Came for dinner and it was a lovely experience, although defining factor for me was cost. Food: 10/10 in taste, 5/10 in cost. It was so deliciously seasoned and definitely didn't feel oily or fattening. The beef tallow fries are to die for!!! I got the double sized and that costed me ~$14 and fries ($6) and I unfortunately was not satiated. For reference, 1 hamburger at In-n-out and fries would have me full. I could've eaten 2 triple burgers and a side of fries to be satisfied, but that would've run easily for $35+. I also tried the Pn-P fries, which wasn't any lthing special for an additional $4 to the cost, so I'd recommend just getting the normal fries. P.s. the group I came with ordered the same as me and had to go back to order another because yes, it was THAT good, but also... one burger and fries were not as fulfilling. Service 9/10: solid wait especially for dinner time but not bad. You order on kiosk and can help yourself to the fridge if you ordered a drink. Ambiance 8/10: plenty of parking outside but dining area inside restaurant itself is a bit limited. However, this location is in a mini mall full of furniture, knick knacks, and smaller business stores, and there are plenty of seating around the restaurant. Overall, I have yet to find a tastier smash burger spot in OC, but due to cost, I'll return when I am desperately craving a smash burger.
Tried out Palms n' Patties after seeing them all over the socials and yeah, I can see why they're gaining quite the following. This place was packed and the grub explains why; burgers were balanced and surprisingly not heavy for being so savory and the fries were excellent in their crispiness (I like them on the thinner side) and flavor (love that beef tallow )! Space is very limited but the ambiance is very relaxed and wait was a bit long but service was solid. : Double Cheeseburger, Double Smashburger, Fries (fried in beef tallow)
I was excited to try this place as the non seed oil and beef tallow "healthier" burger option but the price and size just can't justify the hefty price point for a decent burger. All burgers have a smash patty and are good but nothing impressive. It was $13 dollars for a double double which was not even that big. Best option is the SMASH burger and I liked it without pickles to emphasize the butteriness of the burger. The beef tallow fries were ok but nothing special. I will say I felt pretty light after so maybe the better ingredients did do something but I did crave another burger and felt it defeated the purpose. It was good but fell short from my high expectation.
It's good quality ingredients, but I can't really recommend a burger, fires and a Coke for 30 bucks ordered off a touch screen. Got a double burger which still was small and fries which were pretty mushy, but fried in beef tallow so you can feel better about them. Seating is rough inside nice outside but nice outside. It's the old Taco Maria spot, so a pleasant place to chat and watch the goings on. Service at pickup was relatively quick with a large bag. It's fine, but so is In and Out which is a third the price.
Came by to check out during lunch hour with a few colleagues. Ordering is straight forward since it's off a tablet. You're able to make adjustments to your liking. Interior and aesthetic was cool with the white and blue/green colors. Got to try a side of fries and a double grilled smash. You can taste the difference in how the fries are prepped. As for the burger, it tasted decent. It did leave me wanting to eat more. Maybe because it was lunch rush, the quality was not as good as I hoped for. Pricing for items was another reason for the best review. Nonetheless, cool establishment to checkout and try.
After seeing on social media, this burger place uses grass fed organic beef, no seed oils and organic options, I was curious. It's in a really cute area called OC Mix. Beautiful patio area to sit. The restaurant is very simple, order at a keypad, orders are grilled to order. We ordered the smash burger and the sourdough burger plus fries. The sourdough burger was excellent. Double patty with grilled onions and cheese, sauce. The smash burger was ok, it wasn't the best I've had. The French fries were very good. I would come back for the sourdough melt, and maybe try the smash burger but as a double patty. I would recommend coming here, I'll be back, I want to try a couple of other options too.
I found Palms & Patties on TikTok and expected something amazing, but it didn't quite deliver. The location felt odd, kind of tucked away, and the vibe was off as soon as we walked in. No greeting, no welcome, just five guys behind the counter chatting. There was only one kiosk for orders, and no one actively helping. We waited about five minutes just to place an order, and even another customer commented on how inefficient it was. Seating wasn't great either. The tables were small and not ideal for groups. We had to grab an extra chair ourselves. When the food finally came, the burger was tasty but super greasy, and it didn't fill me up. I'd need a double or triple next time, which isn't ideal. The food was decent, but the service and experience were lacking.
