5 Hot Orange County Dishes to Try Right Now | Eater LA

"At Ojai Burger in Old Towne Orange, an offshoot of Yume Japanese Burger Cafe, the menu highlights thick wagyu-style patties and fried-egg-topped options, but my insider pick is the Ojai chicken sandwich: a well-layered karaage fried chicken thigh with crunchy shredded cabbage and black pepper–speckled Kewpie mayo tucked into a brioche bun." - Jenn Tanaka

Japanese Burger Spot Brings Slathered Wagyu Beef Patties and Karaage Sandwiches to OC | Eater LA

"The fast-casual spot at 238 W. Chapman Avenue opened in Old Towne Orange two weeks ago, taking over the space previously occupied by Buttermilk Chicken and serving a blend of American classics and Japanese flavors. The menu is a pared-down evolution of the Ozakis’ original concept, focused on high-quality ingredients: marinated wagyu beef patties, karaage-style fried chicken thighs, and an Impossible patty option for meatless diners, all served on fresh brioche with signature sauces, shredded lettuce, Kewpie mayo and sometimes a fried egg. Snacks and sides include fully loaded fries (topped similarly to the sandwiches), takoyaki and croquettes, while creamy shakes in cookies-and-cream, berries, matcha and ube — with matcha and ube also featured in chewy mochi waffles — round out the desserts. Backed by a group of friends and business partners who spotted a gap for Asian-influenced burgers, the restaurant shares a people-watching patio with adjacent Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, is within walking distance of the nearby multi-deck free parking structure, and is open Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–9 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–10 p.m." - Anne Marie Panoringan

As a burger expert, Ojai Burger easily ranks in my top 3. The smashed burger was premium, flavorful, and hit the spot while preserving top-notch quality. A must-try for burger lovers!

Freaking love this place! The service is always great! We recently went and unfortunately they were didn't have enough for a full portion of something we wanted, but we had already paid so they gave us a the remainder of what we wanted and a full portion of a replacement free of charge. Love this place! Loco moco rice bowl pictured

Wow I was a little nervous about coming for my burger experience because I’m not typically a meat eater but immediately all my concerns washed away when I was met with the kind and thoughtful smile of Carson. He answered all my questions and thoroughly suggested his favorites with many details. I ended up going with the Wagyu steak per Carson’s suggestion and was sent to heaven with every bite. If you’re thinking about eating at the circle go to Ojai and if you can please go find Carson because he will make your day.

Parking: Parking can be difficult on the weekends. You can get lucky with free street parking. I always park in the free parking structure on Lemon St. Ambiance/Environment: This spot is located in the Orange Circle, next to Snooze. The indoor is small with limited seating, but they have a good amount of outdoor seating. Service: The cashier was nice, and the cooks were efficient. Throughput was a little over 15 minutes. What we ordered: 1) Ojai Burger - wagyu with Katsu sauce and fried egg. It looks small, but it’s fulfilling! The wagyu was cooked too well for my liking. Though, it was still flavorful and juicy. 2) Terriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl - The bowl was also small, but they were generous with the chicken. There was a good amount of rice and shredded cabbage. The Terriyaki chicken was cooked well, and the Terriyaki sauce definitely came through. 3) Okonomi Fries - Okonomi sauce, Japanese mayo, furikake, and bonito flakes. The fries were crispy and cooked well! Their fries are shareable between two persons. I really enjoyed this, but I’d prefer a bit more sauce. Pricing: Prices are $$. It’s a decent price for the amount received. I’d definitely come back to try their other burgers and fries.

The fries here are fantastic and the staff is incredible. My friend was having a bad night and one of the staff member Elijah overheard and offered her free fries. He even gave us some sauces and samples of their drinks. Nicest guy and seriously amazing fries, thank you Elijah!

Small shop with one of the best smash burgers I’ve had in OC. Much better than their neighbors(Finny’s), which is still good.

Awesome Japanese inspired burger shop. Portions are big especially the fries. Karaage chicken sandwich was perfect, so good I got a double. The menci Katsu burger very crispy on the outside. Easy to find parking. They do have a food eating Challenge which I believe I could conquer in 30 minutes easily, however they only give you 15 minutes. I could probably do that but I like to also enjoy the taste of the food.

