Today was my first time trying this place, and after seeing the reviews, i was just expecting a generally good burger. I was genuinely surprised by the PHENOMENAL burger and fries! The shake was good as well. This was honestly the best burger i've had in a really long time. I will definitely be eating here again. I hate doing reviews, but they deserve the praise.

The kings of short order cookery! Best smashburger in town. Great retro diner feel.

The burgers are out of this world, I got the odb and my fiancé got a regular burger. The burgers were huge and very good. We ordered a side of fries which was big enough for the both of us. They were cut and fried in house. I can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. They were very friendly too.

My new favorite burger! I had the O.D.B which was fantastic but the person next to me had the Korean Hot Chicken sandwich and I could not stop ogling that so, I have got to come back. I finished my meal off with a bourbon milkshake. Loved everything and am so glad they are in town!

The Korean chicken sandwich I had was good, although it was very messy. I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. It was big so I cut part of it off and brought it home with left over fries. I loved the fries. This place has my very FAVORITE ice cream, "Chocolate Shoppe". I got a scoop to take home. The inside is tiny, maybe 4 tables. The music was good, Doors and Zeppelin while we were there. As it is now a-days it is expensive!
I'd really say this place is a 3.5 star experience. It's a small shop but they have a bit more seating, as well as some arcade games, downstairs. I love the rap inspired burger names, bonus points for that. I had the iron flag burger, Seoul fries, and the keays to happiness shake. I'm embracing my burger snob arc and this burger was just okay for me. The toppings were well executed but the thinner gridded patties just aren't my preference. I found the flavor of this particular burger to be a little bland, on a return visit I think I'd just build my own burger. I WOULD come back for the fries and shake. The fries were great, both the fries themselves and the toppings. I also liked that the kimchi and sauce weren't just on top but layered into the fries so I never had a dry fry. The shake was a great finish. I don't know anything about zanzibar chocolate but it was very tasty. The workers were nice enough, while this seems like a counter style place they do bring you your food so there is some service. I would say I recommend this spot, the burger wasn't amazing for me but It was far from bad.

Finally got to try this place out today and I was so excited to do so! Went here for a fun date night after seeing the drool worthy pics of the burgers on the yelp-misphere. We're local so when my bf and I arrived, there was still some good parking available which was nice. When we first entered, I was enchanted by the fun drawing of Elmer fud in a Viking hat paying homage to a milkshake that says "Peanut gallery". It was super cute and totally endorsed that a fun atmosphere awaits. As you keep on walking, you are greeted by a small, quaint room with ice cream on the left and tables on the right. We were immediately greeted and asked where we would like to sit as they had the main dining area open with an additional dining area downstairs. To be honest, I was shocked that there was a second dining area because this place looks small when you first enter but the second dining area is easy to find when you see the stairs in the back. Anyways, I digress. We sat on the main floor and were given a paper menu. Our waiter was so sweet and attentive and gave us water glasses as well. Seeing that we were given actual water glasses instead of just plastic or paper cups was interesting because it speaks to the quality of this establishment. Now a days, it's rare that we are given actual water glasses so this was a welcomed change. My bf ended up ordering The Shaolin burger which consists of two patties, cheddar, carmelized onions, mushrooms and black garlic aoli. I ordered the ODB which consisted of two patties, American cheese, bacon, fried egg, pickled jalapeno and Billie sauce. For drinks, my bf got the Anti hero beer and I got the root beer rum float. Neither of us were crazy about our drinks but our feelings were quickly changed when we received our burgers. My bf loved his burger. He said the meat was tender, juicy and them patties were thick. The mushrooms added a nice subtle flavor while not being overpowering, the same with the onions. Super yummy. I enjoyed my ODB. The patties were perfectly cooked, juicy and thick. The bacon was thick which I absolutely loved and the fried egg, Billie sauce and jalapeños added some bite-y texture and tangy flavor which complemented the overall taste profile. It was delicious but honestly when I go back again, imma get that Shaolin burger because when i tasted my boyfriend's, it was just *chefs kiss* perfection! We ended our meal with the doughboy milkshake and the strawberry milkshake. Both were creamy, thick and absolutely delicious. Overall, this place is a dream. Customer service is great and the food is so good. It is a tad bit pricey but I thoroughly believe you get what you pay for here. While this place is just a regular old burger joint, the flavor, quality and quantity of the food here is superb. So come on in and try it, I promise you won't regret it. Oh and!!! They have the best creative names for their food items. I know when I come back and I have a sweet tooth, im totally trying their "brownie on crack". Haha! I mean with a name like that, who wouldn't?!?!

very flavorful! the burgers were huge, the cajun fries are a MUST.. surprisingly an egg is great on fries! the bourbon milkshake was also really good, and made strong! definitely worth checking out! the ODB burger was amazing, the iron flag was mid, very cheesy. the location was pretty small but nice! service was also great.

The mad scientist/evil genius who came up with the menu at The Peanut Gallery knows a thing or two about umami. I mean, just reading the menu and imagining the burgers/sandwiches paints a pretty satisfying image, but then when you taste it...mwah! (Chef's kiss) I tackled the Shaolin Burger -- 2 patties, cheddar, carmelized onions, mushrooms, black garlic aioli -- TBH this burger was pretty intimidating -- very large and I was afraid to put the two halves together because I didn't think I could pick it up. So I used a knife and fork ( classy!) The beef patties were well-seasoned, had a good flavor but was a little greasy. The carmelized onions, mushrooms and black garlic aioli was very tasty -- I could have eaten a bowl of that. The fries are a very generous portion, although they were too crisp. The Shaolin burger was masterful at defeating my hunger pangs. It was pricey--my burger, fries and drink was $24. I would come back to try the ODB burger or Seoul fries. The ice cream/ shakes sound very tempting as well.
Excellent burger and fries. My new favorite!
