Carl OG3 (Ojisan) Burger Shop

The hamburgers were okay but I don’t know if it’s worth waiting 50min for. Too slow. it’s yakiniku restaurant, no hamburger restaurant atmosphere. I liked the The One better than The Classic Cheese Buthers. The bathroom is clean and they have changin station. Even though the service was slow, the waiter was explaining what he is doing each time and it was nice.

Smash burger shop during day time only. (Japanese menu in the evenings.) Delicious and sizeable burgers. You can add a double patty but these things are honestly big enough with the single patty. Shared a basket of fries between three of us. They do have parking and they do take out. On a previous visit I had the kimchee burger which was super ono.

There was only one staff waiting on tables, bussing the after lunch crowd table and cashiering. He did an awesome job and was very friendly and polite. The burgers are so yummy and the OG3 fries delish 😋 small place and tight parking.

Run inside a yakiniku restaurant. Only one server but he did a great job, even when busy! Burger was delicious, I got the wagyu deluxe and my friend got the kanaka smash. Both were great!

A friend of mine recommended this place for lunch and I had no idea what it was all about. Never heard of it. So often we went and boy were the burgers tasty. I got the OG Smashburger with an extra patty and that was quite satisfying. The patty could’ve used a little more salt, but overall I enjoyed it very much. My friend got the kimchi Smashburger and that too was delicious. Just be prepared to get a little messy. And be sure to order a basket of fries to share. The service service was great and things weren’t too busy when we got there a little after 12:30 PM. There is parking available in the front, otherwise you’ll have to find street parking in the area. This place pops up inside BBQ Yoshi, so if you dine in, you’ll be eating at yakiniku tables. This place is definitely a treat, and the prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be back. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

My partner and I go here every time we get a craving for a FANTASTIC burger and perfectly hot fries. I have never once had a bad bite from here. We both get the classic OG3 and add a second patty and I get two meals out of my big burger. Its just high-quality food for a very fair price, prepared and served by good people.

We randomly found this spot and it’s a banger! We got their Portuguese sausage burger and it was so delicious. Very flavorful with the special sauce and the mustard and cheese. I couldn’t eat it faster! The fries were so good and if you’re anything like me and my fiancé, you like hella sauce on your fries (they deliver on that). Their sauce is slightly sweet which balances so well with the saltiness of the fries and bacon jam. The service was excellent, very quick and our server was incredibly sweet. This is now my favorite burger spot on the island and I will definitely come back.

This place is so random lol (it shares a location with a Japanese steakhouse), but yummy! It was busy when we and there and there was one guy handling everything that wasn’t cooking. **he deserves a raise** This guy was fantastic and was incredibly kind. I took a star off cause my burger was kinda cold, yummy, but sure with the craze it just sat for a while.

We got there after the lunch crowd. There was only one person waiting on tables, bussing the tables and cashiering. Very nice boy and very polite even though he was the only one. Cute quaint restaurant. May 10 tables. So it's a burger joint during the day and a tepanyaki at night. Burgers was so yummy hubby had the OG3 cheese burger and I went with the wagyu cheese burger. You gotta get the OG3 fries I really like the mural on the wall in the parking lot. It's so pretty Parking lot holds maybe 6 to 7 cars. It was our town adventure for the day

This is the best burger I've had ever. If you haven't had it this is it. It's a must try , meat is very fresh , clean ingredients. Fries are made and cut fresh made to order. The burger buns I just can't describe it , you gotta try it for yourself. Meat just melts in your mouth. Online ordering is preferred. Good service as well. Very very clean restaurant.

Their signature burger with the tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, and special sauce was worth the visit - easily one of my favorite burger stops on O'ahu that I'd recommend people check out - Miguel Morales Photography

Located right inside Yoshi BBQ. Eat in or take out. Online order is available. Free parking. Difference between OG3 and Wagyu burger is the type of patty used. Food is phenomenal. Fries nice and crispy. Casual spot. Not your average burger joint.

BBQ Yoshi is so good, so I knew Carl Og3 burgers were going to be outstanding. The concept- a lunchtime burger pop up. Same location as BBQ Yoshi, just during the day time. They have a small menu of options. The burger is just perfect. Smash burger that's so juicy and full of flavor. They know how to do their meats! Great fries too. Ordering is easy to do online. I would plan ahead as it takes a little bit of time to prepare. There is parking in their lot.

