Ordered for take out... food was really good I had the burger and truffle fries but I didnt get my add ons I requested. I did a take out order so I would imagine if I ate there it would have been better.

I Google’d the best burger in Lawrence and Dempsey’s Burger Pub came up on top… Unfortunately, my experience tonight was not the same as other reviewers!
The smash burger was just OK. Nothing special and was delivered to me 10 minutes before the truffle fries that I ordered. I was told the frier was “backed up.” When I finally got my truffle fries.. they were tasteless and soggy, had NO truffle oil or Parmesan cheese on them at all, in fact, I had to salt them myself for some sense of seasoning.
Very disappointing especially for 6 o’clock on a Saturday night.

Smash burgers are the best I've had in years. They are served on a soft brioche bun which elevates the taste, perfect melted cheese and fresh burger. The fries are outstanding and the pretzels with pub cheese is excellent. I recommend getting extra cheese! I'll drive that 1.5 hours to go back.
