Came here starving for some good eats, and Smashed RVA sure did deliver! The double bacon smash was on POINT! Patties grilled perfectly packed with flavor! Cajun fries were just the way I like'em! Generously covered in the seasoning! Will definitely be inviting more friends and family to join me for another trip to get smashed! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food, service and vibe all good for a hamburger place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's rare for me to want burger and fries but today was one of those days. Smashed hit the mark. Warning definitely not the place to go for low calorie or low cholesterol. I ordered the BBQ Bacon smashed and smoothed fries. It arrived fairly quickly. The fries arrive truly smoothed with cheese sauce and burger with pickles. Tasted great. Many Fries may have been over fried with lots of oil where the whole fry is crispy vs soft potato on the inside. Smashed burger was good but was light on bbq sauce. Overall good experience read more

Thursday 8/14/25 12:54pm Add a taste for a burger called smashed RVA asked a couple questions decided to order the plain. Jane smashed with a double patty. Paid for it over the phone picked it up. Arrived home 10 minutes later. Ready to crush! Smh very disappointed. This was my second time here. The first time I ate in house and I wasn't that impressed but it was was OK so I thought I'd give it another try. This time, you know if you know that the damn restaurant business is fucking competitive do better The first thing I noticed was the bun was extremely greasy, the top of the bun. It hardly had any lettuce on it, and the bread was soggy. Unbelievable. I really wanted to be excited about this, but the excitement is gone.. If you know that the restaurant business is competitive, do better. My current pictures are from the blue and white paper plate. read more

Im a burger fanatic. A good burger can go in any plans on any day for me. This place has GREAT burgers! Juicy, that perfect blend of smashed crispiness and juiciness, and the creative specialty burgers are worth a trip every time one is released. And if you're particularly greedy like me lol, you can get fries topped with all the same toppings the burger has! If you're in Richmond you better go get a burger or three or your selling yourself short! If you're not in Richmond it's worth the trip just find something else to do for the rest of the day lol read more

The tastiest smash burger ever and the kindest staff. My friends and I have a quarterly date night here. Obsessed with the flavors and it's clear that the staff puts a lot of effort in seasoning. I've never had anything dry or overcooked which is a common issue with smash burgers, not here though! read more

Food and service were Excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Burgers were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Added to my favorites so that any and I mean anytime that I am passing through, this is the spot to stop at. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great burger spot easy to get to and bright inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted by the staff immediately. He took the time to tell us about each burger and the difference between them all. The burgers were so well seasoned you didn't need anything but the bun. I do wish the burger bun was a little more defined. All in all this is a great spot to get a great smash burger that is prepared well and tastes delicious. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very spacious and inviting space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cashier was super nice and patient. The food was pretty good. I got the beyond plant based burger with Cajun fries. The burger was a tad bit salty. The food is definitely made to order was piping hot when it came out. Our wait was not long at all. We also got a chopped cheese and it was skimpy for lack of a better word. I forgot to take pictures of the food . We paid $40 for the double plant based burger, an order of fries, skinny chopped cheese and 2 bottled drinks. Oh and by the way they only sell bottled or canned drinks and beer. read more

Was really hyped to try this place after i've seen all the raving reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty spacious, lots of seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My boyfriend and I ordered the plain jane smash, mac smash, and some fries. Not sure why but it took a bit of time to come out. Unfortunately, I didn't really love either burger. The fries and burgers were both average in my opinion. I think I ordered cajun fries and it tasted like they just threw old bay on it. I was really disappointed because I've heard such good things about this place. I think RVA has some amazing burger spots which set the bar pretty high (beauvine & jack brown). Overall, my experience was just okay. I don't think i'd be back but definitely would recommend to give it a try for yourself! read more

Environment was friendly and very inviting. Staff was friendly and attentive. First time visitor with the family, overall the meal was good but we the burger was over salted to our tasting. (note: my family and I don't ever agree on salt tasting but all felt it was over salted). The Baja Limeade was - loved it. We made a special deviation to check this place out and believe we will give it another try when we're back in that area. read more

I was soooo excited to come try the smash burgers at Smashed RVA... the pictures and reviews absolutely seemed amazing! But... and it's a big big but... I cannot lie. The patties are way way way too salty! If the patties weren't salted so heavily, it would be one of the best burgers I've had... it almost makes me want to drop it to a 3 star review... But I love everything about this place from decoration, ambiance, the bun, shredded lettuce, and fries. The staff are friendly and helpful and everything else is perfect. I really do hope that it was just a one off... that there was an accident w the salt shaker. read more

My first visit here, but it definitely won't be my last. I ordered my meal, took 2 bites, and immediately ordered one to-go. Food cooked to perfection. Flavors all on point. Fries were crispy and hot. Fast service as well. read more

Best smashed burger I've had! The service was amazing! Extremely tentative! Definitely a must stop if you're a burger person!

