TrueCraft Burger

Honestly, this place is not anything special. The burger was just a below-average smash burger and didn’t really stand out from what you can get at plenty of other places. They advertise their fries as being cooked in beef tallow, but honestly, they tasted pretty much like regular McDonald’s fries. The beef tallow didn’t seem to make any noticeable difference besides being something to put on the menu. The pricing is also frustrating. They don’t really offer meal combos, and a double burger combo is around $20, which feels overpriced for what you’re getting. On top of that, charging an extra $0.50 just to add basic toppings like lettuce and tomato is ridiculous. Overall, nothing about the burger or fries justified the price for me. I expected something more unique based on the hype, but it ended up tasting like an average or below-average smash burger with overpriced fries.

Love this place. I especially like their BBQ Jalapeño Smash Burger. I like that their ingredients are fresh and that they cook their fries in beef tallow.

Okay, the 'smashed' burger patty was likely the best I have ever tasted. The char flavor and perfect crunch made up for the smaller size sandwich. $7.99 seems high but the rare flavor of the burger overall might justify the price. My sons and I agreed the fries are McDonald's like. That's a fair description, but there is definitely more depth of flavor than any French fry offering from any chain I've experienced. So, good on TrueCraft.
