Reviewers rave about the Dirty Fries, calling them a messy, addictive masterpiece. The overall vibe is unpretentious, hearty comfort food done right.
“These are deep-fried fries topped with sauces, a whole Angus burger patty, multiple melted cheeses, bacon, jalapenos, and more sauce. The whole burger patty is somewhere in this mountain of toppings. The fries have a Cajun kind of seasoning. It's very tasty, a dream-worthy burger experience.”

Double Trucker
This is a smash burger with Thai Angus beef. The bun is fluffy on the inside, crusty on top from butter toasting. The crispy smashed edges contrast with the juicy, crumbly interior. The caramelized onions add sweetness, raw onions add crunch, and pickles give acidity to cut the richness. When you bite down, a waterfall of oily meat juice coats your taste buds. It's incredibly tasty.
Dirty Fries
These are deep-fried fries topped with sauces, a whole Angus burger patty, multiple melted cheeses, bacon, jalapenos, and more sauce. The whole burger patty is somewhere in this mountain of toppings. The fries have a Cajun kind of seasoning. It's very tasty, a dream-worthy burger experience.
