Tiny spot with a chill vibe. But, it's out of my way. Who cares?! It's worth the trip. Burgers are great but not enough people are talking about the fries. Amazing. Everything is just right.Dietary restrictions: My family has a severe allergic reaction to seafood. The folks here were very accommodating and everything went well.

Vegetarian options: No decent vegetarian options, but then again why would you go to a place called the MEAT UP grill if you are a vegetarian?

So good. Everything on the menu is delicious. Especially the grilled chicken sandwich and the shakes. The kids love the grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries that are just the right amount of crispiness. Bonus - they have pinball machines.

Great little burger spot with good sides! Yummy onion rings and fries, great atmosphere. Barely saw anyone working, but it was a slow time when we went in. Great addition to Rockaway!

The place is great for beach food. But the portions are very small. It's also quite pricey. I spent $30.00 there and it felt like I just had holy Communion. Honestly I had to ask the cashier if what she brought to my table were appetizers. Luckily on said day there exists a Pizza ? store next door and I was able to calm the storm from the pangs in my belly. The staff was great. But I will not be returning. It's great if you're into Small portions. But I get the feeling of waiting on a flight and heading to the bar and ordering a meal and they give you the mini burgers and chicken sandwich sliders... Lord...

I recently visited this restaurant during a work break with a friend, hoping to try something new. I ordered a chicken burger and tenders, my usual go-to choices, and was pleased with their unique flavors. Unlike the typical fast-food chicken options, these had their own distinctive taste.The food arrived promptly, and the pricing was reasonable. The only minor inconvenience was that the burgers didn't automatically come with fries; you had to order them separately. The atmosphere was comfortable, though somewhat generic. The chairs were sturdy, and while the tables were on the smaller side, I understood that it's not a high-end restaurant.Importantly, the food tasted fresh and not like it had been sitting around. I'd definitely consider returning and recommend it to those looking for a better meal than typical fast-food options like Popeyes or McDonald's. Quick service, tasty food, and a decent environment made it a satisfying visit.

Great place for a smash burger after a day at Rockaway Beach. Tasty burgers. Filling shakes. Amazing fries. Mostly a good deal, but the shakes were a bit on the expensive side.

Location: 3/5Service: 4/5- Similar to shake shack but better. Got the lunch combo (cheeseburger w/ crinkled fries) for $11-12, amazing value. Food came in 5-10 minutes and was hot and fresh. Burger came in a soft brioche-like bun and well cooked patty (slightly pink in the middle- just perfect). Fries were crispy and hot. Everything seasoned well. Highly recommend.Cleanliness: 4/5Would I return? Yes

Top notch service. Excellent food. I got the Mr. Crunch chicken sandwich and it was so juicy and amazing. Shared some chipwrecked fries which were equally as good. Had a slushy which was tasty and sampled the crack pb&j bar which was great for a nice little lunch dessert. Cannot stress enough how friendly the employees all were. This place is a 5 star gem!!
