    Burger and sandwich menu
    Rachel C.

    I think it depends on your personal preference. My husband ordered the classic burger with just ketchup, mustard, meat, onion, and tomato. He didn't really care for his burger and said it made him have a "stinky visit" to the bathroom if you know what I mean. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed my delicious avocado burger with ketchup, meat, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I give it 4 stars because I asked for a chocolate Oreo "Cali Swirl" (blizzard) and got vanilla and it was not mixed, blended or "swirled". However the thick vanilla ice cream was delicious along with the crushed Oreos on top.

    For $12 I would expect Large large chili cheese fries To be large and add cheese what in the world is this!

    As it's Christmas Day, we appreciate you guys being open and feeding us that don't feel like cooking today. Thank you for allowing me to go inside the building when the inside was closed to the public. My truck doesn't fit through the drive through. The workers are all great even if they are slammed with work. Haven't tried the food but definitely smells delicious from where I'm sitting. We will be back soon.

    Large portions of fries, generously topped burgers, and many options. Picked the avocado burger and it had many slices of avocado and fresh tomato slice, pickles, and shredded lettuce. Asked for 10 pieces of chicken nuggets and were able to split them amongst my kids. The service was great and quick. Definitely a place to come back to and

    the receipt for the restaurant

    Since I live out here, I figured I'd stop by and see how the food was. To me it's just about the same as any Mom and Pop burger place like a Frosty King or Buck-o's. Food's about the same price. Drive thru time was 10 minutes. Ordered a single patty classic cheeseburger, two piece fish and fries, six piece chicken strip, onion rings and a large soda. Pictures show items in regular size styrofoam container. Tarter sauce came in packets but ranch came in small cup. Chicken strips were meaty, and the fish was very flaky. Prefer this place to Pop's Burgers on Taft Hwy.

They are notorious for having the newest trendy sweet treats. Their Instagram is very active and frequently posting new reasons to keep coming back. On this visit, I wanted to try their new hot chocolate with a toasted marshmallow rim, and it did not disappoint. It was a very rich and semi-sweet hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon, just like my momma makes it. My sister had the Dubai-style hot chocolate, which had a pistachio topping; she had no complaints. We also decided to try the Dubai style chocolate covered strawberries; the strawberries were a bit tart, but the toppings were all delicious. Just a heads up, they are an outdoor-only seating establishment, so come prepared. They do, however, have good lighting and patio heaters to help. It tends to stay pretty busy, especially on weekend nights, so wait times can be a little long, but they are worth the wait.

Inside has a gray, modern aesthetic and some seating from bar stools to tables with chairs + booth. I think the ambiance is good to stay and chat with friends for awhile. Lots of options on the menu, the cashier was nice, customer service 4/5. Ordered Matcha Oreo Slush ($7.95), 2.5/5. It was sweet from the crushed oreos and chocolate drizzle on the side. Besides that, the slush itself didn't have too much of a taste, either too icy or milky. Costs $1 for water+ice cup. Ordered 3 piece Boong O Pang ($9.95 + $2 flavors), 2/5 . They were slightly crispy on the edges but mostly soft. I ordered the Oreo Nutella (+$1) which was my favorite though it didn't have too much Nutella filling. Next was regular custard which it appears they used a type of custard that's very sweet and more of a jello consistency. Last was Strawberry Custard (+$1), unfortunately it appears they used chunks of strawberries that either were out too long or stewed in something as the strawberries were very sour and soggy and tasted a bit fermented. It was these strawberry bits with the regular custard but the strawberries threw me off so I ended up not finishing. The underwhelming flavors on the inside and the lack of crisp on the outside made these soggy desserts that I would not order again.

I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

Upon entry I was taken aback by the beautiful art that appears hand painted on the wall. It is beautiful! I wanted to get a feel for what Yemeni coffee is and how it differs from other regional coffees and I did not get that. We ordered a coffee and a matcha and I was able to try and enjoy both. I think it's good coffee and matcha I just didn't understand how their product differed from anything else. It's not bad and I would get it again but I didn't get a feel for the region. I remember when I tried Turkish coffee for the first time and the richness of flavor and strength, Salvadoran coffee and its rich aromatics, Palestinian and its rich nutty textures via spice, but here I was left wondering. Yes, this is a pistachio coffee, but what makes it different? I don't know. Yes, this is a pistachio matcha, but what made it different. Don't know. Good sure, but I can't really describe how it is unique. The baklava, certainly, provided this rich information. Compared to other baklavas it was drier and crunchier in a way that was satisfying and light. I would prefer to eat this baklava if I was watching my sugar and calories, which coincidently I currently am. Other baklavas are more decadent and syrup/sugar heavy. I was left with a want for more out of how light and delicious they are. I hope to try their cake offerings soon! Would return to continue trying their menu and would love to see a no straw option for the lid along with a more sustainable cup!

Suga Shack is small, it's a little dive thru area and but it's easy to find and navigate through. They take your order at one window and get it to you on the other side. It was staffed by one person last night but she was very friendly. I had a bubble waffle with strawberries, banana and hot fudge. My wife had the half baked cookie. It came out pretty quick, and everything looked good. It was $20 for the 2 desserts so it's not the cheapest option. Overall everything tasted pretty good, the strawberries were very fresh, good amount of banana as well. As mentioned by another review the waffle is cooked fresh so the ice cream does melt on it quickly it's not something that travels well. My wife liked hers as well, she said the cookie was a little meh but the ice cream and toppings were good. It was a good experience, I don't think we'll rush back but if we're looking for dessert in the future and want something unique we may drop back by.
