As a Celiac, there are few restaurants where I can get a burger and fries that not only taste good, but won't make me sick. I've been eating there for the last year, usually without my kids, or at least not all of them and its always been a good experience. After tonight I'll never go back. The place is set up to be "kid friendly" with kid sized tables and a TV in the wall showing cartoons. Tonight my husband and I took all three kids (5 and under) and as we got our food, the owner asked to not bring my kids again. Were they angels? No. Were they being normal kids hungry and excited about eating out? Yes. Were they listening to instructions from us? Mostly...they are small kids. This is a burger place, not The French Laundry. It was insulting and unrealistic expectations on the owners part. And he has lost my business.

Pros: Really good, gluten free food

Cons: Anti-kid owners

I have eaten at Mojos a couple times, and all times have been an unhappy experience. I will never eat at Mojos again. I am very dissatisfied with the employees and the Mojo product. Burgers are very rare when asked for well done. Fries are burnt and dry. Sand dollars are burnt and dark brown. The employees cooking our food were laughing and goofing around. I was disgusted to see the employees slapping each other and being loud while making my food. We came to Mojos because of all the awards won but can honestly not understand why. The food and service has not been award winning. Don't waste your time! You can get just as good burger at Carl's Jr and pay half the price!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything! Charge a lot for horrible food!

This is a very good burger joint. They use high grade natural Angus beef for their burgers and the buns and produce are fresh as well. The fries really reminded me of In-n-Out except they were a little larger - they tasted freshly made and were seasoned well but were on the soft (floppy?) side. The onion rings were good. The service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is burger joint (maybe a bit confused about their image). The place is clean and open. It's a great place for kids - good food and a lower counter with videos playing quietly or no sound at all. Parking wasn't a problem. We will definitely go there again.

Good little burger joint. Burgers are good and come dressed with fresh toppings. Onion rings are also good - crispy and golden. Best part of Mojo is the fact that they have Franks Red Hot sauce available tableside so that you can dress your burger the way you like it. (For us, this means lots of hot sauce). Plus, the place is clean and friendly. For kids, they have an area where they can watch cartoons while they eat. We'll be back! Good stuff.

Pros: Good food and Frank's Red Hot on hand!

Cons: Atmosphere is a little hokey, but good for kids.

Simply put, Mojo makes the best tasting burgers & fries in the world. The closest comparison would be Happy Hound and Hungry Hound. Mojo uses better beef. Mojo's fries are prepared from fresh potatoes using a secret process that renders them crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside, and they don't use crappy ketchup like so many burger joints.

Pros: The best!

Cons: None

Went there last weekend with my girlfriend. We were immediately greeted by Peter the owner. He definitely made us feel welcomed. The burgers were juicy, flavorful and cooked as ordered. The restaurant was clean and well kept.

Pros: Food Service

Cons: None

It's hard to believe this is a private business and not a franchise when you walk in the door. The operation is very professional and clean. The service is friendly and fast. Mojo burger offers burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and even PB&J's. This is a very kid-friendly place with little picnic tables with movies playing to keep kids (and parents) happy. The burgers are made with hormone-free high quality beef. They offer a regular burger and a Mojo burger. The regular burger is sort of like a McDonald's burger only with good ingredients. The Mojo burger is more like a slightly bigger In-N-Out burger with all the fixings. The fries are similar to In-N-Out. They are fresh cut potatoes fried fresh and served hot. The drinks are refillable. The prices are very good considering the high quality ingredients they're using. No, it's not as cheap as McDonald's, but the burgers are actually char broiled and have top quality meat, unlike McDonald's. I recommend this place very highly if you're looking for a good fast burger.

Pros: High quality ingredients, great service, good value

Cons: None really, I suppose the fries could be a shade crisper

Mojo has great service. I go in and I am greeted by Mrs. Mojo. She's very nice and supplies some of the best customer service I have ever received. The food is great, I order the #1 Mojo Burger with Cheese, Fries and a refillable (free) soft drink. The burger is huge, 1/3 pound I believe. You have your choice of toppings. My favorite is a classic mix of pickles, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomatoe and cheese. The fries are better than In N' Out fries. They are made fresh and are not greasey or salted. If there is a better burger joint than Mojo, I want to know about it. Mojo by far in my burger is the best there is.

Pros: Burgers are yummy and filling. Prices are inline with other burger joints, and premium burgers found at fast food places.

Cons: None at this time.
