This is a pretty good burger spot in the area if you want a quick bite. Had my burger goddess style minus buns and ordered the brussel sprouts. Brussels sprouts needed to be cooked a bit more. Daughter loved her double patty truffle burger. read more

I have visited this Smashburger a few times in the past 6 months and noticed each time that they have noticeably improved in quality since a few years ago Then I saw them on the "King Schratz" influencer video and he spoke very highly of Smashburger and their improvements as well. I visited again this week and everything was very good. Top quality. BETTER and CHEAPER than 5 guys and Shake shack. If you're in the area and want a burger definitely check out the Smashburger! read more

Decent burger. Not so decent price. Customer service was amazing. However i was not impressed with the price or the actual burger itself the presentation was very lazy. Felt like they just slapped a burger on a bun. read more

This Smashburgers location always has consistently excellent hamburgers. I had the Double Bacon Stack Smash. It was hot, fresh and delicious. When the young lady handed to me my SmashBurger, it was picture-perfectly delicious. I can tell whoever cooked my order has attention to detail and they do take pride in their work. The bacon was not crispy which is exactly the way I like it. read more

Smashburger - Double Bacon Stack Smash burger - Burgers Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Arrived here on a weeknight when it was empty outside of a few people here. Hadn't been to a Smashburger in ages, so was really curious what to eat on the menu. I then remembered that black bean patties could be replaced for most of the items, but I decided to simply stick with the classic black bean burger as the other menu items didn't seem too enticing or price economical for the splurge. What we did splurge on - instead - were some sweet potato fries. I thoroughly enjoyed those and would get them again. The black bean burgers itself were pretty decent. The smash sauce also hit. I may end up trying it on another burger next time, whenever that is. read more

Smashburger - Black bean burger + sweet potato fries (shared portion!) - Burgers Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Came here for lunch during the national cheeseburger day where they had deals on their burgers. The place is fairly big and has plenty of seating and is clean. I placed my order online and when I arrived the food was ready. I ordered their regular burger and smash fries. The burger was actually pretty good. It probably was cooked well done but it still was juicy enough for me It's decent size, cooked well, nice toppings, and the bun was good. The fries were well seasoned and tasted good. But, for me, the texture was slightly off. It wasn't bad but just wasn't something I was particularly fond of. For a fast casual place, this isn't a bad option. It might not be my favorite burger spot but it's worth checking out. read more

Let's get real, ever since the McDonald brothers started mass producing hamburgers for a nickel in 1948, countless franchise burgermeisters have attempted to improve on the formula and drive Mayor McCheese from office. Welcome to the Age of the Artisanal Burger where new age purveyors like Five Guys and Smashburger promise you handcrafted, bespoke burgers and accoutrements... for a price. Until recently I had never been to Smashburger and I can't say that I didn't enjoy it but you know what, it's an expensive hamburger that is slightly above average. I wasn't blown away and considering I dropped nearly $20 on a double cheeseburger, fries and a small soft drink I'd consider the entire meal a moderate to poor value and the place, far grungier than I expected. Against all that, I'm left wondering who the real Hamburgler calls boss. One and done. read more

I 100% feel that I've reviewed this place before and have distinct memories of taking pictures here. It's tough because you want to gobble it up right away. Oh well. I ate here the other day. A good quick burger and you can actually sit there. I would not advise lingering during these times. But it's nice to not have to eat in the car and now the cold. I believe the prices here are just slightly better than the one at the Menlo Park mall. The burgers seem bigger too. It's on the far left of the strip mall, the one with Michael's and Trader Joe's. read more

I love this place. They are consistently lovely. Polite and friendly and they get the order right every time. They are very kind to my 21 year old daughter with special needs. The place is clean too. I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts. The Cobb salad rocks. read more

Smashburger is just ok in the realm of fast casual burger joints. The overall quality of burger and fries was not on my favorites list. They serve shoestring fries and by the time we got them they were cold and soggy. The burger patty is on the thin side but I did enjoy the chipotle style toppings. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts and smash tots. Both were just ok bordering on the greasy side. I am going to think twice before coming back. read more

