SATURDAY PATIO BURGERS

Prime Burger Cafe at Old Homestead

We reined in our excitement when we realized that the new "cafe" is just OH opening their 20-seat sidewalk patio with a new lunch menu—but a menu chock full of juicy prime-cut burgers, kobe dogs and a tour de force Surf & Turf Steak Burger topped with steamed lobster medallions quickly made up for that disappointment.
