What our guests are saying
Their smash burgers are the best I've had in years. They are served on a soft brioche bun which elevates the taste, perfect melted cheese and fresh burger. The fries are outstanding and the pretzels with pub cheese is excellent. I recommend getting extra cheese! I'll drive that 1.5 hours to go back.

Had one of the best customer relation experiences here. Our waitress was helpful, fun, and attentive! Food was great!

This place has long been the place to go for the best burgers in Lawrence. The fries and onion rings are some of the best I have had. The burgers are juicy and tender. I would eat here weekly if I lived in Lawrence.
