big group! Ideally 2 as the tables are all small and there is only 1 large table in the center.
+ Service is always professional
+ Grab a cocktail while you wait and enjoy!

It was really crowded when we got there and we were lucky enough to squeeze into two bar stools. It took a while for us to get a server but it was understandable with all of the people that they had to serve.
We started off with the pan seared foie gras and accompaniments. That included a griddled bread of sort and this yummy amazing bacon jam? they had on top. Definitely my favorite thing that meal. We then had the bone marrow au gratin which wasn’t that great. I thought it was pretty bland but that’s okay. We finished off with the famous burger and fries. It’s a simple burger but it’s a great burger. I mean. It tastes like what a burger should. I really enjoyed it. The French fries were okay. They were kind of cold and limp. Disappointing.
I had some coffee, which was French pressed, and it paired perfectly with the sticky toffee pudding that we had for dessert. The pudding was moist and melted in your mouth almost. The chocolate was rich and ooey gooey. We also had the fried apple pie and we were lucky enough to get served some vanilla ice cream. I loved the crust on the pie. It was surprisingly sweet on its own and buttery.

To start out, this is not my kind of place. I don’t like trendy/​pretentious restaurants, and this is one of those sorts of places. So I have no intention of going back for that reason.
That said, the food here was decent, if not outrageously overpriced. I did have the burger, since everyone in Atlanta raves about it. It was a fine burger, but certainly not The Best Burger On Planet Earth as you normally hear. The most flavorful part of the burger was the cheese — and I hate to break it to you, but it’s just plain old American cheese. Nothing so fancy that you can’t make it at home. But it was enjoyable, the fries went well with it, and I was content after the meal. So if you’re looking for a meal that will actually fill you up, you’ve got one.
The beer selection was all right. We sat at the bar, so we watched the bartender make several drinks, and she looked like she knew her stuff. The staff was not terribly friendly, but also not rude.
If you’re looking to impress your easily impressionable out-​of-​town friends and have some extra cash laying around, you might like H&F. Otherwise, you’re not missing out by driving right past.

As a solo diner, I got a seat pretty quickly with the choice of either the communal table or the bar seats. I opted for the bar seats. Service was good and prompt, I had a menu in front of me under 3 minutes.
I’ve read a lot about the Cheeseburger so I went with that (although I did seek for other recommendations and I was spoiled for choices with the recommendations provided by the staff). I also ordered deviled eggs for starters.
1. Deviled eggs: most beautiful deviled eggs I’ve ever seen. Comes in 3 different flavors and they tasted as good as they looked. Presentation and taste game strong. That set the bar and my expectations for the rest of my evening there.
2. Cheeseburger: Having heard /​seen the hype about this burger, I just have to try it. While it wasn’t the best cheeseburger, it was a decent cheeseburger. It came with a side of fries (thicker kind) and the usual ketchup + mustard by the side. Patty was cooked to medium — exactly how I requested it to be (some places either overcook or undercook the meat, which is very annoying) and had the buns had the patties, cheese, pickles and onions sandwiched neatly. The buns were toasted well — firm and slightly crisp, though I wished that the buns were a little more fragrant so that they would compliment the taste of the burger. I felt they were pretty ordinary and plain. I’m very particular about the buns on the burger — it could potentially make or break a burger.
Cocktail: the bartender asked me for my preferences for a drink and I told him that I wanted something on the lighter side. He had the perfect recommendation for me (sorry I forgot the name of the cocktail I had) and the drink was excellent. He constantly checked back to see if I needed anything else.
Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience. Service was fast and prompt, food was above average. This place gets busy so be sure to make reservations beforehand!

I only came here for the burger & man it did not disappoint. It was by far the best burger on the planet. The bun had just the right amount of crispy edge and the meat was cooked just right. I wasn’t a big fan of the homemade ketchup but other than that I was in Heaven. Sooo good. Can’t wait to go back!

Me and my wife only went here once (couple weeks ago) and everything we ordered was delicious. The burger is a no brainer and the fact that everything on the menu are like tapas style its cool bc you can try various items. The deviled eggs were so good we ordered another ater the first order came out. We can’t wait till we go back!

Do not waste your time here. This place is for pretentious hipster people that have no idea what a hamburger is suppose to taste like. The hamburger looks like it’s going to taste like a million dollars but the reality is that it had no flavor at all. The ketchup tasted like they mixed a1 steak sauce with with it ?? That’s not creative and incredibly lame. I didn’t see anything else on the menu and found myself googling wtf it was. The tables are the size of a fisher price table and the seats are metal and very uncomfortable. When we arrived the guy asked us if we made a reservation… Really ?? A reservation to a fake bar and all you serve is cheese and a terrible
Hamburger. Save your time and go to
McDonald’s … Or go to dunwoody village burger for a real
Hamburger.

