Customer Reviews

Doublesmash burger, add jalapenos, 6 wings on the side. Burger was perfect, crusty smash burger, flavor on point. Probably a pound of fries under the burger (ordered to go) and all seasoned! Wings were battered so good, crunchy, size was basically 2-3 wingstop wings for 1 of these wings! Mango habanero sauce was sweet and spicy. Total before tax/tip 26$ with 1$cc fee

Second time here and this place is great. Friendly service as soon as you walk to the time you leave. The manager / cook will come out and ask you questions about your order if it's a special order & he's not totally sure so that you get what you want instead of a guess. The food tastes great and is worth the little bit of time that you wait. I had never had a smash burger before and was hesitant but my goodness is it worth recommending to people. It has a great homemade flavor to the burger. The pizza has a different taste than these large chains and it's such a delight to the taste buds. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Food was incredible!!! BEST monster fries! Had a Detroit pizza which was soft with crispy cheese lining the edges, omg so good. Had a regular smash burger which is a must try. To top it all off, friendly staff and clean dining area. Great prices too.

This place is quite literally a hole in the wall! Local and delicious food that definitely needs to be advertised more. I came here with my wife to eat before going to a show for a nice date night and we were both impressed. We ordered a Jalapeno bacon smashburger with fries - let me tell you, the burger was so full of flavor, bread was toasted and crispy yet soft, and the fries had a delicious seasoning on them where they almost had a citrus tang. The patty was a bit thin but I still felt so full and satisfied after I didn't even think about it until writing this review! We also got a small combination pizza and my favorite thing about it was that it was so light and fresh. The crust and bottom was still crispy despite the many toppings; they didn't overload toppings either and sauce was simple and refreshing. You could taste every individual ingredient they put on their pizza easily. Absolutely delicious and really made our date night that much more enjoyable! The atmosphere is very much like a local pizzeria, it's a place you either call in for well priced delicious pizzas if you're on the go or a place you get the family/ a group of friends and sit down to watch a game and eat. Overall, very impressed.

Came in with the family because we heard great things about this place. I ordered the Chingon pizza, my wife the combo, one of my kids had the smashburger and the other a pep, olive and bacon pizza. We also ordered wings as an appetizer. All the pizzas were amazing and you can tell the great quality of the food we got. The smashburger was so well seasoned and the fries were amazing to. Everything we had was on point and we'll worth the drive from Exeter. I can't recommend this place enough. This should be a destination place to eat.
