The restaurant is known for what they call classic, unconventional and unpretentious smashburgers. The smashburger is a classic, thin-pressed and caramelized beef patty covered in melted cheese and a secret sauce.
Other items include fried chicken sandwiches, comfort foods, hand pies, and milkshakes, morning and night. There is a also a selection for plant-lovers, offering vegan burgers and chicken sandwiches and shakes.
The Uncool house patties are made from grass-fed beef chuck and short rib blend. Or substitute with an Impossible smash burger for a vegan option. They also offer a buttermilk or honey-fried chicken, and a vegan seitan fried chicken made from wheat protein.
