SMASHFRIES®
Wing L.

This location has seating and a bar on the second level. There is an elevator in the back for those that can't climb the stairs. The staffs are friendly and service is fast. We waited about 10 minutes for our food. I think it's fast since there were an about 8-9 people ahead of us. We got a chili, All American smash, Colorado smash, and fries. The All American smash and fries was good. The chili is a little bland and the portion is small. The Colorado smash was very oily and it's missing the kick even though it has green chiles.

Classic smash with bacon
Jennifer D.

Most excellent smash style angus burger with fresh toppings on a soft butter toasted bun. Good ratio of meat, toppings, bun. The fries are shoe string cut and tossed in rosemary garlic olive oil, really tasty. If you're in the mood for a good smash burger they do them right.

Love smashburgers! I had the truffle mushroom burger with the smash fries. I also had the peanut butter shake compliments of smashburger for my birthday! That was an exciting reward! They also offer 15% off to students and staff since they're right by Hunter. I'm surprised it wasn't busy when I went there. Definitely enjoyed my food!

BACON SMASH CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH
Christine N.

First Impressions - N/A, ordered for delivery to work The Noms - Classic smash burger - last night I was craving a burger and ordered the classic smash.. it was satisfying and the perfect size. Burger was juicy and it was the right amount of sauce. Fries were good too. The next day for lunch I was craving chicken so I ordered the bacon avocado smash crispy chicken burger. I was disappointed in this one because the chicken was too dry. No flavor but too salty. Fries were good, just like yesterday. In Conclusion - I would still order from here, but only the burgers, definitely going to avoid any of the chicken sandwiches. You should too.

SPICY JALAPEO SMASH x CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Zenda D.

Let's start with the smash burger itself juicy, perfectly seasoned, and that crispy sear on the patty? Chef's kiss! I went for the classic with melted cheddar, but the real MVP? The secret sauce creamy, tangy dream that tied everything together. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of messy (in the best way possible, of course)! I can't forget about the sweet crispy Brussels sprouts either. Tossed in some kind of magical glaze, they were crispy on the outside with a perfect caramelized sweetness on the inside delicious doesn't even cover it. Who knew Brussels sprouts could steal the show?! The cherry on top was their happy hour cocktails. I tried their signature coconut mule and it was a burst of refreshing flavors think tropical vibes in a glass. Super light but with just enough kick to complement the meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal

I didn't want to get customers faces, but these are just a couple of the tables that were dirty.

Every time I come to this Smashburger, 1925 Turnbull Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473, I notice the same issue: long lines at the register with no cashier present, and tickets piling up (usually 5-6 waiting at a time). Customers end up waiting far longer than they should, and it feels like there's no real system in place to manage the flow. Whether it's more cashiers, more kitchen staff, or stronger leadership on shift, something needs to change for the efficiency and experience of customers. Today's visit went from frustrating to concerning. I witnessed the employee handling food also working the register--constantly switching back and forth--which already slows things down. On top of that, there was a major cleanliness issue: A customer saw an employee wipe sweat with his hands, keep the same gloves on, and continue touching food and surfaces. She spoke up, asking him to wash his hands and change gloves. While her tone may have come across as urgent, I agree with her 100%. That is not a big ask--it's basic food safety. Instead of properly washing his hands, the employee only swapped gloves. What makes this worse is the lack of visible management. I've never seen anyone step in who looks like a manager to set a standard or resolve issues. Leadership presence is absolutely needed here. On top of that, the restaurant itself is often dirty, and the bathroom's changing table constantly drops open, leaving the door stuck--another clear sign that basic upkeep is being neglected. It would be an injustice to this community if Smashburger leadership chose not to invest in this location. Poor service and questionable food safety give the impression that customers here are not valued. If T-Mobile can invest in making their nearby store a true "customer experience" center, Smashburger can (and should) take that same approach here. This restaurant--and the people it serves--deserve better.

Outdoor seating-pleasant. If tables are dirty, ask staff INSIDE to please wipe down table. I did. First time here.

