“This place has amazing food and great service The smash burgers are true smash burgers!!! Crispy but juicy and perfectly seasoned. The fries have a nice crunch to them with just the right seasoning. The wings were great as well, tender and delicious... and the sauces come in cups or syringes 💉... awesome to try different flavors and keep from double dipping if you're sharing. Get the garlic sauce it's the best. The shakes are soooooo good too, vanilla with fruity pebbles or strawberry with captain crunch berries 🤤... We will definitely be back”
— Victoria Bush“This is inside of the hotel next to the main lobby. The garlic aioli is top tier and you get to take the syringe. The sauce cups do those who love dipping sauces, the size and amount is a nice size. The buns were soft, burger had a great taste, real cheese, nicely sliced lettuce and onions. No option for tomatoes though which is fine for me. The naked wings were crispy and fresh. The fries were good, a little soft. The amount of fries were small but no other complaints. It’s clean, nice vibe, employees were all helpful and pleasant. There are 3 Kiosks, the lines were long but move quickly. There’s outdoor seating and a bar. The bathroom was immaculate.”
— Dominique Smith“This was my first time visiting and it was REALLY good. I love a good smash burger and they didn’t disappoint. I got the bacon burger with a fried egg added (let them know you want you egg hard if that’s how you like it or it will come out runny). Service was also top tier. The two ladies working the front were super attentive and friendly. I’ll definitely be back the next time I come to Tacoma.”
— Punkin Jackson“I gotta tell you, every time a stay at a hotel and there is a "burger joint" im always bummed because its typically over priced and under flavored. This place is fantastic. The burgers come out quick and fresh with great seasoning and sauce. The fries were fantastic and crispy. I am pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I will make sure to come back.”