The best burger I've ever had was in Nara, Japan. But I have to say, after trying The One here in Honolulu, I might have to change my mind. I don't think we would have ever found this place had it not been for our local friend on the island. He knows all the good spots! It's basically a Japanese burger shop in the daytime and a Japanese BBQ place at night. But this isn't just your ordinary burger - there is just flavor after flavor after flavor! The One is their signature Burger and it will not disappoint. It's 100% premium American wagyu beef, tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, American cheese, onion, and their special sauce on a soft, chewy, fluffy bun. Oh, and their fries! So crispy, so potato-y, it was the best crinkle fries in history. Try The One basket fries and share it with your crew. So good! The sweet Japanese lady in charge of this hamburger goodness is so sweet, attentive and proud of her menu. We ate here twice on our 7 day trip, and can't wait to come back to have it again! Come and get it! To be honest, I kind of wanted to gate keep this place, so it isn't overrun with tourists. Honestly, I might delete this post later. If you found this review - lucky you!

Honolulu is sleeping on this spot. I don't know why they don't have their chili burger/ chili dog on the menu but you can definitely order it!!! Only open for lunch but I almost never need dinner after eating there anyway so it's a win win.

I was told by a friend that these are the best burgers on island. I finally found some time on a weekday lunch to be able to try some, and I'm glad I did! My friend and I shared the one and cheeseburger deluxe with a basket of fries. These burgers were mean, and I'm glad we shared to get a taste of both types of burgers. I don't really know how to describe the ones, but it was bursting with flavor and has a spicy touch to it. The cheeseburger deluxe was good to enjoy a classic burger. We came for a later lunch, so there was parking in their lot. I could definitely see it getting crowded during lunch time though. Our server was super nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here! I wish they had longer hours for when their burgers are sold though!

We wanted a smash burger for lunch, so we had to decide between trying some place new or going to our usual place, The D****. One of the guys heard good things about Carl OG3 so he placed our order online and went to pick it up. Haha, he went to the location on Amana Street and learned that Carl OG3 moved to Young St. They now occupy space within Japanese B.B.Q. Yoshi on Young Street, behind what I still call the First Interstate Building. He brought back our food but by the time he returned, my burger was at room temperature and the fries were not crispy. Those two are on us, not the restaurant. Three of us ordered "The One", a Snake River Farms 100% premium American wagyu beef patty, tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, American cheese, onion, jalapeno, & special sauce in a soft bun ($14.49). We each added an order of fries ($2.99). The fourth person ordered The Classic Cheeseburger ($8.99) and fries ($2.99). Our thoughts: Those of us that ordered "The One" thought that the tomato bacon jam and slices of jalapeno overwhelmed the meat. We couldn't taste the Wagyu beef. We opined that a second patty was needed to offset the intense flavors of the toppings, but that would increase the price to $20.99. The person that ordered The Classic Cheeseburger liked his sandwich; he gave Carl OG3 a rating of 4; I rated it 3. When one compares The Classic Cheeseburger and fries from Carl OG3 versus a similar order from The D***, the cost tips in favor of Carl OG3 significantly, $11.89 versus $16. Are we willing to drive to pick up burgers versus a 5-minute walk? That question remains unanswered ...

We came here for a late lunch and we were pretty amazed with how great the burgers are! My friend and I both ordered the wagyu cheeseburger deluxe and shared a basket of fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful! It was dripping a lot because of how juicy it was haha. It was seasoned nicely and overall just a great smash burger. The fries were crinkle cut and they were nice and crispy. The service was a bit slow but that's because there was only one server. But he did a great job trying to attend to all tables since the restaurant was pretty full! He even checked up on us a lot to ask how we were doing so that was nice. I would definitely come here again!

Located in a shared space of a Japanese restaurant with no permanent sign. But you know you're at the right place w the Og3 logos everywhere. And you can't miss mural of Mount Fuji in the parking lot. Friendly staff and food made to order so please be patient bc it's worth your wait. Just come in with someone to catch up with and time will go bye real fast My husband got the wagyu burger and I got the cheeseburger and added bacon. Burgers are bursting with flavor from the fresh burger, sauce and soft toasted bun. The bun reminded me of a giant Hawaiian roll all buttered and toasted. We shared a basket of the Og3 fries. Make sure you get the Og3 fries *chefs kiss* The sauce was delicious with their jam (a medley of bacon and other burger condiments marinated together) and their crinkle fries were crisp to perfection. We will definitely return!

