Classic cheeseburger hit the spot, I am sensitive to spice and the special sauce had the perfect amount of kick. The tator tots were also delicious. Quick and easy pickup.

So first of the name is rather catchy, so of course I had to try it. I went there specifically because the menu has lamb burger. But lamb isn't the most interesting thing in the menu. I won't give it away. You'll have to go yourself to see what I mean.
Anywho, the inside is rather small, so it's better if you do takeout. The service was great. The lamb burger was juicy and delicious. My father got the regular burger and he enjoyed his too. Mine was so delicious, I ordered one to go. My only critique is that their burgers are way too small. Still, I'd definitely go again and try one of their other specialty burgers. I would recommend giving them a try. Sorry, I devoured my burger before I could take a pic.

Definitely don’t think the meal we had was equivalent to a 4.5 star rating. Maybe it was a slow Thursday and they didn’t have the usual team working, but our food was pretty bad. I waited in the store to pick up my order and when I opened the bag to eat it a minute later, it was cold.
The pulled pork sandwich sounded great, but the portion size was small, meat was dry and underwhelming. The Wild boar tacos also sounded good in theory, but barely had any meat on the taco so all I could taste was the jalapeño. The sweet potato fries were a highlight, they were great and still warm!
We’re definitely going to try it again, don’t want to write this place off yet completely! It seems to be a staple neighborhood spot and I want to understand the hype!!

Grilled chicken sandwich with the garlic mayo is the one! Whoever they have working there at the time is always cool, so management does very well with hiring the right people.

Omg! This place is awesome!! My fiancé and I have been wanting to check this place out for a while now but we live in South Jersey, we ended up seeing an early show in the city and this place is only 4 miles away so we decided to stop by afterwards.
The alligator sandwich was to die for! Every bite made me do a dance or a jiggle. I don’t know if I’d call it an Italian sandwich, cause this was so much more elevated than an ole Italian sausage sandwich. The alligator sausage was cooked perfect, with just the right snap, the onions and peppers had the best char on them and the chipotle sauce was smoky, delicious with just the right amount of warmth. Even the bread was good!
I also ordered the poutine fries and gravy and that was just decadent. A small “hole in the wall” eatery with awesome artwork and decor inside. The gentleman at the counter was just so friendly and personable, I so wished that we could be regulars!!
I hate going into the city, but now I won’t mind so much since we will be making this a mandatory stop anytime we venture that way!

I’ve wanted to check this place out for a while now and I’m happy to say I finally did and it was awesome! The guy who helped us was very accommodating and friendly. I really liked the art on the walls and the quirkiness of the place. Yak burger was delightful. Will definitely return to try the other fare

My take out order was excellent. I am definitely going to be ordering again from here whenever I am in the mood for a burger or trying some of their exotic meat options as well.

Stopped here for dinner after a day trip to Northvale. Food was solid and the owner was really nice. Definitely worth a visit if you're into trying new/exotic meats. Our vegetarian friend got the black bean burger and enjoyed it. Desserts were good as well.
Fair warning, the building is pretty small so takeout is probably your best bet. Parking in the city was also kind of tricky but that was expected.

We were visiting from Philly for a Scout meeting and did a Google search for dinner before our event. Dark Side of the Moo came up and my son asked to go. We walked into this eccentrically decorated restaurant with a rubber alligator swinging on a spoon and stuffed furry animal heads smiling down on us. We loved it. My son got the pulled pork Mac & cheese and I got the lobster empanada. We split tater tots. Everything was soooo good and came out quick. Great place for quality food fast in Jersey City! We’d come back to try the exotic dishes like wild boar tacos and camel sliders, but for our first time the pulled pork was perfect!

Miss the store in NYC. One of the best, simple, honest burgers. Wishing the DSM team the best

Their burgers have convinced me to embrace the Dark side.
The prices are more reasonable, than the ones you get on Tatooine or Corusant.
In addition to their exotic burgers and classical smashburger I would recommend Cajun fries and alligator hot dogs.
