    Nice casual spot for a quick bite. There isn't any room for seating, only bar standing. The burgers are kept warm under a lamp before ordering, so they come out pretty quick. I do think they are made pretty soon before though as mine didn't taste stale or anything. Got my burger with the house sauce. Super saucy, flavorful, and a nice bite.

    Last Tuesday was brutally hot and after a movie I decided to have a burger at Smashy. I ordered a single burger with cheese. When I mentioned that I didn't like the fries as the spice sprinkled on top wasn't appealing. I was told that I could get it plain too. Naturally I got it and it was tasty. Now I know where I can get the two for rock bottom prices!!!

    The Double House Cheese Burger

    I had to run some errands and passed this small burger shop that stood out to me. It was not hard to miss and cannot be missed with the whole restaurant painted blue. It was very blue outside between regular buildings nearby. It also said American Flavor, European Soul on the window so it got me hooked to try out their burgers. The kitchen staff were busy cooking beef patties and the whole restaurant was very tight and long. Luckily it was not crowded and only had 3 more customers inside standing and eating their food. There were no tables and chairs. There was only a counter with ketchup and napkins. I placed my order with the cashier and surprisingly enough, I did not have to wait for my order to be prepared! I was shocked! I purchased a double beef patty cheeseburger along with fries and the cashier immediately gave me the bag that was next to her on the counter. There were a couple of bags on the counter piled next to each other. I think they prepared the orders and bag them for incoming orders. I never experienced this in my life before so it was very shocking and convenient at the same time to experience the prompt and fast service at Smashy. It was so fast that I got out in no time. This burger joint really reminded me of other burger joints like 7th Street with the affordable prices of a single and double patty burger. The single patty was at $5.99 and double was at $7.99. The fries were $2.99! To my amazement, the burger was still very warmed when I took a bite after my long commute back to my office from the rainy, cold weather. The fries were still standing pretty good after that long commute on the train to my job from Union Square to City Hall. The burger was very cheesy and cooked well done in a good way that did not dry out the beef patties. Beef patties were very tender and juicy. The melted cheese made it even more juicier. The bun was very soft and did not require teeth action. The cashier also offered to put house sauce on the burger so with the sauce and cheese made the burger very good with every bite. The fries were seasoned with this red powder that got your hands dirty. It was worth it though! The fries were very good with just the seasoning powder alone. I did not need any ketchup to go with it. Smashy gave a lot of fries so I was very full from it. I finished every fry. I will definitely be coming here again when I pass by Smashy. It was a fast and good bite to combat my hunger. The fast service and attentiveness just blew me away so I'm definitely passing by this place for lunch.

    Great burger. Fast efficient service. Love the pricing too a double and fries for $11 can't beat that for the quality. Really good, juicy burger. Fries were very crispy.

    Tucked along Union Square, this burger joint has a simple menu done right. The menu has ~5 items but the output is fantastic. Smash burgers with your style choice, house or classic, and great fries. Service is friendly and quick. Lots of foot traffic throughout the day. Love the camera to smile and say hi to our friends enjoying the same grub in Budapest!

    Just started working at a new location and noticed smashys was right around the corner I was so escorted to try it and for 5.99 definitely didn't disappoint. With nyc going up smashys delivers a flavorful classic smash burger for the low. Service was friendly fast. Takeout mainly there a small counter to devour your burger quickly but I highly recommend for a quick bite.

    Coming here all I was expecting was a regular smash burger however it was the not the case. Food: Compared to other Smash burger tasting I would say this one was different, How So? Well this is somehow more saucy and also the taste of cheese is more dominant, making everything melt in my mouth. The fries were just great, with great seasoning and texture. (Both burgers and fries were slightly not as warm as they should be) Service: Well it was pretty quick especially how there was a line and people waiting as well so I felt happy getting my food that quick. Ambiance: There are no seatings so you will probably be eating standing up or can walk to Union Square and sit there. (I would probably add some Bar stool to offer some comfort to some guests).

    Two cheese burgers and fries is a good meal portion

    Usually when I eat smash burgers like this I feel like crap but I think this place uses quality beef because I was fine after eating 1.5 burgers. I ordered two cheese burgers as I thought they would be small. The burgers are a good size. One burger with fries is a good sized snack of a meal. The cheeses was nice and gooey and melted. The meat had some crispy bits to it as well that added to texture. From the first bite I was getting a regular Mac cheeseburger. But as I kept eating it was giving more cheesy beefy flavors. I ordered on uber eats so I can't say much about the service but it came fairly fast.

    This is just a really good, somewhat unique burger. The smashburger concept has in many senses been overdone, you find them pretty much everywhere now, offering a relatively squashed and small burger for exorbitant prices. The taste blends together after a while. However, smashy burger managed to surpass my usually low expectations for smash burgers significantly. Apparently it's a franchise based in Hungary - and this is their only US location. Quite frankly, I should have expected it to be good, because it they bothered to bring it all over from Hungary to the USA - it's gonna be pretty good. First, price point is reasonable. Paid $6 for a double burger. That's not bad at all, especially in Manhattan (Union Square). Second, it avoids the problem many smash burgers have (being too dry). I ordered it "house-style", which comes with this difficult to identify orange sauce. It was moist and added significant creaminess and flavor without being overwhelming (common in many US restaurants). I can't exactly call this health food, but it wasn't worse for you then it needed to be. Third, service was just comically fast. You order the burger, it comes out pretty much instantly. Not sure you can ask for more from a burger place. Just as a heads-up, there's no real seating or tables in or anywhere near the restaurant, so I'm not actually sure how you're supposed to eat the french fries (you can just take the burger and eat it any way you want - you won't be disappointed!) Anyways, I had a great time and will definitely get this again if I'm in Union Square again.

    I had heard about this new smash burger place and wanted to drop by to try it. It was a busy Saturday when we decided to swing by and the burgers were getting churned out quickly. There is standing room only here, so your only option is to eat the burger standing on the counter or take it to go, which is what we did. The menu is pretty small and simple. We were handed our burgers soon after we ordered (they were pre-made and just flying off the shelf) The burger was your standard smash burger, I guess my complaint is that there is nothing about this burger that sets it apart. Not the sauce, nothing. Because this was already made when we ordered it, it wasn't even hot and fresh and melt in your mouth. Fries were on the dry side. I would also say the burgers are more on the smaller side. The edges of the beef weren't crisp like they typically are in a smash burger. This tasted more like a small double cheeseburger to me than anything.

    I decided to check this place out based on a tiktok food creator who recommended it. Also I wanted to wander around union square after work. I honestly couldn't stop wondering what restaurant was here before. I feel it might have been maoz vegetarian, the falafel spot. Anyhow I ordered a single cheeseburger with fries. I considered asking for the sauce to be omitted but I rocked with it anyhow. I am glad because it was applied sparingly . My burger tasted hot and fresh. The soft roll is a nice touch. The fries are crispy and seasoned with paprika. I liked the crisp but not greasy taste. This place is very affordable clean and quick. My only concern is how crowded it might get during a rush. Also I had to say multiple times excuse me to someone who stood in front of me like a brick wall when my name was called.

    Amazing vibes and food! We got a lunch reservation and I was surprised at how busy the restaurant…read morestill was. Service was a bit slow but not an issue. The waiter was really nice. I ordered the non-alcoholic ginger drink, spicy rigatoni pasta and the truffles pasta and Monkey Bread. Everything was so light and fluffy. None of the food felt heavy or greasy. Would definitely come here again!

    Made a plan to reserve a table 21 days previous to when we would be in the city - and was able to…read morespike one. There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.
