The burger at Smashville was good, the patty was not seasoned and the burger as a whole was pretty…read moregreasy. Not really their fault, just the style of burger. I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping. That would help cut through the grease and make the burger feel a little lighter. The restaurant is very clean and bright, I liked the atmosphere while I was in there and the staff were nice!

Small venue in the heart of New Brunswick. Metered parking where you can find it, virtually no…read morenearby on (the same) street parking. Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection! So even at 30 minutes from my house and horrific parking, I would definitely come back. Grades: Double Patty: A++

I finally checked out Buns N Shakes, and the double smash burger absolutely delivered…read more The burger came out looking exactly how a smash burger should -- crispy, lacy edges on the patties, melty cheese, and a soft glossy bun that held everything together perfectly. Every bite had that classic smash burger flavor: juicy beef, caramelized crust, and just the right balance of toppings without overcomplicating it. The fries were solid too -- hot, crispy, and the perfect sidekick to the burger. Overall the spot has a chill, no-nonsense burger joint vibe where the focus is clearly on doing smash burgers right with great service. If you're in New Brunswick and craving a proper smash burger, this place definitely hits the spot. Would 100% come back to try the shakes next time.

When imagining a late night spot to satisfy your hunger after a night drinking, this is the place…read morethat comes to mind. The name describes them perfectly - they serve sandwiches on buns and shakes. Everything here is greasy but oh so good. The smash burgers were great and had a crust on the outside of the patty that elevated the meal. Mozzarella sticks had a great cheese pull - which is always a good sign. The shakes are solid and the side of mac and cheese, I fully didn't expect to get that large of a serving, but it was so great also. While the meal was on the pricier side considering you're getting a bunch of junk food, it was definitely tasty and a perfect restaurant for a college town!

I arrived in New Brunswick by train, which is to say I trusted the machinery of civilization to…read moredeliver me to lunch. It did. A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

Listen, I have no real complaints. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was…read moregood. But I am a fan of constructive criticism. I had the Gandolfi. It was delish but it could be improved with more or larger pepperonis. Also the sausage to bun ratio was off. Either make the sausage bigger or the bun smaller. Bottom line, you'll enjoy your food and beer.

Saturday 1/24/26- Yelp week event. It was cold and parking was -- typical of the area but I was…read moredetermined to have tacos here. I brought Mini-Mi as my p+1 and hubby was our chauffer lol. First, staff is super -super nice!! helpful when trying to decide what to order. Mini Me and I both chose three tacos carne asada with the smokey roja sauce. Hubby had the same but as a burrito. For the sides we had chips and guacamole and the Mexican street corn. Drink were Horchata (Obviously). Tacos and burrito were stuffed, and absolutely delish. They have a self serve salsa bar with the three salsa, the smokey roja, salsa verde and habanero. Let me just say I tried all three- fantastic heat to flavour ration and I poured the habanero on my tacos so good! in fact the smokey roja with the salsa verde is a great combination !! Seating area outside is much larger than inside, we sat inside at a table that had just become available- they do a super brisk take out business and we didn't wait very long for our food to be ready. In fact, my husband and Mini-Me - all three of us, agreed we would for sure make the drive again to have tacos here!! If you are in the area or at school near by- you have to come here at least once, to try the food. I paid for my hubby since he was not my +1 and his meal was about $16. so that in itself is very very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We were very pleased with the food, service and price point.

We were in town for a soccer tournament and stopped here after a game. It was amazing food and cool…read moreoutdoor (but actually indoor) atmosphere! Friendly service, highly recommend!

I walked in there this past Saturday at around 12, and while I was waiting online to order, I observed a male and a female in the meat carving station hanging out, leaning all over the counter, laughing. The male who they were calling Chris was on his phone half of his body leaned on the counter where they carve meat rubbing his mouth and nose over and over and over again. He was just rubbing his bare hand all over his face wiping stuff off of his mouth. I mean it was disgusting. So when the female looked over to me because he was so engrossed in his phone, I said that's disgusting. Tell him to stop touching his face and wash his hands that got his attention and then he started arguing with me that he can do whatever he wanted and that he wasn't working. I told him it didn't matter. He was in a food prep area and if he wasn't on the schedule, he shouldn't be back there definitely shouldn't be in the area where food is prepared, touching his mouth. This went on for a while apparently it was very important for him to prove something. The female walked towards the back with him. I heard lots of laughing, muttering and talking, and then another female came out to look in my direction and a male came out from the kitchen, acting tough, waving his hands in a dismissive fashion, and trying to shoot me intimidating looks. The counter where they make the burritos and the cash wrap was absolutely filthy with food bits and smears, and streaks of God only knows what. I will never go to this location again between the intimidation tactics and the filth I'd rather eat just about anywhere else. Absolutely disgusting. No obvious supervision no management no cleanliness no courtesy if I can give it less than one star I would.
