I've had many burgers. This smash burger is the best. No need to add or take away and the bun is the most soft and makes it even better. The hot chicken sandwich rivals the best in town. Have a look at the size. Perfect heat with honey, and the Cole slaw was good too. Try the sauce flight with the fries. Amazing food. Hot girl chicken is fantastic. Gf except for bun. So crunchy. Fries are good and you only need one order with sandwich, comes in shareable bowl. Funky interior! Has outside seatin...

Amazing food. Hot girl chicken is fantastic. Gf except for bun. So crunchy. Fries are good and you only need one order with sandwich, comes in shareable bowl. Funky interior! Has outside seating for better weather. Order at counter. My photo is half the chx with no bun.

This place has the best darn fried chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time! And the hot sauce version was even better! Definitely try the spicy Queen Beans, so savory and delicious I could have made a meal out of them.

Burgers are great...don't change your bun!! Get some raw onions and jalapeños, haha. Service I gave a 5, however the only service is bringing you the food, with that said staff was nice and welcoming. Order at the bar...bus your table, but I'm ok with that. They have their own flair...go check them out.

Hail Mary full of TASTE! Wow, my eagerness to try this place was completely justified. I strongly recommend visiting with at least 4 people so you can try a bit of everything. The flavor combinations are powerful and exciting yet balanced and familiar.
