    Was at the local farmers market and saw this had a pop-up, with a limited menu, but the gentleman said they have a physical storefront, just a couple blocks away, so I decided to walk over and check out the full menu. It was so cute inside, very casual feeling and attached to the bar next-door, with a swinging western saloon style door to get from one side to the other lol The girl at the counter was super sweet, the menu is pretty stacked with options and I just wanted to play it simple, so I got a double cheeseburger with their special sauce on the side, and I added some grilled onions and tostones. Honestly, it was delicious, I love a good smashburger and this one was done right, a bit charred on the outside, but still tender on the inside, and the sauce was yummy The prices are reasonable, too, I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area again

    My friends and I stopped in here before a concert at Kia center. It was on the route between where we parked and the stadium. Considering it was a sold out concert we were shocked this restaurant was completely empty - even more so once we tried the food! We each got a different burger and all agreed they were amazing. They were greasy and flavorful. The upgrade to a meal is very reasonable and the helping of fries was generous. The employee was incredibly kind, working with a couple unusual requests for customization (including changing out the beef patty for a chicken patty for one friend with a distaste for red meat). She was enthusiastic and even offered to come around the counter and take a photo of our group. The restaurant is a vibe. So fun and cute! You do have to go through into the bar next door to use the bathroom. There is an interior doorway between the two restaurants, but it's a bit far for a bathroom and a little awkward to have to walk through the bar.

    Drove 35 minutes to come here because the reviews seemed decent and someone said their vegetarian option was good. Ive never been so disappointed. The regular Papis OG burger was good but not worth coming again. My vegetarian Papis OG burger had 3 tiny slivers of onion, two pickles on one side of the burger and the patty itself was just not good. It had hard pieces of rice in it. I got yuca fries and they tasted slightly under cooked. The garlic sauce was fire though. The crinkle fries could have been cooked just a minute longer as well. After paying $37?? I think that's including a tip, it just wasn't worth it for me. I've 100% have had better. Customer service was fine, nothing amazing. Not super friendly either. The booth seats are absolutely disgusting with crumbs and debris. I wouldn't recommend.

    The best part about this experience was that we went right when it was about to close (30 mins give or take) and our service was just as good as if it was the middle of a shift. They were so friendly and nice and let us take our time deciding, as it was our first time there. The smash burger TOTALLY hit the spot. I love the vibe of this place! it has a fun photo area and the music was amazing. I look forward to going back and trying more of their offerings. It was yummy yummy!

    So glad this is where we stumbled into for dinner! Honestly, the employee, a woman (I should have gotten her name) who was working the counter was potentially the best customer service employee I've interacted with in a long time. She was excited to give recommendations, she was taking orders, running orders, clearing tables, interacting with everyone...just amazing all around. Now the food: so good! The burger flavors were not what I would have put together myself but they were so good. I could have kept eating! It was fresh, flavorful and just the right dinner size. We made one of our orders a meal and then split the burgers! Such a good idea!

    The food was good the burgers had great season and were juicy! The coquito rum milkshake was really good! The service was not bad all made to order. The place was good. Bar next door, the only part that was meh was the bathrooms were in the bar and the bathroom had no toilet paper.

    I love that this place is open late hours. My Smashburger was delicious, my yucca fries were the bomb. I will most definitely be back next time I'm in town. The staff was very friendly and nice, and accommodating. I love the music, literally you could walk over from the dining area and go dancing and get some drinks. Everything seemed clean, and it didn't take long for them to bring my food out. As I mentioned, I will definitely be back!

    Man, I waited to come back here after 2 years and giving it another shot because my first experience wasn't the best. Today, I was in a hurry so I decided to get the OG as a combo with fries and a soda. I got it to go, the guy at the register was very friendly and nice. I got my meal within 10 mins and rushed back up to my office to eat it before my next call. Once again...my burger was burnt. The patty's were charred, the onions were charred, and the buns were charred. Needless to say, I took 2 bites and threw it away. I really wanted to like this spot because the reviews are always good. Idk why I have such bad luck, but I'm done here. There are far better more consistently good smash burgers in Orlando.

    Whats better than a smash burger? A smash burger with crinkle cut fries and cheese! This place is lowkey giving dive and the vibes are hipster but the food quality is so good. I used to go to shake shake for a smash burger until I found this place. Great for a quick pop in but sometimes I come in and while I eat, I get some work done or take a meeting since its right downtown. Burger is always cooked to perfection, never dry!

    Had to stop by before heading back to California and one of the best smash burgers we have had. The service is fast and friendly with a fun atmosphere.

    Is that the secret to the great flavor?

    The best smash burger I've had in all my travels, not just Orlando. I went with a double with just cheese and bacon so I could tell how good the meat was. Let me tell you that it's fantastic. They have I sign that says the burgers are smashed in wagyu tallow. I don't know if that's where the flavor comes from but whatever they are doing it's working. The patties are very thin so next time I'm either getting a triple or two burgers. Very tasty bacon and a soft bun that kind of smashes down as you hold it. Those are the best in my opinion. Fries are very good crinkle cut variety and the shake was also good. Friendly staff and you could get in and out quickly if you're in a hurry as my food came out in just a few minutes. Definitely a five star worthy burger experience. Clean place with a Miami vibe.

    My friends and I came by in the last 30 minutes before closing and still had great service and our food came out quickly. I had tried the food before at an event and didn't even realize they had a brick and mortar. If you can get past the difficult parking situation that downtown always creates, this is such a cute little place and the food is excellent! Honestly, this is one of my favorite burgers in Orlando, the burgers melt in your mouth! I had an OG smash and it hit the spot. The fries were a little overcooked, but not a big deal because they were still seasoned deliciously. I also love that they have Diet Coke in two different can sizes as well as as fountain... Looking out for us, Diet Coke girlies!!! You won't be disappointed by these burgers, I promise, and I can't wait to try their other creative variations on the OG as well as some yucca fries next time!

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

Loved the vibes too. Next time I go will definitely be to catch the live music. I've already recommended this place to friends.

They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price.

To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

The burger came out delicious. You have to add the house sauce to it. You won't regret it. The tenders are so crispy but maintain all their juiciness as well. As I write this review, I'm seriously considering going back for one or both. Nonetheless, go give it a try. There is an added bonus that the bar next door allows you to eat your food there and have a beverage or two.
