We didn't stumble into this title. We earned it. 🏆🍔 Being voted Best Burger in America is something we are incredibly proud of — and it's a promise we make to every single guest who walks through our doors. Quality ingredients, burgers cooked to order on a buttered toasted potato roll, and the kind of care that you can taste in every single bite. Don't just take the title's word for it. Come in and taste it for yourself.

Last chance to try El Dave — and to help us honor the man behind the burger. This month has been a beautiful tribute to our dear friend and regular David Kahler, who loved nothing more than a simple cheddar cheeseburger and great conversation. We are so grateful for everyone who came in, tried El Dave, and helped us give back. 🙏

$1 from every El Dave sold goes to ALS research — and there are still a few days left to make it count! Cheddar, Pickled Onions, Tomato, Jalapeño, Avocado, and Cilantro Lime Crema. Get in here before the month is over.
