Book NowAbout Small Time Cooks
Small Time Cooks serves scratch-made smash burgers and hand-cut fries in Amed when you crave a break from nasi goreng. Ground beef is minced on-site, buns are baked fresh daily, and triple-smashed patties arrive with deep caramelization under melted cheese. Diners stopping by after long reef dives pair them with house-cut fries seasoned in coarse salt or spicy cheese potatoes mixed with sweet spuds. The kitchen turns out tofu-stuffed bao buns and house-crafted black bean sweet potato patties alongside thick milkshakes, while the open-air backyard gives traveling families room to unwind with a dedicated kids' playground.
- Scratch-Made Daily: Beef is minced in-house, buns are baked fresh, and potatoes are hand-cut daily for crisp fries.
- Plant-Forward & Pescatarian Choices: Hearty black bean sweet potato patties, tofu bao buns, and fresh snapper fish and chips offer varied dining options.
- Family-Friendly Setup: A dedicated backyard play area and generous shareable fry baskets easily accommodate family outings.

Before you head over
Practical advice on group ordering, portion sizes, and kid-friendly amenities.
Pre-Order for Large Groups
If you are traveling with a large party or tour group, pre-order your meals about 90 minutes in advance so the kitchen can prepare and customize orders smoothly before you arrive.
Share the Generous Fry Baskets
One basket of house-cut fries is generous enough to share among several diners, so consider sharing sides before ordering individual portions for everyone.
Head Back to the Kids' Playground
If visiting with children, head toward the back of the open-air venue to find the on-site playground where kids can play while food is freshly prepared.
