This was my first and most likely last trip to Citizens. I heard it was good so thought we'd give it a try. Our burgers AND fries were burned to the point that half of it wasn't even edible! Not to mention the service was incredibly slow and took over 45 min to get our food (3 burgers ordered all the same!) I wouldn't recommend it after my experience there.

When I first started coming here about 2 years ago, it was fantastic. The food was great, came out fast, and I could feel the genuine hospitality from the staff.

I came here for lunch this past Monday. It was generally towards the end of the "lunch rush" and things seems to be slower than a normal lunch. There weren't people crammed at the entry and the... read more

Best place to eat by far! The shishito pepper appetizer is a must have and the burgers are the best!

We stopped Downtown as a part of a domestic violence awareness Ladies Day Getaway with Gifted Group and The Pack Travel Club. I had a chicken burger and my friends had beef. Amazing wait staff, phenomenal food and a great way to kick off our trip.
