AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
The smash burger is the undisputed star, delivering a perfectly crisp, juicy patty that justifies the hype. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, deeply satisfying comfort food done right.
“This smash burger has a beautiful smashed face, it's devastating. Being a smash, the crust is on both sides, which makes up about 80% of the patty, so it's super crunchy. Cheddar, pickles that give acidity, I think there's also a mayonnaise, as it should be in a smash burger. It's excellent, super crunchy, the fat of the burger is contrasted by the onion and the pickle, perfectly balanced in terms of acidity. The bun is super soft.”
