A new smashburger concept has opened at Downtown Houston's Finn Hall, also known as The Finn.

The details

Proper - A Burger Spot makes smash burgers, chicken tenders, classic floats made with orange soda, Coke, Dr. Pepper or root beer; and fries cooked in beef fat at the downtown-area food hall, according to a March 7 email on the opening.

Chef Mike Collantes served as the culinary consultant for the restaurant. His vision was to reimagine the golden age of American comfort food.

On the menu


Burgers come with a variety of toppings, according to The Finn Hall website. These include A Proper Smash, made with American cheese, Proper's burger sauce, dill pickle and caramelized onion; the Bacon Blue Cheese, made with Swiss cheese, truffle mushroom marmalade and crispy shiitake mushrooms; and the Frenchy, which comes with crispy onion strings, Boursin garlic herb cheese, bone marrow glaze and pickled red onions.

The restaurant also offers a hot honey chicken sandwich and fries loaded with the Frenchy burger's ingredients.
