Smack Burgers

Driving by I saw that they served tallow fries, and of course had to stop and try them I had their hellapeno burger to die for. The fries are absolutely amazing, how ever in my memory bank the taste had already been cataloged. My guess is I had enjoyed these fries somewhere else. Come see Smack and enjoy the food he and his people serve. Boun appetite

My sister got the big Smack burger and rated it at 1.5 stars, my son got the Hellapeno burger and Smack fries and rated them at 4 stars, my younger son got a Bacon Smeeze burger and waffle fries and rated them at 4 stars, and I git waffle fries since I don't eat burgers. So our overall rating is 3 stars. If you like traditional burgers and fries, you should try these LA burgers.

Ordered the Big Smack with a Snack Box (combo including Beef Tallow Fries and a Drink) and a side of Onion Rings. Their Big Smack burger comes with 2 flattened patties, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and smack sauce. This burger was a bit more salty around the edges but had an alright amount of cheese and pickles spread on top. Aside from the flat patties, there is not much that stands out especially at the price offered. The beef tallow fries were cut waffle style and were pleasant to eat, a touch more enjoyable than the burger. The fries also came with a thousand island dressing and there were ranch and barbecue sauce options too. The Onion Rings were chunky onion rings that had a nice crunch to them. This place is located directly on a high traffic street but fortunately there are convenient vehicle entrances to the adequately sized parking lot. The staff were very nice and courteous. There is a roof above the ordering and eating area, there are no seats but there is standing space by the counter tables against the walls facing the street.

My friend took me here last week and the burgers were so flameeeee. Doubled back and brought my mom and she’s obsessed with the onions rings!! Definitely a great spot with super friendly service.

Yo! I've been waiting to try them, and Smack Burgers is worth the wait! They came from the Bay to LA in perfect style! I got the Baydestrian Burger. 2-6pm is happy hour, so for $9.99 I got the double burger AND fries. (fried in BEEF TALLOW rather than harmful seed oils!) The burger was Shmackin and the seasonings were abundant! The waffle fries were crispy and stayed hot down to the last one. It's on Western Ave. just a block north of the 10fwy. I gotta go back and try the different burgers, and the Strawberry Lemonade was 🔥 and had real strawberries in it! I spilled some of the smack sauce on my shirt and I'm not mad at smelling like a Smack Burger! 🤣 You gotta go get you one! 🍔

It's probably one of the BEST smashed burgers in the city. Made to order fresh, and customizable (how we like it). The hellapeno burger with the hot honey has the perfect amount of heat, onion rings crispy which adds a nice crunch. My bf definitely liked his Bacon Smeeze, bacon cooked crispy, american cheese nice a melted. The waffle fries seasoned & crispy, with the house sauce. It's a 10/10.

I loved it here! Bacon and fries was little over cooked, it was too crispy and not for me. But I really enjoyed the burger and sauces taste. Also I will bring my friends when they got LA from Korea.

Been wanting to try this place, live in the area and it use to be a decent Mexican restaurant , quick service, kinda pricey but well worth it, I was going to eat at home but once I saw the food I sat down and ate it up, clean area to eat…. I’ll be back Fosho

We visited on March 5th around 5pm for our first time and had a great experience. Matthew helped us out and was super friendly, great customer service. The place itself is really nice, with plenty of seating and lots of parking, which is always a plus in LA. We ordered the Hellapeño, Big Smack, and a side of waffle fries. Everything was delicious. Prices are decent, and they also have a great selection of sauces to choose from. Definitely recommend this spot and we'll for sure be coming back!

Absolutely delicious! I had just finished a strenuous hike and was craving some food. So of course I go for a healthy option... smash burgers! Its my first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. Its on a busy street but luckily there is a parking lot to use! The menu is so straightforward and easy to read. Its simple but perfect. I really enjoyed my hellapeño burger. It came with 2 patties, bacon, fresh crisp crunchy onion rings and jalapeños. It also comes with a side on the side that's delicious. I think the inside is decorated nicely and lots of seating options. The person taking your order is not unfriendly, just takes your order and not much else. I will definitely be back and bring more people. I highly recommend!

