Burgers are really good. Nice selection of IPAs.

Late start always exceeds expectations. Whether you want a few drinks or food, you can’t go wrong. Everything they cook up in the kitchen is straight fire. I love going for coffee and the bacon taco on the weekends. Ownership, staff and hospitality is top notch. 12/10

This place is definitely in the top 3 for me in Tampa. It’s one of my weekly stops. The staff and owner are easy going , the music is always a vibe, and the drinks/ food hit the spot. The smash burgers are 100% the best in Tampa. They’re actually smashed with crispy edges, the waffle fries are always cooked to perfection and the sauce is on point 👌🏽 get the double deluxe boi with fries !!

Umm the best Smashburger I have ever had! Juicy but also crispy sides? Insanely delicious. The Waffle Fries were also top tier!

Amazing food!! We ordered smash burgers and fried pickles. 10/10 !! Highly recommend.

Fresher and younger than most breweries in the area. I enjoyed the energetic and witty staff, their hazy IPAs and, naturally, the naked, fried pickles.

The resturant was nice clean. It had a great atmosphere. The food was tasty. I recommend the chiky nugget and the Quarter cheese patty melt.

Great place to go near the cruise terminal. They had convenient parking and unique breakfast options. Loved the Chai!

I’m not sure what’s better here the beer the burgers the sides or the staff! Ben was incredible and made us feel so welcomed. All 4 of us had something different and every beer was great! I even had a sangria type drink. I can’t remember the name, but it was delicious. The burgers and patty melts were delicious. I preferred the burgers because the patty melts were a little bit greasy but tasty. We also got pimento cheese, fried pickles, and french fries. the fried pickles were the best I’ve ever had, super crunchy and delicious. The one thing that blew my mind was the mango Thai tea beer sounds weird, but if you like Thai tea with a little bit of sweetness, it was to die for can’t wait to come back!

Great spot, great food and drinks.

Came here because of the hype, the Tampa Bay Times and a ton of reviews said this was the best smash burger around.

Honestly, it missed the mark for me. The burger wasn't hot; it was only luke-warm when I got it after a 17-minute wait. Also disappointing, it lacked a crispy crust you expect from a smash burger I would go so far as to say it was soft on one side.

I'm assuming this was just a bad night, considering their reputation. I'll be back to try again because I really want to believe the hype is real!

Fry sauce was good

Don't sleep on the fried bologna sandwich.

Called ahead and they don't have gluten free buns, but gave me the option to bring my own bun and we were all set! I brought my GF buns and the even toasted it for me for my burger. Best burger in town! The fries are killer and seasoned perfectly. I have celiac and even with the shared fryer no problems. Must visit in Tampa!

This place is very cute and the food is good. However, the lack of vegetarian options means we will not visit as often as we would otherwise. Hopefully they make some menu additions.
