About Project Burger
Project Burger is a casual American smash burger restaurant in Palm Desert, best understood as a direct stop for a burger-focused meal rather than a formal night out. The basics are simple: casual dress, an expected spend around $20 per person, hours listed as Monday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with Sunday closed.
The value case is similarly direct. If the goal is a casual smash burger in Palm Desert, Project Burger fits that brief. It is not a venue to frame around an elaborate dining format or a deep list of extras; the confirmed draw is the burger itself, especially for diners who want something unfussy at a moderate price point.
Smash burgers and a focused order
The menu is grounded in American smash burgers. The item to prioritize is The Project, a smash burger made with signature house spread and bacon jam. That gives first-timers a clear starting point without needing to overthink the order.
Project Burger has also featured limited-time items, including the Peso Pluma burger. Because limited-time dishes can change, treat that as a past or rotating-style example rather than something to assume is always available.
