About The Position

Bartenders are more than drink makers - they are the hosts of the party, salespeople, and hospitality leaders. They create experiences, make high-quality drinks, build relationships, and help make every visit memorable for every guest. Our vision is to create an atmosphere that celebrates relaxed human connection. We accomplish this through above and beyond hospitality. The music in the restaurant, sports on TV, cleanliness of the dining room, and attentive service are all vital components of the guest experience. Since 1995, we have been pushing the boundaries of what fast casual food is. It’s a place where people actually want to hang out. It is a place for Burritos Buddies and Beer! We use only the highest quality ingredients to make the best damn food and drinks you can find. Food that you will be proud to serve to your friends, your family, and every guest. BUT….we go beyond serving delicious food and drinks, we are a part of the community. It is our mission to help give back to our crew, customers, and community by doing things the right way.