Smashing! YEAHHH !!! Definitely better than the one that has wine in the name. I won't name any names! ;-) Burgers are bloody delicious !! Jalapeños are fresh not pickled! And..annnnd, rosemary / garlic fries are fantastic! I don't fries as much, but this I would hands down. I thought chipotle bun option was a nice touch! Honestly- When you're in a burger mood, give this place a whirl! It is great! Ok....That's all I got! Not as epic, but I did say burgers are delicious! Peace, read more

I always find Smashburger to be on the greasier side. The floor here has a layer of grease, get ready to slide around. But what has me coming here once or twice a year is their Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger with Egg. I'm not a huge burger fan but throw these two ingredients on top and I almost forget that I'm eating one. I only come here for this along with their delicious SmashFries so I can't comment on their other items. The meat is juicy and the bun is nice and soft. I've also had their Brussels sprouts and I found it awfully greasy. I didn't feel healthy eating them. Service here comes without a smile. After placing your order, they will give you a number to take to your table. One of the workers will come and bring your food to you. That also comes without a smile. Still, I give an enthusiastic THANK YOU!! Cause you know, I'm nice. I favor the Smashburger at the East Brunswick location more. Much friendlier service and the floor is much cleaner. read more

This location was very understaffed. Only one person in front to take orders and the money. The same person also packs and hands out all the take out orders, and answers the phone and takes phone orders....no wonder no one answered when I tried to call. No friendly greeting or faces on my visit. No one in the dining area cleaning tables. No napkins came with the food, and no napkins in stock in the beverage area. It was a chore to order, the print on the overhead sign is very small, and the cashier was not into giving options when ordering. I ended up with cheese on my single create your own burger, even though it was not requested. The dining area was not well lit and just not a friendly atmosphere to enjoy a meal. I don't think this location is doing so well. read more

The service was exceptional and the guy was super polite and attentive to customers coming in. Food preparation was also done extremely well. read more

Slow crew that didn't seem like they've ever wanted to be there. The young man at the register wasn't rude, which made him the nicest person there. There was a small mixup during the initial order, but the receipt was correct, so I didn't worry. After returning from the bathroom, they had brought three of the orders, but not two of the fries and one of the burgers. No problem; we still have a table number so it should be coming out soon. Then, the other employee walked a burger and fries, and another basket of fries, past our table and to the table that ordered after us and announced the name of my burger to the guy who received it. I let that one go, because two baskets came up right after that. When those also went to the party after us, I had to walk up to her and show her the receipt. Everyone seemed perplexed. She also didn't say "sorry" or "I'll get right on that," she just walked back towards the kitchen. After another long wait, and baskets going to the party two-orders behind us, they finally brought two orders of fries. The employee didn't say a word. I had to ask to make sure the burger was still coming... Because... You know. After another wait, and the server bringing more baskets to a different table, we received the last burger. Again, not a word. No apologies or explanations. At least McDonald's workers seem successfully trained to pretend they give a crap. I wanted to add a star for the food at least being reasonably priced to their competitors and the fact that they have organic apple juice for kids, but since I can't leave a zero-star review, one star will suffice. Never coming back. read more

In the ever increasing world of burger chains, SmashBurger has entered the ring. I have been to many of the rest, but until now have I missed the best? Well, no not exactly. They serve up a decent burger, with a patty that is more on the thin side, as opposed to Zin Burger, Bobby's Burger Palace, etc. The fries are also of the thin breed and reminded me of a better version of McDonald's fries. The staff is friendly, the food is made to order, and the restaurant is clean. The lack of stars come from the prices. Although the burger was good, I feel like you can get the same quality at Wendy's for a fraction of the price. I also got the "Big Smash" burger with fries and didn't exactly feel full after finishing. For nearly $10, there are many other burger chains that I would come back to before returning to Smash. I will go as far as saying, that this isn't a bad place if you are trying to watch "how much" you eat. Otherwise, don't expect a great bang for your buck. read more

