Staff is great, attentive and sweet.
Food ia full of flavor and makes you want more. I enjoyed every bite. I had the Buffalo Bleu Chicken Sammy and Ghost fries. Dining room is clean. Decor is contemporary art with black and white floors and a pink accent to the theme. There's a wheelchair ramp. My visit was immediately after a snow storm, so outside views weren't ideal but I can forsee a livily summer vibe. That private dining area appears to have and pure street...

Really solid burgers here. The smash style has that great crispy edge and juicy bite, and the Ghostburger itself is packed with flavor. Fries came out hot and crunchy, which I loved. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that it took a little longer than expected for the food to come out, and the space can feel a bit tight. Still, the quality of the burger and the fun flavor combos make this spot worth checking out.
