| - I'm always so excited to try new restaurants- especially when they're within walking distance from where I live. I had heard such great things about Smokin Thyme and finally decided to head there for dinner last week. I was definitely not disappointed.
First of all- the prices! I could not believe how cheap this good was. For a burger and fries with ANY TOPPINGS YOU WANT (including bacon!!!) it's only $5. Yep, that's a five. The sides were all about $3.
Now for the food. I thought my burger was extremely tasty. I would compare it to Five Guys burgers. For toppings, I got Swiss cheese, mushrooms, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The fries were also very good. We tried the mac and cheese balls (fried mac and cheese) which I thought were good but would just call them "mac balls" because it didn't seem like there was much cheese in there. You can also choose whatever sauce you want for your burger. My boyfriend tried the original BBQ sauce which was good and I tried the crack sauce which I would say is exactly like Cane's sauce for my people who have tried the deliciousness there.
Things we didn't try but want to: they also have "French quarter donuts" that you can top with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, hush puppies, sweet potato fries, and coffee.
As for the employees, they seemed friendly. We only interacted with the one young guy who rung up our order, but he was polite and answered any questions we had. Our order took less than 10 minutes. We popped in, ordered, and waited but you can also call ahead!
I will definitely be back here. I'm hoping their prices stay low and people frequent this place enough to keep it open. It's definitely a gem!
