    Proper Burger is located behind Vinyl Music with outside bar on Garden Street. What is so special about this burger? Well it's a smashed burger. Believe it or not, even when smashed it was still juicy. Served in a brioche bun, is what makes their burger tasty. The burger is perfectly seasoned with slight crisp texture and juicy. Smashed burger seems to be the recent trend; although, Steak and Shake and Culver's with their butter smashed burger has been around. Proper Burger tastes better. Is it worth $9 for a single? I will leave that to you. $3 extra for the half a tray of waffle fries. A can of soda was over $2. I guess from a single burger, fries and can of soda is about $15. Service is simple, not full service. You order as if ordering from a food struck. They give you a beeper and will buzz you when your order is ready. It's not a full service restaurant and during check out they suggest a tip with their touch pad Point of Sale system. I still have a slight issue with non full service restaurant suggesting a 15% - 25%. To me, it's a big turn off. I did give in and gave a 20%. Is it well deserve? No. Is it a deterrent for me to come back in the future? Definitely. Especially when Ketchup, Mayonnaise, and Mustard are served on a side in single packets. For this, I gave them 3 stars instead of 4. When you expect a tip, you better give full service. For this they lost a star. It's a cute little pocket to hang out when it's a nice day outside.

    Their smash style burgers slap, especially with shrooms and onions. The tallow fries are also delicious. I highly recommend. Outdoor environment, bar and service we're all excellent as well.

    Excellent burger! Give this place a try it's small next to a bar so the best of both worlds. I had the single with everything and fries. The burger was cook perfect, I had a single and it was just right. The fries are seasoned a half basket is food for 2 people. It's a food truck and the seating is outside. The service was quick but, I was the only one eating. Must try will definitely come back.

    The outside was nice the the food was very bland and expensive. The bun was the only good part everything including the fries lacked flavor big time. Wouldn't come back sadly.

    We ordered online. When we arrived, the guy was sitting outside on his tablet by the fan. Told him we were picking up an online order and he said it would be a few minutes. We got our order about 10 minutes later and headed home. This was a WASTE of $35! The burgers aren't even edible, they are burnt, dried out and just a big disappointment. I unfortunately don't live close enough to go back and ask for him to attempt to make them again or give me a refund. Sadly you've lost a customer.

    Brown Bagger Food Truck Pensacola's brown‑paper‑bagged…read morebeauty of burger bliss man, lemme tell ya, nothing hits quite like a food truck burger when the spirit calls for something honest, greasy, and downright soulful. It's one thing to swing into a classy restaurant or belly up to a fine bar stool, but sometimes an old coot just wants a bun in one hand and the smell of grill smoke on his boots. That's where Brown Bagger delivers the goods, and then some. I pulled up to that truck on a sun‑soaked afternoon, and there was this fella let's call him Big Mike on the flattop slinging patties like he was born flipping 'em. Big Mike didn't just make my double Wagyu smash; he gave me a PhD in burger philosophy between laughs. "You ever notice," he said while slapping that sizzling meat like a pro wrestler body‑slamming a bad guy, "a burger's only as honest as the fist that builds it?" I tell ya what that man could sell sand in the desert and make you thank him for it. He stacked cheese, grilled onions, and that signature Bagger Sauce onto that bun with the sort of focus you usually only see from surgeons and ex‑wives signing divorce papers. Those burgers? Forget just good they're the kind of juicy, salty, glorious mess that makes you smack your lips and swear solemn oaths you never thought you'd swear in public. Smash‑style wagyu patties, fresh fixings, and just enough attitude to remind you that this? This is the golden era of eating food trucks parked next to bars, cold beer close at hand, and a butcher's apron of stories to take home with ya. So if you find yourself in Pensacola with a hankerin' for something that'll make you slap your knee and grin like a mule eatin' briars, roll your way over to the Brown Bagger. It ain't just a burger it's a roadside sermon in a bag, preached by a man who knows his beef and your funny bone. Amen.

    This is THE BEST burger ever! Soft buns, juicy + well-seasoned patties, and very crisp very fresh…read moretoppings. They have so many options to customize your meal anyone is sure to find something perfect for them. I much appreciated the outdoor seating patio, plenty of space and fans to keep it cool while you eat. I absolutely loved the Bagger Burger and truffle fries! The crew here is such a well oiled machine and seem to be genuinely enjoying their work which definitely shines through into t exceptional customer service.

As long-time fans of Vietnamese cuisine, we missed our usual Pho and Vermicelli bowls, but the fried rice and Bahn Mi more than made up for it. The owner is incredibly sweet and personalizes every order. We loved the convenience of grabbing our food. We decided to go all-in on their fried rice, ordering both the Chicken and Shrimp versions & Banh Mi. Since they don't do Pho or a Vermicelli bowl, the Bahn Mi is their absolute superstar. The bread has that essential light, crackly crust, and the roasted red pork is incredibly tender with just the right amount of sweetness. The rice had that perfect flavor without being greasy. The shrimp were surprisingly large and fresh, and the chicken was tender and well-marinated. Vietnamese Iced Coffee was the highlight. It was thick, syrupy, and bold with a strong caffeine kick balanced by sweet condensed milk. It paired perfectly with the savory fried rice & Bahn Mi. Di Da is a hidden gem for anyone who appreciates authentic, home-style Vietnamese cooking. Whether you're a local or just staying nearby, it's a must-visit.
