This place is amazing....but we have been twice in 3 weeks and both times it has been closed. No wording on their website and the voicemail is garbled.

I don’t understand the hype. I waited over 45 minutes for a 2 burgers and 1 order of onion rings. The cheese wasn’t even fully meltedOn the burgers. The burgers were dripping grease and had too much garlic aioli. The onion rings were burnt and basically just eating a ring of grease. It was so bad, I’d have rather paid to Uber eats McDonald’s burgers to my house.

Best burger I have had in a really long time. The seating area is all outside. You order at the bar and pick up at a window. Parking is really hit or miss but the burgers make up for it.

Great greasy Smash burgers at a reasonable price. Dog friendly outdoor seating. Staff is inviting and grateful. If you don't like buttery grilled onions on your burger, steer away. If this is your thing, you have found a new weekly hang out.Menu is simple and no substitutions are allowed. This brings up the quality and expediency of service. Zero complaints and a full belly!

Smashburgers, beer, and loud punk rock music blasting out of the speakers. This place needs either a skateboard ramp or a video game arcade machine to really finish the vibe.
