    Burgers are smacking! Food was made in a timely manner. The guys working that day were friendly. We were given house sauce and ranch. The ranch is delicious! The exit out of the parking lot could be a bit challenging.

    Breakfast burrito with avocado and bacon! So good

    Best breakfast burrito in the Bay without a doubt! They really made sure it was as quality as their smash burgers which are always a hit and always SMACKIN. Point me to a better breakfast burrito and I will promptly call you a liar, sorry not sorry! Shoutout to them for doing business in the heart of downtown San Leandro!

    Hellapeńo Burger

    This place has some pretty good smash burgers. I tried the Hellapeńo Burger. It was a double with onion rings and jalapeños. It also has hot honey. Which made the burger a bit sweet, but it works. Sweet and saver is a great combo. I also tried their version of " animal style fries" However, this one comes with a burger patty. So if you don't feel like getting too much bread, you could just get the fries. Put the patty on top and you're good to go. It has grilled onions, and their special sauce. You can't go wrong with that. Everything was really tasty. I am definitely coming back. The service was good. Took our order and our food came out pretty quick. There's plenty of seating. You could either sit on a table or like a bar table.

    The happy hour is such a good deal. $10 for any burger and fries. The fries are actually good. Usually waffles fries are trash, but theirs are crispy. The burger is solid, too. But it's a little... dare I say... over seasoned lol. Whatever seasoning blend they use, they were heavy handed with it so I thought it was a bit salty. I tried the smack sauce and ranch. Definitely get the smack sauce (their house made burger sauce). I think the regular prices are kind of high; there are other good smash burger spots with a similar concept and better prices. But I'll likely be back for happy hour again.

    2 bacon Smeeze burgers. Waffle fries.

    Ok today we were hunting for something new. We failed on two other joints but found this little gem in the rough. First off parking is easy. Second go during happy hour. Any burger and waffle fries for $10.00. (2/27/2025) add a coke of course. Total bill for two was like 25... a bargain. The burgers and the fries were served piping HOT. The Smeeze bacon burger is a double (2X 1/3 lbs patties) Cheese onions bacon bbq sauce. Onions yes lots of em. The waffle fries are crispy and tasty. Our food was delivered fairly fast but the extra piping hot fries and burger were worth the extra moment of waiting. Service was good and provided by people happy to be there! Both of us really enjoyed our burgers and fries. We like this joint but think it could use a little more decor to liven it up a bit. I went back again with another person and we had a very good experience. This really is a very accessible (for now) burger in LA's sea of tacos Smack is a breath of fresh air. This is a solid burger joint in Korea town.

    Hellapeno Box

    Very clean, nice resturant, and friendly customer service. Ordered the Hellapeno Box smash burger - double cheese patty, onion rings, bacon, bbq sauce, grilled onions, and there secret sauce. Very tasty burger smash burger. Love it that comes with waffle fries a little different than all other smash burger spots. For sure I'll come back if in the area.

    Wanted a burger and it was solid. I'd rather spend money here than in n out. I only tried the baydestrian and it was really yummy! Maybe a little steep on the price compared to in n out but its okay once in a while. They do have a little parking lot which is nice. High traffic area tho so keep that in mind . I would come again with more people to try more things .

    The burgers here are absolutely delicious! I'm obsessed with their fries as well, so good! Everything is well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It service was friendly, they are efficient and hard-working. The prices are worth it as the portions are large, filling and satisfying. The food was made to order quickly and they have plenty of easy parking as well as indoor seating. Great option if you're looking for a delicious burger in the area! Highly recommended!

    Smack Burgers opened last year and recently got the chance to try it. The interior decor is pretty cool with the black and yellow theme. They have two entrances leaving both wide open. Problem with this is that, with the recent LA fires, I'm not sure if it was ashes or dust but it was accumulating a bit on the countertops. They have no TV's so you can't watch a game while chowing down. Food: The menu is really simple. Every burger has 2 smash patties. I got the Bacon Smeeze which is like a BBQ Burger. The burger was okay. It lacked BBQ sauce it barely had BBQ sauce on the burger. The waffle fries are seasoned and they tasted good. Very similar to Carl's Jr Crisscut Fries. Overall: Nothing special or nothing stands out to me at Smack Burgers. Kind of disappointed since I was excited to try with my friend who lives down the block. The Bacon Smeeze box combo (fries + soft drink) comes out to $21.35. I'm not quite sure if the meal was worth $21. There are better tasting options out there for even cheaper prices. I didn't see any promos for happy hour so I'm not sure if they still have that promo. Most likely won't come back unless the happy hour exists and I'll try a different burger to give it a second shot.

