    Pnp fries
    Jenn S.

    I gave 3 stars because the burger was really good, but unfortunately, the service and overall experience were lacking. Honestly, I got less energy from this place than I would from a food truck. The PNP fries were over $10, yet they came with barely any sauce and hardly any cheese. The grilled onions added for extra were placed underneath the fries and cheese, so you'd practically need a spoon to actually get to them. I went back and paid an additional $1.50 for extra sauce to make up for the lack of it, and they gave me a tiny little cup. On top of that, my to-go order didn't come with any forks or napkins. When I went back to ask for some, the staff seemed annoyed. The burger itself was really good, which is why I gave 3 stars, but for the price, I expected better portions, attention to detail, and customer service.

    The burgers here were very tasty and packed with flavor. My boyfriend ordered 2 cheeseburgers (double the protein) and I got the grilled smash (double the protein) and a side of their fries with their sauce and cheese melted on top. The turnaround time on our order was very short, which we appreciated since we came hungry. The only critique about my burger and fries was that I wished it wasn't so soggy, but I think that's moreso preference. Otherwise, great spot, quick service and less guilty option.

    I was excited to try this spot out based on how it was advertised. The spot is located in The OC Mix, which I wish was busier than it was on a Friday night. Overall, their burgers and fries are tasty and worth trying. I couldn't tell a huge difference but I felt better about what I was consuming. Definitely pricey though!

    YUMMYYYYY!!! If you like In-n-out, think of this place as the healthier, better tasting cousin. Organic grass fed beef burgers + fries cooked in beef tallow was *chefs kiss* The PnP fries are very similar to animal style fries, however these fries are so much better in terms of the fry type & additional condiments added. Everything about this place is beyond clean from their food to the place itself. Like no joke, the establishment was so clean:) I wish we had this place in San Diego. I'd definitely come back again.

    Cheeseburger: Looks super tasty, but I wasn't particularly wowed by the flavor. It might be because they focus on healthier ingredients, but the beef patty itself is very thin and kind of gets lost under the other ingredients. The Fries: Got the fresh, hand-cut fries fried in beef tallow with less salt. Unfortunately, they were more soggy than crispy. Not too much flavor. I prefer very thin crispy fries so this just wasn't that good imo. Their signature Pn'P dipping sauce is yummy though. Maybe I'm just used to a classic, unhealthier smash burger, but the small burger and soggy fries didn't quite hit the spot for me. Glad they focus on higher-quality ingredients, but it just wasn't my favorite burger place.

    Counter - self order - some menu confusion w/ little help from cooks
    John S.

    I've eaten my way through a lot of smash burgers over the years, so maybe my expectations are a little higher than most. P&P landed in the good, not great category for me. The burger had plenty of gooey melted cheese, grilled onions, and rich, beefy flavor. What it lacked was that deep, crispy crust that makes a smash burger memorable. It was satisfying, just not a "wow" burger. The real surprise was the beef tallow fries. Thin cut, crispy, well seasoned, and probably my favorite part of the meal. The ordering process could be smoother. Everything is done through a self-service kiosk, and then your food is placed on the pickup counter. The menu is small, but it's oddly confusing. I noticed several people standing there trying to figure it out. The difference between the cheeseburger and smash burger wasn't very clear, and the pricing jumps quickly as you add patties. The shopping center itself is a cool place to hang out with plenty of outdoor seating, and parking is easy once you find your way around. If you're nearby and craving a smash burger, it's worth stopping in. But if you're driving across Orange County looking for a burger that will blow you away, this probably isn't the one. Maybe I've become a de facto burger critic without the credentials...just years of eating my way through OC, one burger at a time. That's the blessing and the curse. I've had enough great burgers that it takes something truly special to impress me. PNP is good...just not great.

    Fries... Mushy but I actually liked them!
    Scott B.

    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.

    Let's see how delicious it is!

    It was a delicious burger! We had a three level, I mean, three patty burger. Family members love, the fact that it was all natural ingredients, and no seed oils. They bake their bread there as well. The burger meat Patty was delicious and moist & had a great flavorful taste to it.

    Double Hamburger, beef tallow fries, and mexican cola
    Stacy T.

    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)

    Grilled Smash
    Natalie R.

    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!

    Fresh Hand-Cut Fries
    Zara A.

    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.

    Tina N.

    They are located at Soco and have indoor and outdoor seating. The service was nice because they greeted you and asked if I had any questions. I ordered through the kiosk. For the burger I opted for the 2 patties. It was my first time eating a smash burger and it tasted good and crispy. However the price is quite pricey for a burger but they do use grass fed beef. They also package your burger in a bag. There was also a few people ahead of me and I thought the food came out at a reasonable time. Overall, it was a nice experience.

If you go just down the block to Flower Child the manager is the one working at the counter handing our orders, or delivering orders to tables and interacting with the guests. Never saw him use a laptop but I'm certain he does. But the manager said goodbye to us as we left. A chicken sandwich with chicken and cole slaw was made with chicken that we very flat and hard, and had no real taste at all. I think we've been trained to get all our flavor from sauces - they had lots of sauces available and brought them to the table on request. A basket of sweat potato fried was undercooked and too soft. Not so good even with salt and lots of sauces. Of course we didn't eat the signature burger....that's what The Stand is known for...so we didn't really give them a chance for their home run. The place was about 25% full at about 3pm so ambiance was fairly quiet and service was quick. Not sure about a return visit. We're on the fence.

They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.
