Cheesy Bacon Burger, Frisco Melt, Chili Cheese Fries
Meiko W.

Finally made it to Smash'd and I'm mad it took me so long! Hubby and I popped in on a lazy Saturday and it was perfect. Plenty of seating inside and outside, friendly staff and delicious burgers. He ordered the Cheesy Bacon Burger, I got the Frisco Melt and we split a small chili cheese fries. I like how thick their fries are and I can't wait to go back and have some plain. Hubby absolutely loved his burger and the chili fries were great. The bread on my Frisco could've been toasted a bit more as it had no crunch but it was still good. This spot reminds us of one of our favorite spots in San Diego (The Friendly) that we've been missing since moving here. We're about to become regulars!

I don't know how I've missed this place for so long. We were looking for a good place for burgers and yelp suggested this location. We were not disappointed. I had the salmon Smashburger with two patties. The flavors are awesome and it's such a nice change from beef. The fries are crunchy and flavorful. The front desk counter person was very friendly and helped us understand the menu since it was our first visit. This is a great place to hang out with your family and friends. Very comfortable environment. Can't wait for it to warm up just a bit so we can sit on the patio.

Loaded fries..... we share the large order

This is a very unique place to eat. But the burgers are phenomenal. And the loaded fries... omg!! Since discovering this gem we have been back 3 times.

The Original from the Smash'd trailer at the Riley Festival
Christina B.

I've had Smash'd on my list to try for awhile but just haven't made it in yet. But I saw the trailer at the Riley Festival and knew I had to try it since it pretty much came to me. It looked like they had a good variety of burger options from their regular menu on the trailer menu. I went with the original and it was pretty good! I'm not generally a burger person. I ONLY liked them smashed and with lots of toppings. And this burger was that. The burger patty was crispy, the bun was soft, and the toppings were crisp. We got our burgers in about 30 seconds so they had to be pre-prepared. The burger was just warm, not hot, but I'm sure that's just the nature of ordering your burger from a trailer during a busy festival instead of the restaurant. I'll definitely be back to try more!

Single with cheese, regular fries
Cody K.

I may have just found my new favorite local burger. Overall, the quality of the food was excellent. Each item was well-made, hot and fresh. The service was just as good as the food; everything came out quickly, and the staff members were hospitable. That said, things were a bit pricey, especially given the portion sizes. One bit of feedback, they really need to add shoestring fries to the menu. No smashed burger spot is really complete without them.

Double danger
Karla S.

I have been seeing this place on social media and wanted to give it a try. I was able to park on the street and there is more parking available in back. There is outside seating, high top seating or regular seating available. The menu is plentiful and lots of options. I ordered the danger Smash'd burger with a double patty. They have salmon and chicken as protein options as well. Service is nice and fast. Price point is affordable. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

Gluten free burger
Kristin U.

We got takeout from here for a birthday dinner. I had trouble with the lack of allergen menu. I had to hunt to find that yes, they have gluten free buns available. They do have "gluten-friendly" fries as well. They carry a lot of sauces, and I think they're probably what "make" the burgers, but I couldn't find any info on what was in them so couldn't safely order online. I ended up asking for mayo on the side, but it wasn't included in our order. The gluten free bun was burnt, and without a sauce or cheese (which I can't have as I'm medically dairy-free) it was a bit dry. The burger patty itself was good, and the lettuce, pickles, and tomato were too. Fries were okay, but nothing special. So I'd try this again, maybe when I can ask about the sauces or when they get an allergen menu together, but it won't be my first choice for a burger for now. If you are gluten free and dairy free like me, may be hit or miss, but could be worth a visit if you're in Irvington.

For a quick, easy, and delicious burger spot, look no further! On busy nights you may have to circle the block to find street parking but it's worth it. There is patio seating and two rooms of indoor seating. When I walked in I was greeted by two kind and friendly employees who saw the indecisiveness written all over my face and helped me decide on a burger! It was a tough choice because there were so many unique options. I got the PBJ Time burger which was honey roasted peanut butter, Boar's Head bacon, crispy jalapeños, + pepper jack. I order it as a combo so I could get the sweet potato waffle fries and a drink. My friend got ice cream (Dr. Pepper ice cream!) which she so graciously let me try and it was super tasty! Definitely a great place to grab a bit on a nice summer evening.

