Phenomenal food. Cozy, modern atmosphere. Kind service. Only reason I gave 4 stars for service is how long you have to wait, but it is WELL worth it, especially on a lovely day!You can only order in-house, not online or over the phone or any other third party service. The hot, sweet, and sticky chicken sandwich is incredible with so many interesting flavors' that meld together perfectly. The red wine vinegar fries are also stellar and unique. Go here! You won't regret it! Just be prepared to chat with your lunch date while you wait outside for your food for 10-20 minutes. It'll be great :)P.s. they have a few tables inside when it's slow, but it's mostly just a take-out restaurant, so plan to take it home or even better to a nearby park or outdoor seating area (or walk to the farmers market...?)

We spent $50 on two burgers, fries, and a drink, which wouldn’t have been a big deal except the paper from the cheese slices were literally cooked onto our burger. Pulling off the paper meant pulling off everything, so we couldn’t eat them. Mistakes happen but leaving the paper on the cheese at a burger place seems wild. The fries were the best I’ve ever had though… truly amazing. We’ll probably give them another shot because of the fries but just pay a little more attention next time.

Trendy, very fast made to order! The fries are do die for. The Nantucket bakery buns compliments a very excellent burger. Owners are so smart to have a short menu and keep the quality high!Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible...big step.

this is one of my favorite spots to go, i’m autistic and have a lot of sensory issues around food and this is the only place that has never messed up my order even after i make substitutions. the only reason it gets a 4 for atmosphere is because it can be really overwhelming due to the amount of people in the really small space

This place is amazing, great people work here and own this establishment. I am a die hard fan of the rust fries and there was a couple month period where they didn't have them and I almost cried. Kimchi fries are great alternative to the rust. Love their style on a smash burger and the bread from Nantucket bakery helps contribute to the flavor. Higher end of the $10-20 range, or lower end of $20-30 depending on how hungry you are. Once and awhile I order 10 popsicles and put them in my fridge at home to enjoy.

I had a great experience here with my mom and sister ? I had the Big Malcolm and the Rust Fries with a side of Thai basil mayo. Phenomenal fries, and the Thai basil mayo was a great compliment to them. The Big Malcolm was great too, very very indulgent and delicious ?

Tiny little place, 4 takes or so. Hand-made sodas. Unique burger options. My wife wanted a tasty burger, and from the first bite, I knew she got it.

The staff is wonderful, the specials always look amazing.

Incredible burgers; we drive up from kzoo for them. I am not usually a big fan of a smash burger, as they tend to be dried out and crumbly at most other places. These are juicy, tender, and huge. Wonderful classic flavor combos. They are messy and loaded with sauce, just like the FSM intended. The fries are battered to perfection; I like the rust seasoning, but sea salt is great, too. Limited dine in space so plan accordingly.

The menu is also fairly small, but the options are fantastic.
