Smash burger done right. This bodega smash burger is aka uncle Pete's cafe. Also, I enjoyed the ranch. The burger comes with onions, pickle and mustard and it's cooked perfectly. The restaurant is very nice and clean great decor and the staff are friendly. Try Bodega Smash Burger

Double smash, Crinkle Fries & Crispy Zucchini

Delicious! Great customer service and the food was great. Found this hidden gem and will be returning. Need to return to try their regular food items and loved the chill vibes.

Bodega Smash Burger is inside a place called Uncle Pete's Diner. We were a little confused at first but the address matched and we went inside to ask. Staff was friendly and informed us we were in the right place. Service was good and quick. Burgers were solid and crinkle fries were really good. Onion rings were pretty good and my son had an Oreo shake that was tasty too. I would give 5 stars but it was on the pricey side for a couple burgers and sides & one shake. Total came to $45+ incl tax.

This was supposed to be a smashed cheese burger. It was good, but not what I'd ordered.

Safe! Okay, let me explain.... I was craving a smashed burger, not to be confused with SmashBurger. Lots of burger joints offer smash burgers. The traditional burger with a smashed thin patty cooked up. When I saw Bodega Burger I called to ask about their smashed burgers and it was explained to me that it was part of a hidden menu. I couldn't wait to try this, so I packed up the family and headed to Uncle Pete's Cage. Upon entering I noticed the place had a decent headcount. Lots of folks enjoying the food. Quaint atmosphere and a solid mix of Johnny Cash and Elvis playing. I approached the counter and asked for the Bodega Burger menu. I received a completely separate menu from the otherwise known Uncle Pete's Cafe menu, so cool!!! As you would expect, I ordered the smash burger, I received a double cheese burger, good, but not smashed. The chili fries were good too. Service was above average as our drinks were kept full, napkins, regular check-ins, all spot on. One thing made me uncomfortable was the off duty server that stood inches away from the prepared food to talk with working servers. Her hair was flying about and she was breathing on orders ready to be served. It was a decent experience even though none of us received the smashed burgers we ordered, ingredients were missed, and the silverware places setting we requested never showed up.

Smash burger and fries.

I'm not going to give a bad review and will definitely try it again buuuttt....ordered chili cheese fries and got regular cold fries . The burger was great though. Again, imma try again because I really want to try the chili cheese fries and the fruity pebbles shake.

Chili cheese fries

Celebrating our 22 yrs Anniversary today and we were craving a burger. It's not our typical romantic Anniversary dinner but this was perfect. We order the burger, zucchini, wings and chili fries. Service here at Pete's Cafe was amazing.

Double smash burger with bacon.

I honestly doubt Paul's needs another review, the food and service definitely speak for themselves…read more The hubby wanted a sandwich, so I did what any respectable Yelper would do: I hit the button, and voilà... Paul's appeared. Its charming, old-school manly vibe was absolutely perfect for date night. We ordered the meatball sandwich and spaghetti and meatballs, and both were delicious. Like, already planning our return this weekend delicious. Clearly, we need to conduct further research and try a few more things on the menu. You know, for science, the community, because our bellys said so. Really solid Italian food, great service, and a vibe that knows exactly what it's doing. Go!

Lots of delis in OC and LA but I can't always travel too far just for a spontaneous sandwich…read morecraving. So glad I found Paul's deli and that they are making a righteous Reuben on rye with sauerkraut, cheese and a little Russian dressing! So good! When the sandwich is done right I'm hooked so I will definitely be coming back. This shop is located in Westminster in a mostly Vietnamese strip mall but the sandwich shop has a great small deli vibe with its old school decor and pictures on the wall. The staff are friendly and again the sandwich is the real star. Gotta try Paul's deli!

This is the kind of experience that reminds you how much good customer service can completely…read morechange a first visit. This past weekend, our daughter had a game at Cypress High School. We were headed toward REI to grab some outdoor chairs and decided to stop at GHOST Sando Shop in Huntington Beach. I've driven past this place plenty of times and never really knew what it was. It also happened to be one of the only places open in the shopping center that early, so we figured, why not? Man, we had no idea what we were missing. We ordered the Melrose for ourselves and a Club for our daughter. Marco took our order and was also the one making the sandwiches. A few minutes after we sat down, he actually walked over and asked me, "Are you sure you want the pepperoncini and tomato on the Club?" My first thought was basically, uhhh... yeah, of course I do! Then it clicked. The Club was for our daughter. Marco had remembered that from our conversation when we ordered and knew that a lot of kids probably aren't exactly excited about pepperoncini and tomatoes. Meanwhile, Dad over here completely forgot to ask for them off. That might seem like such a small thing, but THAT is customer service. Marco wasn't just taking an order, collecting payment, and moving on to the next customer. He was actually paying attention. He remembered who the sandwich was for and took the extra few seconds to come over and double check before making it. Good looking out, Marco. Seriously. And that wasn't the only interaction we had with him. Marco was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in. He talked with us, answered questions, and even gave us suggestions on other sandwiches we should try the next time we come back. Nothing felt forced or scripted. It was just genuine conversation from someone who seemed to actually care whether we enjoyed our experience. There were only two guys working while we were there, yet everything was running smoothly. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed, the bright green interior gives the place its own personality, and there's plenty of seating inside along with a really nice outdoor patio area. And most importantly, the sandwiches were GOOD. The Melrose was a great first choice, and Melody enjoyed her Club, thankfully without Dad accidentally loading it up with pepperoncini. We also grabbed some Calypso lemonades, which went perfectly with everything. We originally stopped here simply because it was open and convenient. Now it's somewhere we'll intentionally come back to. There are thousands of places where you can buy a sandwich. What makes you remember a restaurant is usually the people behind the counter. Marco made us remember GHOST. Excellent food, clean restaurant, great atmosphere, and genuinely outstanding customer service. We'll definitely be back, and next time, Marco, we're taking you up on those recommendations.

I appreciate the visual guides next to the register for how large each sandwich is. The cashier…read moreeven explained that the largest size is the same as the regular, but with double the amount of protein. It's a solid menu with plenty of options. I went with the Harvest, which was a bit too salty, but otherwise good. The Dutch Crunch bread here is GOOD--and that's coming from a San Franciscan. It's fluffy and doesn't try to cut up your mouth. I would return. Clean interior with lots of seating, neat bathroom, lots of parking Knocking off a star because they play AI YouTube videos
