Back for another stop on my smash burger tour--this time at Smack Burgers, a hidden gem tucked away in the cut. I finally had some time to sit down and enjoy a proper smash burger, and they absolutely delivered. Each burger comes as a double patty with its own unique twist. I went with the Hellapeño Burger and a side of waffle fries--and honestly, it was bittersweet finishing it because it was that good. The burger was perfectly smashed, packed with flavor, and loaded with toppings. The addition of two onion rings on the burger balanced the heat from the jalapeños and Mike's Hot Sauce really well. The waffle fries were top-tier--crispy with a golden finish, and honestly better than Chick-fil-A's. Service was quick too; I got my food fast without the long wait I've experienced at other spots. We dined in, and the setup was solid--plenty of seating, including bar-top options. The yellow and black design brightens the space, and with all the windows and open doors, it's a great place to enjoy the California weather while you eat. My only gripe (and it's not their fault) was that the ice cream machine wasn't ready for shakes since we got there right at opening. But honestly, that just gives me a reason to come back. If you're into smash burgers, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

We visited on March 5th around 5pm for our first time and had a great experience. Matthew helped us out and was super friendly, great customer service. The place itself is really nice, with plenty of seating and lots of parking, which is always a plus in LA. We ordered the Hellapeño, Big Smack, and a side of waffle fries. Everything was delicious. Prices are decent, and they also have a great selection of sauces to choose from. Definitely recommend this spot and we'll for sure be coming back! read more

Absolutely delicious! I had just finished a strenuous hike and was craving some food. So of course I go for a healthy option... smash burgers! Its my first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. Its on a busy street but luckily there is a parking lot to use! The menu is so straightforward and easy to read. Its simple but perfect. I really enjoyed my hellapeño burger. It came with 2 patties, bacon, fresh crisp crunchy onion rings and jalapeños. It also comes with a side on the side that's delicious. I think the inside is decorated nicely and lots of seating options. The person taking your order is not unfriendly, just takes your order and not much else. I will definitely be back and bring more people. I highly recommend! read more

Never thought much about this place driving by until I found myself at the fire station next door and decided to stop in for lunch. So glad that I did. The BBQ bacon burger was excellent and the waffle fries crispy and delicious. read more

Stopped by randomly cause I always see this place on my way home from work. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The 2 burgers I had were amazing. Got my burgers quick, place also had a big parking lot easy to get in and out. Would recommend. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

**Review for food truck in Bay Area** The patty is so juicy and delicious! We tried the: Big Smack, Baydestrian, Bacon Smeeze and the loaded fries (totally beats animal fries at In N Out). I can say the best one for me was the Baydestrian, but man the smack sauce and boy, it completed the burger. That sauce was SMACKIN'. The guys helping out in the food truck were friendly, fast, and attentive. This was parked outside of a brewery so what better way to get burgers and beers?! Because it was parked in the (back) parking lot of the brewery, I thought it was a sociable environment welcoming dogs, kids and laughter. read more

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. read more

You know the food is good when you start feeling sleepy After getting my dog trained me and my man we're hungry and our first option is always a burger. So we wanted to get something closer to home and I was like smack burger, we seen it on tik tok and always drive by so why not give the restaurant a try. My boyfriend went inside and ordered literally didn't even take 20 minutes. Boyfriend walked out with a greasy bag. I was a little hesitant only because I haven't had waffle fries since Chick-fil-A and I stopped eating Chick-fil-A because it was trash so this was the first time me eating waffle fries in a very long time but I was open to it.. anyways got our order and we ate a french fry in the car and it tasted so damn good. Came home immediately started eating burger amazing. I got the bacon sneeze and my bf got burger as well idk the name, but it was fire. Definitely coming back read more

Trying out this spot for lunch! It was good. We went for a 24 mile bike ride and we were hangry by the end of it. He wanted a burger, and I wanted to try something new...voila! I got the plain Jane because...that's my style. It was so good. Smash burger style patties. Great bun and cheese. Chris got the big smack and was happy too! We split the seasoned waffle fries! The drinks were...okay. Not a lot of ice, it seemed like maybe something was broken. Price was a okay, maybe a little steep but $18 is pretty typical these days. It was a great experience, just one thing that made it 4 stars...no bathroom to wash our hands before eating. The employee was kind and wet some napkins for us though. We will be back read more

The burger was the truth cooked really well lots of flavor. The waffle fries were nice and crunchy, not burnt or salty. Both the burger and fries also tasted good with that smack sauce the truth. Lastly the strawberry lemonade was good wasn't too sweet. This spot is definitely worth the try and it's not that expensive and not a long wait which is good. read more

We stopped at this place to give it a try, but did not realize how expensive they were. After debating we decided to give them a try. One of the reasons is the cashier (girl) was so friendly and helpful explaining the menu to us. After ordering the food it came fairly quick, one of the burgers was ordered with no cheese but they made a mistake. not only did the cook stand behind the mistake and made another burger, but he also gave us the mistake burger at no charge. Hands down they may be a little on the expensive side, but their burgers are so good and worth it. The service was excellent; I crave good service so hands down we will definitely be going back again. read more

Ordered the Big Smack with a Snack Box (combo including Beef Tallow Fries and a Drink) and a side of Onion Rings. Their Big Smack burger comes with 2 flattened patties, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and smack sauce. This burger was a bit more salty around the edges but had an alright amount of cheese and pickles spread on top. Aside from the flat patties, there is not much that stands out especially at the price offered. The beef tallow fries were cut waffle style and were pleasant to eat, a touch more enjoyable than the burger. The fries also came with a thousand island dressing and there were ranch and barbecue sauce options too. The Onion Rings were chunky onion rings that had a nice crunch to them. This place is located directly on a high traffic street but fortunately there are convenient vehicle entrances to the adequately sized parking lot. The staff were very nice and courteous. There is a roof above the ordering and eating area, there are no seats but there is standing space by the counter tables against the walls facing the street. read more
