Arrived on a Tuesday around 1:30. There was only a couple of people in line. Maybe 6 people, eating for their food. The restaurant is tiny, maybe 4 tables inside and more outside. Truffle fries, to share. A DH burger, fancy and a think single amboy style. After maybe 15 minutes the fries were brought out. Hot crispy shoe string fries topped with Parmesan cheese, truffle oil and mayonnaise mixed with black truffles. The fries were excellent and a perfect size for sharing. The thick burger with cheddar cheese, was for my daughter. She liked it. The DH burger was charred to perfection on the edge of the burger. Almost like a ring of char that sealed in the juices. It patty was cooked medium rare. The sweet caramelized onions and garlic mayo made for a perfect bite. Unfortunately the center of the burger was mealy and the bun became soggy. The edges wonderful, if only the entire burger had that char, it would have been perfect.
I saw that this is one of the highest rated burgers in the world. Really? Well I had to see for myself. Wisely, I ordered takeout - the classic burger. Showed up at 12:30 on a weekday and saw a line. The place is no frills. A few tables outside and inside. What stands out? Two sesame buns toasted; the blend of ingredients (meat, pickles, cheese, sauce) and the crispy edges of the burger. But not the best I've ever had (that would be Dudley Market). I also sampled their garlic fries which were very good. I'd come back and try another version.
Amboy is in the Far East Plaza right across from Howlin' Ray's. Do they have one of the best burgers in town? Well, LA is blessed with exceptional burgers and this one is in the conversation. DH: First, you pick the style of the burger. I got the DH, a hefty 10-ounce dry aged beef patty - medium rare. Next, you select the accompaniments. With the Amboy, there are caramelized onions, American cheese, sliced pickles, Amboy sauce, and a toasted sesame bun. The beef patty is thick and plump, extra crispy on the edge (maybe slightly too much so). It is a bit too salty on the outside, while needing a bit more seasoning inside. It's medium on the edges, but nice pink and juicy in the center. Also, 10 ounces is huge, you're probably better off with one of the smaller patties or going with a double. The fries are tin and really crispy. They're nice, get them.
Saw this place ranked in the top 10 burgers in the world and, being a lover of great food, I had to give it a try. So hopped in the car and drove over and got in line. First, the place is located right across from Howlin' Rays in Chinatown. So parking is all around, which is nice. There was a line, to be expected with a top 10 burger, but the line moved pretty fast. I ordered the Amboy DH burger, which is their dry aged patty with American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles and burger sauce on a sesame seed bun. To be ranked as high as it is, my expectations are through the roof and, because of that, it did not meet the expectations. The never is very good, very thick ass well, and the bun had great flavor. What threw it off, for me, was the pickles. The pickles just did not mesh with the other flavors. The pickle is just very potent and dampens all the other great things going on in each bite. Bites that did not have the pickle were so much better. So I would say to get it without the pickle and I feel it will be exponentially better. The being said, while it is a good burger, I feel there are others in LA that beat it in terms of flavo, but I'll put it in my top ten in LA for sure.
Recently being one of the top chatted spot for burger in town! Has seen people posting that thick juicy patty all over social media and obviously I didn't wanna miss out. Taking place in the same plaza as Howlin Rays and Lasita in Chinatown, you could certainly tell how busy it was in holiday and weekend. The line has constantly been long and despite there's online pre-order option, it's intermittently off and the price's marked-up. We took prolly good 30mins in the line but once the first bite of their DH Burger hit, it felt totally worth the wait. The medium rare dry aged patty was so juicy that you could even see as you sliced through it. Cooked medium rare certainly nailed it. That sesame bun people have been raving about was indeed so good being crispy and buttery; and their housemade Amboy sauce was just succulent! Made it even better, go for extra bacon for sure and get their fries on the side.
Food: If you're going to order the DH, I would suggest getting it Amboy style. The steakhouse was good but kind of too sweet. The patty itself was cooked perfectly, with a nice crisp in the ends. The amboy double smash was really good, I would add chilis to it next time for some spicy and acidity. The hotdog was all good amboy style. The bun was nice and crispy but the dog itself was average. My expectations for this place was 8/10 and the reality of it was also 8/10. Good but nothing blew my mind. Service: I think they need to hire one more person. The cashier was also serving the food so she was only taking 3 orders at a time, and then serving 2 orders after so the line took about 40 mins to order. She was doing amazing but I think it's a disservice to the customers and employees to have only 1 person running the front. Because of that, it makes me a little hesitant to come back.
Decedent burgers in a Chinatown strip mall. Went for lunch, got there about 20 minutes before they opened and glad I did. The line went about 30 deep when I turned around. Ordered the amboy DH, along with some cheese fries. Took about 15 minutes to come out. It was very rich and delicious. I'm glad the bun holds well with the sauce and melted cheese. The fries were pretty good too, but I don't think there was much room left in my stomach for fries. I'm not one who waits in line, but if I can get there a little early to beat the wait, would be happy to come back again.
Amboy has been on my radar for a bit, and then one of my Filipino coworkers found out it was Filipino, and then recently I had a lot of good press and then became a social media, darling, so it was finally time to try it! We're not far from the Chinatown location, but too far to walk/eat/walk back in time, so we ordered up DoorDash and it would still be relatively fresh by the time I got there. They are right across from my all-time favorite, Howlin' Ray's, so I know exactly where they're at, but I will have to get down there eventually and check out the ambience of the location and the service quality of the staff. Since it was my first time, I decided to go with the basic Amboy burger, so I could taste the base foundation; and even though I didn't think the fries would travel very well, I decided to get a small order of those, along with a chili dog so I could get a good base level sampling of the menu. Overall, with all the hype recently, I thought it was good, but not what I was expecting from the hype. I'll Order again though and try some more of the menu The portion sizes were good and very filling. The fries really need to be fried crispier because they were pretty flaccid and lifeless when they arrived. The bun was firmer than I anticipated it would be; fresh but somewhat dry. Maybe one of the burgers with the juicy or toppings would help. The hotdog was large and stuck at each end of the bun, probably 3 inches, the chili I liked better than Tommy burgers and overall it was a decent hot dog, but I would love to try fresh at the store one day. One of my Filipino coworkers loved his meal, and the other was just 'eh', but overall we enjoyed it and we would eat it again.
Believe the hype this place is legit. All of the press that claimed this restaurant was one of the best for hamburgers were correct. I got the DH which is the dry aged thick burger. It was so juicy my hands were wet. Thankfully there was a public restroom near the restaurant. They don't validate parking, the only downside.
Burgers in Chinatown? Sure, why not. Howlin' Rays sells chicken sandwiches just steps across the narrow courtyard/alley from Amboy. There is some metered street parking available and a giant lot across the street but the lot may cost $10 or more. You have to scan the QR Code to find out. Are the burgers here worth they hype? I would say yes. The meat and the buns are very high quality. The DH burgers costs a stiff $21 but it's a huge fat patty, caramelized onions, cheese, and a little sloppy with the burger sauce (but in a good way). The meat is very juicy and flavorful. It is a delicious beast. The rest of the burgers they offer are smash burgers (single for $10) and the quality of the meat and buns are excellent. That is a very good price for this burger. We tried the cheese fries, too, and they were very nice. They are ordinary looking fries with house made cheese melted throughout them. For $8, you get a huge pile of them and plenty to share. They weren't extraordinary but they were still very good. The sauce is not incredibly flavorful but I liked it well enough. You will probably wait a while after you order so settle in. There was almost no line during our visit (mid-afternoon on a Sunday) but they take their time preparing your order. For quality food such as this, I am fine with it. The line for Howlin' Rays was relatively short and I was tempted to ditch my burger dreams for chicken but I am glad I didn't. These burgers are legit.
LOVE!! NO NOTES. The most perfect burger so good! I normally miss the veggies in the burger if there aren't any but this burger was soooo good that it truly did not feel needed. Also the French fries. Fireeeeeee. I prefer them plain and they were perfect. All the girls working are so friendly and nice too. Wish I lived closer. The only thing is the space is v small and harder to get a bigger party together.
A pretty good meal here! I got the single fancy smash burger, and it was good. It came on a toasted Sesame Bun, Classic Thinly Smashed Patty, Provolone Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Garlic Aioli sauce and it blended together well. The garlic fries topped with Garlic Confit Oil, Fresh Garlic, Parsley, and Garlic Mayo was very good and tasted fresh and hot! I wanted to add bacon to my burger but NOT for $5 dollars. That's way over price for bacon on any burger. Customer service was ok. This location is right across from the famous howlin rays chicken in the same building the far east plaza. You can actually take the metro and exit chinatown and walk 2-3 blocks and you're there which is nice.
So many reviews of Amboy having the best burger in LA.. let's just say the hype is real. I came to Amboy during the work week and the line/wait time was long (I think most regulars order online for pick up). As for the food let's get into it: - Amboy Burger (7/10) We ordered this with the dry aged patty. Really good burger but wasn't worth the $30 dollars or whatever it was. - The Fancy (10/10) We also ordered this with the dry aged patty, but a much more elevated burger. The garlic confit mayo with caramelized onions was the best combination, def one of the best burgers I've had in California. - Chili Cheese Fries (7.5/10) Delicious, but I probably wouldn't order again. Overall a great experience. I wouldn't want to do that wait again so I'll probably order online or come 10 minutes before they open. Would I go again? Absolutely!
This place has delicious items to choose from! The last time I went, I got the Amboy Slim Thicc, which had a toasted sesame seeded bun, American cheese, pickles, burger sauce, caramelized onions, and a Slim Thicc 1/3 lb patty! That was a mouthful and it really was a filling meal! I also got the Truffle Fries, which came with 24 month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano topped with truffle aioli. It complemented the burger so well. It was cool because at the joint, you could spin a wheel for a fun reward! I highly recommend this place and the great hospitality within it! Check it out sometime! read more