Carl and Sean/Shaun/Shawn were closed for Super Bowl Sunday (I missed the IG memo)c but they were SO kind to accommodate me and my friends for a to-go order when we swung by in hopes of dining in. We didn't order a couple of burgers either, we ordered 6 burgers and they provided. The Wagyu cheeseburger deluxe is my absolutely favorite and too good to pass up if you have the opportunity to try it! It is easy to miss since there is no sign that says Carl Og3 Burger Shop; instead, they share the space with Japanese BBQ Yoshi (who operates at night), so don't drive pass these amazing chefs and delicious burger joint!

The restaurant is very clean and the ambiance is nice and relaxing with nice calming music being played. It wasn't very crowded. Took almost an hour for our food to be brought out to us. There were 2 other parties that came after us and they were finished before we even got our food. Our server needed to be prompted to give us napkins. The food was ok, nothing spectacular Probably won't be recommending or returning.

Great tasting grass fed and Wagyu smash burgers!!! Crispy crinkle fries is perfect! Even the hamburger buns is tasty! Best to preorder or you might have to wait at least 20min. Parking can be a challenge and is right in front of the restaurant or street parking. There's no sign but it's inside the Japanese BBQ Yoshi restaurant. You won't be disappointed and will come back again like I did!

Wow, such a SOLID burger place! Dropped by during work to pick up lunch and there were quite a bit of people inside so getting my burger took a while. The staff is super friendly and took my order relatively quickly so I sat at the bar to wait a bit. It looks like the inside is a Japanese bbq place and even though it was a smidge packed, it was pretty quiet. I ordered the fried kimchee burger and added an egg (yes, in this economy) and a basket of fries. The fries were still hot and crispy by the time I got home but the burger. The BURGER. I know when I have a proper burger when I have to break out a proper hunch to eat the burger. It's so soft and juicy and the flavors were absolutely on point. The bun was nice and soft, the patty and the cheese were so good, the kimchee brought just the right amount of spice and acidity, and the egg tied it all together. Will definitely be back to get more burgers but will order in advance next time!

First time going here and I was confused by the exterior of the burger shop since it didn't seem like a burger shop. I was crvaing for a burger and saw this place on Google Maps. Thankfully, I saw the burger shop sign on an a-frame in front of the shop which let me know I was at the right spot. Please also keep in the mind that the shop hours listed in front of the shop are inaccurate and that the hours of operation you find online (such as on Yelp) are correct. :) Wagyu cheeseburger ($11.99): Smashburger with diced onions, American cheese, pickles, sauce, and fluffy, buttery buns. The single patty was just enough to make me full. The burger itself was not overly oily or greasy at all. I'm not personally a fan of pickles usually but the pickles went well with the burger and I ended up eating it! Gotta be one of the best smashburgers I've had so far. The OG3 Style Fries were awesome as is with all the toppings it had. My favorite part was the tangy sauce on top of it. I wish I knew what the sauce was made of. However, it does feel like there's a lot of flavors going on at the same time when eating those fries and the burger I ordered. I'll probably just get the burger and regular fries next time. Although... I would definitely order both the og3 style fries *and* the wagyu cheeseburger if I'm feeling hungover haha. Overall, it's interesting to see how a burger shop operates in a yakiniku-looking restaurant. I love that there's ample settings for groups and that it doesn't get too packed inside. The only "negative" is that parking can be tight but I have nothing negative to say about the establishment itself.

I ordered one Wagyu deluxe burger, two Wagyu cheeseburgers, and two grass fed beef cheeseburgers. With 4 fries. Everyone enjoyed the burgers and said they were delicious, well priced for what you get. Also The bun texture was sturdy but yet soft so the Juiciness of the burger did not make a soggy bun! However, one of the cheese burgers had 3 hard bone fragments or cartilage definitely hard; luckily they spit it out and didn't crack their teeth. After the third piece they stop eating their cheeseburger I don't blame them. It was the only burger to have that. I wanted to call rather than post but they don't have a contact number only at an ordering website. Definitely will try again. Looking forward to trying the one OG. Hopefully no hard fragments.