Love the tallow fries! The texture and flavor are wonderful. The burger itself is also very good, I wish the patty had a bit more meat so I'd have to get a double next time if I want to feel full. As a first timer I didn't realize we just place order ourselves at the little cash register kiosk thing and was just standing there stupidly, wondering why none of the staff would turn around. Someone behind me clued me in, annoyed, and jumped in front of me since it appeared I was taking too long. Maybe make any signage about how to order so big you can't miss it? I didn't see anything around me indicating how to order :( Weird that it's in a food court for a furniture shopping area. Beautiful design of outdoor area, but also felt really...I don't know the word for it...sterile? Lacking warmth? Anyway, the food is worth coming back for if we happen to be in the area.
Totally worth the hype! Usually when I eat burgers and fries I feel like crap after from the onslaught of seed oils and calories. At Palms n' Patties it's like I had a kale salad and beet juice smoothie. Even though I had a burger and fries lol. Ordering could not be easier. Kiosk system, super easy to understand. The staff were friendly and asked if we needed any help. Seating is ample on the patio and the shopping center is MASSIVE with 20 higher end furniture stores and restaurants. Prices are higher because you're getting a higher quality product. I have no problem paying more for grass-fed organic beef, organic cheddar and fries cooked in beef tallow. If you think it's too expensive then it's too expensive for you. Your car payment is $800/mo but clean food is too much, right. Best French fries in OC hands down. I would come back here just to eat a huge order of fries. They were absolutely cooked a perfect perfection and didn't give me any of the seed oil inflammatory feeling after I've been dreaming about these fries since I had them. You can't really screw up burgers, and these Smashburger's were excellent with grilled onions and organic cheddar cheese. I got mine lettuce wrapped. 9.7/10, best of the best. I can't wait come back.
Just ate here with a couple other guys, and we crushed these burgers. My boy piled a handful of the fries onto the patties and smashed them in there: so good! Great parking, clean bathrooms, super busy, but FAST and thoughtful: the manager came around the counter and came and asked me, "are you the gentleman who asked about dairy in the buns?" and let me know the sourdough is safe. They also didn't blink when I noticed they buttered the bread, and toasted new bread dry. Ambiance is nice, music is chill and good. In n Out wishes they could
Costa Mesa, Ca. The Burger here is ok, nothing great. The paper thin patty is pretty much overwhelmed by the bun and sauce. The sauce provided the flavor, even the jalapeños did little to add. The burger is served up in a disposable carton that is kind of sterile looking and offered up a poor presentation, but who cares, right? I had trouble with the kiosk when ordering. The people working here do not interact to assist. A kind person in line helped but he had trouble with a step necessary to continue also. Not really old people friendly. The seating is outside in a patio area which has a vibe like a corporate campus lunch area, minus the Corn Hole platforms.
We went here to check out what all the hype was about. I had super high hopes because it really looked good on all the Instagram reviews. So when we showed up there was a long line so make sure you're not super hungry. When you place your order you'll be placing it on a kiosk. We were a little confused because there were no signs as to where to order but figured it out. When we finally got our food the order was wrong we ordered 2 burgers plain and 2 burgers with no onions. We got 4 burgers with everything on them . When I went up to let them know the order was wrong they were a tad rude and said I needed to wait longer. I didn't take offense because they were super busy and my family is in the service industry so I understand the pressure. Since I didn't want to wait because the kids were also starving I told them I would just pick it off. The fries were ok, I didn't think it was special. The burgers were also small for the price in my opinion! I ordered a double patty and it seemed like it was only a single patty . I really wanted to like this place but for the trouble and price I don't think I'll be coming back.
I heard about their organic grass-fed beef smash burgers cooked with no seed oils and am happy that they totally lived up to the hype. I was worried that the line would be crazy long since we were there at noon on a Sunday but the line actually started after we placed our order. You self-order at the tablet and there is only 1 tablet. The burgers look smaller since they are smash-style burgers but are actually very filling. The PnP fries fried in beef tallow are so unique. Their housemade aioli really shines in the fries as you can taste it even more than you can in the burger. We opted for Parmesan for the cheese topping and the whole thing solidifies into a sheet on top of the fries. Next time, if there is no line, I would want to try ordering the fries after we finish our burgers to enjoy the fries while they are fresh and still hot. The nice aesthetics of the OC mix really contributes to a nice ambience when eating here. There is seating on their store patio outside and a couple small tables inside. There is a courtyard with a water fountain right outside it with other tables as well. There is a restroom inside the adjoining food court area with one restroom per gender so lines could be long when it's the lunch rush time. This was definitely worth the visit!