This place has some pretty good smash burgers. I tried the Hellapeńo Burger. It was a double with onion rings and jalapeños. It also has hot honey. Which made the burger a bit sweet, but it works. Sweet and saver is a great combo. I also tried their version of " animal style fries" However, this one comes with a burger patty. So if you don't feel like getting too much bread, you could just get the fries. Put the patty on top and you're good to go. It has grilled onions, and their special sauce. You can't go wrong with that. Everything was really tasty. I am definitely coming back. The service was good. Took our order and our food came out pretty quick. There's plenty of seating. You could either sit on a table or like a bar table.

firstly, I haven't ate in this establishment but visually the design choice is terrifying and makes me so scared when I drive by. Food does look good and worth trying though i'll give you that but pleassseeee why you so scary!!!

We left the museum and while on the way home decided to stop at Smack Burger... This place is Delicious!! I got the Hellapeño and the rest of my family all got the Baydestrian. Everything was incredible! Matthew was the gentleman who helped us and took our order. He had a great attitude and provided excellent customer service. We come down here every few weeks so this will probably be part of the routine from now on.

The happy hour is such a good deal. $10 for any burger and fries. The fries are actually good. Usually waffles fries are trash, but theirs are crispy. The burger is solid, too. But it's a little... dare I say... over seasoned lol. Whatever seasoning blend they use, they were heavy handed with it so I thought it was a bit salty. I tried the smack sauce and ranch. Definitely get the smack sauce (their house made burger sauce). I think the regular prices are kind of high; there are other good smash burger spots with a similar concept and better prices. But I'll likely be back for happy hour again.

Ok today we were hunting for something new. We failed on two other joints but found this little gem in the rough. First off parking is easy. Second go during happy hour. Any burger and waffle fries for $10.00. (2/27/2025) add a coke of course. Total bill for two was like 25... a bargain. The burgers and the fries were served piping HOT. The Smeeze bacon burger is a double (2X 1/3 lbs patties) Cheese onions bacon bbq sauce. Onions yes lots of em. The waffle fries are crispy and tasty. Our food was delivered fairly fast but the extra piping hot fries and burger were worth the extra moment of waiting. Service was good and provided by people happy to be there! Both of us really enjoyed our burgers and fries. We like this joint but think it could use a little more decor to liven it up a bit. I went back again with another person and we had a very good experience. This really is a very accessible (for now) burger in LA's sea of tacos Smack is a breath of fresh air. This is a solid burger joint in Korea town.

Very clean, nice resturant, and friendly customer service. Ordered the Hellapeno Box smash burger - double cheese patty, onion rings, bacon, bbq sauce, grilled onions, and there secret sauce. Very tasty burger smash burger. Love it that comes with waffle fries a little different than all other smash burger spots. For sure I'll come back if in the area.

Wanted a burger and it was solid. I'd rather spend money here than in n out. I only tried the baydestrian and it was really yummy! Maybe a little steep on the price compared to in n out but its okay once in a while. They do have a little parking lot which is nice. High traffic area tho so keep that in mind . I would come again with more people to try more things .

Smack Burgers opened last year and recently got the chance to try it. The interior decor is pretty cool with the black and yellow theme. They have two entrances leaving both wide open. Problem with this is that, with the recent LA fires, I'm not sure if it was ashes or dust but it was accumulating a bit on the countertops. They have no TV's so you can't watch a game while chowing down. Food: The menu is really simple. Every burger has 2 smash patties. I got the Bacon Smeeze which is like a BBQ Burger. The burger was okay. It lacked BBQ sauce it barely had BBQ sauce on the burger. The waffle fries are seasoned and they tasted good. Very similar to Carl's Jr Crisscut Fries. Overall: Nothing special or nothing stands out to me at Smack Burgers. Kind of disappointed since I was excited to try with my friend who lives down the block. The Bacon Smeeze box combo (fries + soft drink) comes out to $21.35. I'm not quite sure if the meal was worth $21. There are better tasting options out there for even cheaper prices. I didn't see any promos for happy hour so I'm not sure if they still have that promo. Most likely won't come back unless the happy hour exists and I'll try a different burger to give it a second shot.

The burgers here are absolutely delicious! I'm obsessed with their fries as well, so good! Everything is well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It service was friendly, they are efficient and hard-working. The prices are worth it as the portions are large, filling and satisfying. The food was made to order quickly and they have plenty of easy parking as well as indoor seating. Great option if you're looking for a delicious burger in the area! Highly recommended!

