Seemed like a fine place but I wasn’t able to go in because it’s a bar so you do have to be 21+ for anyone underage only coming for the food

Great burger. I would recommend catching them when they are on the weekly special. $12/$14 for this burger may or may or be “worth it” depending on your own opinion. But the meat is very flavorful and the ingredients fresh. Service was very friendly.

We saw this place off TikTok and had to try it out! We brought our two young kids and the people there were super friendly. Not too busy. Started to pick up as we left. We got the smash burger, birria tacos, grilled cheese, beef tacos, Korean chicken taco, gf platter and Parmesan fries! I can’t say enough how great the food was. Fast to order and easy. Order at the front or at your table! Came out fast, hot and fresh! We were all happy with what we got as well as what each one of us got because we clearly had to try it all! Definitely will be back! And the lady at the front that took our order was super sweet, helpful and a great vibe!

Great food and drinks. The cheeseburger was amazing. The birria crunch wrap is also a great option.

Such an amazing hidden gem. I ask for a custom hot sauce, and i get a custom hot sauce. Ordered a crispy chicken sandwich, which alone was one of the best I’ve had, and curly fries with spicy ketchup. I love how they take culinary chances upon request. Some of my favorite people as well. Thank you thunder chief for never letting me down, whether my food is for to go or to eat there.

There’s no reason at all to put that much cheese on birria tacos. Unreasonable….careless even….I’m bummed

Food was amazing and the atmosphere was pretty energetic! A Sports bar with some pretty damn good options. I got the patty melt with garlic aioli and truffle fries, and my partner got the southwest chicken Ceasar salad. Everything was great and they have all types of specials for every day of the week. I'd recommend this spot for a good bite and a drink as well! We will be back!

Good food here. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich, the gochujang wings, and the curly fries. I also ordered thunder sauce which tasted like a variation of a thousand island dressing. All of the chicken had a unique flavor. It’s not my favorite but it was still really good. The chicken was cooked well and it was good quality. I probably won’t come back for chicken but two thumbs up. The staff was very friendly.

Smashburger was perfect, their pickles are fresh made and nice and crisp. The burger had nice crisp edges on the patties. 5/5

Maybe an unsung hero though, the Patty Melt was very good. The bread was think fresh baked and the sandwich was massive. I added picked for some texture. 5/5

Everything in the menu is wonderful. Lovely small business inside a great sports bar. The chicken nugz, k-pop nachos, and patty melt are incredible favs. They have irish nachos seasonally that i’d sell my left foot for. When you order to go they pack everything separately to make sure nothing gets soggy which is such a nice touch. They also have awesome daily specials (for example $5 burgers monday, $1 wing wednesday, $5 chicken sandwich fridays). I’ve been coming here since they opened inside lavaca street bar and will keep coming back as long as they’ll have me!

I gave an overall 4 based off of 2 things, the food, and the super kind tall gentleman with glasses that brings out the food. Twice me and my boyfriend have been here and had the same bartender whom we felt was not very welcoming, and has given off the demeanor of rude or just disinterested in taking our orders. No one should have to wait over 30 min to get a soda. I had to flag her down last night when it was barely anyone in there! When she first came to take our drink order, when she brought the card back she didn’t hand it, she slammed it on the table and walked off. I waited to see if she would come back on her own to check on us, but I saw her talking to another customer laughing and being pleasant. When I waved for her attention when she got back to the bar, she came and her tone was completely different than how she was with the other customer she was previously talking to. It made me feel like I was bothering her. It’s already bad enough that anytime we’ve been here we are the only black ones there and get awkward looks. I don’t foresee us coming back here to dine, just to go orders from now on.
