Miami's best smash burgers & real ice cream milkshakes have arrived. Late-night cravings satisfied 'til 4 AM.
This popular smash burger joint, originating from Miami, brings its acclaimed Black Angus beef burgers and real ice cream milkshakes to New York City. Known for its late-night hours, extending to 4 AM on weekends, it offers a delicious option for cravings any time. While the smash burgers, crispy fries, and creamy milkshakes receive high praise, some find the 'Louie sauce' to be a less impressive imitation.
The star of the menu is the smash burger, made with 100% fresh Black Angus beef, noted for its thin, crisp patties and satisfying flavor. Popular choices include the Skinny Louie Cheese Burger and the Applewood Bacon Burger. Sides like crispy fries and creamy milkshakes, particularly the Cookies & Cream and Choco Brownie flavors, are also highly recommended. An Impossible Burger option is available for vegetarians, with gluten-free buns as an alternative. Some find the signature 'Louie sauce' to be a letdown, comparing it unfavorably to other sauces.
"The smash burgers, particularly the Skinny Louie Cheese Burger and those with Applewood bacon, are highly recommended. Don't miss out on the crispy fries and the creamy milkshakes, especially the Cookies & Cream and Choco Brownie flavors."
Customers generally rave about the quality of the smash burgers, fries, and milkshakes, often giving them high marks. However, there's a notable sentiment that the 'Louie sauce' is overpriced and reminiscent of a fast-food chain's sauce.
Important Note
Some customers feel the signature 'Louie sauce' is overpriced and tastes like a common fast-food sauce, detracting slightly from the overall positive experience.