5 Stars Smack Burgers is a MUST Smack Burgers really lives up to the name. The burger was FIRE super juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked perfectly. The fries were just as good too, hot, crispy, and seasoned right. On top of that, mush provided excellent customer service super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience smooth. If you want a solid burger spot that hits every time, Smack Burgers is it. I'm definitely coming back.

Unexpectedly came across this place as my fiance and I were driving to a different burger place. We decided to try this spot to try something new and I'm happy we did. The service was very nice and the place is basically a cute little burger joint. We luckily came during happy hour so prices were very good and we spent way less than we expected. The food was also bomb. The trench fries were amazing. They were seasoned perfectly, and the burger sauce they gave me on the side was perfect to dunk them in. The burgers were also delicious. My fiance got they plain Jane and he said the patties were seasoned perfectly. Even though it was out of the way, we definitely will be back.

Love this place, best burgers in all California! The service is incredible. They are patient and friendly! I will definitely be coming back!

If you're a smash burger fan, this spot is a must-try! The patties are cooked to perfection with those crispy edges and packed with flavor. I had the Big Smack, and it hit every craving juicy, cheesy, tangy from the pickles, and that house smack sauce ties it all together. The Smack Fries are next-level loaded with grilled onions, cheese, and more of that addictive smack sauce. Definitely worth upgrading your side. Prices are super fair for the quality, and you can tell everything is made fresh. Staff was friendly and quick, and the whole vibe here is casual and welcoming. This place absolutely nails the smash burger game can't wait to come back and try the HellaPeño next time!

**Review for food truck in Bay Area** The patty is so juicy and delicious! We tried the: Big Smack, Baydestrian, Bacon Smeeze and the loaded fries (totally beats animal fries at In N Out). I can say the best one for me was the Baydestrian, but man the smack sauce and boy, it completed the burger. That sauce was SMACKIN'. The guys helping out in the food truck were friendly, fast, and attentive. This was parked outside of a brewery so what better way to get burgers and beers?! Because it was parked in the (back) parking lot of the brewery, I thought it was a sociable environment welcoming dogs, kids and laughter.

Great burger spot and service was awesome guy with the gold earrings helped up out and hooked it up will be coming back!(:

Ive been on a burger tear recently, and Smack Burger didn't disappoint. Out of all the smash type burgers I've tried, this one is definitely the best so far. I got the "Baydestrian" Burger, and it was seasoned to perfection. Don't forget to add pickles, because it doesn't come with any. The onion rings and waffles fries are also cooked to perfection. The place is clean, simple menu, and the cashier was super chill.

You know the food is good when you start feeling sleepy After getting my dog trained me and my man we're hungry and our first option is always a burger. So we wanted to get something closer to home and I was like smack burger, we seen it on tik tok and always drive by so why not give the restaurant a try. My boyfriend went inside and ordered literally didn't even take 20 minutes. Boyfriend walked out with a greasy bag. I was a little hesitant only because I haven't had waffle fries since Chick-fil-A and I stopped eating Chick-fil-A because it was trash so this was the first time me eating waffle fries in a very long time but I was open to it.. anyways got our order and we ate a french fry in the car and it tasted so damn good. Came home immediately started eating burger amazing. I got the bacon sneeze and my bf got burger as well idk the name, but it was fire. Definitely coming back

Welcoming from the moment I walked in. Doris was great. She told me all about the "Bougie Burgers!" And t's Happy Hour!!! 2-6pm and all burgers include fries!!!! I got the Hellapeña Burger! I loved it! The waffle fries are outstanding. They are crispy and flavorful. Smack Burger definitely smacks your tastebuds!

Darnell was efficient, friendly and attentive. Great customer service. Everything was clean in the kitchen. Many places have burgers, however they don't have Darnell. Go there and get a burger, fries and a tasty shake!

It's clean the cashier was cool nice atmosphere. The baydasion had 2 patties. The parking was cool. It wasn't crowded the onion rings were sweet. The strawberry lemonade was Good Good

This place is amazing!! If you like shake shack this is better! If you think in n out is number one this will tie for the number one spot.. hard to explain but yeah you just need to get here and try.. my girlfriend and I loved it!