This is a tough review... it's going to sound critical but I really did love this place and when in the area I will for sure hit it up! Let's start with ordering... There is one tablet for ordering which is fine if it's empty but if you have people waiting you could feel a lot of pressure and you have to go through and make many selections for a burger, sides, etc... so ordering can be a slow process. The interior was clean and loud with the concrete floors, but it's a spot that manages every napkin going out. The to-go bag (which we ate there but I guess hit to-go unknowingly on the tablet) was really thick so no tallow grease from the fries leaking in you, which would be nice. The food - the burgers were really, really good! You could for sure taste the difference in quality and tallow. The sauces were good but expensive for what you get. The fries, were soggy which I usually can't stand (I like a crispy fry order "light well fries" as In-n-Out) but they were honestly so good tasting I didn't care how limp they were because.... They actually tasted like potatoes unlike many fries that just taste bland and are more of a ketchup or sauce delivery device. Overall this place was great. Be prepared to be charged for any and everything, which I think makes the initial price look better but in the end you're going to end up around $20 a burger. To save some $$$ being your own drink, the drinks are overly expensive! Should you go? I don't think you walk away with even an ounce of regret but you will walk away with less in your bank account. read more

always on the lookout for a good burger place and finally got to try this one! we got two single smash burgers, one with grilled onions and the other with raw onions and no pickles, and a side of beef tallow fries. i personally liked the flavor of the one with no grilled onions and pickles since i was able to taste the flavor of the burger more! the fries were pretty yummy i like how crispy and salty they were!! since this place is part of a food hall, the inside is pretty small but it has tons of outdoor seating. very straight forward ordering process since you order at a kiosk. however you might get unlucky (like me) and get stuck behind someone taking more than 5 minutes to order... i just wished the workers would help out with taking orders, but they don't even greet customers. not a bad burger place; just expensive and customer service was a little lackluster. read more

Wow what a gem in the middle of the soco area! The menu is pretty simple, we got a cheeseburger and smash burger(with jalepenos) and it was definitely one of the best burgers I've had. We also got the pnp fries with parmesan and omg it was divineeeee. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too busy and we were able to sit on the outdoor patio. Hope this place lasts cause we will definitely be back! read more

Solid smash burger spot. I feel like a lot of the times smash burgers can feel overly greasy or so but that wasn't the case here. Got the grilled smashburger with double patties. The patties had the nice laced edges you look for in a smash burger. Portions size I think is a bit small, maybe because it's like healthy oils or something it didn't feel as filling as other burgers. One thing I will say for the grilled smashburgers definitely won't be as good if we got it takeout instead of eating there. The bottom bun got progressively more soggy as we ate. I think the sandwich would fall apart if we took it home Togo. Crispiness of the fries were good. They would suffer the same fate as the burgers if we got it takeout. I wish they were salted a little bit more. read more

Right in the middle of SOCO shopping center. Order at the register - seems like on an iPad (or online in advance like we did). Indoor and outdoor seating in a casual atmosphere. Minimal staff interaction. We tried the cheeseburger, smash burger, fries, and PNP fries (acronym for their name), which comes with cheese and sauce on them. Everything was great! Not the biggest quantities, but you can taste the quality. Small menu - we got nearly all of their food offerings. The two other burgers cost nearly twice as much, so we skipped them. Cost us mid $30s with tax and small tip as of Mar 2026. read more

