You basically got one dude (owner?) standing in front of a flat top / fryer slinging one of the best burgers I've had in the DMV.
Got the Nash & Smash of course, and added an extra burger patty for $3. WHOA. Burger = juicy. Fried chicken = flavorful and crispy. Seasoned waffle fries on point. Good Sauces. I'd be surprised if owner doesn't have standalone brick and mortar within a couple years because this product deserves it. I can't wait to go back again.

This spot is in a gas station grocery store, so don’t expect much of an atmosphere or service, couple chairs and window seating area is available, but the food was really good. I had classic double smashed burger and fried chicken wings. The burger patties and toppings were really tasty, but the bun was alright maybe a little on the dry side. The wings were something else though, I really liked the crisp and how it’s made, but the chicken source is, idk tbh, because some bites had an unpleasant taste to it. Would I go again? I think yes, but maybe try the chicken strips next time,...
