My husband and I were looking for a quick place to grab a smash burger on a Friday night. This place had good reviews on google reviews so we decided to try it. We were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of the place, a newly build brewery with reggae music and chill vibe. The gentlemen that took our order had a good attitude and recommended the Oklahoma and the Bacon Blue burgers. They were so amazing we are already thinking of next time we will come to eat these burgers. This place deserves to be so crowded all the time. A truly hidden gem

The smash burgers at this food truck is amazing! They are stationed at Sun Lab Brewing across from the ballpark. Their burgers are awesome - large and juicy. We’ve tried several different ones and they never disappoint. The fries are also great too. The guys running the food truck offer excellent service, and allow you to customize the burgers how you wish. My favorite so far has been the Tropical Smash. There is outdoor seating, or feel free to eat inside and grab a beer at the brewery. Definitely check this place out!

They play awesome music outside! I am jammin! The seating area is so cute. The truck is in Sun Lab brewing parking lot. They have apple pie cider, which is one of my favorites. I got the cheesy double with garlic fries and OMG it is the best smash burger I have ever had in my life! I will definitely be coming back. My boyfriend got the Tsunami burger and it was also delicious. 10 stars if I could. This place is fantastic!!!!

I was looking for a good burger and decided on Coastal Smash. I didn’t make it past the bridge on the way home before I had to pull over and take a bite. I got the Western Smash with fries and a Mexican coke. It was delicious! The fries were crispy, seasoned, and not greasy. The burger was flavorful, the meat crispy on the edges, and the toppings were fresh and crisp. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth it and I’ll be back soon!

These burgers are 10/10. They are clearly made with fresh ingredients and high quality beef. Don’t sleep on this place, if you want a good burger this is it. And bonus, the fries are salted to perfection. If you want to “dine in” they’ll bring your food into the brewery when it’s ready which was nice.

I finally had a chance to try these burgers and all I can say is these are the smash burgers you’ve been craving! The staff is great and the burgers are even better. They have some great combinations and my list of things to try is slowly growing! We had a Ripple burger which was cooked to perfection. Simple, crispy, juicy, and delicious. Also had the Island Smash which was a flavor explosion! We’ll definitely be back. Nice little spot with outdoor seating and if you want a beer the brewery is right there!