Carl Og3 Burger Shop is technically on Young Street, but don't look for a traditional storefront. It operates during the day inside a Japanese BBQ joint, which explains the vaguely disjointed atmosphere -- yakiniku grills on the tables, the smell of char lingering in the air, and a menu of burgers taped to a folding stand near the door I went for the Kaheka Smash, added a second patty, and appreciated the price point ($12 for a double). There's some ambition in this burger -- a kick of spice from the Portuguese sausage, a thin char on the patties, and a squish of umami from the sauce. But ambition only gets you so far when the whole thing crumbles like dry cornbread halfway through. Messy is fine. Structurally unsound, less so Tried the OG3-style fries too. Cheesy, with a tomato bacon jam on top that sounded better than it tasted. Mostly just felt like loaded fries that gave up halfway through Worst part? The service. One poor server juggling an entire dining room meant 30 minutes to place an order and a full hour to get the food. The table next to us never got cleaned. Not blaming the staff -- this is a management issue

I found this place through yelp. My daughter was craving a good burger so I was looking up places and came across Carl Og3 burger shop. Our family of 7 went to dine in on a Sunday afternoon. Service was a little slow since there was only 1 guy running and it was pretty busy. We sat down and the guy took our order. We waited a while but it was worth the wait. Burgers were so good: the bread was soft and warm, meat was soft & flavor was perfect. Must get the Og3 fries! It was so bomb. Definitely recommend and will be back!

6/21/25 Everything Good that's been said about their burgers, fries n service is true We only waited about 15 minutes for our hot "Goodies" My better half had the "Cheeseburger" n it was just dripping juices n sauce EZ four napkins worthy She ate it up! I had "The One" their signature burger Double Smashed Patties of course w bacon jam bleu cheese tomatoes... Saucy Juicy Delicious! Tip: Fellow diner ate her burger in the most gracious way She kept all that juiciness contained by keeping it wrapped in the paper basket liner... No Spillage So I copied Ha Ha because wifey n another friend were a mess We had Fun n Ate Well Ojisan "Arigatou!"

I think these are the best smashed burgers on the island so far! They tasted fresh and delicious. The fries were crunchy. My order included: "The One", a basket of fries, and a double "Bacon Egg Burger" with extra chili. The subtotal before tax was $40.47 (as of 09/22/24). Tip: I wanted to avoid the potential wait and/or crowded parking, so I put in my order online the prior day and arranged for pick up the following morning. My order was hot and ready when I came to pick it up.

When you're craving a burger this is the place to go! I ordered "the one" single party with add on 1 egg also a side of crinkle fries extra crispy! They hit every single time! Service is reasonable. Would I come back? Yes. Would I recommend yes! Just beware that if you do not like blue cheese make sure to let them know because the burger I get has a spread of it. Don't walk, run to this place! Everyone I know that's had it come back multiple times a month to get their burger fix!

Carl Og3 ("Ojisan") Burger Shop is located on Young Street in the same place as Japanese BBQ Yoshi. Don't be mistaken like us! The Wagyu cheeseburgers were so good here! We ordered the Wagyu cheeseburger (a single deluxe and double) & the patties were super tasty and the bun was delicious. The Og3 burgers were good too but I definitely recommend getting the Wagyu burgers and go all out! Thick, crinkle cut fries served here. Small parking lot (maybe 7-10 stalls).

Carl OG3 (pronounced Carl Ojisan) Burger Shop is not the easiest to find because they don't have permanent signage as they utilize the kitchen of Japanese BBQ Yoshi during the day. You can dine in, if you're able to score parking in the small lot (or find street parking of course), but if not, call ahead or just order online. It's always better eating it fresh though. But gotta warn you they do get busy. Ive been a few times and have never seen them empty. We've tried The One, OG3 cheeseburger deluxe, and the fried Kimchee cheeseburger, as well as the OG3 style basket fries (comes with a special saude, The One jam and onion). Although everything was good, we always come back to The One. The buns are always nicely toasted and flavor is perfect. I'm not a big fan of blue cheese but theirs just meshes so well with the burger. Although the fries aren't bad, they're not my favorite as I'm a shoestring fries kinda person. Although as far as crinkle cut fries go, these are still pretty good.

Oh my! Best smash burger I've had in town so far. Call ahead for pickup since everything is made to order. I tried the original double cheeseburger (no fancy dressings or add ons) and was blown away. The party was super juicy and beefy. The veggies crisp. The bun perfectly toasted, buttered, and pillowy soft. My husband kept stealing bites off mine so I'll have to go back to get him his own. Service was so friendly. Parking is tough with a tiny lot. Will definitely return!!