Aristocrat Burger w/ Hand cut fries
Allison B.

We had been hearing about this place since it opened and I have to say, it absolutely lived up to the hype! The service was so friendly and helpful! This was honestly was the best smashed burger I've ever had. You can tell the food was fresh and the fries were delicious! My only rec is that the food is very filling, so one patty was plenty for myself and my boyfriend got two and that was the right amount for him.

Ethan D.

This is the best smashburger spot in Indy!! There are so many good creative options for burgers and fries! The wait for the food was a bit long but it was well worth every minuten Everything was so good, the lady who took our order upfront was helpful and funny! 10/10 would come again!

When you're walking in Irvington, passing this area really smells strong in a burger sense so it's just hard to resist stopping in. They don't have a designated parking lot, you'll have to find street parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating with separated sections for the bar area and the family friendly area. They have good customer service-- I was getting water and someone offered me a lid for the cup. Water was free. Pricing here is average --a burger cost around nine dollars and more, fries are about four dollars and more. It gets busy on a Thursday afternoon around 7 PM. The theater beside them has open mic night on Thursdays from 7 to 10 that's outside so you can enjoy that while you're eating your meal outside. You can get free refills on soda - they have Pepsi products. The water cup looks different. They have restrooms inside. After you order, you take a number and they bring the food to you. Many people choose to eat outside, especially if they have animals. I got the farmhouse burger that came with bacon and an egg with sweet potato fries and sweet sauce sweet. My husband got the dangerous burger with the cut fries. They place next door plays music so it was a whole vibe. The food was delivered hot, I love that! It didn't take too long either, another plus. Everything was so good. I love smashed burgers, so this is definitely a great spot to keep in mind. I really liked the regular fries but the sweet potato fries are really good too!

Haylee G.

Hands down favorite burger in Indy so far! I'm a sucker for a good smashburger and they hit the nail on the head. I ordered a single burger with lettuce, tomato, bacon on the burger with pickles and their burger sauce on the side. I did visit during the lunch menu and was able to snag a combo for $13. The waffle fries were delicious and the ice cream was delicious. I tried the cappuccino and chip, so so good. Will be back!

Not only do they have Braveheart black Angus beef, but they have salmon chicken and impossible burgers. They have a burger of the month option, they have beer, ice cream and soda. I let them know I can't eat dairy and they gave me a sample of their dole whip selection of the month which is made with coconut oil. Pretty good option, sweet and spur. I ordered a headless horseman with horseradish aoli, onions, shredded lettuce and pickles. Messy but good. Whew that horsey sauce sure cleared up my sinus and burned a little goindown so it's the real deal! (I would have gotten a beer to cool me off but just didn't feel like paying $7 for the one I wanted). I love the actual burger, cooked perfectly, smashed with crispy edges :) they offer 1, 2 or 3 patties. I had 2 patties and don't think I could have fit my mouth around 3. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant looks small upon entry but there are 2 additional rooms for pleanty of seating.There are a few parking spots out front and a small parking area. The whole area of Irvington is very cramped to me. They have a unique vibe but such a crowded feel. It was a Friday night around 6pm tho...

They had a decent local beer tap list, so I was happy to try a new to me brew. We got one Tillamook Cheddar Burger with fries, and a Patty melt with onion rings. It must have been one huge onion!

Our server quickly greeted us and took our beverage orders...they carry only Pepsi soft drink products. She quickly returned beverages on tray, then took our orders. I opted for the Patty Melt along with a side of onion rings. The entrees arrived in the blink of an eye. My Patty melt and onion rings arrived fresh and hot. They even tasted great too! The hamburger patty was thick and juicy and cooked the way I'd prepare it myself. Portions were more than ample. After finishing my "feast" it was time for dessert, a Root Beer float, served in a tall larger glass with an ample portion of ice cream. I would suggest ordering it for two...it's that big. All enjoyed their burgers and we're looking forward to returning next year. * I purposely didn't review the other meals served, as they will be doing their own Yelp reviews.

