    Prickly pear Soda. Nice choice
    Benjamin T.

    Runner for the best Smash burger in the DMV. Came here on a Sunday at 3PM and there was a line out the door before they opened. This location is where corn beef king is located. They were out of the fries and I will have to try them next time. They have three different types of burgers. Each one gets better with more patties and sauce. Just go with the Goonzinator 17$. The Bubba $13, will hit the spot and you have to get the crispy bacon as it adds the extra crispness you need with the caramelized onions and house sauce. The Smack $10 is okay but the Bubba has that bacon that elevates the experience. I'm not one who normally opts for a bacon burger but you have to with this burger. The kitchen is run efficiently and that probably why they are always out of fries. They do fine with the burgers. The prickly pear soda is a great choice of beverage to have on the menu. Hype is low key with a lot of locals and some who drove from the district and out of county for the experience they saw on tik tok and IG. Outdoor seating with maybe four chairs inside with heaters. This ghost kitchen needs to expand soon! Easy 5/5

    Usually I'm not one to chase after viral items but I love me a good smash burger. Place is located in the same storefront as Corned beef king and Pizza Monkey. Due to it being so popular we actually went before opening and they did start accepting orders around 6:55PM. Shortly after ordering there was a pretty long line by 7:04PM and stayed long even after we left. The ordering is done through the one cashier (not where it has the open sign) and you let them know which restaurant you're ordering for. After they take your order, you wait until they call your name and then go up to pay at the same window. It took us about 35 minutes to get our burgers (and we were like the 8th person in line?), so be prepared for a wait. We got the smack (two patties) and bubba (3 parties and bacon). We devoured them in less than 5 minutes. They were covered in the house sauce which is basically a cheese sauce. It's a pretty solid smash burger and I would say it is worth the hype. They're currently out of fries until Weds so just be aware if you were planning to order a combo or fries.

    Service is horrible, they stand around while people are waiting to order. Food smelled great but the service wasn't at par

    Burgers are amazing! They are not available on Mondays or Tuesdays. And the tallow fries are worth it!

    Is a very good burger, but I went when it was hyped so it was a little slow. And they close on weird day so I will try again soon.

    Would recommend (general). Stopped by for a really quick lunch-to-go. You can order online or…read morein-person, no drive-thru. They have a pretty extensive menu of different burgers, whether you want one or two patties, and many options for the sides. I ordered the All-American Double Burger, with Regular Smash Fries loaded with cheese & bacon. During the time I went, wasn't barely any line but it took a little minute to make my order, had me wondering a little bit. But I finally got my order, and honestly, I think it was worth the wait. The burger was constructed well, tender patties, soft bread buns, and not too much ketchup as well. The fries had nice thick cuts of bacon along with the cheese, which I think they may have overdid if I am being honest (the cheese I mean). But they were good imo, just might warn that it may overwhelm if you don't like too much cheese (Rating: 8.3/10) They have so many specialty burgers to try ranging from the Avocado Bacon Ranch to the BBQ Bacon Double and more, but for the sake of the review I wanted to get the standard burger choice (rather than let a bad specialty choice ruin the holistic review of the establishment). Their burgers are on-par and have good standards to build off of. Would recommend rather than other fast food chains if you are in the mood for a burger.