A little nervous about bleu cheese in "The One" burger, but it was really good, all the flavors worked really well together. The fries were only ok, sizable portion. "The One" was expensive at $16 but the quality was noticeably better than your typical $6-12 burger. We were lucky and found a parking spot but it's a small lot, and finding parking around the area would've been difficult otherwise. They have an online order option, but we opted to eat inside. The restaurant was pretty empty but we went, but we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food to come, I imagine there were a lot of online orders ahead of me. The service was friendly.

The service was great, there was only 1 server and 1 chef. I could tell they were working as quickly as they could! Whoever the boy was that was serving today was so great! The food was delicious for sure, we got "The One", a Wagyu Cheeseburger, and a hot dog. Giving two stars cause management needs to make sure they are better staffed during the lunch rush, since they take to-go orders on top of dine-in. I saw the reviews that it takes a little while to get your food so we anticipated about 30-ish mins, but we waited 1 Hour to get our food. That seems a little ridiculous for a couple burgers and a hot dog. A little disappointing waiting so long for something you're going to eat in about 10 mins. Especially for a spot that's getting such great reviews, I would think management would pick up on it starting to get busy, and they could plan for that with more staff (cooks).

We come here once a week and get the same thing every time, Wagyu Cheeseburger, Wagyu Cheeseburger Deluxe, Basket of Fries and drinks. Never disappointed! Food is consistent and because we come here right when they open, we don't have to wait long. I mean we've been here during their busy hours and you just gotta be patient. Carl OG3 is still considered a small business operating out of another restaurant, so expect to wait. They have one server and I'm sure they don't have a full kitchen of cooks. We love the food and the service. We had preordered the Wagyu Sliders for pick up today! We'll definitely be ordering again. If you want quality, this is it.

Went here last weekend to try a wagyu burger since I recently returned from kyoto, after having the best burger in my life (Dragon Burger). Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not crowded. It took a long time to be seated and a long time to get order in. And quite a while to get our burgers too. I could see others getting annoyed at how long everything was taking. But we had no plans, as we had just finished our errands for the day. There was only 1 boy serving, cashiering, and being host. He was NOT diner dashing. BUT after all that waiting, I have to say my wagyu cheeseburger deluxe was very satisfying, so juicy and delicious. Fries were good too, piping hot, crispy on the outside and so potato-y! Try it when you're not too hungry and have a couple hours, preferably with someone who likes to talk story, and not si silently across you on their cellphone. Yum

On Young Street with a small parking lot in the front, Carl Og3 Burger Shop is on the smaller side. There are a decent amount of tables inside but it is not huge. The restaurant felt a bit dark but lighted enough to see. The service has always been friendly but the food can take a decent amount of time to be made. I would recommend ordering ahead if you don't want to wait. I like The One burger and I think it is so good! Maybe one of the best on the island. The fries are also super good -- crunchy and fresh. We enjoy coming to Carl's and hope to be back again soon!

Excellant burgers. We ordered 3 different burgers with double patties. All three were excellant. The size of the burgers were huge. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy burgers.

Finally made it as service wraps up at this location. Won't comment on location since they're about to move but the service was quick, efficient and friendly. The staff came by several times to check on us and make sure things were good. The burgers were gloriously messy and delicious. The patties were perfectly seasoned and cooked, the toppings were fresh and everything was on point down to the crispy fries with the perfect (for me) amount of salt.

Burgers are 5 stars, delicious, juicy, cooked just right...yum. Service was 4 stars, the server was nice but service (getting drinks, napkins, etc. was a little on the slow side. Ambiance, it's in the space of a Japanese bbq restaurant so it's ok. Parking was a little tight, but the burgers were worth the wait. The crinkle cut fries were cooked to perfection.

First time ordering and recommended by a co-worker. I made the order via smartphone for: The One, Dbl Wagyu cheeseburger, basket of fries, and 1/4 lb. deep fried hotdog. The meat patty with the char burn was great, the bun held up with the veggies and sauces; other burger buns would just collapse with the amount of items in between. I ordered a deep fried hot dog for a dinner; brought my own chili from home to add. That dog did not disappoint, maybe next time I'll try another hot dog. My wife enjoyed The One burger and was very pleased with the new lunch spot for the weekend!

Had "the one" and it didn't disappoint. Take a peek inside and see the sweet + spicy + sour flavors that come through. My only regret is that I had gotten the double up.