First time here with the bf on his lunch break. Found it by chance via Yelp and it was walking distance from the A (blue) metro line. The service was amazing everyone was so friendly! The ambiance was nice. It reminds me of those old school Delhi's you see in the movies. It inside itself was small but plenty of seatings outside. Now the food...OMG the food was delicious! Definitely bf approved cuz he's a picky eater. He got the Amboy double smashed burger and I got the steakhouse double smashed burger and we shared the chili cheese fries. The burger was cooked perfectly u can taste the toastyliness of the buns and the crispiness of the patty. I usually dont care too much for chili cheese fries but this was pretty good. It has a slight sweetness to the chili and I felt the fries was also cooked perfectly. Not over cooked and not under cooked. Oh and the table next too us I guess ordered way too many fries and gave us a basket. Definitely the bf and I will come back again to try the other stuff. read more
The burgers are legit. Big n Meaty at fair price. Don't sleep on the hot dogs which may be better. Hole in the wall shop with 4 tables inside maybe 6 outside. Service is sufficient, no frill get the job done. No ice lol. We were checking out the menu outside and a customer was waving us in reassuringly. This is a blue collar hang out, bunch of dudes in workshirts eating well. So to speak. Ive been here once before a long time ago, but I remember it now. Will be back for a dog tour of the menu, Chili is legit. read more

