    Finally made it in. First visit.
    David P.

    Third review because the consistency deserves it. Tried the papa fries today to go with my burger. That's a lot of fries!!! Good service as usual, especially because I was the first customer. The spot was spotless as usual. I've never seen this place dirty, not even a little bit.

    Triple burger and well done fries
    Rich R.

    Cleanliness NA Cost 2 Cuisine 3 Customer service NA I door dashed a triple burger and well done fries. The "well done" fries were a first for me so I wanted to try them. They looked like seasoned fries but tasted like burnt crispy fries. I did not include that in this rating, because maybe lots of people like that; I gave it a three for the food because the burger was just average; For being triple patties it was pretty small and didn't taste like anything out of the ordinary, The prices are pretty high for what you get. I will probably not eat at this place again.

    I read some of the reviews and I'm sorry but I disagree! I really enjoyed my experience! It's smash burgers, they're not big patties, which I appreciate more to be honest. I was recommended their fire fries, and I now recommend them!! Their thin crispy fries are tasty, it has jalapenos, sauce, cheese, grilled onions, YUM!! It was super clean inside, and the staff were super nice. I noticed they have a drive thru, so definitely going to use their drive thru the next time I'm looking for something tasty but quick. P.S their shakes are INCREDIBLE, the cookies and cream one is wow

    Food is good, burgers are fresh, bun super soft, tasty, better than five guys, but being a cali local almost as good as in n out... However to be fair, this is a smash burger so slightly different... (I took horrible burger pics) However , the fries are heavy, fresh and full of flavor. The loaded fries? Amazing... You can eat one order and be stuffed and satisfied. Price? Considering your getting high quality meat and fries, it ok... But throw one coupon and I'll make an excuse to eat here more... Also while you are here you can gas up at the overpriced pumps and get a car wash

    Fire Fries Bacon Smash Burger

    First time here and I was really happy with my experience , the staff are very friendly I mentioned it was my first time and she walked me through the menu and the different options felt very welcoming. Very clean on the inside one of the cleanest looking restaurants I've visited and then the food was great I was so full by the end of it I left completely satisfied I give papasmash a 5/5 I'll definitely be coming here you can't sleep on this place if you love burgers

    Double bacon smash burger with upside down bun and loaded fries
    Elizabeth G.

    I don't know why there's so much hate for this place. I absolutely loved it! The thing about a smash burger is that it's SMASHED. You can't complain that the burger patty is too thin, just get a double if you want meat that's comparable to a regular sized patty. I also got the Reeces shake (not pictured) and it was also delicious! My fiance got the chocolate shake and it was ok, which is why I have 4

    We all love this place . The food tastes fresh. Its very clean and the customer service was very nice. Thank you guys . Me and my family and friends will come again.

    Food was actually pretty good, employees were great. 2 stars for allowing people to bring their nasty animals in an eating area. Not a service animal either, not that any of the service animals are legit anyways since everyone has fake vests. If you need to eat with animals please do so at home.

    I was heading home to Hemet off the 10 frwy and stopped at the Chevron to use the restroom. While I was there, I started thinking about grabbing some lunch and noticed Papa Smash next door. I looked it up real quick and decided to give it a try -- and I'm glad I did. If you've ever been to Freddy's Steakburgers & Custard, it's a similar concept with that classic smash burger style. The place was clean, the employees were friendly, and the whole vibe was great. I also really liked the logo and colors -- the logo actually reminded me of Bob's Big Boy, which gave it a cool classic feel. I ordered combo #1 and tried it with the bun upside down. It turned out to be a great choice and the burger was really good. Definitely hit the spot. Overall, I'm really glad I stumbled across this place and decided to try it. I'll definitely be back again when I'm in the area. Honestly, they need to open one in Hemet because we don't have anything like this out here.

    Cookies and cream shake! Delicious!

    To be honest.. I was next door about to order fast food and it was gonna run me $20 for just me so…read moreI walked over here to Fire Rock Burgers.. It was what I expected for a $20 Burger.. It was good... I ordered the whisky in the jar burger with fries and an Ice tea.. It was a decent burger.. The toppings were tasty, the burger patty itself was a struggle for flavor.. The fries where piping hot and crispy. The fries were actually really good.. They had a nice coating and crisp to them.. I also had an ice tea (brewed ice tea) and it was refreshing for a hot day.. I was in there early for lunch so there wasn't very many people inside.. My server was very friendly and attentive.. The restaurant was clean and the restrooms were as well.. Would I come back? Yes.. The prices were reasonable especially when food in the same parking lot is somewhat close in price, go to fire rock and enjoy the ambiance..

    What a terrible first experience at this place. We were here to look at a new home so decided to…read morestop here for a bite to eat before we see our possible new future home. I stood inside for 4-5 minutes without seeing anyone that worked there. So I went to the side of the kitchen where there was a door and saw someone in there. I peaked inside and said hello, and this female staff member lost her marbles and basically said how unacceptable it was that I did that and basically chased me out of the restaurant. I only did that because we had my 83 year old handicap grandfather and our small dog with us on a hot day so I was hoping to just get some water for both of them. Instead she continued to have the worst attitude I ever experienced from a restaurant staff member. To the owners, I highly recommend you watch tape of her attitude towards me, and watch my poor grandfather have to hobble out of your establishment due to your terrible employee. She claimed to be the only one working so it should be easy to figure out who she is, she didn't have a name tag on. She should be fired. We were there today, which is 6-1-26 at 11:40am if you have any aspiration to better your business, I encourage you to watch camera footage of her terrible attitude towards your customers. We'll never be back but you should honestly fire her.

The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right with fresh toppings on a soft bun. The fried zucchini is a standout--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served hot, making it the perfect side. The family value meal is an excellent deal, offering generous portions that easily feeds 4 adults without breaking the budget. It's a great option for families or anyone looking for quality food at a fair price. Included in the family meal is four burgers and four fries but for a $2.99 upcharge you could replace a fry with either zucchini or chili cheese fries. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and hearty portions make this a place worth visiting again.

    Really tasty breakfast! Be prepared for a Big Burrito…read more I had the chorizo and egg breakfast burrito. This is packed with chorizo, eggs, hashbrowns and cheese (lots of cheese). The chorizo has a lot of flavor and the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. I also had a caramel iced-coffee. Wasn't a fan. It was coffee on ice, not coffee cooled in the refrigerator prior. It was just ok. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was your traditional non-chain burger joint. Big menu in the front where you order (lots of selections), nice tables and booths to sit and eat.