Hands down, THE BEST DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER in Atlanta! Getting a burger at Holeman & Finch used to be a pain in the ass, because up until 2015, they only reserved a limited amount of 24 burgers every single night to a handful of lucky customers. Prior to 2015, the burgers were on a first come, first serve basis, and were considered an off-​menu item. A customer would have to reserve a burger once they got there (if they were still available) and wait until around 9PM-​10PM to actually receive the burger (times may have fluctuated).
Fortunately, Holeman & Finch now provides unlimited burgers and they finally take reservations! The novelty of being able to eat a «limited burger» at H&F is no longer available, and to some customers, that may be an issue. However, as a burger enthusiast, I say, «Who cares!?» Being guaranteed a H&F burger, as long as I have a reservation trumps the novelty of a burger being «limited» or «exclusive» any night of the week!
The quality of a H&F burger is absolutely magnificent. The flavors in the burger (cooked medium) are juicy, succulent and blissfully satisfying that will never make you want to eat, let alone even smell or look at any burger that isn’t half as decent as a H&F burger! The bun, which H&F makes fresh daily at their H&F bakery company, is a pain de mie bun, which is baked perfectly. The combination of the freshly baked bun, the house made ketchup, the house made pickles, the freshly sliced onions, the melted Kraft American cheese, and the freshly grounded beef patty (⁵⁰⁄₅₀ mix of chuck and brisket) will be the best burger experience of your life!
Make sure to make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, due to the restaurant’s popularity.
Other items to try:
–bacon caramel popcorn
–deviled eggs three ways
–pimento cheese
–bone marrow
–spicy chicken sandwich
–ice cream sandwiches

This is a foodie’s heaven! EVERYTHING we ordered was good. You have to plan ahead though and make a reservation because it is really busy here. We couldn’t make a reservation but lucked out when seats at the «communal table» opened up.
This is definitely going to be the first of many visits to this place for us!

Had the infamous Holeman and Finch burger. Perfection. Love the bun and it’s big enough to share if you’re not on the hangry side. Also ordered a meat and cheese appetizer to pair with some wine before the meal which I would more than likely do again when I come back. All in all, nice place. A downfall [and reason for ⁴⁄₅ stars] would be space– it is a pretty tight fit for seating. Parking is conveniently located in an attached deck if you don’t mind a slight hike up a steep hill in heels (ladies). Head up, valet for the restaurant ends around 10PM even though restaurant is still open.

The burger was so good. The best burger ever. Before we ate the couple sitting sitting beside us told us the food was life charging. I thought they were being dramatic but after the first I knew what meant. The sticky toffee pudding was prefect. My kids loved their meals also.

The burger is simply the best and always will be for me. Nothing ever will compare. Seems like the fries have been improved as of recently as well!
H+F has literally ruined all other burgers for me because they are just that good.

Holman and finch was very nice. A very hip and cool restaurant.
Love that they change their menu everyday.
The fact that they bake bread to distribute around Atlanta is pretty neat as well.
I’ll be honest in saying that everyone always comments on how great the burger is. And how it’s arguably the nations best burger. I must be honest in saying that the burger was nothing special. I mean it was good but nothing out of this world.
I would focus on being spontaneous and trying as many different exotic/​special dishes they have to offer.
We ate the:
–Cheeseburger.
–fried oysters and Cesar salad.
–shrimp toast
–bone marrow
–cheese and meat plate
Cool place for a date and good food.
We

Always a favorite. Always.
Instead of getting the 10 O’Clock Burger which you can get anytime, anywhere now (ie H&F Burger at Ponce City Market or at Turner Field), definitely check out the other things. My favorite thing to do is to eat things family-​style, so everyone gets to try everything. Here’s the latest and greatest from my most recent trip:
Pork Face Croquette: This wasn’t as «scary» as I thought it would be. Holeman & Finch does a great a job of incorporating cuts that you ordinarily wouldn’t eat and making it into something tasty. This was our «something weird» for the night. I remember it being crunchy with a nice crust to it.
Pâté Melt: This reminds me of the melts you can get at Waffle House, but it’s fancy! Fancy because of the creamy pâté. This might have been the best dish of the night.
Roasted Cauliflower: Kind of a good veggie dish to have to balance out all the rich foods. I like how it had a nice char to it for that roasted flavor. It’s such a good dish, I don’t know why I don’t do this more often at home.
Tagliatelle: Tasty but next to everything else, I guess, a pasta dish was different but didn’t exactly go with everything else. I mean, it’s still great, but I don’t think it’s something I’d order again in the future unless I wanted pasta.
Toast (with Mushroom): Is this some kind of trend? I think I recently had this at King+Duke, but I have to say I like Holeman & Finch’s version better. Both are rich, but there was something simple about this particular toast dish where it wasn’t drenched in sauce.
Service is always great. The restaurant tends to get really really loud in the bar area and well, frankly, there’s not much space to wait in the restaurant except right around their fridge cases by the hostess’ stand. I’d definitely make reservations or aim to get there at a later hour for less people, but even so, to think there will be «less people» can be hit or miss. I definitely love bringing out of town guests here for something different.