It took 35 minutes for them to make a burger and a hot dog and there was only one person in front but the burger and fries are so good

This place is a hidden gem! The burgers are absolutely delicious--especially the Miso Burger, which was unique and packed with flavor. The Smash Burger was perfectly crispy and melted at the same time. The buns were really soft and fluffy too. You can tell they care about quality ingredients without overcharging; the food is high quality and a great value. They have a great selection of craft beers, and the outdoor seating area is spacious, inviting, and dog-friendly. Perfect spot to hang out with friends (and pups) while enjoying top-notch burgers and a cold beer. Highly recommend! (You order at the counter and the food comes out, so not much to say about the service.)

We liked the spicy chicken sandwich and it came out fast They cut in half and we shared But it was undercooked so I dinged a star We love Orange for thrift shopping and visiting Hilbert museum

I got the wagyu bowl. Good amount of meat. It was lacking flavor. Meat was a bit overcooked. Service was good and quick.

Really solid burger spot! The food was fresh and flavorful my burger was juicy, the toppings were on point, and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. The staff was nice Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is the wait time it was a bit longer than expected. But overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a great burger

JAPANESE BURGERS Awesome location near the circle of orange. Not cheap but probably cheaper than a restaurant. Japanese style burgers with sweet sauces. Everything is sold separate. Got the beef bowl, the burger with the egg in it, don't remember the name, and the parm truffle fries. After finishing my food, I was glad I tried it but I probably won't order it again based on how dry the protein was. I guess I was expecting more for the price but i guess location is everything and they got bills to pay. Just feels like I ate a burger at waba grill. But at least it looks great! Interior is very tiny. Very suiting for Japanese style food. Overall, not to

We stopped by Ojai Burger while spending a day at the Orange Circle with friends. We had the Spicy Miso and Topa Topa burgers and an order of fries. Everything was delicious! The service was great, food was ready quickly and we had the indoors mostly to ourselves. We will definitely be back soon!

This one's all about simplicity done right. A soft, buttery brioche bun hugs a juicy wagyu patty, melty cheddar cheese, and a generous pile of caramelized onions that bring that perfect sweet-and-savory punch. There's a little bit of sauce smeared under the patty that gives it just enough tang without overpowering anything. The burger's got that smashed, crispy edge going on too, and it works magic with the creamy cheese. The pickle on the side is thick-cut and crisp--super refreshing between bites. No lettuce, tomato, or extras, just that deep, beefy flavor front and center. perfect!

Excellent price for the food they offer! Plenty of seating, both benches inside and out. The service staff was friendly too. The smash burger and their loco moco was the right amount of meat, and the one shake was a delight.

We had a Delicious burgers. Suggested was the name of the place "The OJai Burger"! Was a little salty, but the egg balanced it out. I thought the fries were good. The burger was absolutely delicious. Service was fast and the place is in old town Orange, walking distance from the Antique Circle. The location has a really cool vibe to it.

I am so loving this place. It is not just burgers. That's what keeps me coming back. Every time I visit there are more things to try. I think anyone could find something to enjoy here. I have often gone for the rice bowls including loco moco. Today I had the Menchi Katsu burger. They accidentally added a fried egg. Asked me if that was ok. No problem!! Just made it a bigger sloppier burger. My wife went with the demure smash burger. It is the most basic straightforward burger then have. So many other things I want to try including the katsu dog. Oh well, next time. They also have a solid draft beer program with stuff you don't see other places in the area.

First impression, I was very excited about the unique menu and I was very happy to find how much I enjoyed my visit. The Ojai wavy burger was delicious. We also got the wagu fries which were our favorite thing we got! Very impressed! The only downside was the wagu rice bowl. Compared to the rest of the meal, that was less flavorful and exciting. Good portions for everything and lots of fun and unique menu items. The seating was great as well, plenty of space in the location and the service was efficient and pleasant. Definitely planning on returning to Ojai Burger.

