Visited this place today with my family. Immediately we felt unwelcomed from the guy at the counter. He was rude and stand offish but we decided to order food anyways because we were hungry. After 30 min and seeing multiple customers come after and receive their food before us, so I decided to ask the worker who took our order what the hold up was. The worker replied with "were getting it started now". I asked for my money back and he was very quick to say no problem. I hate to say it but me and my family (Hispanic) felt VERY discriminated. The worker was white and all parties that received their food before us were white (ALL 6 PARTIES WERE WHITE AND CAME IN AFTER US BUT RECIEVED THEIR FOOD BEFORE US WITH NO EXPLANATION). TO ALL PLEASE READ THEIR REVIEWS AS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES AS WELL. ALL PEOPLE WHO ARENT WHITE SHOULD AVAOID SUPPORTING THIS RESTAURANT!!

Place is below mid. Soggy af burger, salty patty, bunk service. Grabbed a double cheeseburger and some ratty lookin bro you think would be able to make a simple cheeseburger but how they screwed that up is pretty bad. This ain’t au cheval. This is a backyard burger that is made my a punk bro who has zero taste buds bc he’s high af and only taste good to him. Wouldn’t pay me to eat here again and waste a meal.

The Friendly burgersI loved the ambience, basic street local restaurant, music and staff are cool.I had the dirty flat top and the All American with a side of fries and a Coke for 23$, a great deal compared to other burger places.Good amount of customers for a Monday night at 8:30 to be honest.Coke is bottled, a nice change from the fountain, no refill though which is a huge downside.There are multiple locations, not sure if this is the first one though—————————Burgers are juicy, fries are very salty, not really good.Burgers are all what u expect in a typical smash burger, a juicy patty with a good amount of cheese. The All American is just the dirty flat top with ketchup, pickles, and mustardHonestly just go for the Dirty flat top here, it is the deal.0Dirty flat top: Enjoyed it, 8/10-1 for size, idk it was just too small-1 for the amount of cheese, it was really generous I couldn’t fully enjoy the good beef. Note: I loved the crispy feel on the outside of the patties.All American: 6/10, just not my type when it comes to burgers.-1 for size-1 amount of cheese-2 Because the ketchup and mustard amounts are just alot, did not taste the patty.Overall:7/10-1 for no refill-1 for disgusting fries-1 for only having one good burger, perfect it all please or do not have it on the menu and keep it simple with one burgerDefinitely coming back as it is relatively cheap(8$ for the dirty flat top) and the quality of the Dirty Flat top is quite pleasing.Best burgers? I hope not, there is definitely room for a better burger.

Was gonna order food here but then noticed the staff pictures. One had 666 and an upside down pentagram on it. Lost my appetite.

It’s 12:44 and the doors are locked on a Saturday night. If you list 1am as the close time… that’s not right. Be honest with your customers.

Joe M is MasterClass!!! Came here on a busy Sunday, and he was an All-In-One employee. Literally, the only one here, and never once, let the rush affect his level of service. When I say service, I mean from start to finish. He was taking the orders with a smile and friendly (no pun intended) demeanor, smashin patties like a seasoned pro, and serving em up with the same smile he had when the order was taken.Joe was definitely the bright spot on a pretty rainy Sunday! Made our experience and exceeded expectations of what one employee can do.He's not the worker we deserved, but the worker we needed!!!
