    Very clean looking, vibrant colors as you enter. Good display is hard to see if you are a visual person. I was greeted by the cashier and she took my order within minutes. It's the serving of the food that takes a while. I went some minutes after 5 pm. They don't seem to be organized with the distribution of the food. I watched customers come in and order and got their food before I did. The Sweet Chili Chicken was delicious. It's fried chicken tossed in sweet chili sauce upon order. The rice and peas tasted fresh and you could taste the coconut milk with each bite.

    Curry Goat

    Terrible! My first time going there and I ordered a medium curry goat/rice and peas drove 30min for pure bones and a soup like mess! I tried to call and let them know and the girl who answered the call basically said to me "curry goat has bones" like I'm dumb. The bones were not even attached to the meat just bits of meet and pure bones and gravy. It was like they didn't have enough and just gave me the bits and pieces left in a whole bunch of gravy and bones. Almost $20 for basically trash. The taste was ok at best. The macaroni salad that came on the side was subpar and too sweet. I wouldn't normally leave a review if I didn't enjoy a food but this was total disrespect and lack of accountability on their part.

It is in…read moredowntown Oakland park so it's a great option while strolling along at one of the great breweries and wanting dinner too! I ordered the double bmc smash burger and it came out hot and delicious! I loved the grilled onions on the burger and thought they have a fantastic sauce on the burgers. When getting a smash burger you have to get a double too! Now the one disappointing aspect was I ordered the fries and they definitely left a little to be desired as I wish you got some more with an order. Typically you can share a fry but this one was a little too small to share. I definitely will be back again soon as I want to try to the spicy smash burger and I hope it delivers as well as the bmc smash burger did! This is by far one of the better smash burger spots in broward so give it a try, it's worth the drive even if you aren't in Oakland park! Especially for the fact that parking in the area is free!

On my first visit I was informed that the burger to bun ratio was optimized for a double by design. I took their word for it and I have been very pleased! They have four tables and a bunch of counter space, I always eat there so the Burger is as fresh as possible. My only complaint is that parking can be rough, but if you don't mind walking a block or so it's not unmanageable

Finally I was going to take the burgers as is. The guy says sorry we can't make this burger to go. It's a burger place that has carry out but won't make a burger to go and won't let you make any modifications. Bad experience, don't recommend. Will never come back. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Thank you for the reply. I originally wanted to X-tudo but I was refused to substitute the bug without seeds, every burger that is taken to go is never as good as dining in. As a customer I could have been given the option. The person could have just said it's not as good but it's your choice. I was never offered a chance to speak with a manager, I was just told NO. As a customer it should be up to me what burger I want to order, the ability to modify it and dine in or out. If I pay for it then it shouldn't matter if I take it home or just throw it out. I was frustrated because anything I asked for was met with a No, and was not offered to speak to a manager. It was the attitude take it or leave it, so I did. If the person I spoke with offered to involve a manager or try to find a solution I would have not written a review. I never do but this time I took the time to write one, that should say something. Thank you for your reply

    After a major disappointment finding out that Gabose Pocha was closed for renovations, we ended up…read moreat this Irish pub I used to visit years ago. When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

I do like that the location is very easy to find but parking can be a little ridiculous especially on a busy thing, because the lot is shared with a handful of other businesses. The location is very clean and I like how there are a couple touch screens where you can order your food if you choose not to want to go to the front and order with a person. I usually get the $10 Char meal which is a half Santa Fe burger, a side, five chicken nuggets and a soda . Definitely worth the price! The Santa Fe Charburger is wonderful and the guacamole on it always tastes fresh! The burger is always cooked perfectly and I like the nice little crusted Edge it has because it's a smashburger. The chicken nuggets are also always massive and very juicy. I will say that the staff could maybe be a little more friendly, more times than not my food is served with just being placed on the counter and then the worker walking away without saying much. I do like that I see the manager doing a lot of work while I'm here and you can definitely tell that the female manager keeps everybody in line!

The location is always clean and the staff is very helpful and ready to serve/take my order each time I am there! They also inform me of the specials and my order usually is the $10 meal deal which is the 'Gotta habit deal'. This is a half Santa Barbara char burger with a side salad or fries and then a 5 pc chicken bites and soda! The burger is wonderful and the perfect size with all the rest of the food I get. The burger is always cooked perfectly! The fries are good but nothing to write home about. I also love how crispy and juicy the nuggets always are and how well they go with the BBQ dipping sauce they have! I am not a fan of Pepsi so I usually get their lemonades which are very good but insanely sugary and sweet so I usually dilute it a little bit. The location is cool because they also have kiosks to order your food so you don't need to have too much interaction with people if that isn't your speed lol! The place is usually clean but the bathroom could use a little TLC from the couple times I have stopped in in while waiting for my order to be cooked and given to me!

After the way we were treated, I probably won't be back.
