While I was still trying to figure out what the decor was and what the overall theme of the restaurant might be, my burger and fries came out. I should have asked how large the patties were ahead of time. This burger was huge, piping hot, and had a delicious crust on the outside as if it were seared over fire. The fries were also hot and well seasoned. The burger was absolutely awesome. The employees were incredibly friendly.
The only thing I would advise is avoiding the single restroom. It is in very bad shape, seems to be having plumbing issues, and shows clear deterioration on the floor. But the food and service were wonderful.

This was a very enjoyable spot, friendly staff, good atmosphere, and decent food. The food was okay, not bad at all, but not amazing either. Worth trying aging though. I definitely recommend trying it at least once.

Beef burgers are good. The chicken burger is not my type. The chicken patty was large but was thin which made it dry and was not juicy.
If some butter is added to burgers, they will be more delicious and soft.

Great food presentation,. however, the taste Okay ! Decor was what is was but, the bathroom needs a URGENT REMODEL!! I just went in to wash my hands before eating… The smell, dirtiness was too much! Gas stations have Better restrooms !! Made me question the kitchen area after that! Which there were more healthier sides and drinks ! The wings appeared to be those SUPER CHEAP OVERLY FROZEN one’s you see at like Aldi’s or something! Doesn’t warrant a return visit in my opinion !

I had the chopped burger. It was good. Cooked to no-pink (well done) but still juicy and it had some good char to it. The ladies running the counter and the food were very nice. I’m assuming that one of them did the cooking, too.
All-in-all, I’d go back if I wanted a quick bite.

We sat down and ordered mushrooms as an appetizer, but they did not come. Our food came somewhat quickly. I ordered the signature smoked burger, and my husband ordered the bacon cheeseburger. We also ordered chicken tenders. The burgers and chicken came out hot and juicy with a large helping of seasoned fries. The burgers were okay, nothing special, really. I did request blue cheese it was a good dripping sauce on the burger. The chicken was crispy, salty, but otherwise good, and breading was really well done. We had baklava for dessert. Unfortunately, it was pretty dry and just not expected. To us, it was just a basic burger joint. They also didn’t have a lot of their appetizers available, especially their signature ones. It’s a nice place to sit and eat if you are not in a hurry.

Everything was really good, the staff is always super friendly. They also have the viral Dubai chocolate cup which was sooo good we didn’t even get a pic, it was dead on arrival. Great family friendly place to stop for dinner and dessert on 39th

I had a great experience here. The customer service was amazing, everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I ordered the Fire Burger with fries, and it was everything I thought it would be. Everything came out hot, fresh, and seasoned just right.
I also tried the buffalo chicken wings and a dessert called the Dubai Chocolate and Strawberry Cup. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it definitely surprised me in a good way. The strawberries were fresh and juicy, and the chocolate had this rich, exciting flavor that really surprised me in the best way.
The vibe was great, and the food lived up to the hype. There are still a few things on the menu I want to try, so I will definitely be going back soon.

The philly cheesesteak is phenomenal!!!!! The fries are perfectly seasoned. I’ve eaten there five times now and have yet to be disappointed in any of my experience there.

KC Smoke Burger on 39th Street is an absolute gem! Their Philly cheesesteak is hands-down the best in town – perfectly seasoned, loaded with tender meat, and packed with flavor. The bacon cheeseburger is equally amazing, with juicy patties and crispy bacon that hits all the right notes. Beyond the food, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like a special experience. If you’re looking for top-tier burgers and unbeatable service, this is the spot. Highly recommend!
