Thanks to a recent Yelp Elite event, I got to check out Mister Sizzle's "rebirth" as a food trailer…read morewith a small, focused smash burgers and fries menu, behind Shalooby Loofer, a small craft brewery, taproom in downtown Clarence, NY. All-in-all, I had a good experience!
I arrived around 6:30pm on a Wednesday, parking in the public parking lot next to the taproom. There's also street parking available but on a Wednesday, there were plenty of free spots in the public parking lot. As I walked over, I could hear live music and when I arrived, I could either walk into the taproom or walk around to the back and see the band playing. In the back, it's a large area with a good-size patio filled with tables and seats, as well as Mister Sizzle's food trailer. Once I grabbed a Shalooby Loofer beer and grabbed a table inside with two family members, each of us took turns going out to Mister Sizzle's trailer and placing our order. When I went to order, I was shocked to see only two people working - A gentleman manning the grills and fryers, who I believe was the owner of Mister Sizzle's, Chris, and a young woman who took the orders, built the sandwiches and plated every order. I could tell they were hustling so I didn't have too long an interaction with either of them, but they were friendly enough!
Now, this is where I have to take away a star as the order management system they were using was not organized. I placed my order around 6:50pm and didn't get my meal until after 7:30pm, a long time to wait for a smash burger and fries. To elaborate, I met two family members here for dinner. One placed their order before me and the other placed their order about 10 minutes after me. The one who placed their order after me received a pager while the other family member and I did not, so I was wondering if they were going to come inside the taproom with my food or if they were just going to continuously shout my name. So the family member who ordered after me was the first to get their order, which was strange. When that happened, I walked out to the trailer and made sure I didn't miss anything - The gentleman working the grills/fryers told me they were swamped and were backed up, apologizing profusely, and the young woman ensured me she would come into the taproom with my order when it was ready. It was about 15-20 minutes after that when I got my food, but the family member who ordered before me still hadn't received their food. It was another 15 minutes before they got their food. All of this is to say the order management system still has a few "kinks" to work out, waiting 30-45 minutes for smash burgers and fries is extreme. It was inconvenient but I have faith that the crew at Mister Sizzle's will iron these issues out in the coming weeks/months as this setup is relatively new still, as of June 2026.
But the food? Phenomenal! I ordered a "Classic" burger, which is a quarter pound smash patty topped with American cheese, ketchup, mustard, and pickles with diced onion underneath the patty sandwiched between a brioche bun, as well as their Cheese Fries, adding bacon for a small upcharge. The "Classic" was excellent, exactly what pops into my head when I think of a cheeseburger! I loved the gooey, melty American cheese on top that sticks a little to the wrapper, and they are more than generous with the condiments - Guaranteed you'll "wear" the burger on your face. haha I rarely, if ever, order cheese fries so this was a rare treat and well worth it! The fries were cooked perfectly, hot and the right amount of crispy without being crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. Adding the bacon, which seemed to be cooked on the grill, was a nice addition and pouring the cheese on top of all of it was truly decadent, delicious! In terms of pricing, the "Classic" burger is the most affordable burger on the menu and the cheese fries with bacon was fairly-priced so all of that and a beer is in line with many restaurants as of 2026.
I'm really happy to have Mister Sizzle's back! I really like the smaller, more focused burger and fries menu and that they're teaming up with a local craft brewery. They need to iron out their order management system woes, but I'm not concerned they'll figure that out. The Augie's and Mister Sizzle's crew have the experience and talent and I'm more than happy to come back again.