Great smash burgers, fries, and sauces. It's as simple as that. Definitely worth checking out! read more
My son found Palms n Patties and couldn't say enough great things about it so I was super excited to check them out. We came out on a Sunday afternoon and found them to be comfortable busy. All the ordering in store is done at a kiosk, no intentional interaction with the workers. With that in mind, I was mildly bothered that they actually had a tip jar out. Why exactly would I tip if no assistance was given? But i digress. Order placing was easy and self explanatory. When your order is ready they call your name ~ the ONLY time interaction is made (unless you need to ask for extra napkins and condiments). Anyway, they have a very small indoor dining area and a little bigger outdoor patio. The shopping center it's in has some seating that could be utilized if their dining areas are full. The burgers were very good! Their fries are hand cut and cooked in tallow and they were SO good! Drink choices are limited to some bottles of sparkling water and healthy (probiotic) sodas in a serve yourself fridge. Besides limited worker interaction, I also question why they added a "large party fee" of 5% to my order when there were only 3 people in my party AND we placed our own order AND we cleaned our table up after ourselves when we left. No where on their menu is this fee mentioned. At least in traditional sit down restaurants they clearly note on the menu that parties of (usually) 6 or more will be charged a standard tip automatically. Is it even okay to place a surcharge on something without mentioning it first? In the end, the food is very good, but some of the factors mentioned won't have me going out of my way to return read more
Honestly I'm not usually the type of person to get a burger at any place besides In N Out but I saw there was a long line out the door so I was curious to try it. The interior inside is quite small and there is limited seating, but there is more space and seating outside of the store. There is a very modernized retro-y feel to the place and I like the color palette that they used for the decor. Their burgers are advertised "100% organic, grass-fed beef never compromised, never processed and cooked without seed oils." Now burgers aren't something you necessarily eat when you're trying to be healthy, but I was intrigued to find out if the higher prices and aesthetic concept would mean a somewhat good, healthier burger that doesn't compromise on taste. I ordered a cheeseburger and pnp fries. I will say I was shocked that upon eating it, it was very delicious but also felt very light and nongreasy. Portion was on the smaller side and a single cheeseburger will run you 7.77, but honestly I did not feel gross after eating it and was very satisfied with the quality and taste. Pnp fries were a bit soggy since we waited to eat it when we got home, but wow the flavor you get from cooking the fries in tallow is honestly life changing and a huge upgrade from the regular oils typically used. These were really good and flavorful, but also, didn't feel as gross and greasy as a typical order of loaded fries. Definitely would come back here since it's not too far if I'm craving a healthier alternative for burgers and fries. read more
Okay so this location is in SOCO. I seen this on IG and personally I think it's a bit overhyped. Every order is Ala Cart. The prices for three burgers, 2 fries, and 3 drinks was almost 70 dollars which is ridiculous. The ambiance is fast pace and you order through a kiosk so there is no real service. The first burger was the sourdough double smash patty. The patty is smashed to a crisp which is pretty good. I added jalapeños for a kick and it didn't really disappoint. My burger was super soggy and messy. The meat is fresh as you can taste it. I give it a 3.9/5. The other two burgers were the basic smash, noting too impressive. 3/5. The first fries was not bad, for 7 dollars I expected more. It taste like In n Out with more seasoning. 2.9/5. The PnP fries was trash. Soggy and overly greasy. Which I get, it's like their version of animal style fries. 2/5. Overall I wouldn't come back. This is a one and done for me. read more
My husband and I came across Palms n' Patties while looking up nearby burger spots. The photos looked amazing, so we decided to give it a try. When you walk in, you order from a screen at the register, which makes it really easy to customize your order exactly how you want, with pretty much no room for error. We both ordered double cheeseburgers with a side of fries cooked in beef tallow (the menu mentions that they don't use seed oils). Our food was ready in under ten minutes. The burgers tasted super fresh, and you could the ingredients were of good quality. I didn't feel heavy afterwards at all. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out style fries, except they actually had great flavor. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back! read more

My hair stylist recommended me this place and I am so glad she did because it was amazing!! I came on a weekday evening and it was pretty late at night so there was no wait. The workers were so nice and gave me their recommendations! It's in the food court of a cute little shopping plaza. I wanted to order the grilled smash burger but I was so tired and wasn't thinking and ordered the cheeseburger. Regardless, it was still so delicious!! I loved the sauce and grilled onion, and the patty was so crispy but also super juicy. I can't even imagine how good it would taste with the grilled buns! I also got the fries, which are cooked in beef tallow. I'm usually never able to finish an entire portion of fries by myself, but I literally ate every single fry and was even digging around in my bag for any scraps. They reminded me of how fast food fries used to taste and was very nostalgic! I will definitely have to be back to try their grilled smash and get more of their fries. These were definitely one of the better burgers I've had! read more

Palms n Patties in SOCO Mix is pretty good, but be ready to wait during service rushes. There's only one ordering tablet, so the line crawls when it gets busy. Seating is limited too, though you can post up around the plaza if needed. Is it pricey? Yeah. Is it good? Also yeah. Burgers themselves are small, but rich. I can understand why some may find it unfilling. Buns are soft, patties are thin, and if you want texture, add onions or jalapeños for crunch. Fries are addictive. read more

