    Smash burger done right. This bodega smash burger is aka uncle Pete's cafe. Also, I enjoyed the ranch. The burger comes with onions, pickle and mustard and it's cooked perfectly. The restaurant is very nice and clean great decor and the staff are friendly. Try Bodega Smash Burger

    Delicious! Great customer service and the food was great. Found this hidden gem and will be returning. Need to return to try their regular food items and loved the chill vibes.

    rude server stay clear of this place!

    Bodega Smash Burger is inside a place called Uncle Pete's Diner. We were a little confused at first but the address matched and we went inside to ask. Staff was friendly and informed us we were in the right place. Service was good and quick. Burgers were solid and crinkle fries were really good. Onion rings were pretty good and my son had an Oreo shake that was tasty too. I would give 5 stars but it was on the pricey side for a couple burgers and sides & one shake. Total came to $45+ incl tax.

    This was supposed to be a smashed cheese burger. It was good, but not what I'd ordered.

    Safe! Okay, let me explain.... I was craving a smashed burger, not to be confused with SmashBurger. Lots of burger joints offer smash burgers. The traditional burger with a smashed thin patty cooked up. When I saw Bodega Burger I called to ask about their smashed burgers and it was explained to me that it was part of a hidden menu. I couldn't wait to try this, so I packed up the family and headed to Uncle Pete's Cage. Upon entering I noticed the place had a decent headcount. Lots of folks enjoying the food. Quaint atmosphere and a solid mix of Johnny Cash and Elvis playing. I approached the counter and asked for the Bodega Burger menu. I received a completely separate menu from the otherwise known Uncle Pete's Cafe menu, so cool!!! As you would expect, I ordered the smash burger, I received a double cheese burger, good, but not smashed. The chili fries were good too. Service was above average as our drinks were kept full, napkins, regular check-ins, all spot on. One thing made me uncomfortable was the off duty server that stood inches away from the prepared food to talk with working servers. Her hair was flying about and she was breathing on orders ready to be served. It was a decent experience even though none of us received the smashed burgers we ordered, ingredients were missed, and the silverware places setting we requested never showed up.

    Smash burger and fries.

    I'm not going to give a bad review and will definitely try it again buuuttt....ordered chili cheese fries and got regular cold fries . The burger was great though. Again, imma try again because I really want to try the chili cheese fries and the fruity pebbles shake.

    Celebrating our 22 yrs Anniversary today and we were craving a burger. It's not our typical romantic Anniversary dinner but this was perfect. We order the burger, zucchini, wings and chili fries. Service here at Pete's Cafe was amazing.

Gigi was an absolute sweetheart and made the experience THAT much better. Love that they fry their items in beef tallow.

Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been!

I ordered the Western Bacon Cheezburger Combo, with Onion Rings as my side, and, a Raspberry Iced Tea as my drink. The place was busy-ish, with people eating their food. It's outdoor seating, only, which presents its own challenges when there's a wind blowing. But, I digress. Aside from maybe a couple people conversing, and, the music playing, not to mention skaters from the neighboring skate park rolling up, and/or out, it's relatively quiet. Just as an aside: That wasn't a complaint. In fact, it's primo Real Estate being next door to a Skate Park, as far as I'm concerned. My food was ready in about 12 minutes or so, which was nice. My burger was bigger than the last couple of burgers I've eaten fairly recently , which was great. Definitely tastier than the last couple of burgers I've had. I'll have to eat here a couple more times to truly give it a final verdict, but, I was pleased with my burger. I have yet to give a mention of my onion rings, so, here goes: This is how Onion Rings should be done! Golden Brown, and, not Orange. Tasty, for sure! Overall, like I said, I'm pleased with my experience. I'll have to eat here at least once more to truly get a feel(taste) for their food, but, like I said, I'm pleased.

The order process was pretty simple -- I responded to their Instagram story and they reached out with follow-up questions, menu options, and pickup details. The pickup was from a home residence in the city of Garden Grove (off of Brookhurst Street and Hazard Avenue), nearby Pho 79 if you're familiar with the area. The exact address is provided with your order! The owner, Aamir, was very friendly and professional when I picked up my food and the burgers were packaged very neatly in separate boxes. I ordered two smash burgers that included three patties each, which cost $15 per burger. They included caramelized onions and jalapenos, which were a delightful surprise. The patties were a little salty, but upon reading the other reviews, I see that the owner pre-marinates the patty meat. The prices were also steep for just the burger, and I thought my order would come with fries on the side, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food. All in all, I would return for future orders and would love to see them open a brick-and-mortar restaurant someday, ideally in Garden Grove still. 10/10 rating and five stars all around for a seamless ordering experience, delicious food, and timeless customer service.

The owner is super responsive, and you can tell he wants to provide the best service possible. During this special pop-up event, they were serving two's a tango that features their warm brioche bun along with two halal patties smashed with cheese and carmelized onions on top. The burger itself was massive, with one being more than enough to feed a hungry person. After talking to the owner, he mentioned he pre-marinates his meat, so that could be the reason why the taste was a little salty for us. The sauce is awesome and complimentary, so when ordering, if you don't plan on eating the burger right away, to prevent sogginess, ask for extra on the side. I know some people prefer the meatiness, but I am a sauce type of girl. Overall, the flavors of the burger meshed well! Thank you for adding another place for halal goodness. I'm hoping you guys do well and keep quality up.

We ended up getting the Bulgogi burger, a bacon cheeseburger, some onion rings, and a carne asada fry. Ok. The food doesn't photograph well for your instagram, but it's delicious. Lemme tell ya - after an early morning of flying, we inhaled this food. Would absolutely come back. Was good enough that we're considering skipping dinner at the park The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a good mix of table sizes for everyone. Saw a table near us order the chicken teriyaki plate and it looked delicious as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.
