Sizzle District
A tall double smash burger with melted cheese and pickles

Big Bites.Bold Flavor.

Gourmet burgers over open flame in Deep Ellum. Chuck and brisket ground in-house every morning, smashed to order, served loud.

  • Smashed daily
  • 48-hour brine
  • Ground in-house
  • Texas beef
  • Open flame
  • Dallas, TX

Everything worth doing happens before noon.

Four things we refuse to shortcut, and one thing we refuse to close early.

The District Double

Two patties, American cheese, house pickles and district sauce.

$14

Ground at six every morning

Chuck and brisket, broken down in-house before the doors open. Nothing arrives pre-ground and nothing sits.

Trays of golden fries fresh from the fryer

Brisket fries

Beer cheese, burnt ends, scallion and pickled onion.

Open till 2am

Friday and Saturday, because Dallas is not finished at ten.

A thick milkshake topped with whipped cream and cookies

Spun to order

Burnt honey and sea salt, thick enough to bend the straw.

Nine seconds a side is not a suggestion.

The griddle runs at 450 from open to close. Everything on it is seasoned, timed and turned by someone whose name you will learn.

Built for two. Eaten by one.

Same owner, same six a.m. grind, same opinion about what counts as enough pickles.

“I have eaten a lot of burgers in this city. The District Double is the only one I plan my week around.”

Come get it.

A table for two, a tray for eight, or the whole block. Either way, the grill is already hot.
