Tried the cheeseburger and was pleasantly surprised. The portion was generous and definitely filling. The standout for me was the mayo-based dressing—they’ve got something unique going on there, and I’m really curious about what they put in it. That said, I did find myself wishing for a bit more tartness to help balance out the richness and cut through the grease. Overall, a solid burger with great potential—just needs a bit more zing.

Cute little hole in the wall but gets a bit hot, smokey and crowded. Hard to find parking but still worth it! We order online and grab & go. Love these burgers! Special sauce, sweet buns, simple & delicious! Definitely recommend. There's something special about these. You will crave them.

First, let me tell you, this is an excellent burger, probable the best I’ve had in a while! The dining area is a little small, so hard to get a table, and the patio closes at 2:00. Service is friendly and food comes out quick. I had a double with fries and I was stuffed! Give them a try, you definitely will not regret having a burger here!

Absolutely the best smash burger in the area! Simple, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Pair it with a shot of reposado tequila or whiskey, and it’s a flavorful experience!

Hands down the best burger joint we’ve ever been to! Words cannot describe the combination of flavor. The only thing I wish is that I could’ve eaten more…or taken this place back home with me! The perfect and cap to our trip!

Visiting from out of town and may have found the best smash burger on the planet. We even tried the vegetarian option, which sounds blasphemous but was legit. Definitely will be back.
