The burgers are massive here, seriously a full meal! But don't skip the shoestring fries or the beer selection, both of which are excellent. I'm definitely planning a return trip for happy hour to work my way through the rest of the burger menu.

Cute little burger place with awesome Hawaiian inspired and smoky flavors. The burger with guava rum jam was awesome, but we especially loved the crispy miso brussel sprouts and onion rings. We got 2 burgers and 2 sides to share and were very full. Prices are normal for downtown SM, and the flavors packed a big punch!
