Palms DSM Reviews
The smashburger sliders were amazing and so was the painkiller drink! Also loved the candied yams and fried plaintans!
Absolutely love the sliders, I get them every time! I love that they use Nadia’s French Bakery locally for the buns, too!
Savory, rich, and oh so good! The staff made our experience over the top. We will be back.
