I've been here a handful of times over the past few years. The burgers are decent and the milkshakes are always pretty good. My favorite thing to get every time is the Goat Cheese Poppers, though.

The broth was a little too bitter and the char sui was cooked weird for being in ramen. It was still decent,...

Found this place as one of the places to try in DSM. Was not disappointed! Food was great and I loved the clever names of their sandwiches.

Wild burger joint with a horror-movie theme — weirdly fun and surprisingly good food. The “Undead Elvis” (with peanut butter and bacon) shouldn’t work, but it totally does. Shakes are thick, music’s loud, and the vibe’s pure chaos in a good way. Great place to bring friends and not take anything too seriously.
