A tight, fast smash-burger operation that wins on repeatable execution: thin patties, melted American, and a salty-sweet house sauce that stays consistent late. Best used as a decisive two-item order so everything lands hot and crisp, especially after midnight.

Insider tip: Skip customizing—order classic and add fries only if hungry.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited and competitive, especially after 7pm. Plan on walking, rideshare, or public transit.
Dress code: Ultra-casual — anything goes. Hoodies, jeans, post-bar fits all feel normal.
Noise level: Moderate to loud — music and kitchen noise dominate; conversation is fine standing shoulder-to-shoulder but not intimate.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes late night; lines move fast due to limited menu and high throughput.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or under 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — fries only; no dedicated vegetarian burger option.
Vegan options: No — not a viable stop for vegan diners.
Gluten-free options: Limited — patties without bun are possible, but cross-contamination is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the goal is casual and quick. It’s better as a low-pressure stop than a place to linger or talk deeply.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s minimal seating and no reservations. Expect counter or standing space; eat-and-go is the intended flow.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes in a practical sense — simple menu, fast service, and kid-appealing burgers — but space is tight and better for quick visits with older kids.
Best For
Better for: Late-night reliability, speed, and consistency when you want a classic smash burger without thinking.
Skip if: You want a sit-down burger experience, customization, or options for dietary restrictions.
