I finally checked out Buns N Shakes, and the double smash burger absolutely delivered…read more The burger came out looking exactly how a smash burger should -- crispy, lacy edges on the patties, melty cheese, and a soft glossy bun that held everything together perfectly. Every bite had that classic smash burger flavor: juicy beef, caramelized crust, and just the right balance of toppings without overcomplicating it. The fries were solid too -- hot, crispy, and the perfect sidekick to the burger. Overall the spot has a chill, no-nonsense burger joint vibe where the focus is clearly on doing smash burgers right with great service. If you're in New Brunswick and craving a proper smash burger, this place definitely hits the spot. Would 100% come back to try the shakes next time.

When imagining a late night spot to satisfy your hunger after a night drinking, this is the place…read morethat comes to mind. The name describes them perfectly - they serve sandwiches on buns and shakes. Everything here is greasy but oh so good. The smash burgers were great and had a crust on the outside of the patty that elevated the meal. Mozzarella sticks had a great cheese pull - which is always a good sign. The shakes are solid and the side of mac and cheese, I fully didn't expect to get that large of a serving, but it was so great also. While the meal was on the pricier side considering you're getting a bunch of junk food, it was definitely tasty and a perfect restaurant for a college town!

TLDR: quick classic lunches with old school charm…read more I got the burger and fries from White Rose. The burger was the kind you'd always hoped for in the school cafeteria: a juicy, meaty patty sandwiched between a fluffy bun. The griddled onions set this apart and bring sweet-savory little pops of flavor. The store itself feels like an old school luncheon. Everything about the spot feels nostalgic in the best way.

When I touch down in Jersey, this is always my go-to spot--I catch it right off the highway…read more Perfect for a late-night burger and fries. Somehow, Jersey just gets the fries right every time. On the way out, I usually slide back through for a pork roll sandwich. Just a heads up: this spot only carries pork products--which is cool with me--but something to keep in mind if you're looking for other meat options.

I arrived in New Brunswick by train, which is to say I trusted the machinery of civilization to…read moredeliver me to lunch. It did. A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

Service was awesome, walked in 2 mins before happy hour and the waiter took our beer order in record time. He was also very attentive during our entire meal. I ordered the Andouille Armstrong and it was my fav, great snap on the dog and all the flavors complimented each other great, I also had the Si Si Guey, wasn't my favorite but wasn't horrible, I wasn't a fan of the chorizo, I felt the toppings made this hot dog. As for ambiance, it's a bar, has TV, liquor, beer, etc., but clean. If I was local I'd be a regular!

I walked in on a rainy Friday night shortly after 10pm and it was freezing cold on the inside. Shreya was working the register and was extremely present and nice to speak with. I asked for her recommendations and of course she suggested the burger. I took her up on that option and ordered a bacon cheeseburger. She said the fries were also a must. I was extremely hungry, so I also ordered the Chicken Club Burger, crispy instead of grilled. She asked me if there was anything else I needed and I jokingly said a side of heat. She checked with the other patrons inside to see if they were cold along with Jenn who was working and they concurred as well. Within minutes she was on the phone with the owner who quickly addressed the issue by cutting on the heat. A few moments and I could tell things were warming up. Now onto the food. Everything was hot. The burger was delicious, but nothing was too special. The fries were seasoned well and had a spicy sauce to go with them. The Fried Chicken club was AMAZING! By far the biggest chicken sandwich I had ever eaten. The chicken was juicy. I could taste the cheese and the bacon. The chicken was way bigger than the bun. I wish I had ordered two. Overall I had a fabulous time here. The seating area was clean. Customer service was excellent. They made sure I was taken care of. The food is good. If I'm in the area again id definitely stop by.

I was really excited to step outside my comfort zone and try something completely new. We ordered the Kulfi Shake, Chatpatay Wings, Salam Cola, Masala Fries, and a Paratha Roll. What surprised me the most was the spice leve. I definitely wasn't expecting that much heat! But every bite was packed with bold, authentic flavor. The standout dish was easily the Chatpatay Wings. They were buttermilk-marinated, perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and absolutely fucking delicious. They were hands down my favorite thing we ordered. The Kulfi Shake was rich, creamy, and the perfect way to cool off after all the spice. The Salam Cola was fun to try, and the Masala Fries and Paratha Roll were both flavorful and satisfying.
