Really. Burgers are amazing, service is great, people are nice. You chose the size of your burger (1/2 lb or 1/2 lb) which is nice for us smaller eaters. dont miss the rib filled burger! more

Great burgers, for those who say theirs was undercooked, they very strongly recommend that you do not order the stuffed burgers medium rare or rare, because they are so thick it is hard to cook them correctly and get the stuffing hot.

For about $9 this place is not a good... more

After reading the gleaming reviews of El Jefe Burger Shack on this forum, my husband and I thought we'd give it a try.
