🍓 Porch Swing Season is Calling… 🌿☀️

If you still think we’re just a burger joint… oh you’ve been missing out. 😉

Meet the Porch Swing 🍓✨

House-made strawberry-mint syrup (made from real strawberries 🍓 and fresh-picked mint 🌿), lemon-lime soda, a splash of cream, and finished with a fresh lemon wedge and mint leaf. It’s summer in a cup.

And while you’re here? Pair it with one of our fresh, handcrafted vegetarian salads. Crisp veggies, REAL ingredients, home-made dressings, and made with the same love that goes into everything we serve.

Because around here, we don’t believe in shortcuts. We believe in real food, real flavors, and giving you a reason to come back.

So grab a Porch Swing, find a sunny spot, and taste the difference.

The Gnarly Heifer.
More than burgers. Always has been. ❤️

📸 A huge thank you to the sweet customer who let us borrow her smile (and that amazing hat 🍓) for today’s photos! Shared with permission. ❤️

🤫 PSSST… THE DOGS ARE OUT. 🌭🐮

If you know… you KNOW. 😏

Our Secret Menu Dog Drop is stacked, messy, over-the-top, and absolutely worth asking about.

🌭 Chicago Dog
🐾 Can I Pet That Dog
🐮 Coney Cow
🧀 Doodle Dog
🥩 Barking Brisket Dog
🏡 Barn Dog

These aren’t your average hot dogs. They’re loaded with the same scratch-made, over-the-top Gnarly goodness you’ve come to expect.

They may not be on the menu… but they’re waiting for anyone brave enough to ask. 😉

👇 Which one are you ordering first?

🍔 The Burger That Put Us on the Map.

Yesterday someone called it iconic. ❤️

We’ll take that.

Two fresh local smashed beef patties with those crispy lacey edges.
Melty American cheese.
Hand-selected dill pickles.
Thick-cut crispy bacon.
Our handcrafted Gnarly Sauce.
All tucked into a buttery toasted brioche bun.

Simple ingredients.
Ridiculous flavor.

Around here, “homemade” isn’t a buzzword, it’s how we do things. We don’t open bags and call it cooking. We don’t serve pre-cut vegetables. We don’t believe in fake food.

We start with real ingredients and make food the same way we’d make it for our own family.

Because that’s exactly what you are.

Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’ve never stepped through our doors…

Come meet the burger that started it all.

And if you’ve never been to The Gnarly Heifer…

Come let me introduce you.

I know the owner. 😉🍔❤️

🧀 This week’s grilled cheesy feature is anything but ordinary 😋

Fresh locally picked asparagus, wild mushrooms, goat cheese, Parmesan, herbs & spices, and a drizzle of truffle oil, all grilled on rustic bread and finished with our house-made lemon thyme aioli. Topped with freshly grated Asiago and served with a balsamic drizzle.

It’s rich, earthy, and ridiculously delicious.

✨ Available while supplies last.
