I pass this place everyday but never thought of giving them a try...until today. I was greeted by a pleasant man whom I assume is the owner. Based on reviews I saw, I decided to order the Philly Cheesesteak. I was not disappointed. It was obvious that the man takes pride in his cooking. I was impressed that he put on gloves before he started cooking. My order was ready within 10 minutes. He assured me that I would enjoy the cheesesteak. I absolutely did. The prices are reasonable, the service was good, and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend it. read more

I decided to check out this place since I always drive by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cozy spot with outdoor seating and a bunch of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Saturday night, and there weren't too many people in line when I got there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food came out super fast. The smash burger was juicy and melted in my mouth. But, there were no pickles on it. The fries were hand-cut and really well-seasoned. Manny was super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back for the double smash burger! read more

Hidden gem in Hollywood. This tiny burger place is located on US1. Many establishments went out of business in this location but this owner seems to be doing fine. And now I know why. I had the double smash burger with fries. Fries were so so I saw him adding spices and it definitely gave the burger a fine taste and different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have outside tables to eat and there were quite a few people this evening looks like they are there to stay[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'm glad. read more

Showed she cared about the customers. Can't get that in many places anymore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A little hole in the wall on Federal Highway in between Sterling and Sheridan. Mom and Pop place with indoor chairs or outdoor seating area. Animals welcome[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

What a wonderful surprise. I was warmly greeted by the owner and treated like royalty! He cooked me a delicious burger with a generous portion of fries. The bread was warmed and delicious and the burger was served with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The blend of flavor and texture was phenomenal. There was a little kick to the fries which made them super good. I shall return! read more

Disregard the False crappy reviews, someone hold my beer.... Wow is All I can say. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you walk in, the warm-home setting sinks in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Chef Elias (pardon me if I misspelled) named his restaurant "Zander" after his son Alexander because of how proud he is of his son. This location is operated by Elias, his wife, and young daughter whom also helps after school! A single smash burger starts at $8.99 & the double smash burger starts at $12.99 with HOMEMADE cut French fries. I was absolutely stuffed after eating either of the 2 burgers. My go-to burger place WAS burgers n' shakes but NO THANK YOU I'll gladly bring my family and friends to support local business' anyday, everyday. Thank you for serving the community food with love. read more

Zander's Restaurant - Z Smash Burger - New American Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I love finding a good joint, meaning a hole in the wall with good food not one to smoke. ZANDERS at 1428 N Federal Highway Hollywood fits the bill. It's in an old shack that changed hands a hundred times and unnoticeable. It has 4 stools at the counter to eat in if you like. Zander works his magic about 6 feet away grilling, prepping, cleaning and supplies are piled everywhere for lack of space. There are picnic tables outside if you like. I had the Double Z Smash Burger, two hand formed angus beef Bergers smashed and cooked to perfection ( a little crunchy on the outside) cheese, tomato and Romain with a slice of Bermuda onion on a grilled bun. A slight film of the special sauce was on the roll. Sweet, tangy and a bit of heat. Served with a side of fries perfectly seasoned and tased like he just peeled and cut the potatoes. To be honest, the single Z would have been fine. The single is $9.89 and the double was $15.59 Kids are $6.95 ( he has a kids menu) Zander urged me to try the corn. He cooks it fresh so a 15 minute wait allowed to chat with patrons coming to pick up or sit outside. The ELOTE was boiled then charred directly on the gas burner then smothered in a creamy lime mayo, rolled in cotija cheese and sprinkled with tajin (lime, chili, pepper and salt) Zander himself is charming. A mixture of Greek and Arab he loves what he does. It's definitely a place I will return to. Lots of fun items to choose from including breakfast. And the prices are great. Parking in the rear off McKinley Street. read more

Great food and great service. The owner is very kind and attentive. You get the best treatment.

Food is excellent. Service is awesome hospitality 100% on point. I definitely recommend you guys go there.

Saw the chief on his way out, way after closing time. Me and my wife thought the place was still open, we asked if the place was open he kindly said no but asked if we were hungry and went back in out of his way to cook us a full meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing Food, burgers, and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I rarely ever leave a review let alone for food but this was just to grand of amazing customer service and amazing food to not leave one. Hope everyone gets the same service food and experience! read more

Just moved to the area. Saw this little place driving on US 1. One of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. 100% recommend!

What a great addition to an area in Hollywood that needs more eateries and business that won't leave you broke. This tiny location has seen a number of different incarnations including a hot dog place, fried chicken and most recently, an arepas joint. Most came and left without making an impact or lasting long. Now come Zander's and the vibe is different. For starters, the owners, a genuine mom and pop, hired a local artist to design a nice "Smash Burger" mural outside the shoebox location. That alone merits a visit. Ordered the smash burger that came with a side of fries all for $8.99. The owner, Elias, cooked it right in front of us and he was a delight to talk to. Super friendly and humble but proud of his chef skills. The burgers came out wonderful, a bit on the greasy side, but that's what you want in a nice smash burger. The seasoned fries were fresh and tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is very tiny, with mostly outside seating. The outdoor seating is mostly shady and breezy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent place to visit on a beautiful Florida afternoon to have a quick, cheap and delicious lunch while supporting a true mom and pop business. read more

I was really excited about this place but it was a disappoint to say the least. The cook was kind and welcoming, but the overall meal was a let down. I expected a smash burger but it was just two frozen Pattie's and when I got my burger, the Pattie's were way smaller than the bun. No flavor and the fries were nothing special. My gf got the Philly Cheese steak and that was mediocre. We both left it half eaten.Nothing special and it was definitely not worth $31.... You can find a better burger joint for a better value. (Replying to the owner- I was at your new location and it's Yelp so I have every right to talk about my meal. The meal was bland and not good. I'm not "hiding" behind a computer. Instead of being so defensive, just be better. read more
