If you love smash burgers, you gotta check this place out! Everything is cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The staff is super friendly and the place packs a lot of good vibes in a somewhat small space. I can see this being a little cramped on busy days so shoot for odd hours and week days. Parking can be tough right out front but there's a large public lot behind the bank across the street, if you don't mind the walk. Otherwise you may want to dust off the parallel parking skills and try your luck with finding a place on the main street.
I ordered The Bae and it was perfect through and through. The bun was soft but substantial enough to hold up to the toppings. The patties were cooked perfectly crispy and had great flavor. The cheese was nice and melty and it all works so well combined with the sauce, pickles, and caramelized onions. It was served fresh off the grill so every bite was warm and melty til the very end. My only complaint was that it didn't last long enough and that is purely my fault for not savoring it more. I do wish they would've offered just a littleee more caramelized onions as I found myself searching for them in most bites and I think that led to me eating the burger faster. Totally nitpicky and personal preference so not something I would ding them for. I also was rather starved by the time I arrived here so I would've likely scarfed down everything anyway.
My husband ordered the GBB and we agreed to trade bites as we were both torn between the options when ordering. I loveddd that they seemed to chop the bacon up to mix it throughout the cheese while cooking so that every bite had some. I would definitely add bacon to my burger next time because it was cooked perfectly and complimented it so well. I also really liked the white cheddar and garlic aioli used for this option. Honestly, it would be a hard tie between the GBB and Bae next visit. I didn't find it heavy on the garlic so I feel like even those who aren't the biggest fan of the flavor (such as myself on most occasions) to be pleasantly surprised with this one. The flavors are well balanced and honestly these burgers are so nice and crispy, you could probably serve them up however you see fit and still have a winner.
We decided to share the garlic parmesan fries and sampled a side of spicy ranch, ranch, and garlic aioli with them. The fries surprised me by being a bit thicker than the standard fast food french fry many places use. I wasn't expecting much as I'm not a big fan of those but *these*... they are what regular fries should dream of growing up to be! They were so crispy and well seasoned. And that ever so slightly thicker cut made all the difference. I will likely hold other fries to these standards going forward and I doubt any will be able to compare. As for the sauces... also fire! I believe I read they are made in house and they certainly know what they're doing here. I loved that the spicy ranch had a spice that didn't blow out your palate but still had a little kick that could be noticed right at the end. The regular ranch was full of flavor as well and the garlic aoili was good too, if you're into a more mayo style sauce for dipping. I'm not one to usually go for the thicker sauces but it works well with these fries. I believe the spicy ranch would be my winner, though.
All in all, you can't go wrong with anything this place offers so follow your heart. Or should I say stomach? It was one of those meals where you already want another before you finish it. I will certainly be back for more!
*side note to address the elephant in the room about these attached photos... not my best work as I was in a rush to chow down and the lighting was a little shadowy. I'll just have to go back to try again!
