Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated parking; rely on nearby Union Square garages or metered street parking. Street spots can be scarce during peak hours.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, t-shirts, and everyday wear are all fine.
Noise level: Moderate; counter-service bustle but you can carry on a conversation without strain.
Weekend wait: 10–15 minutes at peak; counter turnover is fairly quick.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes during the noon rush; usually no wait after 1:30pm.

Vegan options: Yes—signature vegan green burger is a dedicated option.
Gluten-free options: Limited—no dedicated gluten-free buns; fries may share oil.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s more of a quick, casual counter-service stop than a date spot. Better for a grab-and-go or casual meet-up.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t accepted. Seating is first-come, first-served and turnover is quick.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—straightforward burgers and fries work well for kids, but note the seating is limited and geared more toward fast meals than lingering.
Best For
Better for: Budget-friendly smash burgers and a standout vegan option near Union Square without frills.
Skip if: Skip if you want a sit-down dining experience, craft cocktails, or gourmet-style burgers—other downtown spots better fit those needs.
