About:Touted as the home of the city's best burger by three local newspapers, this out-of-the way burger joint and watering hole is worth the trip. Moody's has been serving up its half-pound burgers and skin-on French fries since 1959. The restaurant's decor is simple, with heavy, dark oak tables reminiscent of a German beer hall. But during the summer, the best seats are outdoors. The tree-covered patio, ivy-covered walls and gurgling water fountain will whisk your troubles away and take you to a world where the only thing that matters are good burgers and a pint of brew. The pub is open from 11:30am to 1am from Monday to Saturday and it opens at noon on Sunday.

    AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY, LIKE YOU WOULD A TSUNAMI.

    Awful service. Credit cards not accepted. My friend ordered a coke and she got a root beer, but was still charged for it. Even though only two of us ate before others arrived, we did not receive a check. Later, the waitress (an eastern euorpean troll), stated that they could not give a check for both of us since other members of our party arrived. Despite the fact that it is common practice for the waitress to ask the customer for refills on soft drinks only if they are free, she seemed to "forget" to inform us that refills were not free and then charged us $1.50 per refill for a total of $7.50 (five drinks, and one was the wrong drink)! We had a coupon which allowed for two tepid burgers. One was $8.00 and the other $4.00 with the coupon. Of course, we were not given a check because by the time we left many others had come and they do not give out individual checks. We ended up paying $30 for what should have been $18.50. No itemized bill was presented to the two of us and the total was not presented. Moody's is too loud for proper communication and the lighting is too poor to even read the prices on the menu. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIP-OFF PLACE. Many other places have better burgers, better service, free refills (or at least they inform you) and will even give you a bill. With all these practices, I wonder if the IRS ever checks this place out.

    Moodys is the place to be. Big portions and low prices. The pitchers are huge and the fire places inside are the best.
    go check it out.
