“The veggie burger was nothing short of amazing. It was cooked just right and had tons of seasoning — so yummy! The cheese made everything pop and I could just go on eating, but my stomach made me stop. The fries were also amazing with a nice hint of salt and crispness! I could've made a meal just out of the fries!” - Yelp Review

“The burgers here slap. I'm not usually a fan of the smash burger style but it was good. We're talking charry USDA lean beef, thick crunchy pickles, the veggie salad stuff, a healthy shmear of housemade signature sauce, and cheese. So much cheese. And the chili cheese fries... so good! Easily the best part of the meal.” - Yelp Review