Ever since their pop-up days, Smashed has been a delightful dining experience. Their brick-and-mortar location follows suit. I've had several of their offerings, but the chopped cheese and the Mac Smash with a single patty (add bacon) are my favorites. Their fries are tasty too, with just a slight kick to them. They pair well with their ranch sauce. Service has been consistently friendly and prompt as well. Their new space is a great size, clean, and matches their brand well. I don't have even the slightest of a critique -- they are fantastic all around and serve up some of the best burgers in Richmond for sure. read more

Updating my review... I originally docked a star due to the price, but I'd rather spend my money here at a local business than somewhere like Five Guys whose prices vary based on the neighborhood (you can guess which types of neighborhoods get the higher prices). And I can't say it's not worth the price because my goodness, the burgers and fries are so damn good. Besides, the owner Michael is incredibly kind and helpful, and you can tell he really cares about his business. I watched him promptly wipe down the table every time people finished dining and left while manning the register and serving the orders when ready. read more

I'm not really a burger person but I did enjoy the bbq burger here! (Looks kinda crazy in my pic but i promise it was awesome) It was perfect, not too salty and not too sweet from the bbq. The patty was even a bit crispy on the outside and held juicy flavour on the inside! If i do crave a burger i usually go to beauvine. This place was a pleasant surprised and had amazing service! They also had the bottled root beer by barqs as a choice which i don't see too often. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the theme and the little merch they sell too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The yellow designs make it such a nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely go again even if it was just to pick up food! read more

How could you not love this place?! The location is SO convenient to my apartment, which makes it my guilty pleasure whenever I am driving home and craving a bite. The Mac Smash is just as scrumptious as it looks - the patty is just the right amount of char and whatever the heck is in that Mac Sauce is downright addicting. Worth every penny - and so quick to be ready when you order. Everytime I've eaten here, I've taken to go - but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside is so modern and sleek-looking... like a cooler steak and shake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the few places in Richmond I have consistently gone to thus far as a new resident and love it everytime. read more

Awesome Smashed Burgers!!! As good as when they popped up at different breweries across town. Nice location with a good amount of tables and a large counter area with seating. Freshly renovated space so everything is bright clean and new. Staff was super friendly and noticed that they cleaned tables immediately upon seeing a customer leave. I'm wondering if there's plans to expand the menu or eventually offer different fries. I like the Cajun fries but I would prefer traditional fries instead. I didn't mind when consuming them at a brewery as I was able to wash them down with a cold beer. I did notice that there was an empty refrigerator with a sign stating "Beer will be available soon". One critique to the actual smashed burger. I feel they may be over salted but it might be me as I often avoid salty foods but these burgers are still awesome. I believe they will do well here as there's a good size parking lot as well. read more

My wife and I visited Richmond to attend a pro wrestling show on 6/13/25 and wanted to find some here to eat beforehand. We don't come to RVA a whole lot and we didn't want the same thing we would get at home. My wife looked around online and found Smashed RVA. The menu (more on that down below) online looked promising especially since we both have certain dietary restrictions, which would suit us here, we came on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in the place felt homey, more like visiting a friend's house than anything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The woman behind the counter (I didn't remember any names unfortunately) who took our order was very welcoming and answered every question we asked. She even complimented the shirt I was wearing and we spoke briefly about it. Once she left after we got our order the gentlemen who replaced her was all smiles when I highly complemented the food. Speaking of... My wife and I ordered the following: I got what's called a double Plain Jane smash burger with mayo and Mac sauce, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and no cheese My wife got a loaded fries with their special Smash sauce, pickles, Cajun and vinegar seasoned fries with beyond chopped meat and cheese sauce My burger was without a doubt the best dine out burger I've ever had. Hands down. The bun even was baked fresh. According the workers they came fresh from a bakery in the area called Flower Garden. I knew immediately before I tasted it it was baked fresh. The burgers were fresh (not frozen) and seasoned beautifully. For 13 dollars, the quality matched the quantity. Their take on mac sauce was better than the originals. I was blown away and told them so too. My wife's loaded fries were great too. And not to mention big enough to feed both of us because she couldn't finish them all. Their smash sauce is a mustard based deal which was very tangy and tasty. They definitely had a kick due to the Cajun and vinegar. Just a little much for my wife's taste but I loved it. She said she'll just get them without the spice next time. Before we left, I got me a Mac smash burger with vegan cheese, pickles, Mac sauce, lettuce, and BBQ sauce which I took home. Upon arriving there I ate it and loved it just the same if not more as the first. I definitely recommend this place. They also have chopped cheese sandwiches on top of the smash burgers which you can get plant based in meat and cheese for those who seek that. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Great burger spot! Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Plenty of menu items to choose from and a solid variety of drinks in the cooler. The burgers do take some time to be made but they are absolutely worth it. Although it appears lots of people order for pick-up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking wasn't too bad, restrooms were clean, and dining room tables were well spaced out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would love to come back here again! read more