Came for a late dinner at the bar.
We shared the burger ($ 14) and the shrimp toast ($ 20).
You’re better off getting the burger than the shrimp toast. The burger was a double, smashed, juicy, but maybe a little underseasoned. The shrimp toast was a bit overdone and full of potato dumplings.
The staff was friendly and attentive. It’s not a huge space, but pretty intimate and probably a good date spot.

even after all the hype, i was still impressed.
what i ate:
— roasted cauliflower: the cauliflower was nicely roasted. the citrusy hollandaise was rich, but not too rich. the capers give it a nice vinegar bite. lovely veggie dish.
— pâté melt: my FAVORITE DISH of the night. the pâté was meaty and rich, smothered with melted gruyère, but this was perfect because of the sweet onion jam and the vinegar punch of the pickled mirepoix. seriously, i could have eaten just this and left so happy. i wish i could eat this again right now.
— hand cut tagliatelle: this was good, but unremarkable. the flavor was interesting, with the various textures — the tagliatelle, the shaved brussel sprouts, the peppers, and the marigold. but, there was something missing from this dish. there needed to be something to bring everything together. while it wasnt bad, i’ll pass on this next time
— pig face croquette: crispy and fatty. that’s all i remember from this dish. that isnt to say that this was bad, it just wasnt as great as other dishes.
— sweet breads: okay, i soooo wanted to love this dish. but it was just too damn salty. it was good, but toooooo salty. my mouth puckered and thirsted for some water after each bite. the sweet breads were beautifully battered and fried, but soaking up that sweet soy sauce made it too salty. this dish needed a huge bowl of fresh steamed white rice.
— toast: i also really liked this dish. simple white toast, covered with beef ragout and mushrooms. sooooo earthy and umami. from now on, when i order toast, i’ll be thoroughly disappointed if this doesnt show up on my plate.
pros:
— food. the menu was impressive. i didnt know what to order and what ot try. it all sounded so good
— service was on point
— cocktail menu was also great.
— décor was nice. think dark leathers, dim lighting
— totally wanted to reach into the various fridges in the front and steal food
— price was very on point. not too pricey considering the amount of craft that went into the food
— valet was closing up shop as we got there, but plenty of parking to be found in the structure.
cons:
— small space. bar was PACKED when we got there late at night. probably a to go spot on the weekends. it was hard to find a spot to sit and order a drink without being shoved into someone else
— too many good things on the menu. best to go with a few other friends to order a bunch of stuff and share
would i come again? YES!

After seeing the «secret burger» on Best Thing I Ever Ate, I made it a point to try it out during a quick trip to Atlanta. I was even more encouraged when I realized that the burger was no longer only being offered late night.
While the burger was the best I’ve ever had, it certainly was solid and just seeing how many others were there most likely for similar reasons made the experience that much more worth it.
Again, if you’re looking for the best burger ever, I’d have to think there are better, but certainly worth a try.

I have had the HF Burger at a Braves game but I really wanted to try it straight from the source.
Came on a tuesday night and there was a 90 minute wait for the dining room so we just went to the bar area. Still was able to snag a little table area right next to the kitchen. The burger is definitely up there among the best in Atlanta. My personal favorite is still the one at Bocado, but this is up there.
Also had the hush puppies and pimento cheese. The hush puppies are ok, but I liked the pimento cheese a lot.

I am having a hard time rating this restaurant a 3 or 4 star. For us a solid 3.5 stars.
Ever since we moved to Atlanta (a year ago), we’ve read and heard about H&F like the be-​all, end-​all burger joint. Prior to this, we’ve had Bocado’s burger as well as Grub street and Farm burger.
We arrived on a Sunday for lunch and were promptly seated, thanks to reservations. The restaurant was booked, understandably, brunch service is busy times for restaurants. We knew we wanted to try the burger so that’s what we each ordered.
The burger comes with the perfect amount of fries. Some locations overload the plate with fries and that seems unnecessary since you’re at the restaurant to enjoy the burger. H&F knows what they’re doing…
The burger is two patties with cheese. It comes with bread & butter pickles. Both my partner and I were delighted to see two thick patties, compared to Bocado’s thin (smahsburger-​esque patty). I have no complaints about the meat or the amount but I wished the chef had seasoned the meat generously with salt & pepper, both missing in our burgers. We were underwhelmed with the flavor of the meat, or lack there of. The key that saved the burger (meat) from complete failure was how juicy it was. The chef must use a good ratio for meat to fat. The buns were infamous H&F buns and undoubtedly so, the bread helped save the burger.
A solid burger in size, juiciness, bun and toppings but look elsewhere for a flavorful patty.

