Driving up the coast and we find the only restaurant in Point Arenas was open. did we get the pail of gold. We order thru the window French onion soup grilled sandwich, amazing arugula salad and the sooo good French fries (serious) ever. We’re driving and sharing bites, cheering our luck for finding such a pleasureful meal. Service was also very welcoming. Make sure to go to the pier and swing on the tree.

Not a lot of options for dinner in the area but thankfully Zack’s was open for take out while under construction. Will be a cute place when the construction is one. Service was friendly. I don’t consider this style smash burgers, or it’s the best smash burger I’ve had. I had the Classic with bacon, could have used raw onion to cut through the richness of the burger, so so good. Hubs enjoyed the Green Goblin. Sweet potato fries were great. Some of the best chicken tenders I’ve had, moist and they season the breading really well. Comes with plain fries. You should ask for more sauce only one small container comes with each order and they arnt filled all the way up. The honey mustard is way too mustardy like so sharp I couldn’t eat it. Seems like it’s only honey and mustard, needs mayo. The ranch is delicious but too thick so you used it too fast.

It was definitely one of the priciest burgers I've ever ordered. But it was also incredibly tasty! The bun was soft the cheese was melty and whatever sauce they put on it along with whole slices of dill pickle was awesome! And the service was super friendly

My wife bought me a Lauryn Burger and fries. She had other business, so it sat in the car for 2-3 hours. It was still the best burger I've had on the coast, probably the best burger I've had west of the Rockies. This burger is in consideration for best burger of my life (outside fine restaurants, but who orders the burger at a fine restaurant anyway). Seriously, no notes, just gratitude. She tells me it's even better fresh. The fries were even still good, and I wasn't especially hungry.

Best burger I’ve ever had! The food was so delicious, I went back three days in a row while on vacation. I tried the Forager, the Cluck, regular fries and sweet potato fries. The quality of the meat and the way it’s cooked is mouth watering, I loved the buns and that the fries were crispy on the outside. I can’t wait to visit again, I want to try the soft serve and some of the veggie burger options.

Hands down the best burgers I’ve ever had. I returned 3 times during a four day stay. First burger was the Lauryn. The combination of flavors and textures was flat out amazing. Next day I had the Forager. For fans of mushroom burgers this one will make you weep. Last was the Goblin. Just Wow. Crispy jalapeños and spicy green sauce made the other flavors pop rather than overpowering them. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Exactly how I like them. The menu has lots of vegetarian and chicken options as well. I truly enjoyed every bite of these meals. Highly recommended.

It was an amazing experience to get our food here! They have this cute window where you can order as long as they are renovating. The owner was so nice, she told us about the restaurant project and we had a nice conversation while waiting. And then the food..wooow...so delicious! And you defenitely get enough! Burger and fries were really really good...those garlic fries, soo yummy!! Oh and don't forget the Mexican cane sugar coke!! Thank you so much!

Seriously the best burger I’ve ever had! And the fries and shakes were incredible too. They use nice ingredients and omg it is so so good. I’m a little sad that all other burgers will now pale in comparison to this one!
