    Heard whispers of a new smash burger joint hiding out in Romoland like it's in witness protection--middle of nowhere vibes, but worth the mission!!! Pulled up and ordered the Triple Papa Smash, and let me tell you... this burger came in beefy like it had something to prove!! Exactly the kind of protein-packed chaos I signed up for. Then came the Papa Fries, basically a full meal disguised as a side. Loaded, jalapeño-spiked, and topped with Papa sauce, a smash patty and cheese because apparently moderation is not on the menu (bless them)!! No sir!!! Spot was clean, and they've got a drive-thru for those "I refuse to leave my car" days. Would I go back? Absolutely!!! I'd smash again, even if it means venturing back into the burger Bermuda Triangle!!!

    One day we woke up craving a smash burger! After what felt like an eternity searching, we finally landed on Papa Smash. We made the drive over and, to our surprise, there was no line in the drive-thru huge win! We placed our order, paid, and were on our merry way. We ordered two smash burgers, fries, and loaded fries. I do want to point out that it's a bit on the expensive side (in my opinion). Overall, the food was good the burgers and fries definitely hit the spot. It kind of gave In-N-Out vibes, which isn't a bad thing at all. It'll definitely satisfy a craving, but as far as being memorable... not quite. I think I just need to try more smash burger spots to compare.

    I'll start by saying don't sleep on this place just because it's connected to the gas station. The food is definitely worth stopping through. They are always patient and helpful anytime I go. I ordered a double smash burger and added bacon.. soooo good. The only issue I have is the lettuce can b a lil soggy but it doesn't take away from the deliciousness of the burger. And the fries are always crispy and salted just right. I got the papa fries which is like their version of animal fries and they were delicious as well... the prices are way too high but it's good food.

    It shows two pieces of bacon for 2.69 They only give you one.

    My daughter and I went and got 1 combo and a double burger and fire fry it was 47 dollars. I added bacon on both burgers the picture shows 2 pieces of bacon for 2.69 they put 1 piece on both burgers and folded it in half I asked the girl if we are supposed to get 2 pieces she said no that's just a picture . Still good food burgers got smaller false advertisement on the bacon last time I visit that place good luck they don't run the AC either signs of not doing well. I hope the owner takes accountability. It was good why it lasted. You got the last of my 50 bucks.

    The meat is soooo sooo good!!!!! Obsessed with the fries as well. Ordered it to go and although we less than 10 mins away the bread did get pretty soggy, just wished the buns were a bit thicker. Definitely a must try. In n out who?

    My favorite local spot to treat myself - the fire fries are my order every time! So filling, generous portions, and tastes fresh! Friendly staff as well!

    Papa Smash did not disappoint The Wagyu smash burger was absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly with that crispy edge you want. The fries were on point too, hot and seasoned just right. The spot itself was clean, had a cool vibe, and the customer service was solid--staff was friendly and quick. Only downside is parking can be a little tight since it's next to a gas station, but honestly it's worth the hassle. Definitely coming back

    $7 shake is a bit pricey , but definitely good

    A SOILD BURGER PLACE! 4.5 Papa smash has one of the best burgers for the price. I definitely recommend getting the upside down bun. It definitely makes the burger a different type of burger this burger place ranks at one of the best for the price. The french fries are crispy and different from anywhere else as well. A chocolate shake was a little pricey, but they are everywhere and was made with thrifty ice cream. And amazing

    Such a delicious smash burger. Flavor and freshness were top notch. Self ordering kiosk as available as well as a cashier. The establishment was super clean and convenient. Highly recommend

    Plastic lid. No way to put straw in. It is overfilled. So when you open the lid, it SPILLS OVER AND MAKES A MESS.

    Plastic lid. No way to put straw in. It is overfilled. So when you open the lid, it SPILLS OVER AND MAKES A MESS. Called them and suggest them that they should change it and they just make up a bs "safety" excuse for transport. Other restaurants were able to do so with normal lids, but okay, I guess they just don't realize those other kinds of lids existed. Their suggestion? Freeze it! I'm sorry, did I order ice cream? No. I wanted a milkshake. And then what? Wait for it to melt so it becomes a shake again and then spill over and make a mess? I wanted to eat my meal and have the shake, why would I wait for it to solidify? Ridiculous. As for the burger and fries. Nothing special.

