Wow what a fantastic indoor/outdoor restaurant! Jojo told me the burgers were the best and they sure were, with a side of some very tasty pasta salad! I am new to the area and am so glad I decided to check out this spot. Great food, great service, great location, fantastic place cant wait to be back. Update: Great service from Alicia, Vanessa, and Cosia!

Torch hosted our Squadron's Hail and Farewell on short notice and did a superb job! Their manager and staff were great to work with. Food and drinks were top notch. Definitely a positive experience!

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch outside on their patio in January! Their torch burger was fantastic, and their Moroccan steak salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere. We will be back for sure.

We tried the crab dip and Brussels (appetizers) I wish the dip was mixed together a bit more, it had lots of cream cheese in the bottom of the container, maybe add more crab to balance it out? LOL The Brussels were tasty, couldn’t tell if they were overly roasted, burnt by accident or if they actually “torched” them. They had that burnt flavoring to it so maybe it’s supposed to be that way. Still very tasty outside of that. I ordered the Drunken Uncle burger w/ an egg. Wasn’t my favorite, mainly due to the cook rushing the order, mixing up our two burgers and not really taking his time to make it as the menu states. Waitress was attentive! And the music was good! Drinks were hella strong so I’d definitely come back to give Torch a redo!
