Overview

About This Establishment

Post-hike pit stop with serious texture discipline. The Proper Burger yields a clean bite from a non-frozen patty, with caramelized onions bringing a crisp snap against a fluffy, crisp bun. The Proper sauce lands with a tangy kick and a glaze that rides a grease track. Vegans will crave the Vegan Bollywood Burger with mango chutney and kale pesto, while the Poutine Burger delivers rich gravy and cheese curds that sing with a savory edge.
