Ordered from here on Doordash not too long ago and it was SOOOO GOOOD!!! We've been craving it but im not off work until 10pm and they close at 9pm :/ maybe on my next day off we will order again! Definitely get the gnarly fries, can't miss those. And I had a cheeseburger with extra cheese, SO GOOD
I got the single Oklahoma burger and the gnarly fries. I'd come back to try the double patty burger. Very nice environment/atmosphere. Smash burger: 8/10. One of the best smash burgers I had in the US. - My pros: Bun was cushiony soft with a good bite to it. Sauce mixed well without being too overpowering. Patty seasoned decently. - My cons: Beef patty didn't taste that beefy. The flavor was a bit mild/lacking for me (maybe the double patty will be better). Gnarly fries: 7.5/10 Nothing crazy. A fancier In N Out animal fries. Solid flavor and good crunch. Little overpriced for what it is, but probably a good price point for their intended clientele.
I have yet to try an actual burger from Fast Time Burgers, but just based on their Gnarly Fries alone I can tell you that I will absolutely be back to try everything! For only $7, you get a pile of French fries covered in what I assume is their Smash Sauce (similar to thousand island but with slightly more acidity), grilled/caramelized onions, and grated aged white cheddar. First of all, it’s great value plus it smells heavenly! When I took my first bite, I was hit with savory/salty cheese, some sweetness from the onions, and a nice creamy & acidic sauce. Everything brought the classic french fry together. Of course I used a teeny bit of ketchup to dip a few bites and it just made it even better. Next time I’m going to sprinkle some black pepper on it too! You definitely have to be paying attention to when your order is ready. It didn’t seem like they were calling out names or numbers, but I think in general they send a text when your food is ready.
So I did a walk-in for a protein style double all American burger. It was really good you can tell the meat was fresh and the veggies are Farm picked because they were also very fresh. They have really nice beverages too. They have the cane cola and other flavored like raspberry pomegranate and they have ice cream which was also a delight.
I’ve loved these burgers since they’ve been a vendor at the farmers market, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow into a full brick-and-mortar location. Their burger is so good. You can really taste the difference!! Everything feels high-quality and super fresh. My go-to is the All-American burger. I tried the Oklahoma at first because I love grilled onions, but the All-American ended up winning me over. The flavor is just better in my opinion cause of the fresh ingredients (lettuce, onions, and tomato). I also usually get a double! The single is a bit small for my appetite, so doubling up is totally worth it. The fries are crispy and delicious, though I recommend adding a bit of salt to taste. The first couple of times I got them, they were a little bland, but seasoning them yourself makes a big difference. As for the milkshakes—they’re rich, creamy, and delicious. I’d probably get one every time if my lactose intolerance didn’t keep getting in the way. 😅
