    Get the Triple Pork Burger, you won't be disappointed. First bite you get hit with the spicy chorizo, followed by the sweet flavor of pork and to top it off the smokey taste of bacon!

    I got the "hatch burger" and it was amazing! It was noted that the patty is topped with various chilles but it wasn't overwhelming whatsoever! The patty would simply melt in my mouth every bite I took

    One of the unique Umami burgers that have different decoration depending on the zone. The quality of the burgers have been excellent since the beginning. It has that really authentic Umami flavor.

    Try truffle burger .its juicy and delicious. Perfectly cooked. Order the royal version if you are very hungry. Good for Indian taste buds too.

    Truffle to the max. This place excels at truffle usage, but at first blush may appear to go overboard. Truffle fries are great, and nearly every burger is delicious.

    Good but not extraordinary burgers and small portions! The vibe of the place is fantastic though. You can also try the impossible burger.

    Nice solid contender for best burger in the downtown area. Plenty of great options to make your burger extra tasty. Pro-tip: homemade pickles.

    Truffle burger is rich as hell, but worth every bite. Likewise with the sweet potato fries. Also tried the K-BBQ burger, which was no where near as good.

    The impossible burger is absolutely miraculous. If I did not know what I was getting I would have made a bet that this was genuine beef - not a plant based, science amalgamation from Silicon Valley

    When I entered the restaurant , it was smelling like truffle and I did not resist trying the truffle burger. I also ordered crispy brussel sprouts with kimchi. Result:❤️🥰

    Fantastic burgers, not the usual juicy with strong sauces, more dry and a lot subtler tastes. Didn't really like the thin fries as a side dish, have the sweet potatoes with caramelized maple syrup.

    Amazing flavors! Even if you want to be a tad healthy with a turkey burger, it still tasted amazing! As always, get the truffle fries 😋

    For those with any kind of food allergy, ask for the "allergy chart" -- it alters or eliminates nearly everything on the menu. Gluten/wheat issues are particularly tricky here.

    Truffle fries is the way to go. But there's almost no point in doing take out since the cheese will solidify. Good selection of beers!

    Burgers 🍔 are excellent. Truffle fries are super cheesy, but onion rings are too big.

    The best preparation of the Impossible Burger (vegan burger that resembles meat).

    Everything is very fresh.But they don't allow substitution turkey pattys on the burgers.Also adding bacon is not allowed.The pies sounded very good, but we couldn't order any because they werent ready

    Keep it classy and "healthy" with a Greenbird burger. Great combination of flavors. Not your mom's turkey burger.

    The burgers lived up to the hype. Juicy, tasty, and a hint of truffle oil. Would highly recommend it.

    The burgers are nothing too special, but they make their own ketchup (amazing) and the sweet potato fries are perfectly fried.

    Amazing burgers. Try their cheesy tater tots. (It's part of their secret menu 😉)

    For the price, burgers are average. Had the Cali and the original burgers - a more complex taste thanks to the shiitake mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes, but.... Five guys/ shake shack is better

    Got the Slider Trio - flavor of Manly and Hatch were a little too strong. But the Impossible Burger was delicious!

    Straight umami burger was decent, kind of disappointing given what I'd heard about the place. The parmesan disc on the burger was very difficult to chew through. Fries were solid.

    I tried the Cali burger and it was very difficult to eat. It comes with a lot of sauce that drips all over the plate. I ended up with very greasy and dirty fingers at the end.

    The burgers are crazy good but nearly $20 for a burger and fries is just about as crazy.

    They have a "trust us combo" they pick your burger, fried, and drink... If only all places had this!