The bartenders are awesome and really know how to work the crowd and nice people. I've also met some cool customers as well so I dig the place. There's a good band on Friday nights that does cover rock 'n' roll and they're quite good. I wish they serve their food from the restaurant they own next-door because there's more vegetarian options it is a cool place but I just wish they had more diversity in the beer they serve and maybe once in a while lower price points which I guess happens during happy hour. But, like I said, at the beginning, the staff is awesome and enjoyable to talk to. So, that makes frequent visits welcoming.

When we arrived in Perris, we were seated immediately it was about 4:30 on a Friday. I had been watching the Indiana Fever game and asked our server if he could put the game on the big screen TV in front of our table. He was on it and did immediately! Thank you Mathew! I ordered the Smash Burger (first time I ordered this) with Onion Rings and an IPA. The IPA came and it was ice cold and delicious! Once my Smash Burger arrived it was warm and pretty good. The onion rings were great! I probably won't ordered the burger again as I didn't think the price point matched the burger. But over all, not bad. Soft music played in the background and of course the Fever won the game, which was a good time at Septembers!

There was no wait for a booth, and the restaurant had a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with TVs throughout the dining room. The complimentary bread was warm, fluffy, and fresh. The cinnamon butter was tasty, though definitely on the sweeter side. The peanuts were exactly what you'd expect from Texas Roadhouse. For drinks, we tried the blue lemonade and strawberry lemonade. The blue lemonade tasted pretty similar to regular lemonade, but the free refills were a nice bonus. The strawberry lemonade was the standout and definitely worth ordering. We also tried the Dragonfruit Sparkler, which was fruity, refreshing, and one of the better specialty drinks on the menu. For entrees, the Herb Crusted Chicken Dinner was the clear winner. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and the corn on the side was surprisingly delicious. The Country Fried Chicken Dinner was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I've had better versions elsewhere, and even with the gravy it felt a little lacking in flavor. The fries were pretty standard. Another plus was the large parking lot and the reasonable prices. The portions were generous, and overall the meal felt like a good value for the money. A special shoutout to Candace for providing friendly and attentive service throughout our visit. Overall, Texas Roadhouse delivered a solid dining experience with good food, affordable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for the herb crusted chicken and strawberry lemonade.

He decided to give me the gift card this evening to enjoy a nice meal as our kiddos were at their grandparents and he was working. I ordered a $30+ meal the 6oz sirloin + shrimp and two sides. I got it to go so I could enjoy it at home. While I was waiting (I had arrived very close to the pickup time), I noticed an employee standing next to the driver's side of a car talking to the driver, who appeared to be an acquaintance. I could clearly overhear the conversation, and the employee was saying things that I found completely inappropriate to be discussing while standing right in front of the restaurant, even if it was technically in the parking lot. Two minutes before my pickup time, I went to the to-go window and received my food. When I got home, I realized my rolls didn't include the house butter. Whatever! It's not the end of the world. But worth noting as you would think this would be standard to provide. What became really problematic was the meal itself. I ordered my steak well done, but it arrived bleeding and wasn't even close to medium well. Why ask how I want my steak cooked if you aren't going to cook it that way? The shrimp was cold and incredibly salty. The potato? How do you get a potato wrong? Well, somehow they managed...it was stale and overly salty too. The broccoli I don't even think was steamed for more than a minute before you gave it "seasoning". The entire meal was awful and for $30?! Hahahaha I guess really the joke was on me for paying such an absurd amount but I really was expecting some quality somewhere. It just wasn't there all at. We still have money left on our gift card, but we'll be giving it away because we won't be coming back. I didn't even bother calling to complain because, judging by the quality of the food, I don't think a complaint would make any difference. I added a photo of my "well done steak".

It's in a shopping center with a big red sign on the outside, once inside the ambiance was very chill and the bar was inviting. We did decide to sit at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender. He gave us drink and food menus and I went with the cucumber fizzle which was right up my alley. My husband had one of there creative Old fashions and he really enjoyed his drink as well. We started with the Caviar Bites and Calamari, probably the best calamari I have had in quite a while. We also ordered the cavatelli mac and cheese which was very flavorful with the shishito pepper and parm and lastly we also had the Korean wings which were very meaty and full of flavor. I think that is something that stands out here is how much great flavors are packed in there dishes. The entire staff was friendly and the Chef was also very welcoming.
