    The Big Schmacc
    Ethan P.

    Smashed's A-frame sign on the sidewalk out front proudly displays their New Yorker review proclaiming them "the best burger to try right now." Although the overall experience leaves a little to be desired, the burger itself is as advertised. Their creative menu -- and the endearing framed photos of each burger that line the wall -- made ordering a tough decision. I got the Big Schmacc and the herb fries. The burger, simply put, was outstanding. Not only did it have brilliant flavor, great sauce, and all the right fixins, but the rims of the patties were razor thin and super crispy, indicative of a smashburger done absolutely right. The fries were nothing special; pretty standard as far as smashburger joints go, and the herb seasoning wasn't all that noticeable. The interior also is run-of-the-mill; lots of burger joints have some sort of unique, quirky quality to them, but Smashed had the same feel as many other fast-casual places across America. The pricing was somewhat of a disappointment. If you're getting anything other than a classic smashburger, it will likely be in the $15-$20 range, fries not included. That felt a bit arrogant, given that plenty of other noteworthy smashburger spots stay true to their cheap roots. Money notwithstanding, though, Smashed is an excellent burger.

    Bacon smashed burger

    I tried the bacon smash burger with truffle fries and it was okay. The burger itself was decent, it didn't stand out, the fries just had a little truffle sprinkled on top the fries at the middle and bottom were tasteless. Overall pretty basic and lacked any real wow factor. Given the price, I expected more. the service was good, and the place wasn't crowded, not a long wait for food. I'm there are better burger options out there

    Delicious burger. Next time, I'll get regular fries over the herb fries since there's a big price difference between the two just for some herb seasoning sprinkled on top. The art on the wall of the burgers on the menu was unique.

    Smashed wasn't exactly what I was expecting. My partner and I ordered two double smash burgers (one vegan), truffle fries, and a shake. The order itself took quite a while, roughly 15 mins, and the shake was another 5-10. My partner did like their double smash, but I'm not sure impossible "meat" smashed is the same. My burger patties were ok, and the sauce was a little too mustard for my taste. The fries were ok...wouldn't order again The Oreo shake was delicious and smooth and probably the only thing I would go back for. The inside of the restaurant is fine, white and bright with a bathroom for customers.

    Big schmaccc, and double classic

    Smashed does smashed burgers right. Casual dining, not a huge place but definitely worth trying if you're a fan of smash burgers. You see them using fresh beef and smashing it when they're making your burger. The patties are smashed super thin where you taste a crisp from the char. We got the double classic smash and big schmac. If you're looking for a classic smash burger I would probably recommend doing a double because the patties are pretty thin and you might not taste the patty much with a single. We really enjoyed both burgers, the big schmac tastes legit like a high quality Big Mac. Quality smashed burgers, we were thoroughly impressed and really enjoyed our meals. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the place was fairly empty, clean for a fast casual spot.

    Classic SMASHED double

    I ordered the classic with a double. Pretty decent smash burger but I do think there are better options for a good cheap eat smash burger in the city.

    Maybe the bun is too sweet n soft ? Is the meat too well-done ? I don't know why this burger just didn't perform well in my book.

    Walking into this burger joint smells like you've just walked underneath someone's armpit. I'm not sure why that is. Surely fried onions should smell great. The menu reads really well. You kinda want to order everything. I wanted to start slow so I started with their classic smashed burger. A single for $8. Service is pretty fast. The staff are very nice. But their classic smashed just doesn't live up to 7thStreet Burger. I feel the meat is done too well so it's not adding any juicy flavors. The extras like onions and cheese are weirdly tasteless. I dunno. This burger just didn't do it for me. It's not there.

    Bleu Cheese Burger
    Marian S.

    $15 (without fries) for a meh room-temperature burger with WAY too much sauce and blue cheese sauce instead of blue cheese. It took a long time to make too. I wasn't a fan.

    hot dog
    Sara Y.

    I didn't have negative experiences here at Smashed. Open late, very clean, Inc bathroom. :) there were enough space to sit down and hang out with friends. Music was on. A cashier was helpful. I had a regular beef hot dog. I was thinking of Five guys or here. I think here is more better quality than Five guys. A store is small so you might miss it. Make sure on Hudson st/ very close to W10th st. Try to stop by for snacks.

    Fries

    This place has the BEST smash burger! I'd put this one as #1!! The only problem that I hope can be fixed is the fries. They're really good but it's annoying that I coincidentally keep getting the bottom of the barrel or something? There will be a few normal fries and the rest (majority like 80%) are fries about an inch long. I've had a good batch a couple times before, so that's how I know that they aren't supposed to be crumbs. It's happened to me so much that somebody else MUST know what I'm talking about, especially whoever is putting the fries in the cup! I'm just confused how this is happening so many times lol

    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 two 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 a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, 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.