Pretty pricey, but pretty darn good smash burgers and fries. The burgers actually are seasoned and taste great. The fries are cooked in beef tallow, and are thin cut (my favorite fry cut). Everything is made to order, in which you will wait a while for, but they are worth the bite! I definitely will be back here again for my burger fix. Thank you Palms n' Patties! read more

Got the grilled smash burger while on my lunch break. Luckily there was no wait despite coming at lunch time. Nice quaint spot and can see the kitchen where burgers are prepared. Smash pattie was fire and ended up finishing the entire burger lol. There's indoor seating and more available connected to the indoor plaza so I got some milk tea while I ate my burger. Next time, I'll try the fries! read more
Palms n' Patties is a fast-casual smashburger joint located at the OC Mix. Parking is easy here and there are always a good amount of open spots. Inside, they have a couple tables for seating and additional seating in their patio as well. For their menu, they have the classic burger and fry options. Wifey and I stopped by for a dinner date at the OC Mix and our order came out after about 10 minutes of ordering. We ended up getting the Grilled Smash, Cheeseburger, Beef Tallow Fries, and a Mexican Coke. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. If you are ever looking for a solid smashburger in the OC area, you definitely got to check this spot out! read more

First time here, came during my lunch break on Friday. I wish I had called it in or ordered online. The line gets extremely long, and unfortunately only one kiosk to order from. I was curious to try their smash burger and ordered a double, with hand-cut fries. Tons of flavor within the meat itself, fries had a good crunch to them, and the PnP sauce is a must. A bit pricey, definitely ala carte menu. Each item does add up. It is fast paced, the works are a friendly staff. They need to add two more kiosks to expedite the ordering process because it took too long. read more
Located in SoCo, palms n patties is a great new addition that is perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch. Lots of seating available whether inside, outside or even in the SoCo courtyard. Smashburger was solid & their fries had a nice crisp to them but could use a bit more salt. Food was prepared very quickly and plenty of parking available given its location. read more
Wow. This is one of the best smash burgers I've had yet! Self-serve ordering and self seating in a quaint courtyard area - made for a quick lunch with my wife! The staff was hustling and therefore a bit busy to engage with customers, but the food was to die for. read more
Great smashburgers! I love a spot that is anti seed oils. This plaza was totally empty on a Saturday night but this place had a line through the door so make sure to get here earlier before the dinner rush or else be ready to wait in line. We are big fan of grass fed beef and beef tallow so it was nice to see a location here instead of driving all the way to LA to find these joints. The food tasted really fresh and the patties had a really good crunch. The tallow fries were only OK. They were a little soggy and I just wish the portions were bigger. There were only 4 tables inside but there was also seating outside in the patio. Overall, pretty clean and well kept. read more

I first heard about Palms n' Patties from a podcast and I was excited to hear there is a location in OC! Located at the SOCO, it was pretty easy to find. There are a couple of tables inside and an outdoor area with tables as well however, you can also find open seating throughout SOCO. The interior is pretty minimal and the menu is easy to read. The staff is also super friendly. To order, you can either order online or order at the kiosk. I ordered the lettuce-wrapped burger, bf got the cheeseburger, and we shared an order of hand-cut fries. Ok so the lettuce wrapped is a lil messy but that's the nature of it BUT the flavor is oh so good. I loved how thin the smashburger was and it comes with a double patty. My bf loved his cheeseburger so much he wanted to get another one! In his words, he said "no notes". Lastly, the fries were a little too thin for my liking but still good. The plus side is that there are no seed oils, and it's organic grass feed patties! read more