The Wife Loves the place, me not so much. She usually has a classic, I went for a beef burger and a turkey burger, fixings varied. We also had orders of tater tots and sweet potato fries. The tots and fries were limp and uninspired. Instead of getting a turkey burger, both my burgers were beef. Meat quality is above your average fast food fare but, for the cost, nothing extraordinary. On the positive, we both like the char associated with the "smash" technic and the range of condiments make for some interesting taste experiences. We will still patronize the joint and suggest you judge for yourself. read more

I came to this specific smash burger before when they first opened, and the staff was amazing. But as for today this being my 2nd time coming here I was hoping to get the same friendly greeting. For the young lady who took my order, she was the only one who seemed to have some kind of emotion and took care of me. For those who are working in the back of the house seemed to be a little rude and upset with my order. I over heard 2 of the guys complain, "Yo, she had to order the whole damn menu." I mean, if you don't want to make my food, then why are you working there? read more

I love this place. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. It is a fast food joint but the atmosphere feel like a restaurant. The smash fries are to die for and the portions are perfect and don't make you feel like you have a rock in your stomach afterwards. I love this place. read more

I ordered from the online menu for the harvest salad. I ordered it without the cheese. It was supposed to include raisins, dried cranberries, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Got the salad with no nuts or cranberries, so I called and was told they don't sell the salad with those anymore. So I got a bowl of mixed greens with 3 slices of horrible winter tomato for $7.09. It was about 6 mouthfuls and gone. Wow, that's some huge food markup!! Mark this location off my list. read more

Stopped by for a burger, fries, and a milkshake. The burger was so over-salted as to make it absolutely inedible -- took two bites and felt sick to my stomach. The fries were ok, but the chocolate milkshake was 99% milk and 1% chocolate. Mentioned it to the manager, who said the recipe calls for one pump of chocolate. He added several more pumps, but it was still more of a vanilla than a chocolate milkshake. I'm giving two stars only because this is the first time I've had a bad experience here. read more

Juicy and tasty burgers in a quick and casual setting! Food: clearly they have bona-fide chefs designing the recipes. The burger itself was great .... well-balanced seasonings, a great texture, and hints of a smokey or charred taste. Even the buns were more tasty than you'd expect. As-good, or better, than gourmet burgers from a traditional waiter-service restaurant. Layout: order at the front, grab a seat, and they bring the food to you in about 5 minutes. Atmosphere: quick, casual, and full of energy. There are lots of very comfortable red booths, but they also have some of those high-seats along the window. Very stylish interior design. The music is appropriate for the restaurant ... lively and energetic stuff that you'd hear on the radio. Price: about $11.50 for a burger, fries, and fountain soda. read more

Smashburger - SmashFries and a SmashBurger ! - Burgers Near Me - North Brunswick, New Jersey

Best "fast food" burger around without question. Those "smashed fresh" commercials aren't kidding. You can taste the difference. Everything is freshly prepared and it comes out hot and delicious. I'm sure their other burgers are great but I almost always get the NJ burger. The smashfries and haystack onions (basically very thin fried onion straws) are excellent. A burger, fries, and a drink will run you back about $14, but therr are ALWAYS coupons online so do yourself the favor and check. The place is always clean despite high traffic and the staff are friendly. I have tried two other Smashburger locations. While good they simply didnt compare to the quality of North Brunswick. read more

Came on a Sunday night at 5 and the place seemed under staffed with one cook, one runner and one taking the orders. Employee at the register was on his phone and made it seem like a chore when someone came I place an order. The issue was when the burger arrived. I took one bite and the burger was PINK. I brought the burger up to the front and the runner made a new one which was much better. Additionally, he gave me a coupon for a free entree during my next visit. Because of his customer service, I will return. read more

I've been here twice and I'm sure I'll come here again!! I usually have a sweet or salty tooth but sometimes I have the Unami/savory tooth for meat! I came here and I was not one but disappointed! The first time I ordered the truffles mushroom burger with smash fries and the second time i got a bacon cheeseburger with regular fries! The meat of the burger was so juicy and tender! It seemed very fresh!! And they claim that they cook each burger upon each order!! Yum! The fries are thinly cut and crispy! The smash fries had some seasonings and scallions, which was very good, but I prefer the regular one because I like the ketchup with plain crispy fries! Upon ordering, we get a numbered sign and the bring the food to us. Then another person comes by later to collect the sign and check on us! Good service! read more

