    Hands down better than in&out. Everything we ordered was amazing! Their burgers were good!! Cooked to perfection. Sauce, addicting with their fries!!!! I honestly love the fries on their own too. The dough bites were filled with chocolate / nutella? I wouldn't mind if they didn't have filling and just the powdered sugar on top. The price was good. Order at kiosk and they announce your order through the speakers which is great so you really know when it's ready They have seating both indoor and outdoor Parking in a shared plaza Place was bright and clean. Would go again and would love to try their milkshakes next time.

    I watched a YouTube video on this place and it looked so good that I had to put it on the top of my list. Walking in my eyes immediately started darting around.... They had really cool merch under glass, a big screen flashing cool pictures "see video", really cool signage, and overall it kind of had a 50's burger joint vibe but with a cool modern twist. They have a kiosk that you can order with, but I decided to order at the counter. The girl that helped us out was super nice too. We ordered a triple cheeseburger add grilled onion, 3 double cheeseburgers, 2 fries and 2 shakes. ($54.60!!!) The rundown: Fries are fried in tallow and the taste is amazing! "My one complaint is that they skimp on the amount they give you" taste 5 stars/ quantity 2 stars. "Note" I tried a side of their burger sauce with the fries... ummm... no, don't do it, stay away, do not pass go! "It does however, pair really well with the Berger" The burgers: look inexpensive until you put add ons "grilled onions $.75 extra." The burger gets expensive really quick and a triple cheeseburger is about the size of a regular burger. The taste was really good though especially with their house sauce but unfortunately the burger left me hungry. Taste 4 stars/ amount and value 2 stars tops. Milkshakes: Now if you are coming here for the milkshakes then you will be very very happy! The shakes are straight up delicious, home style shakes made to perfection. IMO the price, quality, and taste...5 stars all day long. Notes: Service is slow considering they were not to busy . The bathroom was disgusting! There was water all over the floor and a urinal stuck really bad, that didn't look like it had not been cleaned all day! Remember folks with employees are using this bathroom too and serving us food. 0 stars!

    Absolutely one of the best places to grab a cheeseburger! Every time I come here, the burger tastes exactly as good as the last time--it's always fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. I really appreciate how consistent they are because you know you're going to get a great meal every visit. The restaurant is also spotless and always smells fresh, which makes the whole dining experience even better. If you're craving a delicious cheeseburger, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!

    DOUBLE DOUGHBURGER, FRENCH FRIES
    Andre M.

    Super yummy smash burgers, I got the double which I personally think has a better meat to bread ratio compared to a single. The meal is worth it for its cheap price, which could be compared to In N Out. You can order online which makes it super easy and quick to pick up and go. However sometime through online order they have forgotten some items, so make sure to double check before you leave. Overall good and I have been back multiple times!

    On our let's drive around and try burgers in San Jose night this past 4th of July. We came out to North 1st St to try this spot out. Although I appreciate technology, when you visit a spot for the first time you want to be able to talk to an employee and maybe get some recommendations, suggestions. There was one employee on the floor, who never acknowledged us or asked to take our order since there was a large group at the tablet putting in their order. We order a regular cheeseburger and fries and went to sit outside to eat our food, the tables outside were dirty, not wiped down at all. The burger it self, was ok. The pictures that are posted on both instagram and on yelp were not what we got, which was disappointing. Maybe it was a flook and maybe will try it again some other time and it will be better.

    The service here is so slow. The staff are constantly talking to each other and they stop what they're doing when they talk to each other. Like hello, you're on the clock at work, save the conversations for later when it's not busy. One lady took 15 minutes to make a milkshake because she kept talking to one the her other male coworkers and each time they were talking she would stop scooping the ice cream and place the cup down. Besides the awful service, food was good. Got a double and a triple and the double is the perfect balance with all the ingredients and still being juicy. Triple was just too much meat and not enough add-ons.

    I just thought the food was alright. The burger looked good on the outside and it looked like there was a lot of meat but it was front-loaded. There also wasn't that much sauce either, which was disappointing. I also got the fries which were also kind of disappointing. They were crispy but didn't really taste like anything. It had salt and pepper but that was it. The food is good value but it's okay.

    Single Smash Burger + Fries

    I want to give this place another chance because I was unfamiliar with smashed burgers at the time. People were really hyped about this place and so I want to come here again. I was told that it's recommended to eat smashed burgers with at least two patties for a good bun to meat ratio. When I first came here, I ordered it with a single patty and now I see why I tasted too much from the bun than the meat. In my second visit, I do see not just the taste and quality of the food got better but also its representation. I do like how they wrap around burgers like that. The food papers display their logo, which is quite of an improvement. I mean it may have took them months to make it look like this. The fries taste better too probably because they improved their ways of seasoning them. My only issue is that just like my first visit from several months ago it's still hot inside probably they either didn't have AC installed yet or like a huge fan that some restaurants use. Hopefully they can do something about it in the future. However, it's not the point that I want to do a takeout because I live in Fremont and it takes about 20 minutes to get back home especially with all the traffic going on. Anyways, I heard that they're going to open multiple locations including Milpitas, which is closest to my home, in the future and that I'm looking forward to visiting there.

