There are surprises at every turn at S&B's Burger Joint, and I always look forward to visiting and trying something new. Though pricing is high, I feel the quality of the burgers is worth the money and the expansion of my waistline.

The beauty of Sauced on Paseo is that you can get whatever you want on a single slice. Tasty, made-to-order slices coupled with a one-of-a-kind atmosphere make Sauced on Paseo a great place to hang out.

Ludivine’s “farm-to-table” concept means their ever-changing menu is almost completely made up of foods that are grown or raised locally. Theirs is a bold, creative approach combining fresh and often eccentric ingredients with a trendy, vibrant atmosphere.
