Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

There are very few times when I personally crave burgers, I have been eying this spot for over a year and waited for the burger craving to kick-in. I got the Laughing Buddha and Big Buddha. I’d give the Big Buddha a 7/10- solid burger, would definitely go for a double cheeseburger instead next time. The extra bun was too much for me but it looked and tasted good. Now… the Laughing Buddha I’d rate a 9/10- a beef patty with crispy deep fried mushrooms. The subtle umami with a burst of melted cheese was phenomenal and THE CRUNCH! I’m happy I ate there and got to taste it fresh. I usually try out different menu items when visiting a food spot the next time but I’ll have to get this again. I also got some cajun fries with a side of nirvana sauce. It was ok, I prefer crunchy/crispy deep fried foods which they delivered on the mushrooms but more subtle on the fries. The nirvana sauce was mustardy and fresh for a change on all the ketchup-mayo sauces in other food joints. Service was great, very friendly cashier who gave me a sample of their brewed peach tea (I believe flavor of tea changes), very yummy and not too sweet. Excited to try out the chicken options next time!

This place is great! Reasonable prices, a Very unique burger with the smashed butter bun, and Cajun fries all were excellent. It’s rare to find a rare burger. The grilled onion was unlike anything I’ve had on a burger before. The service is actually the best part, every food truck I go to treats you like you’re annoying them. This place checked up on us after delivering food to us? What. Said goodbye and thank you for coming, just so refreshing. Better or just as good as you’d expect from a restaurant. That’s a first. Thank you! It’s pretty far away or I would come more, but looking forward to coming back. Don’t let the gas station location fool you, I could see parking hard when gas station open, but was super easy at night
