Absolutely love this place! The customer service is top tier, and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. My boyfriend and I have been here multiple times, and each visit has been a great experience. Most recently, we came in on a Wednesday night around 7:40 PM, not realizing they closed at 8. The team was incredibly kind and never made us feel rushed while eating inside. The food is consistently delicious! We always share a fry because the portions are generous, and the burgers are some of the best we’ve had. Yes, it’s a little on the pricier side, but the quality, service, and cleanliness make it more than worth it. I’m from San Diego and have tried a lot of burger spots but this one is definitely top tier. Highly recommend supporting this awesome small business!

Chris was awesome and very friendly. Made us feel very welcoming and the vibe of the staff you could feel the moral. I had the classic and my husband the bacon burger. We opted from lettuce and onions to really enjoy the Wagyu beef. Will definitely recommend and will definitely come back

What a wonderful treat, I was a little skeptical at a gas station drive-thru but the food was delicious. The burger was tasty, the fries were crispy and the cashier was very friendly. I'll definitely get more of their spicy fry sauce as that was a big hit!

We went here for the first time! The food is tasty and fresh! We got classic burgers and ordered the loaded fries and the fire fry to try. The shakes are good and come with whipped cream a cherry. Great customer service and very clean inside. Nice that they have a drive thru. We will definitely be back!

I was so excited to have a Smash Burger joint nearby. Beef had the perfect crisp, serving of loaded fries was big enough to share. Cookies and cream milk shake could've been a little thicker, but overall good. Will definitely be back!

This burger joint is a small "hole-in-the-wall." It's unceremoniously attached to a gas station also... i know what you're all thinking, "ew a gas station burger".... but no... that is SO FAR from the assessment. I have been looking for a smash burger for a while now, and this checks all the boxes... AND it can have bacon... i had the double bacon smash (probably should have gotten the triple), and the moderately spicy "fire fries"... 10/10 i HIGHLY recomment. nothing bad to say about this place, i will be back verh soon.

The building location is attached to a gas station, but don't let that fool you. It is its own separate restaurant inside. They serve burgers, fries, and shakes. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, and we definitely plan on eating here again.

I’ve been wanting to try this spot and glad I did. I am located in the new development of Homeland, so this place is right down the 74. Conveniently close. The burger was tasty, but the meat was on the thin side. I prefer I thicker piece of meat and it could have used a bit more salt/seasoning. The fries were good and they give you plenty. They have shakes and offer Reese mix-in. Overall, I would come again and give them a second try, trying the double patty next time.
