I was disappointed, it was just like shaved beef. Egg was good. Everything not bad, but in my opinion could have been better. Husband tried the kimchirito, or kimchi burrito. He said it was fine, enjoyed it but won't seek it out again due to the off-the-wall fusion of flavors. He did say it was nice to be able to sit at the bar and have a cold beer while he waited for our take out order. Our child tried an order of gyoza which were great! She also liked the seasoned tater tots that came with her dad's burrito. Might come back to try the actual Kalbi rib plate.

The concept of the two restaurants is very similar. Same, same, but different. As far as price goes they're really decent. Go ahead, get the guac or the cheese; they won't charge you for it. Service was fast, restaurant inside is warm but I got mine to eat at the comfort of my own dining table. For what it is they're doing a good job. Some things that could be better: some of the beans have a little more crunch texture and it'd be nice if the pickled red onions were pickled longer to the point they're tamer and the flesh has become pink. All in all I still like being able to get somewhat pickled red onions on my food. For a Chipotle alternative (love it or hate it) the place fairs very well.

Within 20 minutes of walking in, we were seated, served coffee and water, placed our order, and received our meals.

The experience was so impressive that we returned the next day to see whether it had been a fluke; it was not. The staff was just as friendly and efficient, and while the breakfast sandwich we added was delicious, I couldn't resist ordering another heavenly waffle. I strolled by the kitchen, a couple of times, to try and look to see what magic they were performing in the background, but their secret sauce is the people who work there!

I was just craving a burger and I just pass by the store and decided to get one. I ordered a Classic Smash Burger and that's take-out since I'm running late for my errands. They made it very fast and since I was in a hurry, I didn't check the burger if they got me the correct order. While driving, I decided to take a bite and realize that it was way too far from a classic smash burger, it has mushrooms, and personally, I just don't eat mushrooms. I was so disappointed, especially since I'm currently craving a burger. Though it's somehow on me because I failed to check if they got me my order right before living, it's more on them that they should check the order before giving it to their customer. It could have been 5 star since I like it that they made my order very fast but for now, No 5 stars. read more

Burger is one of my go to food. So, I found this SMASHBURGER that offered different variety of burgers. And I really enjoyed my Smoked Bacon Brisket Burger, the food was pretty good! I had the burger that was juicy and yummy! The preparation of the food is kinda slow, I've waited for 20 minutes before my order came. But all in all, I enjoyed my food and it's all good and I want my family to try the food you offered so that I can recommend it with my friends. read more

Either that or common sense took a vacation from the cold in Anchorage. Cashier was very helpful despite my clown like behavior. KETO Burger!!! Very pleasing to the eye, wrapped in a generous amount of crunchy iceberg,boom, could have used more sauce, but I'm a sauce kind of clown, plenty to get from the condiment bar. Nice crunchy bacon, boom, she said mustard was absent had to get my own. Over all not bad, certainly not the best in Anchorage like a previous reviewer, that was obviously may or may not be connected to the restaurant .... Hmm what am I some kind of a clown? A few tips to improve the burger, add on the tomato pickles and onions. Also burn a brand into the lettuce like the buns, would be way cool. And don't be afraid to sauce it up, some of us Keto types need a lot of taste to combat the boring taste of iceberg. Take heed, the clown has spoken,

The hostess had a mean look on her face toward me as I wiped the table down with a baby wipe. The macaroni and cheese came out less than warm and lacking in flavor. We got two deserts. One a brownie over a sugar cookie and the other a lemon cake. The lemon cake was served topped in strawberry's in liquid unlike the picture of it, and while the flavor was good it was ultra dry. I think the strawberries were to cover up the dryness. The brownie was also dry. The good: they have fries safe for my allergy baby to eat, they have kids menus and high chairs. Chicken tenders were basic but came out hot. My favorite though was probably the ranch because it was pretty top tier quality for us ranch lovers out there. Overall service needs an improvement, and food is basic but not incredible.
