Best smash burger ever! And I have had me some burgers over the years. Killer flavor, crisp on the edges. Not overcooked. Served hot and fresh off the grill! Highly recommend!

Wife’s chicken sandwich looked and tasted amazing!! (As good if not better than that chicken sandwich place across town) Not being a fan of smash burgers, personally, I tried one anyway. Crispy edges and tasty and juicy throughout!! Very impressed! And a healthy serving of fries that we couldn’t finish the one order we had!! We WILL return!!!

$14 is way too much for a single burger that tastes drier and blander than what you would get at Hardees.
I’m from Indiana and we have 2 lb burgers for that price and they are cooked medium rare, these smash burgers are thin, dry, burnt, and overly salty for no real reason other than just that’s how they do them.
For $14 I’d expect something bigger, fuller, juicier, and something more real; but if we’re serving burnt smash burgers then this thing shouldnt cost more than $5

We entered and were immediately greeted by a very friendly worker who was mopping up the slushy mess everyone was tracking in. We were helped at the counter. The sweet woman asked if we had been there before. She saw our confused faces. She helped us decide our order, we paid, got our drinks, sat down, and within five minutes our burgers were delivered to our table. Oh wow! I can see what the fuss was about! Delicious!!! The burgers were so good!!! The burger was bigger than the bun and had crispy edges. Did I say it was delicious? We don’t live around here, but if we ever pass through again, we will stop in for a burger again! Yum!

Delicious!!! We ordered a double smash burger, chicken club, red velvet cupcake milkshake and onion rings to share between the two of us and we could barely finish! The staff was so sweet and helpful. Only reason for the lower rating is the atmosphere. Could use a little polishing and simple touches to make it a bit more welcoming and comfortable. Otherwise zero complaints – will be back!

If you are wanting a burger (beef or vegan) and haven’t stopped here, you are seriously missing out!! We actually came across it by accident and are so glad we did as it easily moves into my top 5 burger list! We had the double bacon cheeseburger, vegan classic burger (photo with the tomato showing,) Big Head Fries and a peach cobbler shake. Way too much food in the end, but oh so good!!
The bacon cheeseburger is everything you want when you think bacon cheeseburger!! You can taste each component and together it’s amazing!! You will need napkins!! The classic vegan is also incredible!! Seriously, that’s vegan?? If you just don’t think a vegan burger can be good, this is the one for you to try!!!
Big Head Fries – you read the description and think that should be interesting but could go either way; who does lettuce and tomato with fries? Well, with all the toppings and the amazing sauce they quickly disappeared, as well.
We really planned on getting the red velvet shake but after asking about the shakes, we decided to try the new addition, Peach Cobbler!! WOW!!! It’s seriously some amazing Peach Cobbler blended into a great shake!!! Great recommendation!
Service was great and very friendly!!! It truly felt like they cared that we were enjoying our meal as they checked in with us a number of times and thanked us again when we were finished with our meal.
We will definitely be back as it’s easily one of the best burgers in the Cedar Valley, in addition you can have fries that no one else is doing and a great shake!!
Can’t wait to bring some others next time!

Was here for 1st time an ordered a cheeseburger, western burger, Fry’s and the jumbo wings. The burgers and fries were good! I’ll definitely be back for another one! Wings are good too but not jumbo, call them overpriced party wings! Staff was friendly an inviting.If I could make a suggestion to move your menu sign to a wall because you’ll break your neck trying to read it!

My girlfriend and I had heard good things about this place and were eager to give it a try. As a couple of burger lovers, I will say we are glad we did!
The burgers (one double bacon cheese, one single) were delicious. The smash patty is not as dense as some other types which leaves it very tender and juicy and oh so wonderfully able to mingle with the melty cheese and grease. It is indeed a very greasy burger, but in the best way. The potato bun is fresh and holds up well with the burger itself.
For sides we had the big head fries and onion rings. The onion rings were good. Crispy and hot, but not the star of the meal.
The big head fries were amazing. The fries on their own would be pretty solid: crisp, potato-y, not over seasoned (which I think is what you want paired with one of these burgers). BUT where the big head fries shine is the loads of delicious toppings. Beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and big head sauce (similar to a Big Mac sauce). Getting these over the regular fries would be my recommendation if you have the appetite.
Oh and a last food aside: get a ginger lemonade. Fresh and spicy and super refreshing.
As to non-food items.
The lady who helped us was very friendly and attentive. The service was fast and the prices for what we got were very reasonable.
All in all I would highly recommend checking them out. Good ole fashioned burger stand vibes, delicious comfort type burgers and fries. If thats what you’re wanting, that is what you’ll get a Big Head Burger.

Nice little downtown spot for a great burger or sandwich! I had the smash burger and onion rings. Real onions! The service was exceptional. Not too much seating. They seem to do a lot of takeout.
