    Takeout Double Smash Combo
    Marilyn L.

    I wish I would have taken pictures. This place is beautiful on the inside. But enough about the interior. The burgers and fries are phenomenal! I called in the order and we got a Double and a Single Combos. Let me start with the French fries. They are seasoned (a hot spicy seasoning) and crispy to perfection! And now the Burgers were definitely smashed which made them overflowing the bun. They were really juicy with their sauce just completes the burger and meal. Oh they have shakes too! Going back for more soon.

    One thing I can say about smashburgers: If you tried one, you've pretty much tried them all. In this current economy, just the stick to the one that closest to you and save the gas. You're going to get two smashed patties, cheese, onions, and some burger sauce. If you're lucky, you may get some decent fries. That being said, the fries were amazing. I'm not Much of a French fry person. They were perfectly crispy and seasoned very well. As far as the burger goes, I got a double smash. Very moist burger and bun was very soft. Definitely melted in your mouth. It just lacked flavor. Even the sauce itself was bland.

    Was craving something to eat, and this was the only late night spot open around me that wasn't straight fast food, so I had to try it out! The decor was simple but matched the vibes well, I loved the yellow. I showed up around 1:30 am, and my order was ready within 5 minutes. I ordered the single smash burger (I should have gotten a double or triple, considering how hungry I was) with curly fries, and the entire meal was sooo good. The burger was well seasoned, and the bread for the buns was perfectly buttery and soft. The curly fries were crisped to perfection, so basically, in summary, this is my new favorite late-night food spot Definitely trying to oreo shake next!

    Went on a Monday night around 8pm and it wasn't busy. It's a new and clean establishment. Love the simplicity of the decor. The price of the burgers are pretty reasonable. The cashier was patient as we were trying to figure out what to order. The restaurant is small, but seating is available. No TV or bar. They sell canned and bottled drinks. I had the double smashed burger and curly fries. The curly fries were more than enough. The burger was good, but not as filling to me. The sauce on the burgers had a little spice kick to it. Overall, nice place to get a burger and they are open pretty late.

    Tried this relatively new smash burger spot in Sugar Land. It's a smaller establishment, but there is enough space to dine in if you wish. There is also plenty of parking in the lot it's located on. Inside, you have the option to place an order at the register or use the self-order tablet. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward, smash burger with either one, two, or three patties. For sides, they have regular fries, curly fries, or onion rings. It's better value to get the meal, as it is cheaper than buying the burger and fries separately. Their drinks are located in a fridge to the left of the register that has an assortment of water and soft drinks. You can also opt for one of their three flavored shakes. The burger was honestly pretty good. I would say next time I will probably opt for the triple patty for the burger itself to be more filling (I got the double this time), but the side of fries they give are plenty and left me full. I really like the "bad" sauce they use on the burger. I also got a side of it to use for my fries since they do not have bbq sauce (I prefer bbq over ketchup). I didn't get a shake because I wasn't feeling something sweet, but next time I look forward to try their caramel toffee shake. Now, there is no bar or TVs, so don't expect it to be a lively atmosphere. However, it is perfect for conversations over a meal that is competitively priced compared to other burger joints. All in all, it is a nice, low-key place for a simple, yet tasty smash burger and I recommend you get a bite!

    Tried out Bad Buns in Sugar Land off Highway 6. They are pretty good for a suburb smash burger. They are open late. Until 2 or 3 am!!! Simple menu with burgers, sides, and 3 shake options. Drinks are all canned or bottled. They have singles, doubles, and triple burgers I got the double and it was plenty along with the "bad" fries. The bad fries have sauce, meat, onions, and jalapeños. I got mine with the jalapeños on the side in case it was too spicy, but it actually was just right with them. Inside is small with about 6 or 7 tables. Its clean inside and service was very helpful. If you live close and need a late night buger its worth checking out!

    Went to @_badbuns and enjoyed it, first off a fan of smash burgers and this is a great place for them. simple menu smash burgers, fries and shakes. I ordered the Triple Smash Burger, Bad Fries, Oreo Extreme Shake and the Mucho Mango Shake. The burger was great, perfectly carmelized crust, and the sauce complimented the burger so we'll, also had a kick to it. Also liked the bad fries, nice ans crispy fries with crumbled smash burger beef pattie with carmelized onions, jalapeños and the bad sauce. overall great spot.

They ordered a strip steak, salmon, and a salad, and I didn't hear a single complaint from their side of the table. The staff were incredibly friendly and made a point of welcoming me as an actual guest instead of just someone's dog. Between the dedicated dog menu, the spacious patio, and the warm service, it's easy to see why this place is so popular with pet owners. If you're visiting Houston with your dog, Lazy Dog is an easy recommendation. Dogba's verdict: Five paws. Excellent chicken. Outstanding customer service. Finally, a restaurant that knows to hand me a menu first.

My wife and I have been to WC several times before for lunch, happy hour, and dinner but this was our first time for brunch. We had 1pm reservations and the sky looked like it was going to pour down ran any moment. Our hostess was very kind and let us pick the table we wished to sit in order to get a good view of the bar and windows to keep an eye on the weather and the arrival of our family members. Our server, Dane, was in top form and gave us suggestions for a starter. We were torn between the Jalapeno-gouda biscuits, Candied Bacon and other tasty sounding dishes and quickly agreed the Goat Cheese Fondue. The dish arrived shortly after our whole party was seated. Dane had great presentation as he drizzled olive oil over the steamy, bubbling cheese dish that looked amazing, smelled wonderful, and tasted even better. Melted goat goat cheese with a blend of olives, roasted tomatoes, garlic confit and thyme that we generously spread over warm toast points. It was all devoured in no time. Dane returned to clear our plates and took our order. The brunch menu is an exploration in so many things to suit your breakfast or lunch craving. We ordered the Strawberry Short Stack, the Hangover Burger, Brunch Sandwich, and the Steak and Egg Hash. Out of curiosity we also ordered a side of the Green Chile Cheese Grits. My wife and I love to share so the Strawberry Short Stack and Brunch Sandwich were perfect for dividing. Those pancakes are picture perfect, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Interestingly, Dane had asked if we wanted the toppings of strawberry compote, vanilla anglaise, whipped strawberry butter, and lemon shortbread crumble on the side so we could control the sweetness. For us that was the perfect suggestion as we were able to individually taste each accoutrement to build our perfect bite. The Brunch Sandwich was fantastic. Sometimes a breakfast sandwich can appear to be unwieldy but in this case it was manageable to cut in half and handle appropriately, The everything bagel was the right vehicle for this savory bite of fried-medium egg, layered with applewood smoked bacon, pickled Fresno peppers (for nice pop of spice), greens, american cheese, and a garlic-basil aioli. I didn't taste the Hangover Burger nor the Steak and Egg Hash, perhaps because I was a bit gorged on the pancakes and sandwich but the dishes looked amazing and I have a mental shortlist for the next time we dine at WC. Oh, and I did mention that we were curious about the Green Chile Cheese Grits. Out of this world! Those grits stole the show. We all kept commenting on them. Get them. You will be rewarded. When we dine we always expect good food. For us, service is the reason to come back. Dane was an outstanding server. He had personality and hospitality which is rare these days. He was conversationally engaging. He never lingered too long, always seemed to anticipate what we might need, politely asking to clear plates. Hat's off to Dane. Thank you Whiskey Cake for delivering a great dining experience to kick-off Father's Day weekend. We will be back.
