Burgers don’t need to be complicated to be amazing. But sometimes, you want a little extra.
Enter the Mushroom Swiss burger. Same juicy patty you love, now topped with a mountain of buttery, garlicky sautéed mushrooms and a slice of nutty, melty Swiss cheese. It’s savory. It’s satisfying. And it’ll make your kitchen smell like a steakhouse. No reservations required.