    Unexpectedly came across this place as my fiance and I were driving to a different burger place. We decided to try this spot to try something new and I'm happy we did. The service was very nice and the place is basically a cute little burger joint. We luckily came during happy hour so prices were very good and we spent way less than we expected. The food was also bomb. The trench fries were amazing. They were seasoned perfectly, and the burger sauce they gave me on the side was perfect to dunk them in. The burgers were also delicious. My fiance got they plain Jane and he said the patties were seasoned perfectly. Even though it was out of the way, we definitely will be back.

    If you're a smash burger fan, this spot is a must-try! The patties are cooked to perfection with those crispy edges and packed with flavor. I had the Big Smack, and it hit every craving juicy, cheesy, tangy from the pickles, and that house smack sauce ties it all together. The Smack Fries are next-level loaded with grilled onions, cheese, and more of that addictive smack sauce. Definitely worth upgrading your side. Prices are super fair for the quality, and you can tell everything is made fresh. Staff was friendly and quick, and the whole vibe here is casual and welcoming. This place absolutely nails the smash burger game can't wait to come back and try the HellaPeño next time!

    Ive been on a burger tear recently, and Smack Burger didn't disappoint. Out of all the smash type burgers I've tried, this one is definitely the best so far. I got the "Baydestrian" Burger, and it was seasoned to perfection. Don't forget to add pickles, because it doesn't come with any. The onion rings and waffles fries are also cooked to perfection. The place is clean, simple menu, and the cashier was super chill.

    Welcoming from the moment I walked in. Doris was great. She told me all about the "Bougie Burgers!" And t's Happy Hour!!! 2-6pm and all burgers include fries!!!! I got the Hellapeña Burger! I loved it! The waffle fries are outstanding. They are crispy and flavorful. Smack Burger definitely smacks your tastebuds!

    Smack Burgers is fire  Burger and fries were perfect, and Mush had amazing customer service. Coming back for sure. ‍

Parking: Street parking was super easy on a Sunday afternoon, I was able to pull up right in front and park on the street. There is a Super A across the street and ample parking around for free. Ambiance & Food: This reminds me of an old school burger stand. Those were the best burgers and this one did not stop that trend. As I walked up, we were warmly greeted and given a quick rundown of what which burger. They did have specials (I will get to that in a second) which we were intrigued, but for the sake of perspective, I ordered the Goldburger and both regular fries and curly fries with a bottle coke. The Goldburger is naturally a double, but my gymrat protein brain added that extra patty. They use a 70% to 30% mixture for their burger which makes the burger oh so decadent. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. The moment you bite into the burger the combination of burger juice, aioli, burnt skirt, all come together in such a harmonious fashion. It was remarkable. Though fries are not one of my strong points, both fries were crispy and I haven't had any other experience with Curly fries other than Jack in the Box, but these were so much better. I went ahead and dipped the fries in some homemade Aioli and dang, what a combo! Back to those specials, the current special is CHILI, I was intrigued so they gave me a small container of it to try. Man, if I wasn't watching my caloric intake, that would have been the move. It was rich and chunky and not to soggy which some always comes. Give it a try as they said it will be around for sometime. Other than burgers, they do have hot dogs as well. So worth trying both next time. To be perfectly honest, this brought back so much nostalgia for me, I used to go to school in the area and this brought a lot of those memories back. Tasty burgers and a must try for sure if your around! Cheers!

I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

Next, you select the accompaniments. With the Amboy, there are caramelized onions, American cheese, sliced pickles, Amboy sauce, and a toasted sesame bun. The beef patty is thick and plump, extra crispy on the edge (maybe slightly too much so). It is a bit too salty on the outside, while needing a bit more seasoning inside. It's medium on the edges, but nice pink and juicy in the center. Also, 10 ounces is huge, you're probably better off with one of the smaller patties or going with a double. The fries are tin and really crispy. They're nice, get them.

That means while I waited over 25 minutes for my order, I had to wait longer for them to see what's in the bag to see the mistake. Who is to say that if I was crooked, I would simply remove the fries from the bag. What this ultimately means is that now my family is eating colder food. I didn't even bother for the fries anymore since I didn't want to either have my food get colder or wait another 20 minutes for them to remake all the food. I simply wouldn't go back. I do hope they stay around because we are losing small business but the owners should really reconsider the policy for missing food.
