The workers were extremely nice and enjoyed speaking with them, but the burger was not it…for almost $15 you get a mini smash burger. It was delicious but more bang for your buck from shake shack tbh and not that far off on taste.

Don't get me wrong, the burger was pretty decent, but the price is just absolutely absurd for what you get. Got a double cheeseburger with jalapeno and bacon and it was over $17...for maybe 1/8 lb smash patties, barely any bacon, and a few jalapenos? Honestly, the most unsatisfying $17 I've ever spent. Would need about 3 of them to fill me up. It should have been like $8, $10 max. Absolutely crazy. It's a shame, cuz its pretty good food, but I will never be back for these prices.
For reference, this is what you can get from The Melt for the EXACT SAME PRICE! Compare that to the other pictures from For The Win... It's pathetic. You can get 3 times the meat, twice the cheese, 4 times the bacon, onion straws, and more for the same price elsewhere and actually leave full. There's literally no reason to go here...

Will leave you wanting more, I got a single patty as I wasn't too hungry but wanted to try it. Will definitely get a double next run. I nevered plan to come here as probably many people do only because its in a very busy road in PB, no parking. We went to the pier with the kids and walked here. If you're in this area amd want a burger, this is it!
