A no‑frills smash‑burger joint turning out crisp, charred double cheeseburgers and fries — ideal for late‑night cravings when bigger spots close. It’s fast, inexpensive, and consistently delivers when you just want a solid burger without fuss.

Who should go: Anyone craving cheap, hearty burgers post‑midnight.

What to order: Double Cheeseburger, fries, house sauce.
Insider tip: Stand‑up spot only — go hungry and grab the double cheeseburger for max value.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is available but can be difficult to find after 9 PM, especially on weekends. No valet service.
Dress code: Casual — anything from jeans to sweats works. It's a laid-back, no-frills spot.
Noise level: Moderate — you can still chat, but it's best for a quick bite rather than long conversations.
Weekend wait: No wait, but expect a short line right after midnight when the late-night crowd shows up.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, it's mostly a late-night spot.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — there's no dedicated vegetarian menu, but the fries and some sauces can work for vegetarians.
Vegan options: No vegan options available — all burgers contain meat and dairy.
Gluten-free options: Not officially gluten-free, and cross-contamination is possible due to the shared prep space.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It's not ideal for a first date if you're looking for an intimate, quiet experience. It's a quick, casual spot best suited for late-night cravings rather than romantic encounters.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations, and seating is limited to stand-up counters. It's a grab-and-go experience, so no need to worry about booking ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? It's fine for older kids, but there's no real seating area, so younger children may struggle with the standing-only setup. It's best suited for older kids or teens who can handle the quick, casual vibe.
Best For
Better for: Better than competitors for quick, affordable, late-night burgers when other places have closed. The no-frills, efficient service is perfect for satisfying a late-night craving without the wait.
Skip if: Skip if you're looking for a sit-down experience or a place to spend hours chatting. There are no tables, and it’s a grab-and-go style that’s better suited for people on the move.
