What makes it special: Smash-style burgers built for delivery, with crisp-edged patties and straightforward topping combinations.
Who should go: Smash-burger fans prioritizing speed, delivery and low prices.
When to visit: Peak lunch or late-night cravings when you need delivery.

Insider tip: Order double-patty versions if you like a meatier bite; single patties are thin by design.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is scarce in this part of Midtown East; rely on nearby paid garages if picking up takeout.
Dress code: No dress code — ultra-casual and delivery-focused; office attire or streetwear is the norm.
Noise level: Low, as most orders are takeout or delivery; brief counter interactions only.
Weekend wait: Typically no wait; orders are fulfilled on a delivery-first basis with modest prep times.
Weekday lunch: Short waits for pickup (5–10 minutes) but delivery can spike slightly during peak office hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited — usually a grilled cheese or veggie-style build depending on the menu cycle.
Vegan options: Very limited — no dedicated vegan patty; modifications may remove key components.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free buns; cross-contact is likely due to compact prep spaces.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal — it’s delivery-driven and designed for quick, casual meals rather than sit-down ambiance.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s little or no dine-in seating; plan for takeout or delivery rather than staying on-site.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids who enjoy burgers, but since seating is minimal, it’s best for takeout meals at home or the hotel.
Best For
Better for: A fast, crisp-edged smash burger at one of the lowest price points in the area, especially for delivery-heavy diners.
Skip if: You want a dine-in experience, thicker patties, or robust dietary accommodations like vegan or gluten-free options.
