Runaway Kitchen

Had been wanting to try this place for months just from seeing pictures of the food and finally was able to get there and it did not disappoint. The burger was great and the fries are among the best I have ever had!

I have been eating there fairly regularly over the past year or so, of course for the delicious food, but because I want to check consistency and quality. Here's what I have come up with. In the hundreds of burgers I eat every year, I have never had one that has had me drive to their business on accident, almost like muscle memory. It's official, my body craves their food. The beef is very fresh, seasoned to taste every order, smashed to perfection. Produce is always cold and crispy, there is never a question of whether ypu want veggies or not. The fries are standard cut, fried in beef tallow (from what I understand) and are consistent every time I've had them. If you are there for more than just the standard menue items, the have an array of other fun menue items including a boozy menue, shakes, and a mixture of both. The environment is pleasant, and the family that owns and operates this well oiled machine are beyond incredible. I wanted to give them a fair review, and with every fair review comes transparency. Cons: Rain...? Food disappears too quick...? It's not free...? Thanks for hearing me babble, and run, don't walk, to the Runaway Kitchen. Hands down the #1 smashburger in the salem and surrounding area. *Pictured is the double patty skimpy burger extra onion. Kid-friendliness: Absolutely Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Was recommended this place by the owner of the fussy duck across the lot and grateful I gave this place a chance because it is hands down the BEST burger Ive had in a long, long time. Smashburgers are soooooo good - 5 stars!!! ***update! Went back and ordered another burger (the Jessy!). I didnt realize what I ordered wasnt on their fabulous bread this time around (I need to read more carefully when Ive had a long day), but even so it was still fabulous! Great burger. They have the best bread, so I still prefer it with the bun, but its still one of the best burgers Ive ever had. I love that the jessy has extra pickles too. So sooo good. Thank you!

I dont know where to start. The service is amazing you are greeted with kindness and respect. I had a little hard time reading the tv and one of the cashier ladys saw and gave me a paper menu, that says a lot about a place, if they notice you are struggling and offer you help that place is a place to go to for ever! And the food!!! Oh boy is it good!!! Love it! My new favorite burger place! Love supporting small local businesses!
