Fresh beef smashed on a hot griddle
Mamalonas shakes and Las Pilas

Tres primos.
One vision.

Diego, Mark, and Moises' journey began with a simple idea: come together to create delicious, high-quality burgers that bring people together.

We believe that a great burger is more than just a meal; it's an experience that combines fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fresh beef.
Hot griddle.

Our menu features a variety of mouth-watering smash burgers, each made with 100% fresh beef, hand-smashed to perfection on a hot griddle.

We also offer a selection of tasty sides, refreshing shakes, and a curated list of beer and wine to complement your meal. Whether you're craving a classic cheeseburger or something more adventurous, we have something for everyone.

Smash, shakes,
y más.

At Project Burger, we are committed to using only the freshest ingredients and supporting local suppliers whenever possible. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and creating a friendly environment where you can enjoy great food with friends and family.

Thank you for choosing Project Burger. We look forward to serving you and becoming your go-to spot for delicious smash burgers in Palm Desert!
