About us

A grill, and a room around it

Ten years on Lagos Avenue. Same beef, same butcher, same argument about charcoal.

The room

One grill, one street

Stack is fourteen tables, a counter you can sit at on your own without anybody asking why, and a grill you can hear from the door. We open at eleven and the coals are lit by ten. Nothing on the board is finished before it is ordered.

The beef

Chuck and brisket, ground here every morning, never frozen. Two butchers in ten years and we still use the first one.

The coals

Charcoal, not gas. It is slower, it is more work at the end of the night, and it is the entire difference.

The buns

Baked two streets away and delivered twice a day, so the last burger of the evening is on the same bun as the first.

The room

Loud, bright and quick. We would rather turn a table twice than have anybody wait outside for an hour.

The team

Who cooks

Four of us have been here since the container. The rest joined because they ate here first.

Adjoa Nyarko

Founder

Started with one grill and a container on Lagos Avenue in 2016. Still does the Thursday beef run herself.

Nii Armah

Head chef

Wrote the burger sauce and refuses to write it down. Twelve years on a pass before this one.

Tetteh Ansah

Grill

Runs the coals every service. Can tell a medium from a medium-rare by the sound the patty makes.

Knows the regulars' orders and the whole room's names by the second visit. Books the long table.

Best table in the house

The counter, second stool from the left. You can watch the whole pass from it and nobody will rush you.
