If you’re on the hunt for a real smash burger in BC, this little gem absolutely delivers.
The burger was everything a smash burger should be — thin, beautifully crispy on the outside, and still moist and flavourful inside. The lettuce and tomato were fresh (no mushiness here), and the bacon was cooked to perfection: crispy without being overdone. Every bite had that perfect balance of texture and flavour.
The vanilla milkshake? Creamy, rich, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. A classic done right.
And let’s talk about the “Messy” fries — loaded with sour cream, green onion, and stadium cheese sauce. They were indulgent, flavour-packed, and completely worth it. Definitely the kind of side dish you don’t want to share.
A true hidden gem that’s doing comfort food right.
Thanks COOKS Restaurant!

This place probably has the best fried chicken sandwich I've eaten. The fried chicken is juicy but the batter is super crunchy. The sauce, the bun, and all the toppings are just perfect. It made me feel $15 for a sandwich is justified.
The burger is also very good.
The half and half side for $7 is a great option for those who want a bit of everything. More places should offer it.
I'd love to come back to Cumberland just to eat here

During my extensive travels, I have sought out the ultimate comfort food: the hamburger. Among the countless contenders, Cook’s establishment stands out above the rest, offering a burger that is unparalleled in quality and taste. This no-frills eatery focuses on a limited menu, ensuring that every dish is crafted with exceptional skill and using only the finest ingredients.
The simplicity of their offerings is a testament to their dedication to perfection. The menu is straightforward, free from any fusion or bizarre interpretations of the classic burger. The burgers and fries are delivered promptly, maintaining their heat and freshness, which is a rare delight in the fast-paced world of dining. Hot hamburgers; imagine that!
While the experience is nearly flawless, there is one minor suggestion for improvement: the provision of more substantial napkins. Given the caliber of their burgers, a napkin that can withstand the juicy goodness would be a welcome addition.
In conclusion, if there is a better hamburger out there, I have yet to discover it. This restaurant has set a new standard for me.
ps. Annie is awesome!
