Empire with Cheese / Lil Empire Burger
This classic smash burger features well-seasoned patties with caramelized edges, fresh toppings, and a bun that holds up perfectly. It's praised for its flavor and texture.
"The empire with cheese may be the perfect burger. Great smashed patties with texture and flavor, the bun holds up perfectly, and the toppings are fresh and only add to the overall package."

Fries
Crispy, hot, and made from skin-on russet potatoes, these fries are well-seasoned and maintain their quality even for takeout.
"The fries were fantastic: still hot and crispy even after sitting in a delivery bag for 10 to 15 minutes. They are made from skin-on russet potatoes, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned."

- Grab ice cream from Made by Marcus after your meal for a complete experience.
- The Bridgeland location can be cramped with minimal seating compared to other locations.