Ordered online for 1:05pm pick up. Had but a short wait, not more than 5 minutes. Burgers were tasty, fries were even BETTER. Parking was a bit limited, but I parked in a non marked stall, and waited in the car while my nephew went in to get the order. According to my him, the staff was very friendly. Burgers are perhaps as good as the old Chubbies... I have yet to try the new menu at Chubbies (AKA, Boarded Up by Chubbies). Need to do a comparison next! Definitely glad we stopped by and had us some OG3 burgers and fries today. It was well worth it!

We just picked up an order for lunch and were so excited to get our cheeseburger fix, but unfortunately, the burger patties were quite burned. It was a shame because the burgers looked so good! All of the burger toppings were fine (we asked for no special sauce since I didn't care for it the last time we ate here,) but the true winner of the meal was the basket of fries. We opted for crispy fries and no salt since some places over season, which can ruin a meal, and they were cooked to perfection. If you're going to be sharing fries for take out, get the basket. I'm hoping this was a one off thing where the chef accidentally left the burgers on the griddle for too long, but I guess we'll have to test that theory out some other time. Fingers crossed our next burgers won't be the same.

Landed in Honolulu around lunch time and got a tip from a friend about this burger place. I drove there and I almost miss it because it's inside a Japanese bbq restaurant and it's kind of confusing, maybe they share the place and do burgers at lunch? Anyway, we all got Wagyu cheeseburgers with bacon and they were super juicy and delicious. Service was a bit slow, but whatever we enjoyed the place and the food. Recommended!

I recently tried the burgers here and they were excellent. I walked over from my Condo and first went to their old location on the ground floor of a Condo building on Amana Street. The security guard there informed my partner and I they had relocated to Young Street. We couldn't decide if we should walk further to their new location or go somewhere else. I'm glad we decided to continue walking. Their new place is located where BBQ Yoshi Restaurant on Young Street is. They use it during the day! It was so nice to sit in a comfortable space with air conditioning. We both had the Cheeseburger and Fries. It was all you would want a burger to be and more! I will be back to have one of their Wagyu burgers on my next visit.

What a great burger place find! Located on the ground floor of a Condo. By day it's Carl Og3 Burger Shop and by night it's a Yakiniku restaurant. They have customer parking in the parking garage under the bldg. and when we went, there were several open stalls. It wasn't busy when we went but started to get busy once we were seated. Large dining area with plenty of tables and chairs and a clean restroom. There was only one server at the time and she was friendly and informative. The burgers are smash burgers, soft juicy and tasty. I ordered "The One" burger, you can order a single or a double. Wagyu beef, Tomato Bacon Jam, Blue Cheese, American Cheese, Onion and Jalapeño, it was dripping all over my hand, so juicy and flavorful. My husband ordered a special burger that they had that day. He ordered the "Chili Burger" and he really enjoyed it. We ordered a basket of Crinkle Fries, we like it crispy and they provided that. Ordered Coffee Ice Cream for dessert. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back when we are in the mood for a juicy burger!

I had a doctor appointment in the area, so what better way to eat a burger after a health check-up? I went right at opening time of 10:30, and already there were 4-5 take out orders being processed. I opted to dine in and eat everything as fresh as possible. They have a pretty extensive menu with only a few sides. They really have a large focus on the different burgers, and for good reason. Chuck/Brisket Blend Double up: 10/10. Wow, this is quite a burger. Double patty, cheese, caramelized onions, and mayo. The Bun is also slightly toasted. It is very juicy and requires at least 3 napkins to get through. There is a preparation time of at least 10 minutes - which ups the anticipation and seemingly made the burger tastier. Badket of Fries: 7/10. They came out piping hot, lightly salted, and had a nice light flavor. They went well with the burger, but I think on their own they would not have been as good. I'm not saying they are bad , but the burgers are on a high pedestal that there is a significant gap between the 2 items. Yuzu Sorbet: 9/10. I like Yuzu Sorbet. I can't think of anything negative about it. It was a great end to the burger and fries (I asked for it to come after I finished everything). It was a decent sized scoop, and it barely melted as I slowly enjoyed it. Total time from seating to paying and leaving was around 27 minutes. This is a great burger joint. Don't let the strange name deter you from coming. I will definitely be back soon!

I finally got to eat the Chili Hot dog! The chili was so delicious. I love hot dogs and I love chili. Question is how did their bun hold every delicious bite securely until the last ono bite? The other 5 people ate a total of 6 burgers loving every bite. We shared 3 baskets of fries with special sauce. I'll be back there still burgers and hot dogs I haven't tried.