This place is the SPOT! I love fusion restaurants so I was delighted when I took a look at their menu. I haven't been great with writing reviews so just FYI this is my review from my visits in May and July of this year. First: the service was awesome. In May, a server named Fern was very patient with me and gave me some great recommendations to help me decide what I should get. Unfortunately, there was a little misunderstanding, but it was probably an honest mistake. I ordered the wagyu bowl and got the katsu bowl. They sound similar, so I understand the mix up. I should have asked her to repeat the order to me. Next time! In July, I REALLY wanted to try their carrot cake, but I wasn't able to order it through the app, so I ordered the Giant Chocolate Cake Slice and asked them to give me carrot cake if possible. I was overjoyed to discover upon delivery that they not only were they able to accommodate my request, but they gave me an extra treat (a blondie) to make up for the price difference! How sweet! The carrot cake also did not disappoint. It was SO GOOD. What we've tried: Chicken Katsu Salad - very good, a little on the salty side. I'd like to try to karaage salad next and compare them. Wagyu Fries - SO GOOD. Highly recommend. Carrot cake - BOMB. Chicken Katsu Bowl - very good, a little on the salty side. We ordered the wagyu beef bowl and got this, so I'd still like to try the wagyu bowl. Topa Topa Chicken Sandwich - very good and filling Ube Shake - good, a bit on the sugary side. It's not designed to travel well(the pocky fell all the way in the drink), I was expecting them to put the pocky on the side or something, but I understand it's my fault ordering delivery Buttery Lemon squares - AMAZING. I'm a lemon square snob and these were almost as good as my grandmas. Toffee Crunch Blondie - good if you like big chocolate chips. It's much better warm. Overall, I would absolutely go back, and I very much look forward to it.

The staff is the reason this review was bumped up a star. The gentleman at the register was so patient with us as it was our first time. We ordered ALOT of food. He made excellent recommendations and was so cheerful and friendly. The shake shake fries are very well seasoned and probably my favorite part of the meal besides the tangerine beer. The wagyu burger patty is very flavorful. So was the juicy dark meat chicken for the chicken sandwich. Other than that, the loco moco is depressing and definitely not a real loco moco. The portions are really small for the price you pay. I would not go back solely for that reason. It's just okay but not worth the price. It looks way better than it tastes. The staff is the most redeeming quality of this experience.

Ojai burger was a neat spot to try out some fusion food, The restaurant has pretty limited seating and I thought we could sit on the patio but wahoos has a sign that says it's only for wahoos. You may end up sharing a table with some others pending your party size. It's a nice little spot otherwise. The service was great they are great with getting orders in and out and with suggestions. I had a to go order along with my dine in and the server held off on making the Togo order until we were closer to being done with our meal so I really appreciated that. The food was good but not mind blowing, mind you I got the katsu sandwich and I think it's their wagyu beef that is the star. The sandwich was good with some good flavors. The fries were new for me since I had never had a miso spice so I enjoyed those. Overall Ojai did its job with proving good food with great service. I'll definitely try a burger next time and see if that changes hits higher notes for me but for the most part I did enjoy my meal.

The Sign in front had me at wagyu lol. Pretty small location inside. It was decently busy not much of a line. I got the wagyu rice bowl in all honestly just my opinion I thought it was okay lol. The bowl reminded me of a fancier yoshinoya. The fries were my favorite they were crispy and fresh the taste was good balance. The burger sorry I don't remember which one it was it was okay too for what it is. Had alot of cabbage. Overall the cashier and everyone was very nice and helpful.

I had my friend try this place and she loved it! Super friendly service like usual. Our cashier gave us lots of good recommendations! We got the spicy red garlic fries which were the perfect crispiness and savory flavor to go with the burgers. Our cashier also gave us a side of their garlic dijon aioli to try. It wasn't needed but def added to the flavor of the fries! 5/5 My friend got the spicy miso burger and she really enjoyed it too! She loves spicy foods and has a high spice tolerance, and she did wish it was more spicy. But she still really loved it and would def come back! I've been here 3 times already and have always had such great experiences. From the food to the service to the vibe, you honestly can't go wrong eating here!

Katsu Dog 4-4.5 stars Smash Burger 2.5-3 stars After circling around and around Old Towne Orange, on a Friday around noon, we were able find a parking spot right in front of Ojai Burger. (I've never noticed Ojai Burger before, but upon checking, it seems that this location has been open since 2022.) We were originally in the area for Urth Caffe and since we had time before our pick up order was available, we were intrigued by the sign out front of Ojai Burger, that we ended up ordering 2 items from the sign. Katsu Dog $8.95 Crispy fried katsu hot dog, sauteed onions, Japanese mayo & katsu sauce. Single Smash Burger $6.95 Garlic dijon aioli, sauteed onions, cheese, served on a brioche bun. We were both pleasantly surprised with the flavors of the Katsu Dog. At first, I was skeptical for a hot dog about $9 but all the ingredients came together really well. There was a subtle crunch with each bit, due to the crispy fried katsu. The sauteed onions were excellent. The Katsu Dog was our favorite between the two. The Single Smash Burger left much to be desired. The patty was smashed (thus Smash Burger) ,obviously, but way too thinly that it was basically burnt, like black burnt, on both sides (top and bottom) and on the edges. Like are we eating charcoal? Pass on the Smash Burger. A pickle slice was included with both items, and it was fresh! The perfect amount of crisp with each bite and not overly sour. A perfect addition to both items, so the items would not be dry. When we entered, there were a occupied tables, and the restaurant stayed moderately busy as customers came and went while we enjoyed our meal inside. There were 2 TVs and 1 restroom. FYI, that toilet is slooowww... and even following the directions on the wall, one needs to flush 2 times and wait for it to "fill" after the first flush. Nothing like history with buildings in Old Towne Orange. Fusion food. Good service. One orders and pays at the register, and you'll be provided a number for your order. Once your order is ready, they will bring your order to you. There are also water and cups on the side for their customers, along with utensils and napkins.

