My cousin and I stopped by this food cart after walking around the Astoria Sunday Market.
It took 46 minutes to receive our orders after paying, and I'm pretty sure that's due to the staff being extremely stoned, but we forgave this as soon as we bit into our burgers.
My cousin ordered the Oklahoma Double Smashburger, and I ordered the Bacon Black and Blue.
I thought I had ordered a double, and she thought she had ordered a single, so we ended up moving one patty from her burger to mine.
I was really, really hungry. I devoured my burger and fries. I was a little disappointed that fries were the only potential side (all burgers automatically come with fries), but, given how much trouble the staff had keeping orders straight, maybe they don't need to be adding menu items.
The Oklahoma was the first decent Oklahoma smashburger I've found anywhere. Both of our burgers were true smashburgers, with caramelized patties. My cousin's had a lot of mustard and onions, while mine had bacon and blue cheese.
I didn't love the amount of bacon and blue cheese. It's not my new favorite blue cheese burger of all time-- a spot still held by Gott's in California.
But it was really, really good. Good enough to make us forget how annoyed we were at waiting 46 minutes for two burgers.
The toppings were all fresh. The bacon and blue cheese were both top quality, although I wished there was a little more of each. The smashburger had really good flavor, but was on the lighter side as far as smashburger patties go.
The cart was in a little food cart plaza with about ten carts surrounding a beer tap hall. The vibes were slightly more classy, beach like, and romantic as opposed to other food cart malls.
Our burgers were about $18 each, which was definitely on the higher side, but that's what it's like ordering from a bougie food cart by the sea.
We carried our burgers down to the alley with murals behind Pine Street Market for amazing photo ops on our way down to the ocean.