Well well well I finally made it to this Atlanta Treasure. I’ve heard oh so much about their famous burger and finally I had the perfect night to try it. We had an 8pm reservation but met at the bar for a drink at 7:30pm. Their choices in wine were very good and chilled to perfection.
We were seated right away. The sad part was it was at an awkward table by the window. That being said at second glance the entire restaurant was awkward. They really did turn a bar into a restaurant. The room was not put together well. Lord have mercy if there was a fire drill. It was very tight.
Now on to our service and food. Our server Sam was ok but pretty much overall not likeable. The Hush Puppies and Burgers were the saving grace for this place. Well, that and the prices. We found the drinks and food to be at quite the steal. Everything was as legendary as we’d heard and it was great to taste it first hand. In fact I finished my burger and fries… we both did!
I’d say overall I liked it and will be back but will probably just stay in the bar area next time. It seems more acceptable to be close and more fun!

Cool spot to go to and hang out at the bar, or have a full meal. They are open late, which is a bonus if you’re looking for late night eats! We made reservations for a late dinner on a Saturday night, and our table was ready when we arrived at 9pm. We decided to grab a drink at the bar first, and the bartenders were friendly and helpful even though they were busy. I had a taste of the Moonlight Drive Imperial Coffee Stout, which was really good, but I decided to go for a beer that was a little lighter. I ended up with the Drafty Kilt ($ 7) which was really flavorful and delicious served on nitro. We were asking the bartender for suggestions on the menu items, and he was nice enough to hook us up with some Bacon Caramel Popcorn (
), which was delicious! A must order for any popcorn and/​or bacon lover.
We decided to sit down at our booth around 9:30pm– the bar was almost completely full at that time, and the dining area was over half full. We tried:
–Foie Gras Torchon (Black Mission Figs, Shaved Hazelnut, $ 26,
): Good, and they give you a plentiful amount of torchon. However, foie gras torchon is so rich that I wish they gave you less and charged less– $ 26 is a pretty steep price to pay, even for foie gras. I did love the pairing of the figs though.
–The Burger (Cheese, Onion, B&B Pickles, Fries, $ 14,
): Yum– a must order for any burger connoisseur! I loved the juiciness of the burger, and the fries were also nice and crispy. The only negative was the housemade ketchup– you really can’t beat the recipe Heinz has.
The one thing I wish they did was allow guests to do a sampler platter of dishes, especially the offal dishes. I like some offal dishes, but don’t want to commit to a huge plate of brains, for example. It would be amazing if some half sized plates were added to the menu so that you could try more items.
Our server in the dining area was a bit too energetic for us, and his loud personality was somewhat off-​putting. Nice, but a little overbearing. Other than that, the food was really good, and I would come back to eat in the bar area. They have valet available, but you can also self-​park if you make a right when you see the restaurant, and go up a little ways. However, it’s a little sketchy to walk by yourself at night as a woman.

Came back for visit #2.
This time to try the burger after reading many reviews on such topic.
I also ordered the bone marrow.
The first time I had bone marrow it was in Scottsdale Arizona. A life-​changing event. I wanted the same experience here. It fell way short to a non-​event. The bone marrow dish here was coated in a gritty substance that resembled cornmeal or some fine dusting of breadcrumb — not sure which. But whatever it was, it totally removed any flavor provided by the bone marrow — a total loss and a total fail.
Second, the burger. Although presentation was a 9 or 10. The flavor was a nothing. I don’t know what the hype is! The bread/​bun was good. Perhaps the meat alone was the kicker. I don’t know. I got no response with my taste buds. Another non-​event.
I’ll add that my companion thought the burger was the best she ever had.
The cocktail I ordered really kicked butt! That is something they really master here.
My first visit here was EXCELLENT — tried a variety of goodies. Second visit — a total miss (except the cocktail).
I will return, but I must reduce the stars. When I come for bone marrow, I want to TASTE bone marrow.

Have you ever wanted to find a place that combined badass specialized cocktails with amazingly crafted comfort food? Holeman and Finch has you covered.
Every cocktail we ordered was fantastic — but strong so watch out! For starters we did the devilled egg trio and bacon caramel popcorn. Both were good but I definitely liked the popcorn more. The egg trio comes with one of each flavor of egg so if two people are gunning for the same flavor it gets a bit awkward.
For our mains most had the burger and I had the carbonara because I was craving some pasta. It was wonderfully cooked and well spiced. Still, when I tried a bite of my sister’s burger (which she graciously shared) I saw why that’s what the restaurant is known for. Perfectly cooked, and wonderfully juicy, my mouth is watering just thinking about their delicious take on a pretty standard menu item.
What to order: get a HOT ROD! cocktail and a burger and you’ll be one happy camper.