This isn't just a sandwich. This... is chemistry. The culmination of precise reactions--the Maillard browning on that chicken, the emulsion of spicy oil clinging to its crisp ridges, the acidic balance of slaw slashing through the richness like a scalpel. They didn't "make" this. They engineered it. You don't just throw some bird on a bun and hope for flavor--no, this took planning. A toasted bun soft enough to yield, but strong enough to hold together under the volatile crunch of expertly fried chicken. And that sauce? It's not just spicy. It's calculated heat. Layers. Pepper. Vinegar. Umami. Like a controlled burn... just enough to make you sweat, never enough to stop. You think you've had a spicy chicken sandwich before? You haven't. This--this is the one. Because when you're in the presence of perfection, you don't just eat. You respect it.

Thank you to Elijah and the crew at Ojai Burger!! They welcomed us after our Angels game loss and reassured us that they will get back to their winning ways tomorrow. We agreed!! Today was our first time there and a start of many!! The ambiance is friendly and welcoming. The food was scrumptious and excellent!! I'm so glad that we didn't just get hot dogs, fries, and drinks at the stadium. It probably, actually totally, would have cost more and be half as good. We all agreed that the meal was great and that we're all going back!! I will try something else next time. My wife and kids will do the same. Wagyu beef is know for a reason. You'll notice the difference when you eat at Ojai Burger!!

Stellar burgers with great flavors and textures. The fluffy brioche bun, crispy fried egg, crunchy sliced lettuce and the firm but tender beef patty creates the complex texture profile, while the katsu sauce in the beef, butter in the brioche bun and egg yolk creates the flavor profile. Everything was executed perfectly - the egg yolk was cooked so that it didn't get too runny, and the bun didn't get so drenched from all the juices that it held everything together well. The basic fries are perfectly crispy. We also got the spicy miso fries, and the best part was that it wasn't drenched in sauce to a point the fries were soggy. I could still taste their crispy texture as well as the spicy kick from the sauce and the tender meat chunks.

Smash burger was good albeit a bit basic. Wished they had bigger patties and more toppings. Loved the toasted buns. Definitely recommend getting a double on the smash burgers, the single is on the small side. Spicy miso wagyu fries are big enough to share. Loved the meat used, but sauce was a bit too sweet for me. It wasn't busy around 4pm on a Saturday. Will probably come back but will order different items.

Excellent service. Pleasant seating area. The Katsu Dog was really good and very big. The Okinomi Fries were good...nice flavor but the fries were a bit dry. Smash Burger was average. Not much flavor in the meat. No sauce was added or offered. Very good beer selection, but non-alcholic drinks were sparse. A few tweaks and I think Ojai Burger could rise from good to great

I've here a few times and I've been pretty satisfied with the food. Their Wagyu Burgers is top notch and it's a must for those trying this for the first time. I've tried other burgers from the menu and none of them hit quite as nicely as the Wagyu. I had the Topa Topa Fries with the Spicy Ojai Chicken Sandwich and it was filling. Service has always been pretty solid and I've never had an issue with seating. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available so I was able to bring my dog. My dog Skippy has always been telling me he wanted to try Ojai but I kept having to remind him it's not for dogs. But I brought him to the patio as a compromise so he could smell the food. Overall, the variety of Ojai's burgers and sandwiches welcomes anybody of varying tastebuds. Recommended.

Saw the sign outside The restaurant of the ojai smash burger. The photo was for the double patty so I decided to get the single thinking the double would be too huge. Well, the single patty didn't look like a smash burger at all. It wasn't really "smashed" nor did it fill out the bun. This is the equivalent of a hamburger. It wasn't the best smash burger I've had but you may want to try it for yourself. The katsu chicken salad was pretty good. Lots of chicken with that light crunch and the salad greens were fresh. Would definitely order this again. The staff was helpful and the restaurant is clean. Parking on the street or parking structure is free up the street.

