I thought my "New Yorker" with bacon added and Swiss was better than Shake Shack. So there you go… Right now this place is in my top 5 in Manhattan. Not saying it'll stay that way, but it was really good.
For a fast food joint their burgers were pretty good. You can right off the bat taste the better quality in the meat. I'm sorry but nowhere does McDonald's or Burger King compare as written by some other reviewers.
I recommend the New Yorker smashburger and the spicy baja smashburger. Oh and of course the smash fries but be warned the smash fries are oily as hell but the flavors packed into those oily as hell potatoes is worth it! The regular size for fries is more than enough to share amongst 2 people. (I had to knock of a star due to the amount of oil on the food) A perk about this place is you can get a decent beer on draft with your burger too!
The space is clean, the staff makes an effort to immediately clear off tables.
All in all.. Want a burger but you're in a rush? Stop in here for a decent one!
Smashburger was a big hit! Our first visit and we can't wait to return. Service was fast and friendly. The burgers and fries delicious. My daughter said she likes it better than Shake Shack or Schnipper's. Only one she still likes more is Burger Fi.
My daughter had the regular Smashburger and regular Smash Fries. I had special order burger, multi grain bun, mayo, goat cheese, and lettuce. Naturally I had sweet potato fries.
The final result was no indigestion from eating too many spices!! Just plain old fresh natural taste. I rarely eat beef so that's saying something. I want to go back to try the chicken and the Avocado Club Burger. Both sound good!!
Patty too thin, lacks meat taste and juiciness. Bun and toppings are good, make up for the lack of patty. Fries are good and abundant. You end up filling yourselves on carbs and toppings. Prefer five guys, although this has better "service" (counter to table) and ambiance. Draft IPA was nice and cold.
Bacon cheeseburger + french fries + draft IPA = $16
If you go, order a large patty (regular patty is too small).
I mean, it's a Smashburger, so you know the general drill, but I'm always impressed with this location. For somewhere so central, it's always very clean and impressively fast service. Lines move quickly (and when they don't, it's not the fault of the staff, it's tourists being slow), your food comes out faster than you'd imagine, and the staff is very quick to clear your tray afterwards. It's almost always easy to find a table even during the lunch rush, and overall I always have a good experience at this location.
I'm also a big fan of Smashburger, in terms of quality. For a pseudo-fast food burger, it's much higher quality than almost anywhere else, and they have an impressive amount of options. Smashfries are my absolute FAVORITE, although they are a bit oily, so if you're turned off by that, maybe stay with regular. It is a little pricier than your average fast food, but I think it reflects the higher quality.
So I'm currently sitting in smash burger finishing up my spicy fries writing this review.
I came here because I had a birthday deal coupon. It allows you to buy an entree and get a shake for free. I've never done smash before so figured this would be a good way to try out the place. But after eating this meal I'm fine with calling it quits.
First off let me say that the staff is nice and friendly. They are quick with the orders and hard working.
So I ordered a regular buffalo smash. This comes with buffalo sauce, blue cheese a thin piece of lettuce and 2 tiny tomatoes on a single meat patty. As you can tell I'm already not satisfied. The party was wafer thin and bland while the buffalo and cheese didn't seem to mix well.
The fries which is a regular spicy fries were surprisingly hot which I enjoyed. The only downside is that they were very salty so my mouth is parched at the moment.
The last item I got was the free shake. This was of course a salted caramel shake. By all intensive purposes the shake looks like a vanilla shake. Normally a company distinguishes their shakes by adding extra caramel down the glass side before pouring in the shake but no such luck here. Anyway the shake has a weird off beat taste that I can't seem to figure out.
Overall I would pass on this fast food type chain and go with a good old fashioned Burger King burger and shake. I haven't had Burger King in about 4 years so that is saying something.
If I have to use only one word to summarise the whole experience i had in smash burger – I would use *oily*
Everything from the smash fries to the burger were dripping in grease.
The burger at 1st reminded me of a low quality burger van's burger in the UK (Henley's burger) due to the oil it has. However, after a few bites it was very obvious that smash burger grease has/ and will always win against any competitors (if we talk about how greasy/oily one can get a burger to be).
The smashfries was mediocre at best with the fries neither hot, nor fresh out of the fryer – just warm.
The burger was also over cooked.
Please go to shake shack or five guys for burgers if u are looking to try a burger joints around the area. Very disappointed. 🙁
the sweet potato fries keeps me coming back. this time i tried the cobb salad. it wasn't amazing but i mean it is just a salad. it took a little longer for my lunch to come out even though everyone that ordered to go before AND after me got their meals already is because my chicken takes time. I had to ask the manager if they forgot my order but he said because everyone else ordered burgers its quicker to make.
not ordering a salad again but their veggie frites are pretty good but super oily.
