About Me

After spending two decades in Athens, GA, the year 2020 marked our heartfelt return to our roots in Charleston, a city that has always held a special place in our hearts. Our passion for burgers and the vibrant community here inspired us to embark on a culinary journey that started with spontaneous pop-ups at local breweries. This adventurous spirit quickly grew into a bustling food truck, celebrated catering services, and participation in local festivals. The next step in our adventure was a brick-and-mortar location, taking over the beloved Fair Deal Grocery at 47 Cooper St. in Downtown Charleston.

Burgers have been a central part of our lives, and our exploration of their rich history has only deepened our appreciation for this cultural staple, cherished for over a century. We are committed to honoring the tradition of the classic smash burger while adding our own flair with high-quality local and national ingredients.

Our burgers embrace the simplicity revered by generations of iconic burger chefs, using only the finest ingredients. We take pride in crafting our burgers with Martin’s Potato Rolls, Braveheart Brand Angus Chuck, Delancey Deli Pickles, Westcreek American Cheese, Palmetto Pimento Cheese, and provisions from Performance Food Group. These elements come together harmoniously to create a satisfying experience that remains true to the spirit of the authentic culinary craft.

Join us in celebrating the humble burger’s simplicity and its place within our shared culture, as we continue to innovate while paying homage to the classics.