Is the hype real? That was the thought running through my mind as I was walking up to Amboy. As an L.A resident I have a love/hate relationship with foodie places. I love that we live in such a food rich city but I hate how popularity can equate to insane wait times. I had been wanting to try Amboy for awhile now but I kinda wanted to wait for the hype to die down. So I waited for about 15 mins and before finally making it inside. I went with a steakhouse DH burger and cheese fries. First off let me start with the fries. They were fried fresh and the cheese sauce had the perfect consistency of thick enough but still saucy. My burger upon first glance was a work of art, almost too pretty to eat. I took one bite and immediately thought to myself this is the real deal. I haven't at some of the finest restaurants around the world but at the same time can appreciate life simplicities like a good burger and This is the top of the line. Now seating is a whole different animal, but take a chance because it's definitely worth it if you're looking for a top notch burger. read more

Went here on a Saturday for lunch to try the smashburger said to be one of the best burgers in LA. I went for the Amboy burger option. And it was delicious on a fluffy toasted sesame bun, patty was juicy, flavorful with the melted cheese and grilled caramelized onions. Single patty was $10 and double patty would be $12. The staff was nice but service was slow. Perhaps because it was a weekend, I was in line for 30 mins to order and waited another 20 mins for the burger. I found out afterwards there is option to order online. read more

One of my favorite burgers in LA. It was very juicy and thick, and has amazing quality! One thing I will say is line is a bit long and there's always not enough chairs. It's in a small spot in ChinaTown and wish there was more room for foodies to enjoy it. read more

