The place is nice, they have free lemon water, and plenty of seating. Went up to order and the person behind the desk recommended I get the onions with the burger, said that the onions were what made it! I loved that enthusiasm and asked for it as is. I also got their cajun fries on the side. The burger was okay, it wasn't seasoned so nothing special or comparable to other smashburgers I've tried, and was small for the price. The fries were very salty, crispy, but the salt overpowered how good they may have been -- if you're gonna get fries, get the regular ones!

Wow! I have found my new favorite burger place! I was blown away by their menu. Besides having a…read morereally nice selection of regular burgers, they have a whole plant based menu!!!!! We went on a weekday evening, there was only a couple of tables occupied with 2 girls attending. One girl was really friendly, explained the menu and had answering to any questions, while the other was not very friendly, helpful, or even patient. The food itself tasted amazing. I had ordered the spicy mozzarella sticks and the sunshine burger. The patty itself was very nicely cooked with a nice mixture of ingredients. The whole burger tasted so fresh. The spicy mozzarella was a really nice twist to just regular mozzarella sticks, they had a really nice jalapeno taste. My daughter was delighted to have veggie nuggets with French fries and said they were really good. My grandma ordered a plain hot dog and was surprised by the massive size of the sausage, she enjoyed her meal as well. I had ordered the hibiscus tea which was so refreshing, my daughter ended up getting one for herself as well. Overall, I loved the food and all the plant based options and will definitely be returning. Hopefully next time with better service.

It wasn't a place I had ever heard of before, but the hype and solid reviews were convincing enough to make it our opening act. The patties are halal, and whether that's the reason or not, there was a distinct smell coming from the beef--something noticeably different from a standard smash burger. Not necessarily bad, but definitely not my personal favorite. We ordered the Double Cheeseburger and the Slap & Melt. Between the two, the Slap & Melt clearly worked better for my palate. The patty and cheese played well together, the edges were nicely crisp, and the bun held everything together with a satisfying texture and balance. Ironically, the standout item for me was the chicken fingers--which were genuinely good. Overall, it wasn't a bad stop by any means. But given that Clifton isn't exactly around the corner for us, I'm not sure this is a place I'd go out of my way to revisit. Solid, but not destination-worthy--for us, at least.

The woman working at the counter was really friendly and gave us her recommendations. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we did just that! We got the fried zucchini for an appraiser and the spicy station chicken box to share. The fried zucchini wasn't heavily breaded or oily, and the box was super spicy packed with so much flavor. We also got the crispy chicken sandwich, the Louisiana chicken sandwich, and the spicy burger with a side of onion rings. Each burger/sandwich came with a fun colored bun! The chipotle sauce was so good and we all enjoyed the food. Even though most of it was fried, nothing came out soggy and drenched in oil. Would definitely recommend this place as you get a good amount of food for the price. The inside was clean and nicely lit and it got lost of natural light from the windows.

The burgers are spectacular. Far and away the best "smash" type burgers I have ever had. High quality beef smashed to perfection with just the right amount of caramelization and char. Moist and incredibly flavorful. Served with meted American cheese pickles on a perfectly toasted bun. I chose to go with mac and cheese for my side and it was excellent. Tasted home made. I plan to try the fries next time as they look pretty good as well. The service was on point. I waited about 10 minutes for the prep and it was worth the small wait. The dining area appears to have been inspired by Five Guys. Red, white and black. Almost identical. The prices are very fair. I will definitely be adding Slap Burger into my regular rotation.

Once I got inside, I was unfortunately waiting for another 10 minutes to even be seen as no one was at the front - one lady kept going in and out of the kitchen serving the one table they had, but she didn't pay me any mind -. Onto the food: the shawarma was alright, not great nor the best I've had in Jersey - the meat wasn't as flavorful as other places; it came with pickles which was very new to me as I've never had shawarma that came with it. The fries, though, were really good! Very well seasoned and crispy so I definitely give them props for that. The place seems fairly spacious if you do decide to eat in. My main concern and the reason why I'm giving them 3 stars (on top of the fact that the shawarma was only okay) is how long it took for them to address me. I think they should have a bell or a button for people to press so the people in the kitchen know there's someone waiting.

I understand now that I should've kept the chips when I picked up the order and saw them! Good-large sized burgers with the works in them. We didn't have jalapeños but the meat itself was a little too seasoned for us. Plus, the texture seemed like it had some kind of "filler"? It didn't taste or feel like 100% beef patty. The texture felt too soft and was a thin patty. For 4 people at $88 that was a lot to spend for a burger that wasn't up to the promise we've heard and read about in reviews. The service was great and we appreciated the friendly employer who greeted us. We parked across the street on Bloomfield Avenue in front of Whole Foods. If you couldn't get parking you could also park up at the Art Museum just a short walk up the block. All in all, glad we tried it.