Wonderful smashburger. Crispy edges, patty seasoned well. I got the house sauce on the side cuz I dont like most of the mayo based burger sauces but ended up using it- it was kind of mustard-forward. Fries were good! Annnd the Baja Limeade was right up my alley with the jalapeño flavor addition. 5 stars all the way. read more

Food tasted good- made fresh to order. A smash burger is thin- if u really wanna taste the meat- get 2 patties but the circumference is big- so you could easily split it with someone. The loaded fries were like a burger without a bun. The homemade pickles are good! Service great. They are helpful and patient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is cool and laid back. Good 90's hip hop music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Revolving door- so that's nice too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you in the area- give them a try. Prices are reasonable for the Richmond area. They have a vegan burger option- my friend said it was very good. Everyone n the party enjoyed their food. read more

We've had Smash burgers at the different breweries before and are really excited to see them take the leap to a stand alone spot You order at the front counter and then find a seat. Once your order is ready, they call your name and text you. They have 2 coolers for drinks - sodas and vitamin water etc. You can get 1, 2 , or 3 Patty's when you order your burger. They also offer beyond burgers if you don't eat meat. Clean bright interior, awesome friendly service, lot of seating. Plenty of parking available in their private lot Burgers are a little too salty for my personal taste, still tasty though! What we ate: OG Smash - seven hills patty, American cheese, onions and Smash sauce Mac Smash - seven hills patty, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, Mac sauce Fries- Cajun and malt vinegar seasoned My rating rationale +1 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

I got the Plain Jane double and cajun fries and bought a jar of their homemade "Smashed" sauce. The burger was outstanding and hot with great flavor. The bun was outstanding as well and was told the buns are supplied by a local bakery The Flour Garden. My wife stole the cajun fries from me they were so good. The staff could not have been nicer and the order was ready quickly. I will definitely return to get "smashed"! read more

Delicious! This was my first time at the brick and mortar. It's super spacious both inside and out. Ordering was easy. I got a bacon smash with a side of fries. Took about 5-10 minutes to be ready, so it was nice & hot and really good. Also, everything was seasoned really well! read more

Smashed RVA specializes in smash style burgers and fries! They have vegetarian options and kids sized burgers for the littles!! I ordered the Mac which is a play on a Big Mac and an order of seasoned malt vinegar fries. The burger comes in different sizes I got a double patty and it was seasoned really well. The fries are a large shareable portion and were on the salty side. Next time around I would definitely 86 the Cajun salt. The unexpected star of my meal were the pickles!! The pickles have a subtle buttery sweetness to them that is addictive!! I liked them so much that I bought a pickle jar to go. Overall I enjoyed most of my meal, the vibe was chill and the employees were really friendly!! read more

I'm still on the fence with this place. Not necessarily anything to do with them either. I think I'm just not a huge fan of the "Smashed" burger. I don't see the hype of it. To me you're squishing the juice right out of them and I was raised "don't press them burgers down". I tried this establishment 3 times now, two diners ins and one to go now. I want to give it one more go, so I can try the French Onion Burger. I heard it was fantastic, but my bar will be low until it touches my lips. The staff is friendly. I like the decor in the restaurant. Fountain drinks would be a nice addition. The burgers are just too dry for me. Like my last burger pieces actually crumbled off the edges. Not my jam. Give me a juicy, well seasoned, patty anytime. Anyway, I do suggest you check by them out for yourself. Their fries are excellent! #stoptheburgerabuse lol read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Upon walking in I noticed that it didn't smell like food at all. It was a very pleasant scent. I actually appreciated that. I hate leaving restaurants smelling like the food. Inside was very clean I loved the decor. I loved the music that was playing. 90s hip hop along the lines of native tongue artists. Server was very polite. Food- the burger had a nice flavor to it. Bun was grilled but still soft. The Cajun fries really hit the spot. Will definitely visit again. read more

Smashed RVA - Mac Smash & smash fries - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

It is loud inside, BUT.. it is Saturday afternoon and the music is banging! Too chilly and wet for the patio today. There is bar seating that I missed because there is no TV. There was constant to go orders. Great twist on the all American burger... they smash it down to be very thin giving it a nice crisp. If you like your burger to be meaty- get the double or triple patty. This is near the College Campus, so students are coming and going and the music is geared to them. I am an old lady- so I had to hit and quit it quick! LOL. I got in- ate- and got out satisfied. Oh, the service is excellent!!! read more

Came here randomly for lunch one day last week and fell in love with the burgers here. I ended up taking my friend who was visiting from Canada here straight from the airport and he loved it as well. The plain Jane and the bbq smash burgers are the only two I've tried so far and they are both great. I think I prefer the plain Jane though. The loaded fries were also very good. The guy working the counter/register was also very nice and helpful as far as recommendations for what to order. read more
