THE HUB American
The delicious burgers
and fries, like the #1
Hub Burger with white
cheddar and special
sauce, and seasonal
focus at the former
Farm Burger in the Red
Hill Shopping Center
haven’t changed, but
the addition of an array
of big salads like Thai
spinach and keto cobb
necessitated a rebranding. The chicken burger
with sriracha-chile
mayo is a new fave. 882