Truffle Burger - Uuumami-mami, this burger was so savory. The sensational truffle and Parmesan cruncho really elevate the charred smash patties and make it a top tier yum-o burger. Fancy Burger - Meaty, cheesy, creamy. She a wet one, and her juices will be dripping down your arms. The classic double smash patties hit hard, but do yourself a solid and order it with the 6oz slim thicc patty. Thank me later. read more
This restaurant is located in a very random plaza in Chinatown. The same plaza as Howlin Ray's. Parking is a paid lot attached to the plaza. The attached parking structure had a very narrow entrance. It was not free. $2 per 20min, $10 max.There is very limited indoor dining, plenty of shared outdoor dining. The plaza's bathroom required a token or a quarter to enter. But that did not mean that the bathrooms were super clean; they were actually kind of gross-looking so I would only use if necessary. Garlic fries ($10): Creamy garlic aioli drizzled over thin cut fries. I would've liked the fries crispier, hotter. I wish there was more aioli on the side for dipping. Amboy Fancy DH burger ($21) was SO JUICY. I did not expect it to be so juicy given how thick the patty was, but clearly this place really knows how to cook a thick hamburger patty. I am a bigger fan of potato buns than sesame buns, but I did like how they toasted the bottom bun really well. I could not really taste any garlic flavor in the garlic aioli, but the provolone was nice and melted. Overall a good burger, but I am not sure that I would drive out of the way to eat it. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered at the counter, and the food was brought to my table. read more
I read an article about Amboy, and looked it up on Yelp. I was surprised at all the stellar, 5 star reviews. I was wondering how good can a burger be? Well I stopped by and picked up the fancy classic - the combination of caramelized onion, garlic and tart pickles with the smash patties just spoke to me. I normally do not eat in my car since the interior is white. Well, after about 90 seconds of smelling this burger, I had to pull over and eat it on the spot. It was rush hour and I was not going to wait till I got home in traffic. It is everything a burger should be. The sesame seed bun is light and adds great texture. The patties are both crispy and juicy. As mentioned the topics are just right. I got a cheese pull with my first bite. The decor of the shop is stylish. It stands out in the shopping center. Service was friendly and efficient. I wholeheartedly agree with the hype. It's great. read more

Amboy: The Best Burger in Los Angeles. No Debate. There are places you go to eat, and there are places that make you recalibrate your standards. For me, that place was Amboy in Chinatown. My teenage son has, at this point, tried what feels like every serious burger in reach. He doesn't hand out praise easily. His short list already included Fuku Burger in Las Vegas, Basin 141 found in Monrovia and Montrose, and Goldburger in Los Feliz. Each of those places earned their spot. So walking into Amboy, I wasn't expecting a clear winner. I was expecting another contender. It wasn't close. A burger sounds simple, but it's one of the most unforgiving foods to execute well. You're balancing fat, salt, heat, texture, and structure in a format that gives you almost no room for error. Smashburgers make that even tighter. The patty is thin, the cook is fast, and every decision shows up immediately in the bite. Too much pressure, too little heat, wrong timing, and you lose the crust or dry out the meat. There's no hiding. Amboy operates with precision. The sesame seed bun is the first signal. It's soft but not fragile, structured but not dominant. More importantly, it's proportioned correctly. Even with a single patty, the ratio feels exact. Most places get this wrong. Too much bread, and the burger feels bloated. Too little, and it falls apart. Here, it holds, compresses, and disappears at the right moment. The beef is well-composed and deliberate. The flavor comes through immediately. The crust is present but controlled, giving you texture without overwhelming the interior. The cheese doesn't sit on top, it melts into the system. It binds. The pickles, onions, sauces, everything is calibrated. Nothing is loud on its own, but together it becomes something far more powerful. You don't analyze it while eating. You just keep going. What I didn't expect was what happened across the table. No commentary. No overreaction. Just a pause, a look up, and a quiet agreement that this was operating at a different level. That's the test. Yes, there are a lot of great burgers out there. But this is the one that resets the bar. The one that makes even a high standard feel incomplete. If you care about burgers, go to Amboy. read more

Won't leave hungry I promise you. Got the DH burger and small fries. Even the fries are good. But the burger is the star of the show. Meaty, juicy, flavorful. Took about 15 mins for the DH which isn't bad. One of the best burgers I've had. It's up there with Moo's craft imo. read more