In the last two months the service at this location has really deteriorated. I've visited this location three times, and each time it's been a huge hassle either to place an order, or get what you ordered. First, note that this location now refuses to take paper Smashburger coupons (in spite of the fact that weekly their corporate HQ keeps emailing them to me). Now they are promoting a couponless $4 triple-double burger. However, today when I visited and tried to order this burger, I was told by both the manager and the cashier that they won't allow you to customize the toppings. The manager explained, "This is now our signature burger. It's just too confusing for our cook staff to make it custom." She said this with a straight face. Really? One can go to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Five Guys -- pretty much anywhere --- and find a kitchen that isn't stymied by a request "to hold the pickles and the lettuce." But at North Brunswick Smashburger, they admit it's too much for them to manage. I informed the manager I could go across the road and get whatever I wanted on a burger at Five Guys. She didn't seem to mind. So I did. As I left this Smashburger, I noticed that there was only a single customer in the place. Seriously, this place needs one of those Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare interventions. The management simply doesn't know how to run the place. read more

I ordered through Uber eats & the restaurant got it wrong, shorting me on 2 items. I called the restaurant & was told to come in for a refund. when I arrived the manager told me that I was given incorrect information & that they were unable to give me a refund or complete the order per " Grub Hub" policy (not the service I ordered through). When I pushed the issue the manager became belligerent & threatened to call the police. Totally unprofessional behavior for a manager representing their company. If I could post a minus 100 review I would do so. Completely unacceptable behavior. read more

This is a so so place. The food is pricey for what they offer. You don't have a choice with the temperature of your burger. Another thing their regular and big burgers are small. I ordered the "big" and got a burger the size of a McDouble burger. Not really full after the burger so had to buy something else. Their fries are okay! But nothing here popped or was out of the ordinary. Actually everything was below average. We should have went to a real burger place. Now I never said it is bad. I just think for what they charge, offer, and the quality of food. We can find a better place to eat. Their shakes are decent. Not great, but not bad. The tables were not clean and I had to clean my own table. It's 2:20pm on a Sunday and its a mess and barely any customers. See for yourselves but my advice is we can all do better. read more

I am in town on business, having driven down from Boston; staying at a nearby hotel, I wandered into the strip mall containing SmashBurgers - my first time ever eating at this chain. My expectations were ah, so-so, having eaten at burger joints all over this country. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the service and the food, so much so that not only did I order takeout last night, but I returned tonight, getting different items each trip. First off, signage was good; I've seen fast food places like this before: an order aisle where you pick up a menu & review it while waiting in line to order. Simple selection of burgers, some chicken sandwiches, salads & sides. The woman who took my order (same person both nights) was pleasant, articulate & efficient. Once the orders were taken, I never had to wait more than 5-6 minutes for it to arrive. Now, onto the food: last night, I got the New Jersey burger, sweet potato fries & veggie frites. The burger was super juicy & tasty, with a bit of crunch from the fried onions. Much better than I expected. Fries were also good - not dry nor too spicy. And even the string beans & carrot slices were decent - bit oily, but I felt that added to the flavor. Tonight I had the classic SmashBurger, a Cobb salad, plus the haystack onions. Loved those onions, crispy & full of flavor. Burger was good, but not as tasty as the Jersey one. Salad was better than expected - more than just salad greens, with a fried egg & good portion of real fried bacon. I ate every bit. This place is definitely on my "must return to" list for future travels in NJ. read more

Went in for lunch ordered a burger and shake. After 10 minutes they bring me just a burger, i ask for my shake which they reply is coming right out. Runner disappears. ...30 minutes later of staring at a wall... I get my shake and i can now begin eating my now ice cold burger that has been sitting in front of me for the last half an hour. What is with this splitting up the order stuff? You wait till the order is complete before delivering it to the customer, that's like "How to Make Food for Profit 101". Other than that, 5 guys blows this place away in every category, especially competence in running a restaurant. Everything tastes like rosemary at Smashburger. Its gross. Don't go there. read more
