I think i've eaten her 3x now and I'm always happy with how our burgers turn out. they give you a knife if you need it, and its such a great burger. I'm curious to see how it is at the Chula location. They also just started a new loyalty program, they gave us a punch card so we definitely will be returning more often if possible. It's a great spot to hang out casually, there are pinballs, games, and a pool table that you can play at. Great selection of beer and spirits. I think this is a great spot for happy hour too!

RAHHHHH GOD BLESS AMERICA…read more THIS BURGER WAS SO GOOOOOD. The buns were perfectly toasted, reminded me of smash burger buns. Applewood bacon was absolutely amazing, the sweet flavor was very needed and they give quite a lot (tasted some in every bite). Patties were FAT, overall moist but can be dry in some areas. Onions were really well caramelized and sweet. Not sure what crack cocaine they put into the sauce but it was amazing too. Fries were very crispy and very well seasoned. The family workers were super nice, excellent service, and just very fun to talk to. The overall vibe is very cozy and the decorations were really cute. Also had cornhole. AMAZING SPOT

The kitchen is also outside so it's similar to a farmer market set up. I ordered an onion bacon cheese burger and was surprised but how juicy the burger was.

Recommend you order ahead and pick up while the storefront is still being built.

(: There's nothing supporting the local businesses. Here the business is supporting the consumer. These gentleman cook their foods with beef tallow and are very candid about what touched what. Then the best part the flavors. Boom! That's what this review is being read for. The burgers hit. The peppers give the burger a little kick, spice, and boom! As if the meat, egg, and sauces weren't enough. The peppers gave me that little launch into flavor heaven. Cloud 9 isn't enough to describe how good the meal was. Plus did I mention the crew is supporting you and your health. BOOM! (:

We placed our order with the friendly guys of this food stand and were given a beeper that would beep when our food is ready. We didn't wait that long before our food was ready. The burgers looked exactly how a smash burger should look, the edges of the patty sufficiently thin and crisp, and the buns were warm and had the right shine to them. The fries also look very good. Overall, the meal looked stunning.

This is always a great sign. The manager, Ben, is awesome. He greeted us and added us to the waitlist. We were seated after 10mins of waiting in a great spot. Our favorite server, Nathan, is a lead now. We were seated in Matt's area and he was our server. Nathan came by to say hi and greet us, this is excellent customer service here. Matt was also great and customer service oriented and he took our order for table apps and drinks. The ambiance here is fun, family friendly, cool, and good vibes all around. They have a DJ some Saturdays. There are also very cool theme nights. Tonight was "Wing Wednesday". I posted a photo of the theme nights. For example, Thursday is Teachers 15% Discount Day and Karaoke. The walls, seating, and table decor is very nice. The design element here is wonderful. Our food: Bulgogi Fries App for the table starter, Fish and Chips, Chicken Katsu Plate, Side Order of Garlic Fried Rice, And 10 (4 Salted Pepper, 2 BBQ, 2 Sweet Chili, 2 Buffalo) of the $2 each wings. The food was great! The vibe is awesome, and the overall experience was great. We also got a chance to talk to Ben the Manager, Nathan the lead server, and Matt our server tonight. They all came to check on us to make sure that everything was going well in our dining experience. We HIGHLY recommend stopping here to enjoy a great dining experience.

The first time we went I ordered the garlic green beans which were actually no longer on the menu. They were quite tasty. I also ordered a side of fried chicken which was also good. The second time we went I got the chicken wings and the side ceaser salad. The wings were not crispy enough and there was zero flavor in the breading. The salad was boring. Hubby got the cobb salad which was a large portion but otherwise just ok. note that there is no outdoor seating so leave Fido home. Probably would not bother coming back here.

We didn't realize the sausage party already included pretzel bites so we had double the amount of pretzels, our server failed to mention this to us. The food was unfortunately extra greasy, we felt so sick with all the grease that we couldn't finish it. The "pretzel" bites tasted like slices bread soaked in oil. The sausages were also all covered in oil. I would not have paid regular price for this food. Aside from that, staff was super nice. I just think they could improve on the amount of oil they use in their food!

We had not seen him in at least 8-9 years, and at the University Avenue location back then. We ordered: 1 Small Gyro Salad (comes with warm pita bread, 1 4oz Cheeseburger Combo with fries and a drink, and 1 Bodega Sub (Chopped hamburger meat and cheese with fries, and 3 fountain drinks. Total was $57 + tip. Our food was prepared well. There was one issue, the owner who took our order forgot to let the cooking staff know that my Husband did not want mustard & ketchup on his chopped bodega sub. So, they had to remake the sub, which delayed us from eating together about 7-9 minutes. It was okay, they apologized to us and the owner took responsibility for messing up the order. This is a great location and we will still come back. They are a nice business and the food is delicious.

Coming back last night and seeing all the changes was pretty neat! The owner, Sarah, came out to greet us and personally took care of us, which made the experience feel even more special. I ordered the single burger, and my buddy went with the sliders. Both were solid not dry at all, and you could really taste the great quality of the meat. Sarah shared with us that she and her husband source their beef directly from Monterrey, Mexico, just three hours from the Texas border (you can even fly straight there from the TJ airport!). The meat is grass-fed and hormone-free, and it definitely shows in the flavor and juiciness of the patties. My single burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the truffle fries were amazing crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned. I love supporting local spots like this, especially when you can feel the passion behind what they do. Thanks for the great night, Sarah and the Lopez family can't wait to come back soon