We were craving a Smashed Burger and didn't want to drive far. Remembered that Palms n' Patties was in Costa Mesa. Checked and they closed at 10pm. Perfect cuz it was 8:30pm and hungry. We were greeted right away by the team. There was no one in line and you self order on their huge touchscreen, which I'm not a fan of but understand lots of restaurants are doing the same these days. We ordered the following items: 01. 3 Double Cheeseburgers $7.77 (1 patty) + $3.77 (extra patty) - 4 Stars - The Organic Grass Fed patties were really good. You can taste the beef was clean and grilled crispy. The Potato buns were a little too soggy for us, didn't really hold up as soon as they are wrapped up. We felt the Burgers were a tad too small (portion-wise). We liked how the cheese was melty and gooey. You don't feel gross after eating the burgers. Solid burgers that come with a $11.54 for a Double. The patties are so thin that I think most customers would order a Double so it's no longer a cheap burger. 02. Double Cheeseburger $7.77 + $3.77 extra patty + $1.27 (Jalapenos) - 4 Stars - IMO, with the Jalapenos, it was tasty, but c'mon $1.27 for a few jalapenos seems a bit much. It's not like those jalapenos were homemade. They tasted like the ones I buy in a can. Though I appreciate that the patties are 100% Organic Grass Fed Beef, Jalapenos are NOT that expensive. 03. Pn'P Fries $9.77 - 3 Stars - Fresh hand-cut Fries, cooked in beef tallow with Parmesan or Cheddar cheese and a housemade Pn'P sauce. The portion was on the smaller size. The Parmesan Cheese was stuck together and hard. They were not as crispy as we'd like. They tasted good fried in Beef Tallow. We think going with just the plain fries would've been better. The Pn'P sauce was a little sweet. Kinda pricey for the portion you get. PARKING - Located in the middle of the OC Mix Plaza, there are plenty of parking spaces in the middle of the plaza. Hard to find a spot surrounding the plaza. DECOR - The place is super clean with plenty of tables in their space but you can sit anywhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Staff was friendly when we walked in, but you don't really interact with them after the greeting. Felt a little automated/assembling line-ish. We stood there for a bit and no one would make eye contact with us or asked if we needed anything. Maybe it was 9pm and they were still working. FOODS - The patties are good and tasty, but the portion is fairly small. My kids can easily eat these as a snack/medium-size sliders. You don't feel weighted down after eating the burgers, great for your digestion. Clean quality foods but the add-ons are a little overpriced making your burger really $11.54 for a Double before you add anything on it. There are a ton of other great Smashed Burgers joints in town so you really don't get a great deal. It's more for the experience. VERDICT - We like the crispiness of the patties but we thought it was too thin and small in portion. The portion just doesn't match the price point at all. Their branding budget for their paper bags, wrappers seemed to be of super high-quality paper. I wouldn't even care if they handed me a brown paper bag. The family agreed that we've had better smashed burgers. We did enjoy trying them out. Not really sure we would come back. I'm not that far from 3 other really good smashed burger joints. I would've given them 4 Stars but the price for add-ons was overpriced so that turned us off. If I were to stack up 3-4 of their thin patties it would end up being 1 solid patty elsewhere. This is just some of the things that ran through my head while dining there. read more
Tasty burgers! The good: it's a burger grilled to order. It's fresh! The aroma is just like you want a burger. Interestingly, the fans and vents in the restaurant are so good that The restaurant is clean and the staff is super friendly! My big gripe is the small burger. You have to order at least two in order to get close to being full. In that instance, it's in between a slider and a burger. It's truly big for a slider. Just a tad small for a burger. Normally, I'd let that go, but I really love burgers and I like them a certain way. To be fair, my coworkers warned me to order two of them. Next time, I'll listen order more than one. 3.5 stars. Round it up to 4 read more
Not bad, not bad! I do prefer the fries over the burgers tho. 2 burgers and the fries with cheese and some add one were $35??? Burgers are pretty small even for a smash burger. Will likely add a patty next time and share. The patty melt is ok, but the smash burger for some reason tastes better. Fries were great, especially when they're fried in beef tallow! Crispy and flavorful. They use Martins potato rolls!! Jalepenos are extra spicy, I had to remove some to enjoy my burger. Minimal seating, like 6-8 chairs total. Lunch bang is still my fav, then Mario's ..? This is prolly 3rd or the spot in orange! read more
I was excited to try this new burger joint at the OC Mix. It has a small indoor dining area and outdoor patio. When ordering to go, there is only one kiosk and I was behind a family of four so it was a bit of a wait. I got the small cheeseburger and it's pretty bare for about $8, with only cheese and a few pieces of lettuce, no tomato and no onions. The burger was pretty bland due to lack of flavor and seasonings. The buns were very soft but barely seemed to hold the burger together after a few bites. I also got a side of fries which were pretty greasy. With a basic menu of only burgers and fries it feels like a high end fast food that won't fit everyone's budget and comfort level. read more
