Good burgers, employees were super nice. My 12 year old vegan daughter wants a burger. Cosmos will fix, but didn’t realize it was inside a bar and order online is the only option. I show up thinking sit down restaurant. It was really no problem and she was happy. I’ll know better next time and pick up on the way home from work. If it was my place I’d put those pickles to work in the fryer too. Good stuff.

This place is fantastic and is my favorite burger in Waldo, which is saying something given Waldo already has Max’s and Walsh’s Corner Cocktail serving up great burgers. It is located inside of a bar called Dodson’s, which is also great. These smash burgers really hit it the style. I’ve taken a lot of people there after raving about how good this place is and no one has been disappointed, in fact most people can’t wait to go back. My only complaint is that they do not open until 5, so you can’t fix a hangover with them. Well, I guess I could drive to their other location in Lenexa to get my fix earlier in the day.

The burgers and tots are fantastic, although I will admit the last two times I’ve been there and the reason it’s not getting a five star is because the burgers had a really heavy hand of salt. My first visit there the burger was perfect but my last two, the burger was very salty. If they can dial this in it’s the best burger in town.

Just the right sized menu. Burgers and tots, or vegan burgers and tots. Excellent burger sauce. GF bun option that stays in one piece. Vegan items cooked on a separate grill. Tots are the crispiest ever. Nothing bad to say about this place. It’s so, so great!

Best burger and tots in town. I feel like the pickles need their own recognition though. If you like pickles, these will be your new favorite. Customer service is a 10/10 as well. Spot is located inside of Dodsons bar so if you have to wait for your food, you can grab a drink in a cool atmosphere.

I just ordered the vegan burger and tots with the vegan burger sauce. This burger is the best burger I’ve ever had! I’ve been vegan since January, and this burger tasted better than any animal based burger iv’e eaten. I’m happy I found a really good burger place! It’s not overly expensive, and everyone is friendly! I will definitely be going back!

My husband loves smash burgers and it’s hard to find great ones in KC – besides Town Topic! – but this did the trick. Wonderful burger sauce, yummy tots and delicious burgers! Plus it’s a super quick order and pick up process.

Love this place! Excellent burgers, vegan options, and you can get a Hamm sandwich at the bar (Hamm’s, shot of whiskey with a pickle back shot). Good price and so delicious! Favorite burger in KC.

This place came highly recommended by some friends. My biggest knock on the place was having to order online. It seriously was a pain!! The service was great, and the place has a great atmosphere! The burger definitely was not one of my favorites. I ordered a double cheeseburger, but the patties are so thin you couldn’t tell. The McDonalds Quarter Pounder has more meat than the Double. I’ll probably give it another try knowing what to expect. Also there were no fries on the menu.

Let me tell you…. I you don’t think this isn’t the BEST burger in all of KC, I’ll fight you!! Fresh, high quality meat, soft steamed bun, and fresh condiments. Outstanding! Don’t sleep on those tots too!