This is a fantastic, casual burger joint that remixes American classics with a Japanese flare. The Ojai Wagyu Burger has a THICK, juicy, and tender patty! I'm obsessed with the spicy miso sauce on the fries. The Topa Topa Chicken Sandwich boasts a hilariously huge slab of karaage chicken. The cashier was unfriendly, but she at least answered our questions. Parking and limited seating might make your visit a little challenging, but the food is worthwhile. I'd come back for their Ojai Wagyu Burger and anything with that Spicy Miso sauce!

I'm a bit surprised by how many good reviews there are for this place. Maybe we just got the wrong item or it was an off day. Anyway, my wife and I shared a Chief Peak Burger and some fries. The Chief Peak Burger tasted a bit burnt and I didn't find it very good at all. The fries were okay, but just regular fries that you can pretty much get anywhere. For this burger and fries to be well over $20, I expected it to taste much better. I'd much rather eat someplace like Lazy Dog which is much cheaper and taste way better, or if you can, someplace like The Stand which is located all over the place as well. For the price, this place was pretty bad and we definitely won't go again. At least service was good.

Inconsistent cooking. I had a smash burger and fries for lunch which was good. I came back later that same day to get crispy chicken bites to go and the chicken was so burnt. I didn't notice till I got home and couldn't eat it as it tasted too burnt. Maybe there was a shift change as the cashier was a different person so I'm guessing different cook too.

Confused by all the amazing reviews... my burger was dry and lacking aioli, or some type of sauce as I ordered a smash burger. I also opted to try their Ojai chicken sandwich. As I bit into it, I was surprised to see dark meat and it also seemed a little uncooked. I really wanted to like this place but perhaps I just ordered the wrong items.

As a person who loves burgers and Japanese culture, this was a must-go-to for my taste buds! Had this place on my list for quite some time and thought it was finally time to visit! The time we went was actually a perfect time since there was only 1 party so we took our time figuring out what we wanted to eat! FOOD So for the food that we ordered were the Spicy Miso Burger, Topa Topa Burger and the Wagyu Fries. The overall presentation, use of ingredients was just perfect...Just thinking about the first bite is making my mouth water... As we were eating, both my girlfriend and I were silent for a few minutes as we were taking in all the explosive flavors sending us to another dimension! I was wishing that each bite wouldn't end! The use of Wagyu meat, the spicy miso was just a perfect combination. I'm really hoping the next time we visit, I won't be ordering the same thing since I tend to do that but I plan to try the Teriyaki Wagyu Burger which was my other option! OVERALL We're coming back. Enough said. The food was simply exquisite and worth every penny! The employees were very accommodating as we were asking questions about popularity, what certain sauces were so commends to the employees!(Sorry I didn't get your name but if it helps, it was around 12pm on March 9th 2024) There's an abundance of inside seating with a vast amount of table space for all the food you'll be ordering, or however messy you eat lol I would recommend trying to come here early, maybe before 12 or even earlier (for the weekends) as it does tend to get extremely packed and difficult to find parking! Thanks again Ojai Burger for the delicious lunch, we'll be coming back again!

Let me start by saying I love burgers, and particularly I love smash burgers. But I'm sick of them being over complicated pretentious trash. Tired Of walking in to a place and paying 20 dollars for a smash burger that lasts like grease and yellow Heinz mustard. It is not hyperbole when I say that Ojai has the best smash burger I've ever had. Perfect form factor with non of this super flat patty sticking a mile out from under the bun crap, not dripping in overpowering sauces. It's perfect when paired with the Dijon aoili and Mayo along with the grilled onions and cheese. Flawless. I recommend the shakes too, absolutely excellent. I will be coming back and I will never go anywhere else for a smash burger again. On top of that the service was fast and polite, with a huge outdoor shaded patio. Idk why I waited so long to try this. Ojai Burgers cured my burger depression.

Ojai Wagyu Burger * grilled wagyu (beef) patty was juicy and the perfect ratio to the buttery brioche buns * Ojai sauce is the shop's spin on teriyaki sauce * runny sunny side up egg deliciously tied all the ingredients together * also sandwiched with Japanese mayo and shredded cabbage * served with a pickle on the side * favorite item ordered! Loco Moco Rice Plate * demi-glace (with sautéed onions and mushrooms) poured over a grilled wagyu patty, sunny side up egg, and rice * served with shredded cabbage, edamame, and pickled ginger * comforting and flavorful menu items * perfect for a quick/on-the-go meal * was not the most filling considering their small serving sizes * has indoor and outdoor seating options * does not have its own parking lot and will have to street park 8/10

All the food was solid. Well seasoned and the wagyu patty was not overcooked like most burger places. It is a little bit on the pricey side but I get it. I did felt like the wagyu fries, the meat was a little skimped on.

