An amazing burger! Their potato bun is to die for and the quality of their ingredients really stands out. Service is fast casual and turnaround was probably twenty minutes. I almost wish the burger was bigger or that I order two next time. Highly recommend

A bit pricey for burgers but I liked the burger itself! The fries were eh, too salty imo. Limited seating.

It's Always a Great Time and OUTSTANDING Service and Food! The Waffle Fries are a Must with your Smash Burger.

Bad Jimmy's has a super simple menu, making it easy to order without overthinking. We came in as a group of 10 and were impressed with how quickly everyone got their food. While the space can feel a bit cramped on a busy day, we were lucky enough to snag the seating area right in front of the ordering counter. I went with the One LA Burger, and wow--it was packed with flavor and loaded with pastrami! Yes, it was messy, but absolutely worth it. Every bite was fire, and I'd definitely order it again if I'm in the area. If you're nearby, I highly recommend checking this place out--it's worth a visit!

Really good burgers. I will definitely be coming back if I am in the area! Their not-so-secret sauce reminded me of a spicy canes sauce and it is so good. Fries were great as well. The workers are so kind and there's a little bit of seating inside and a good amount on their enclosed patio.

What a smash hit of a smashburger. Sauce was great, patties were crispy, cheese was melted but the best part was the bun. It was one solid piece holding this work of art together like a hot dog bun decided to start bulking. It was literally the perfect bun. Texture was great, it was airy. But the absolute best part was how because it was basically a hot dog bun hybrid, nothing was lost. Nothing fell out of the burger and I wasn't left with a greasy mess. ALL of the sauce was contained. What great bun choice. Fries were pretty mid.

This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint! The menu is pretty short and sweet like a traditional burger place, basically a double double with all the toppings, or a plain one. I got the the double double and it was super good! I was nervous at first because that sounds like a lot of food. But the staff was super helpful and explained that they are actual smash burgers. So the meat is super super thin like paper thin. So a double is perfect! And the fries were 10/10! The vibe was giving neighborhood hipster bar it was very chill, no frills! I'll definitely be back, to try the soft serve and a cocktail! Would be a great place to take out of town people for a quick bite!