My first visit to SMASHBURGER, and WOW!! THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!! I really wasn't expecting it to be this good, but it really is excellent!! I ordered the CLASSIC DOUBLE SMASH, and REGULAR FRIES-YUMMY!! I ENJOYED EVERY MORSAL OF EVERYTHING! LOL PERFECT SHOESTRING FRIES!! REALLY DELISH!!! Just the way I like them. Crispy on the outside, and yummy on the inside. THE CLASSIC DOUBLE SMASH--WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS!! Mmm, comes with green shredded lettuce, fresh slices of tomato, American cheese, pickle slices, and you can help yourself to condiments at the condiments station, near the sodas and napkins. I recommend a fork for when some of the lettuce or tomatoes need a little redirecting as you eat your burger. DELICIOUS burger and fries, and I'll be back, for sure!! Respectfully suggesting- remember to keep an eye on the outdoor tables, to wipe them down as needed. And, do not hesitate to tell a first time customer that THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD! :). When I ordered, I said that it was my first time here, and I even asked a couple of questions, and I appreciated the quick answers, including, consulting with a colleague in order to get an answer. NICE!! But if you had told me the food is great, I would have had a little bit more peace of mind. I wasn't sure what to expect. The Yelp reviews were very good, but I did not feel any enthusiasm from the staff, in terms of liking the food.... Sometimes that can really be nice to hear. OVERALL-GREAT FOOD!!! Nice staff.

AVOCADO BACON CLUB BURGER
Rob M.

I am literally salivating as I attempt to write this review. I went big, snagging an avocado bacon burger, fries, onion rings, and an oreo milkshake. Three days later, my taste buds are still singing. That meal taught me more about self-love than thousands of dollars worth of therapy (to be fair, that's like two sessions, but still). The avocado bacon burger is every bit as luscious as it sounds. It's velvety avocado tangoing with smoky bacon on a gleaming parquet of beef and oozy cheese. How could you not learn something about love from it? The shoestring fries and onomatopoeia-worthy CRUNCHY onion rings served as perfectly balanced textural and flavorful compliments, at some points threatening to steal the show. The oreo milkshake, meanwhile, is basically liquid dopamine. But with oreo chunks at the bottom that you have to eat with a spoon. Absolutely sensational. Also, since this is a review, I should add that the upstairs is cool. There's a good amount of seating and lots of sun. I sat by the window where I could watch pedestrians scurry around with yoga mats on their backs while I housed truffle fries. I would be lying if I said that didn't make them taste even better.

Mushroom truffle burger and sprouts
Lien L.

New Smashburger in UES and it has a unique space. You order food on the first floor and if you would like seating they have a larger space on the second with a bar. Very friendly for families since there's an elevator. I ordered a truffle burger and brussel sprouts and it was very tasty and loaded with lots of mushrooms. Sprouts were nice and crispy and not greasy. Strawberry shake was not as thick as I would like but it was still tasty. The only thing I can knock them for is that there's really no one upstairs so if you need extra supplies like condiments you have to go all the way back downstairs. Plus the bar just kinda looks out of place and there were a few flies just buzzing around so that needs to be addressed. Overall would go there again if in need a quick bite.

Deborah L.

Hmmm health violations? I wasn't aware of that before going there. The burger was not so smashed nor very good, tasted very fast food for the price. The place was busy though so it might be tasty to others. Service wasn't great. Won't go back.

Inside (upstairs more seating + bar)
Polly H.

I enjoyed my meal here. I was just in the mood for something greasy and so I found myself trying something new. I also ordered a regular size order for french fries which were alright. It was clean inside and not particularly packed on a Friday night, and I found the the staff was helpful. I think I waited about fifteen to twenty minutes for my food, so it's not fast, because there's lots of to-go orders. I just can't believe that there is bar on the 2nd floor. Cool surprise. There's standing spot to eat downstairs and also more seating upstairs. I might revisit.

OREO COOKIES & CREAM SHAKE
Anthony P.

On the lookout for the best smash burger in NYC and unfortunately it wasn't here. For almost $20 a burger, it wasn't melt in your mouth, and the fries were a bit cold. The location is great for coming to just enjoy some bar food, watch a game, however. It's large and the service was good enough. The shake was also a bit watery.

Brisket burger
Jing K.

Quick and attentive service in a very clean and spacious setting with apple seating on the second floor. Ordered a double mushroom burger with a side of brussel sprouts that was packed with nicely sauteed mushrooms and crisply fried brussel sprouts on a very juicy burger. Brisket burger was moist and smoky. Kids meal was a very nice size.

The food is OK, but 20 minutes for one burger? I could've opened a franchise of my own in the time it took for them to make one sandwich.

My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with 2 mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but the idea of returning feels less like reclaiming an old life than dipping a toe into a world I no longer need to inhabit. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a handsome room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was polished, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.