Zero proof drinks. There were some reviews about long wait times, non-toasted buns and the cost but the write up of the place itself gave me nostalgia vibes for a place called Cobra Burger in Richmond, VA so I had to try my luck. I really wanted to love this place, as I've not found anything like Cobra Burger here in Indy. When we arrived, around 6:45p on a Thursday, the patio had a good amount of people, but inside was pretty empty apart from the bar. We sat at a two top in the bar area. The music was at a pretty low volume, especially considering the amount of reviews that said otherwise. Our server was also bartender, so it initially took her a couple of minutes to come over, which is understandable. She took our order for drinks and then after bringing them back for the food. She was nice and provided good service although juggling tables and the bar, plus she was also pregnant. It took a very long time for us to get our food (close to an hour), despite three guys working the line in the kitchen, banging out burger after burger. The food arrived, hot and correct. Both my husband and I were disappointed that the reviews were right and the burger buns were not toasted. Non-toasted burger buns actually make the burgers harder to eat and less enjoyable. My burger was decent for a non-handmade vegan option; for the price my expectation is amor sophisticated/handmade creative one, but I am thankful that they had a vegan option at all. My husband thought his burger was just okay and that he's had better ones around Indy, so we probably won't be dining here again. For the size of the burger, they should bring you ample napkins without having to ask because it is very messy trying to eat them. For two burgers with fries, one small mac & cheese, and three beers (one regular and two nonalcoholic) before tip the bill was over $80. Now, if the food was top-tier fantastic, I would say fine but being that it was more middle of the road it's a bit pricey.

After visiting at the end of January and ordered takeout in early February and was still so blown away at the quality and the care that was put in to even a take out order. The fries were phenomenal as well. They are pretty close to being shoelace fries and with the bowl you get two signature sauces of your choosing. I can't remember what sauces we had but they were delicious. I will definitely be back and probably will have to have a shake next time.

One of my favorite memories from The District Tap actually started with a shirt…read more We were sitting on the patio overlooking Georgia Street on a Fever game day when a couple walked by wearing one of the coolest Caitlin Clark shirts we'd ever seen. We complimented it, asked where they found it, and before we knew it, we were chatting with a wonderful couple who had traveled all the way from overseas just to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play that night. Moments like that are one of the reasons I love Indianapolis on game days. The patio was the perfect place to soak it all in. Fever fans filled the sidewalks, kids proudly carried homemade signs, and there was an excitement in the air that only comes from a city rallying behind its team. We could have people-watched for hours. Our waitress was exactly what every server should strive to be. Friendly, relaxed, and genuinely fun to talk to, she somehow mastered the art of appearing right before we found ourselves looking around for her. We never felt rushed, but we also never waited for anything. The food held up its end of the bargain too. The fried mozzarella disappeared embarrassingly fast and earned a solid 9.3 on my unofficial stretch meter. Crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey inside, with a marinara sauce that was every bit as good as the cheese itself. The chef salad was fresh, generously loaded with toppings, and easily big enough for a meal. I honestly couldn't tell you what beer I ordered... Because what I remember most is the experience. Sharing appetizers on a sunny patio, meeting fellow basketball fans from halfway around the world, and watching Indianapolis come alive before tipoff. It reminded me that sports have a funny way of turning complete strangers into friends. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're headed to Gainbridge.

Our server was friendly and responsive to one member of our group (male) but repeatedly didn't acknowledge another (female). This wasn't a one-time thing, it happened several times over the course of our visit, and it came across as dismissive. As for the drinks: beer prices were nice and cheap, but the margarita was on the expensive side and not really worth it. The place seems geared toward bigger dinner crowds, which may be why a two-person drinks-only table didn't get much attention, but being essentially ignored isn't a great look either way. We wouldn't return. 2/5.