Amboy takes the win for best smashburger in LA! Flavor, quality ingredients, and a medium rare patty, what more could you ask for? A sesame bun! And that's exactly what you get with the Amboy burger. On top of the delicious food, their customer service is great. The cashier went through the menu, identifying most popular items, and customization tips. Another worker checked in on us while we were seated which was an unexpected plus at a casual burger establishment. I will definitely be returning, and trying their chili cheese fries which seemed to be a popular item from the tables around me. read more

This place is definitely a drive from me but I dream of their thick patty burger. It's seriously so good and juicy. Their service is great and they explain the meats and cuts so well. Perfect bun, perfect sized meat, perfectly juicy. So good! Chili cheese fries were delicious too. Only downside is the indoor seating but there is plenty of seats outside. read more

I got a double "slim thick" amboy burger. Really juicy and quality taste. The amboy sauce wasn't anything special in my opinion but did its job well. When you are essentially paying $20 for a burger you have high expectations. I'd say this just about meets those expectations though. The seating is sparse, the service could use a smile, but I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their other burger styles on the menu. read more
Phenomenal. The hype is real. In an ocean of overpriced ok burgers, this fairly priced delicious place stands out. An absolute gem in Chinatown. Everything is great. Just read the menu and pick whatever you're in the mood for. read more
Food: - Fancy Burger (5/5): The fancy burger was good. We got a double patty and split the burger with my bf, and it was still a good amount of food. The buns were crispy and fluffy, whilst the patties were flavorful and juicy. I liked the cheese, onions and garlic confit mayo that it comes with, it really enhanced the burger. One of the best artisan burgers I've had in LA. - Truffle fries (4/5): The fries were good, but a bit pricey for what it is. I liked the crispiness and the size (skinny) of the fry. The truffle sauce had good truffle flavor but I felt like it could've had freshly grated cheese and truffle on top. Service: 4/5 - The service was good and quick. After ordering, we got a number and self-seated ourselves at an open table. The food came relatively quick, maybe around 10 minutes, and the staff asked if we needed anything else. My bf wanted water, but weirdly this place doesn't have water nor sell still water. They sell soda and sparkling water, but I wish they had regular still/tap water available. Ambiance: 5/5 The restaurant is a nice, small restaurant with seating inside and outside. It was clean and the staff was quick to clean after the tables when guests were done. Overall, I liked dining here. I've been here twice, and would definitely come back again. read more

I finally made my way here since its been on my list since they first arrived. I just have to say this burger was STUPID GOOD! When a burger is good and are a certain price, I do not mind spending money on it. It's worth the price for me and meat is so meaty and juicy, no dryness at all. Will I come back? UMMM YES!! read more

The Amboy Classic was delicious. The restaurant gets busy, and seating is pretty limited, so ordering takeout is a great option if you want to avoid the crowds. read more
Ordered to go at 6:40pm on a Saturday and the estimated pickup time was 7pm. I checked at 6:50pm and the order was ready for pickup. The store itself is relatively small so I'd only advise eating there if you're a party of 2 or 3 max. There are a few inside tables and a very small outside (maybe two tables). I went with the truffle DH and it was great! I didn't get a chance to eat it until ~30 minutes later too. The burger was well wrapped and didn't stink up the car at all. As for the burger patty, it had a perfect char on the outer sides while still having a medium rare inside. The entire burger was not mushy at all and held up well even after sitting for 30 minutes, wrapped, with truffle aioli on it. The truffle was prominent and the burger overall was well salted. I wish I had got fries to go with the burger to round out the meal. I would imagine the burger is even better fresh! read more

