    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!

    The OG The Cheesy Classic Chili Fries
    Ashli A.

    First time trying this out - quality smash burgers that are actually SMASH burgers!!! Negatives - it's Pepsi -wish the fries were crispier and hot. But the garlic aioli was a nice side sauce for dipping -sliced onions were a little hard to fully bite through. Chopped would have been nice -music is a tinge loud in the back room area -chili didn't have flavor Positives -burgers are delicious -toppings are fresh -burger buns are soft -spacious. Lots of seats to choose from -service was great. Staff was friendly and explained the menu line up since we are new to the area. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. I got the OG and everything was great. Loved the sauce too on the burger.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Single with cheese, regular fries

    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.

    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!

    Zach R.

    Great food! Found this wonderful place just driving through. So glad we found it. May never be back to this part ever again but if I am... definitely will be back. Clean and comfortable. Service was great and they were very friendly.

Vegan friendly which is great for a burger place. You can come here and pig out while bringing someone who doesn't enjoy the slaughter - a big plus for extended family outings. A couple of other pros are there is a whole freaking parking lot which is unusual but awesome. The full bar has plenty of options including great craft beer. Last but not least the cheese curds are the best in Indy that I'm aware of. I've had a couple of their burgers so far and I don't think you can go wrong with them. The Motörhead is basically a Greek style burger which I found to be exceptional. Burgers are cooked to how you like it so execution is also phenomenal. The Neurosis is your Swiss and mushroom style burger, also great.

It fits right in with the Fountain Square neighborhood! This burger had a lot going on. Chicken, waffles, bacon and a sweet syrup making it taste like something you'd want to eat for breakfast. Everything worked, except the actual burger. And since that was supposed to be the star here, I knocked it a little for not meeting burger expectations. Unfortunately the burger was not seasoned at all. You can probably tell just by looking at it that it was also pretty dry. All the other elements were holding this together and the burger itself got lost because of the lack of seasoning and flavor. No complaints with service or presentation! Just needs improvement on the actual burger, at least with this one anyway.

One couple sat down at the bar, waited around for several minutes and left the restaurant before anyone stopped to get them drinks. Just not worth coming back to again when there's so many other places to go. Maybe would order a burger for pickup/to-go as it was quite good.

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.
