Meanwhile, owner (Isaac) delivers a personal touch and pride of ownership that is unparalleled. Place is spotless and staff offers phenomenal customer service with a smile. Isaac gives his patrons numerous options. There's the classics done well with high quality ingredients and the phenomenal cultural twists to burgers, chicken sandwiches and even corn dogs. I haven't had a corn dog in forever. This was some kind of tempura-ish fried coating (with a little sweetness to the batter) that I've never seen coupled with a hot dog. I can't wait to go back for the Doritos version. Burger Kraze has already done one promotion for my son's elementary that was a huge hit. The change away from using peanut oil helps broaden the options for those that couldn't enjoy before. Just shows that Isaac has a pulse on the community and that's the touch that you can only find from a local small business owner. Cheers to the success as it's well-deserved for the Rutgers alumni!

The Kraze Cheeseburger is an excellent choice, featuring a flavorful burger sauce that makes it especially memorable. The Bulgogi Burger is another standout, with its spicy mayo bulgogi sauce adding a bold and satisfying kick. The mini Korean corn dog was delicious, and the cheese-filled Potato Corn Dog was outstanding: mozzarella wrapped in a flavorful dough, rolled in diced potatoes, and fried to crisp perfection. The side options are also well worth trying, especially the fries, truffle Parmesan fries, and onion rings. Overall, this is a restaurant I would gladly return to, and I am looking forward to trying the chicken sandwiches next time.

Hey Burger is located inside of a tavern- when you walk in, it is a bar with some tables. We brought the menus outside and ordered. My orders included wings (8) and the smash burger.

No extra cost which is nice. Also added Tater Tots in lieu of their fries & a beverage. It was very filling overall, tots were nice & crispy as they should be. Burger itself was a bit over seasoned / perhaps too salty. I did try the burger patties to confirm it wasn't just the bacon. Perhaps it was just a few extra shakes of their seasoning (I'll have to try that burger again to confirm). I also do want to try the chicken sandy's next time & reg fries. Plus their fry sauce (forgot to ask for it). And the frozen custard. Whew so much work to do ;) Inside it was bright & clean, I do see how it may be a bit loud when it's busy though (I went midweek at 2 pm). Will add that to the review when I go at a busier time. Service was fine given it was no where near full. Note that it doesn't have a drive thru.

We ordered the fish tacos, birria tacos, and kettle-style potato chips--and every plate came out looking as good as it tasted. The fish tacos were beautifully assembled, piled high with crisp, fresh slaw that added the perfect crunch to the tender, flaky fish underneath. Light, clean, and balanced. The birria tacos were the star of the table. Rich, deeply seasoned meat tucked into perfectly griddled shells, served with a savory dipping broth that takes each bite to another level. Messy in the best way possible--and completely worth it. Even the kettle-style potato chips stood out. Thick-cut, golden, and topped with just the right amount of flavor to make them more than just a side--they held their own next to the tacos. The overall experience ties everything together: polished yet relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, and dishes that clearly have intention behind them. It's the kind of place where you can tell care is put into both the food and the experience. Atlantic House isn't just a good meal--it's a spot you'll want to come back to, and one I'd recommend without hesitation.
