What people say, in short
Burger Bodega draws praise for its smash burgers, and the spicy chopped cheese gets singled out by a few people as a standout. One visitor lists the burger, fries and chocolate shake among their favorite meals, and a commenter describes a compact smash burger spot on Washington Ave with roof seating and a cool vibe. Not everyone is won over: a couple of diners call the food mid or pricey and suggest a chain alternative, one calls it solid but not worth choosing over that chain, and another says it is nothing special.