This place has to be one of my favorite burger spots, especially it seems like a hidden gem of some sort. So I live in LA, and was craving a burger after going to Disneyland and scrolled through Yelp. Stumbled upon this restaurant and from the menu and reviews, things seemed to sound good and wanted to try it for my own. The inside the restaurant is pretty small inside and I think there's an outdoor patio that you can dine at as well. However, the customer service was A++++ in my personal opinion and I should've gotten the guys name but he was amazing and seemed so enthusiastic and friendly. That's another reason why I would come back to this restaurant, I love supporting businesses with great staff. Let's talk about the food now, I got a spicy miso burger and fries. The bun was nice and crispy along the edges and the meat was seasoned perfectly and I loved the egg that was added on top. I wish this place was closer to my house, but I'll definitely be coming back soon to this restaurant 10/10 stars if I could

Pretty solid cheese burgers, and shakes here! I always come here after I'm done at the bars across the street, and the burgers never disappoint! Probably best burger shop in Old Town.

I come here all the time for the Chief Peak and let me just say it is the absolute best burger around! I don't even really like mushrooms, but there's something about that burger that has me enthralled and I just have to order it with an extra egg on top every time. And I don't even have to order the extra egg these days, because Elijah behind the counter always remembers my order! I just flash the pearly whites and my orders is already in. All he needs to know is if I want a chocolate shake (which comes with chocolate Pocky!) or a beer. I sit at one of the tables, either a communal one if I'm feeling social or a window seat if I'm not, and my burger gets to me quick as can be. I've never had a bad time here, and I've tried just about everything on the menu at this point. If ever I'm craving a delicious burger, a rich and perfect chocolate shake, and a nice juicy pickle slice, I'm going to Ojai's.

Not your ordinary burger and fries. So be prepared for flavor combos that leave you going MMMMMM. The truffle fries absolutely YUM. The Topa Topa burger was WOAH. Can't decide if I loved it or liked it lol. Enjoy the food experience.

This place seemed amazing with tons of good reviews, overall not a good experience. Overpriced and bad food but fast delivery even when backed up. It also was dirty with full trash cans and dirty tables. We also asked if the meat was white and it ended up as dark meat with fat. The special fries were just sprinkled with powder. Overall no taste on the food and not worth it for the price I payed.

Ojai Chicken Sandwich was delicious, crispy and flavorful. I also got the spicy miso sauce on the side which was good, a bit on the saltier end. Not much parking available around the area especially on a weekend. Staff was friendly and food was relatively quick but on a weekend, sitting can be limited. Love the how this is around an area with plentiful of other shops ie antique store. Great place to grab a bit and then walk around to explore and digest.

I've been here 4 times and it's been amazing every single time. Their burgers are delicious as well as their fries. Service is always nice and quick. I enjoy both the indoor and outdoor seating options. They offer a selection of draft beers. I've tried 4 out of their 7 burners, each unique and delicious!

Overall: 4.4/5 Recommend: Yeah it's decent. Return: Yes, but only if I happen to be in the area. Taste: 4/5 It was pretty good for being thoroughly cooked, but I am from the medium-rare burger camp, hence the non-perfect score. They said they only make them well-done. It's fine, to each his/her own. Quality: 4/5 Solid and good clean tasting meat, nicely baked buns, fresh fries and craft beer. Service: 5/5 Smiles and friendly hollers all the way around Value: 5/5 Great prices $60-70 total for 3 people with 2 burgers, 1 loco moco, 1 beer, 1 full order of Spicy Miso Wagyu fries and 1 combo add-on that came with side of fries & lemonade X-factor: 4/5 There is both indoor & outdoor seating, so it gets an above average rating!

Fantastic! So tasty and reasonably priced! Staff was friendly and prepared our to go order quickly. Inside dining area is a wee bit wee, but they have a large outdoor seating area. Everything was clean and well organized. I also love that they're on the Toast app to make ordering easier. Definitely a new favorite.

Ordered the smash burger and garlic parmesan shake shake fries. Burger was delicious! Patty was nicely seasoned and juicy. The bun was really good with a light crisp on the outside and soft inside. Fries were crispy and flavorful. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!