Just as notice. I only review locations after 3+ times having patroned the restaurant. I feel it's only fair to give any location 3 attempts before coming to any conclusions. That being said these hamburgers are certainly amazing. Crispy and juicy all at the same time. The chef most definitely pays attention to taste and build on his hamburgers. The meat is most important and you can tell it's top quality. They cook everything with beef tallow and it's shows in the flavors and juiciest meal you will have in a while. He even leaves a small area of the back of the bun uncut to capture these wonderful juices almost like a little burger hammock. Their bacon is thick and crispy, their onion rings can go toe to toe with any major restaurants onion rings. These onion rings are amazing. I've seen some compare their waffle fries too Carl's Jr. I would disregard anyone's taste if they think Carl's jr waffle fries are even close to how tasty these fries are. They are seasoned too perfection, they are always delivered perfectly crispy, and they go extremely well with their special sauce. By the way they can give you ranch, their special BBQ sauce and more of their special sauce upon request. I've brought all my friends here including all of my family. Everyone agrees it's delicious and it's really a burger that stands out above the rest. You won't regret it, its a must visit if your ever in the LA area.

Trying out this spot for lunch! It was good. We went for a 24 mile bike ride and we were hangry by the end of it. He wanted a burger, and I wanted to try something new...voila! I got the plain Jane because...that's my style. It was so good. Smash burger style patties. Great bun and cheese. Chris got the big smack and was happy too! We split the seasoned waffle fries! The drinks were...okay. Not a lot of ice, it seemed like maybe something was broken. Price was a okay, maybe a little steep but $18 is pretty typical these days. It was a great experience, just one thing that made it 4 stars...no bathroom to wash our hands before eating. The employee was kind and wet some napkins for us though. We will be back

I had their Big Smack Burger and onion rings- very tasty! Would definitely go back :)

The burgers are pretty good. A lil pricey tho but eh I just wanted to try. Their sauce is pretty good and the meat has a good taste to them. The service is kinda slow because there was only one cook when I came.

Went three or four times now! Had the smack fries and the hellapeno my first time and they exceeded my expectations. Every time i've gone back it's like the first. Love that they even have a happy hour if you're on a budget but want a great meal, the fries are included with the burger of your choice if i'm not mistaken! and it's near my area!? A plus. A special thank you to Ashley and the staff as well who has attended me the times i've gone, with great hospitality and food! Will be back soon.

Great food. Great service super clean. One of the best burgers. Easy parking Had the cheese burger . Amazing

The crunch on every bite of this meal was top tier Fast Service too! I will come back

Good afternoon hope all is well is well. I am Jarvon from Inglewood bad at it again. Today. Came to smack burger to try that Baydestrian, with the waffle fries and strawberry lemonade. The burger was the truth cooked really well lots of flavor. The waffle fries were nice and crunchy, not burnt or salty. Both the burger and fries also tasted good with that smack sauce the truth. Lastly the strawberry lemonade was good wasn't too sweet. This spot is definitely worth the try and it's not that expensive and not a long wait which is good.

Great service clean place the food is fresh well made and flavorful.I loved the baydestrean burger. Simple and plain but shines in every catogory.

OMG so good!!! Service is quick and menu simple Burgers are seasoned deliciously and each burger is double patties They have a happy hour time when you can get your meals as combos Casual inside dining with open seating and open floor plan You will definitely not be disappointed! Hi order that Baydestrian and thank me later Provecho/Bon Appetit

My first time there!!!. The Burgers were tasty. And different. I got the "plane Jane" and the Tallo tallo fries......"The Starter Pack.. Ohoo, I will be back. I took the burger home to enjoy it at the pad. I can't say enough about the burger....and the sauce!!!! If you want to try a different burger come here get a smashburger. I'll be back big time

This place is so good best burgers and fries ive ever eaten. Everything legit and authentic. Very good customer service everyone here is chill

The food was awesome!! Little over priced but worth it. Gotta try it at least once. I would deff get that double burger!

Food was just ok. The service was awful!! Mind you the place was empty when I placed my order and I still waited for more than 30 minutes for a simple cheese burger. Not what I was expecting. Definitely first and last time!!

