Creative burger-and-taco shop with exotic meats and quick counter service; delicious for many, but portions run small and service can be uneven—best value via combos and pickup.
Dark Side Of The Moo delivers creative, bold flavors with strong food quality anchored by exotic meats and reliable fast service on online orders. However, quality varies noticeably—overcooked patties, greasy fries, and smaller-than-expected portions undermine consistency—while tight seating and limited space suit takeout better than lingering. A solid neighborhood casual spot with personality, but execution gaps keep it from competing with the area's more polished dining options.
Small and lively in The Heights, this counter-service spot leans playful with mounted critters and quirky touches that match its adventurous menu. Staff often come off as friendly and accommodating, especially with custom orders and quick pickups. One diner summed it up: "Grabbed my online order in minutes and the yak was spot on." Do note that a few reviews cite rude phone interactions and delivery hiccups. The cooking is unfussy but creative—think exotic meats folded into burgers and tacos, truffle-scented fries, and a Cuban-style Havana. It is more about bold ideas than fine-dining polish, which suits quick meals and takeout. On a good day, patties hit the requested doneness and flavors pop; on an off day, buns can sog, fries taste of tired oil, and portions feel smaller than expected. For families, this is a solid casual option: kids gravitate to plain cheeseburgers and fries, sweet potato fries, mac n cheese, and mild chicken items. The menu also offers veggie/avocado tacos and simple salads. Seating is limited, so families often fare best with pickup or a quick bite at the sidewalk tables when the weather cooperates.