Earlier this week, I was thinking about getting some Howlin' Rays, but when I went in front of the building, it was closed. Luckily, I walked a bit deeper into the plaza and saw Amboy, the burger place that is talked about all over social media as having one of the best burgers out there. So I had to try it, right? I had absolutely no idea what to get because I thought I was going to the restaurant next door, but luckily the kind fellow at the register helped guide me through what to order. He highly recommended the DH, which is the big huge party you see on social media, and with the fancy version. Fancy comes with garlic confit mayo, provolone cheese, caramelized onions, sliced pickles and on a bun that is loaded with sesame seeds. I also got bacon included in mine and let me tell you, the flavors go so well together. Not only that, the burger is so big and juicy that is definitely satiates the hunger one has from within. With the fries, they were really good as well, and idk why but the kind fellow also gave me some garlic aioli to use to dip my fries in that was pretty phenomenal as well. I'm pretty happy with coming here to check out their burgers unintentionally. I mean I've always wanted to come, but I just never actively made plans to do so. So I think this was a good coincidence that I'm really happy with. I like this place and hope others get to give it a try as well! read more
This place is amazing for hamburgers and fries. I had the dry aged DH and that was thick, tender and delicious. I added bacon and grilled onions which was amazing. It is a tad bit pricey but worth it. The fries we got are not great for travel for takeout and best had onsite fresh. The smash was also very good and my friends got many different fry combinations..the truffle seems to be the favorite though I prefer the garlic and the amboy fried were also very good. Very greasy so you'll need lots of napkins. While this place is poppin, it leads to a lack of seating that you'll have to find nearby from howlin' rays n elsewhere. The store is littered with many LA and foodie centric memorabilia like Anthony Bourdain to Johnathan gold. This place deserves it's Michelin guide. The staff was super nice and helpful in making the menu choices. read more

My boyfriend really wanted to get this place since we were in the area and I am so glad we did. My picture does not do this burger justice. I got the amboy single smash burger and this is one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life genuinely and I absolutely love how the bun reminds me of Raising Cane's toast, so good. My boyfriend got the fancy burger which I wish I had gotten as well because of the garlic aïoli, in which I'll just have to spin back next time I'm around! There was quite a wait with our order but the guy ringing us up who I'm assuming is the owner popped in an extra drink in our bag which I thought was so kind. There's good seating outside, it's a nice lil spot and the food is not only amazing but so much better priced than literally any other burger in LA county. read more
This place was pretty good! The truffle fries were soooo good that sauce was amazing. The Amboy DH was very thick and juicy and cooked well. The sauce on it was pretty good. The fancy slim thick lacked the garlic flavor I was looking for I didn't taste it at all but it was still a good burger. I would get a double patty next time and I want to go back to try it truffle style! The sauce is too good! The service was good too the employee walked us through everything. Limited seating as it is a very small spot but there's some tables in front of it. Overall a solid burger spot! read more
Thin burger, not that tasty I was in the neighborhood for a concert at LA Historic Park when I decided to try out Amboy. Ordered a double burger and was sorely disappointed. The patty was so thin (photo attached) that the double patty was still thinner than a single patty at less heralded burger spots. It was so thin that the patties broke apart in several places as I was taking a photo Service was good and the restaurant itself was clean and serviceable. But the food itself was lackluster read more

can't stop thinking about amboy! burgers so good, we were honestly debating walking around chinatown to get hungry enough for another. on a saturday afternoon, there was a steady stream of people, but not overwhelming and we didn't wait long for our food. yes, it was definitely pricy. yes, it was definitely worth it. the amboy dh was excellent, especially with a little drizzle of their ranch; the fancy dh, however, was exceptional. no notes! read more
Came here last week to their LA location, just found out the opened up on in west Covina ! The staff here was great! Super friendly & helpful. The burgers are so Yummyyy the sesame buns had a butter crispy bottom to them , the meat was cooked to perfection. Sooo much flavor in the sauce but didn't overpower the burger, you can still taste the quality of the meat the use. The cheese for the fries was also very delicious. We will be back! Can't wait to go back ! :) read more

I was hanging out in Chinatown in the evening and wanted a quick inexpensive meal. I love burgers so I stopped by to see what they had to offer. I ordered the regular smash cheeseburger with all the fixings. They brought out the burger in their outdoor patio area and it was love at first bite. The burger is very juicy and dripping with oily delicious cheese which is perfectly flavored. This is a happening area with other restaurants you can choose from including the famous hot chicken restaurant. read more

I was hoping to love this place since I'm in Chinatown quite a bit, but maybe I expected more. I had the Amboy DH because it said "dry aged", and YOLO! It was pretty delicious. Super meaty, super juicy, and the bun was great! But I probably can't say it was worth the price premium. I don't know that I can get twice the enjoyment out of a ~$25 burger than a $10-12 burger. I'd come back, but maybe not for the DH. read more

If the bun was left off would it be gluten free (I have celiac)? Is the chili gluten free? Is the fryer a dedicated fryer? See why I hate having celiac?!!
Are they doing walk up orders for weekday lunch burgers or is it only online?
Yes, they do walk ups!