We stopped at this place to give it a try, but did not realize how expensive they were. After debating we decided to give them a try. One of the reasons is the cashier (girl) was so friendly and helpful explaining the menu to us. After ordering the food it came fairly quick, one of the burgers was ordered with no cheese but they made a mistake. not only did the cook stand behind the mistake and made another burger, but he also gave us the mistake burger at no charge. Hands down they may be a little on the expensive side, but their burgers are so good and worth it. The service was excellent; I crave good service so hands down we will definitely be going back again.

The food tasted ok. The service was good, staff was quick and professional. Location was cool since it's right off the freeway. Ambiance is ok.

The burgers were better then what I expected super yummy and the customer service was a 10/10

I usually like to stop at places like this It was really good,food was fairly quick the Fries are amazing and the burger itself has a lot of flavor which is always good in my book better in taste then in and out, the bun was a bit soggy is the only downfall, though staff was nice, even I went it was very hot!

Ordered the Big Smack with a Snack Box (combo including Beef Tallow Fries and a Drink) and a side of Onion Rings. Their Big Smack burger comes with 2 flattened patties, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and smack sauce. This burger was a bit more salty around the edges but had an alright amount of cheese and pickles spread on top. Aside from the flat patties, there is not much that stands out especially at the price offered. The beef tallow fries were cut waffle style and were pleasant to eat, a touch more enjoyable than the burger. The fries also came with a thousand island dressing and there were ranch and barbecue sauce options too. The Onion Rings were chunky onion rings that had a nice crunch to them. This place is located directly on a high traffic street but fortunately there are convenient vehicle entrances to the adequately sized parking lot. The staff were very nice and courteous. There is a roof above the ordering and eating area, there are no seats but there is standing space by the counter tables against the walls facing the street.

I am hard to please but Smack Burger is Incredible. Perfect burgers that you crave. Smack Burger is my first choice for top tier Burgers!

My son got diarrhea after eating here. It was hot no ac in the facility. He said it was good in the moment but I don't know something in that burger didn't settle with him.

All I can say is DAMN.. This is one of the best smashed burgers I had the Hellapeno is my favorite with the waffle fries full of flavor and the smack sauce is smacking service is amazing and the place is nice and clean.. but $22 for a burger and fries is kinda pricey but it was worth it..i was so hungry I forgot to take a picture maybe next time..lol

The jalapeño burger actually is good. I would recommend this place. The french fries taste regular, just waffle and I didn't like how you had to pay for the sauce extra. It's not really come on the burger.

I really wanted to love this place because it was a NorCal based restaurant. But the overall experience was ok. Let's start with what we loved. The space is pretty cool, it looked like a drive up with a covered dining space. The color scheme was black and yellow. They have happy hour everyday from 2-6, $10 for most burger and fries. Very affordable and on par with what a burger should cost (5/5). The food is good (4/5) it would get a higher rating if the burger patties were a little thicker but the ingredients were quality. They serve waffle fries which are crispy. Why I would likely not come back though the wait for food was about 30-45 min. There was a line to order when we arrived there were about 4 groups in-front of us. And we came at 3pm. I think their happy hour starts at 2. I totally respect making food fresh to order but there's 4 burger options. When you're ordering from a window i think the expectation is for the food to come out a bit quicker. I think there is more leniency when it comes from a food truck because cooking space is limited. I think I would be more willing to come back if the wait wasn't so long.

Harvard Heights, you're blessed with a gem! Smack Burgers brought the HEAT! First-time visit, and I'm hooked on the Bacon Smeeze - juicy patties, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and BBQ sauce symphony! But hold up, free waffle fries during Happy Hour (2-6pm)?! Yes, lawd! Co-worker said buns were too soft? More like, perfectly toasted clouds! Vibe? Electric. Service? Fire. Don't sleep, LA! Smack Burgers is the move. *Happy Hour Hack:* 2-6pm, weekdays. *Flavor MVP:* Bacon Smeeze + Waffle Fries *Return Alert:* ASAP #SmackBurgers #BaconSmeeze #HappyHour #UrbanYum #FoodComa #YelpReview #FoodieFind #MustTry #LosAngelesEats #HarvardHeights #BurgerLove #FlavaTown

My girls and I ordered the snack fries. We were very surprised to find that they were so different but yet so very delicious. We had to go back to go try other things on their menu their waffle fries are perfectly seasoned their onion rings are fire next up the burger itself customer service was excellent every time we've gone.
