Don't let the outside fool you, the interior is surprisingly clean and put together for what looks…read morelike a converted house. Ended up here for a double smash and fries and left mostly impressed. The fries are the star of the show perfectly crispy, well seasoned, exactly what you want. The burger is solid, good crust on the patty and a nicely toasted brioche bun, but the seasoning competes a little too much with the beef rather than letting the meat shine. Slightly oily too. For a smash burger the beef should be the focus and it gets a little lost here. $19 for a double and fries is reasonable for the quality, not a steal but fair. Only real complaint beyond the burger seasoning is cans only, no fountain drinks, which feels like an oversight for a burger spot. Would come back if I was in the area.

Recently I was craving a good burger, and after hearing about a new smash burger place that opened…read moreclose to where we live, my wife and I decided to give it a try. We made the short drive to Smash Daddy's, just outside of Orient, Ohio. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full. It's not a very big place--maybe 10 to 12 small tables--and from the outside it looks like a house that was converted into a restaurant. Don't let the size fool you, though. It's small in space but huge on flavor. Smash Daddy's is set up as counter service. You order from the menu board at the register, grab a seat, and they bring your food out when it's ready. The menu is fairly simple, which I actually like. You can build your own burger or choose from their signature burgers. They also offer grilled all-beef hot dogs with different toppings, and their only side is fair-style fresh-cut fries. I ordered the Smash Daddy Burger, which comes with two smash patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles, and their house-made Smash Sauce on a grilled brioche bun. My wife ordered the same burger, just without the onions. I also ordered one of their grilled hot dogs because I wanted to try it. It came on a split-top Texas toast bun, and I topped it with mustard, ketchup (yes, I know... I like ketchup on my hot dogs!), relish, and chopped onions. We also shared an order of the fresh-cut fries. The fries were excellent--thin, crispy, flavorful, and the portion was easily big enough for two people to share. The hot dog had a great grilled flavor, the bun was warm and soft, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. But the real star of the meal was the smash burger. The patties had that perfect crispy edge, the grilled brioche bun was soft with just a little crunch, and every bite was packed with flavor. Everything worked together perfectly. It was also a very satisfying size--I was completely full when I finished. When we ordered, we met Teresa at the counter. She was incredibly friendly, explained the menu, offered suggestions, and never stopped moving. She was taking orders, delivering food, cleaning tables, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She mentioned they've only been open about nine months, and judging by the steady line of customers the entire time we were there, they're doing something right. They also carry frozen treats from Whit's, which is a nice bonus if you're looking for dessert. My only minor complaints are the prices. Drinks are limited to canned soda or bottled water, and a can of soda costs $2. While that's not outrageous, it does seem a little high. The burgers are also on the expensive side. My Smash Daddy Burger was $13 by itself, fries were $5, and the hot dog was $5. Our total came to about $42 for two burgers, one shared order of fries, one hot dog, and drinks. That's a little more than I expected, especially when you compare it to what you can get at a sit-down restaurant. That said, the food quality was excellent, the portions were generous, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Will I be back? Without a doubt. Just be prepared for the prices so you don't experience a little sticker shock when you order. If you're looking for one of the best smash burgers in the area, Smash Daddy's is definitely worth checking out.

The layout features a dedicated bar section and a separate dining area, plus they offer outdoor seating for warmer weather. Since it was quiet when we arrived, we were told we could sit anywhere. We chose a booth, though I did notice the seats were a little dirty and the side of the table was sticky. However, our server was very sweet and friendly. Our food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering, and the portion sizes were very generous. We were a party of 3 and ended up ordering the Cheeseburger, which came with fries and coleslaw (I definitely recommend this), Cajun Melt, which comes with fries but I substituted it with sweet potato fries (note: there is an extra cost for substitutions). Also, we ordered the Cheese Steak, which also came with fries and coleslaw. Everything tasted great. I really can't complain about the food. If you are in the downtown Gahanna area and looking for a casual spot with good food, definitely check this place out.

I got the chicken Philly and would not get it again because it is grilled chicken slices on a sub. I felt like I was eating very dry sliced chicken for the most part.

My other daughter got the kids grilled cheese and gave 2 thumbs up! Ticket time is excellent as we were here for maybe 10 minutes and everyone had their food even with a super crowded restaurant!

My wife loves Mexican, so we were surprised to find a place that specialized in both. The hot dogs are classic and much better than what you'd find at dirty Frank's or other well known places in Columbus. The enchiladas were also super tasty. The pricing was low for what you get. Very much a hole in the wall and throw back to cafes of the past. But the thing that stood out the most were the people who worked there. The guy who seemed to be managing (might be the owner) was disarmingly genuine, welcoming and kind. Everyone else was amazing as well. It felt like the kind of hospitality that you just don't see anymore. I haven't experienced anything like it since I was a kid decades ago. With all the angst and stress of everything nowadays, it's so reassuring to find a bright spot in the world like this. Dad's / Talita's is truly a gem. Check it out!

Review by: Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube…read more Service: incredible friendly staff. Only time you interact is when ordering but questions are welcome and the recommendations are spot on. Ambiance/Atmosphere: small inside but with extra seating outside. Clean and well spaced regardless of limited space. The garage door opening keeps it fresh when it's hot out. Food: 1. Big back Combo box burger is incredible juicy and tender. Bun holds up well. Cheese is gooey and plentiful. Well seasoned Pattie's and the caramelized onion are perfect. I normally enjoy thick burgers more but I actually really enjoyed this smash burger. 8.5. Wings are incredible tender and juicy. Skin is crunchy and the rub mixed with the sauce is spicy, peppery, well salted. The sweetness of the honey doesn't come through quite as much as I would like but the flavor and quality is unreal. 9. If honey was stronger it would push 9.25. Shrimp is perfectly cooked. Tender with a snap. Flavoring doesn't hold on to them all that well. Subtle seasoning but shrimp is really well cooked and buttery. 6. Fries are sweet, salty, and soft. I'd love if they were crispy. I don't eat fries tbh but anyone who did would definitely enjoy these fries. 5 2. Philly steak with shrimp is delicious. Meat is tender, plentiful, and so well seasoned. The sauces are garlic aioli and another I'm unsure of. The shrimp holds the seasoning a lot better here and is cooked just as perfect. Super cheesy and gooey. This sandwich is special. The onion and peppers are well sautéed and sweet. This kills warios. Bread is soft and a little weak when it comes to dexterity but regardless flavor is excellent. If they had a semolina roll this would easily be a 10. As is 9.5

Fairly large menu for a bar. I thought about burgers and other things, but I ended up with the southern dog. A good dog, good bun, with excellent pulled pork on top, good sauce, greens, relish. And I of course had to get cheese curds because I love them. They were very good too. Small, crispy, nice and melted inside. Came with a good, creamy sauce with a tiny bit of heat. Those added up to enough food for me, because I wasn't very hungry. Definitely on a normal day for me I probably would've also gotten a burger, or some other side. For a lunch, or a late evening meal, curds and a dog were perfect. And tasted excellent. Not busy on a Thursday at 6, just steady. Service was good, upstairs and down. Drinks are at the bar, or they have some canned pop upstairs. I really enjoyed my experience. The only negatives? The soothing sounds of axes, thunking against the walls right beside your table. And the stools are weird. They are too short or the tables are too high or something. And I am 5' 10", so not small, they just were not quite where I needed them. But, if you're eating drippy food, or your motor functions are impaired, a high table might reduce spillage. Speaking of motor functions, the stairs up to the food joint are steep, steep steep.