    It's a saddens me a bit to write this review. Here's why. I've actually had their burger sometimes back last year in a door dash delivery. It was quite late and this was one of the few places open when I wanted a non-franchise burger. I was blown away by it then. Crispy, charred, but full of beef flavor. I've always wanted to dine in since then and finally had a chance. It wasn't what it used to be. The burger was good, but not as I remembered. No crispy, beefy, caramelly maillard reaction I remembered was no where to be found. What distincts smash burger from a burger. It tasted more like a patty that was just pressed flat and cooked like a plain old burger. The Fries was carrying the whole experience. Nice, crispy, I think cooked in tallow. Full on flavor not just potato flavor. The experience I gotta say was subpar too. It wasn't too crowded, yet, it took me like 30 minutes to get the food. It was sparsely seated when I entered but a sizable crowd was forming by the time I got food, people waiting and frustrated for the food to come out. I ate inside but the service though wasn't rude, didn't seem as professional where it seemed like a high school kids's part time work though half the staff seemed much older than that. I gotta say if it wasn't for the fries, I might've given it a 2 stars. I really hope they'll be able to come back to the quality I've enjoyed before. Maybe I was just unlucky on the day.

    Small burger for the price. The smash burger wasn't crispy or anything so it felt like a thinner patty. I like In N Out better. No extra cost for things like grilled onions and you get lettuce and tomatoes too.

    Anna N.

    We got to try their single patty and double patty & saucy fries. I love that you can watch them make your burger at the window. They definitely use fresh ingredients in their burgers and their sauce really elevates the burger. The fries were great by itself but even better with their sauce. It gives me thousand island vibes~ They were pretty busy when we went which was at 5:30pm, despite that we didn't have to wait to long for our food! They have an outdoor and indoor seating which is nice. Their interior is cool, love how the floor and walls are plaster with red/white colors. Def a vibe

    Double smash and smash fries

    We are talking about the best smash burger in San Jose imo right now . The food has been extraordinary for now over a years worth of visits and consistent enough to me for I to rave about it . I always go double smash with the default toppings set for it . The smash fries are really something tho. Hot and well salted fries crispy loaded with cheese , their burger sauce , and pickles / meat patty. Really something else . I Will continue to be a frequenter here lol . Tip : ordering from kiosks there are very straight forward and easy.the associates and staff are very sweet and there is a bathroom that is tidy and well Maintained, just ask for code !

    First time here and came on a tuesday afternoon and it was pretty busy around 4 o'clock. I wasn't impressed with their service. I did have to clean my own table from outside which looked like it hasnt been cleaned for days and wait time was over 30mins. As for the food, I got the triple burger and everything on it and it was good.

This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

The menu is extensive with a mix of options (including a vegetarian burger). I ordered El Apto which came with a beef patty, bacon, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato...all between a brioche bun. This came with fries and a side of pineapple sauce and apto sauce. I dipped my fries in the apto sauce and it was so good! The pineapple sauce goes well in the burger and also on the fries. The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!

They are seemingly ordinary looking, in the heart of Downtown San Jose, but you are kindly greeted by staff at the front counter when you enter. They are patient and explain the menu items to you. And when your order comes, they have this knowingness, as though they let you in on a secret, "There you go. Do you want the spicy orange sauce?" Yas! The friendly personalities of the staff seem to be a standout. Go here to satisfy your wagyu smash burger hankerings. They are so flavorful and juicy, and well worth the visit! At grand opening, my husband and I were able to spark up a conversation with the owner. He had such a welcoming, amiable quality naming the other fellow smash burger joints in the area that he himself would recommend trying. It was then that we learned about his use of New School American Cheese, which they use for the burgers. This American cheese aspires to use premium quality ingredients that allow for a sexy melt that oozes on the smash burgers in an unprocessed sort of way. I find this to be a critical decision, and is one of the reasons why I continue to go here! But my review today really has to be for the Jumbo Ripper which I ordered with the tater tots. The hot dog is deep fried in beef tallow, creating a juicy snap to the hot dog. The tater tots had that excellent crunch factor. Dress both of them up either in ketchup or their Spicy "6" Sauce -- or both! Yeah! Just go here and try it! :D

From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and making a reservation about a month in advance definitely paid off since the restaurant was packed.

The peach salad with friend goat cheese (YUM!) was really fresh and bright, a nice lighter dish to balance out everything else. I also had a glass of rose. For mains, we had the Prime Ribeye and the 7oz Harris Ranch Prime Filet, both cooked exactly how we asked and full of flavor. We shared a bottle of Duckhorn cab, and I appreciated that their wine list felt reasonably priced for the quality. We corked what we didn't finished and took it home.
