Finally a place selling a smashburger that actually gives you a smash burger! Thin, crispy patties with perfect topping, sauce, and bun. We also got the whipped ricotta, which was also fantastic. Drink selection is great. Chicken wings were delicious but I wish they were tossed in the sauces as opposed to just drizzled on. Staff was super quick bringing any orders over. Plenty of seating and good vibes overall. Will absolutely be coming back here. -
I was underwhelmed. Part of me likes how everything is self-serve, but we weren't even welcomed in at all. No option to customize anything on their menu. Viewing the tap menu from your phone is irritating because you have to go through and click on each beer. The smash burger was really good. Fries were just average. Met some cool people (other customers). Waited 20 minutes for a Sprite and had to ask for it twice after putting in my order. -
EDIT: and we spent $80 😭😭
It took 1.5 hours to get our food today. I ordered a smash burger and every bite was burnt (activated charcoal burnt). Curry fries were the saving grace of this utterly disastrous meal (and they were lukewarm). I try to be understanding of third spaces but this place was OVERRUN by children. Seriously, at least two kids to every adult ratio. I’m writing this from the cookout drive thru 😂😭 -
Lakewood Social was recommended to me from an associate who said it was very family friendly. This is true, as my little family ended up here twice in one week. Food is average but decently priced, there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and wine & beer to go. I can see us coming here regularly! -
First time visiting, this restaurant on my marathon weekend. I'm glad I did. The service is impeccable lady Cherri was very, very friendly. She give me a great recommendations. Food was Delicious.
