★★★★ · 4 forks
$8 burger · $4 fries · $1 aioli

Mac's smashburger at Tower Pub arrived with the kind of crackling edges I'd line up for — the patty pressed hard onto a screaming-hot griddle, the way it's meant to be done. The lettuce was wilted, which I'd skip next time and ask for on the side. But the fries showed up molten and salt-flecked, with a house aioli that did its job without showing off. $8 for the burger, fair. Four forks.
