Irvington’s indie smash shop sells out for a reason: crisp-edged patties, playful builds like the Sleepy Hollow, and local beer. Covered by Axios Indianapolis at opening and still humming, it’s a neighborhood favorite with patio hangs and Dole Whip.

I loved my experience here! The staff were so friendly—especially Alicia, who was personable, kind, and showed excellent customer service. The food was fresh and tasted like it was made with high-quality ingredients. We dined in and even stayed about 30 minutes past closing, yet the staff were still welcoming and kind, taking the time to chat with us. Definitely coming back—the food was amazing, and Alicia truly contributed to such a positive experience!

Before I get into the amazing food I first have to comment on the awesome service because this was second to none. Super friendly staff very hopeful with suggestions and overall just super kind humans. Ordering food was fast and easy and the food came out super quick. I ordered the aristocrat an added bacon with the loaded waffle fries. This was hands down the best smashburger I've had in Indianapolis. It was so flavorful and had that crispy crust on the edges of the burger. The loaded waffle fries were absolutely amazing, definitely get those. This place was super clean and very spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I'm telling you right now, f#$king run don't walk to this place and thank me later. I will definitely be back as I did not order ice cream on purpose because I wanted another reason to come back! 15 out of 10!

This place has cute outdoor patio seating along with tables inside. The interior ambiance is not great, but the burgers are fantastic, classic smash burgers. You order at the counter.

Something about this place screams for a visit from Guy of "Dumps, Dives and Diners" (or something like that 😁) fame. I think Guy would approve of the Smash'd Burger approach to food. I had a chili and sweet potato fries, very nice, if surprisingly not that spicy on the jalapeno infused chili. My mother got the Vegan speciality, the Beyond Smash'd Burger. The "meat" was actually pretty good which is not always the case, by any means. The staff was friendly and clearly invested in the success of the shop. They were cleaning tables, serving orders but without being overly intrusive or "tip seeking". The main draw was the atmosphere: made up of equal parts of old-time Irvington, trendy sports bar, welcoming family restaurant and old school burger joint. It could have pulled in too many directions but for me, it worked. Pro Tip Long time Irvingtonians will remember that this building once housed Lazy Days Coffee Shop which was also quite popular in its day. My point being: This is a good place so enjoy it while you've got it and support it if you want to keep it.

Pretty awesome little place! Parking is kinda tight if your in a bucket truck! The food was wonderful! I had a double patty mushrooms and swiss. The thick fries were cooked to perfection! I would highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area!

This is definitely my new favorite burger spot. I visited on a Wednesday night around 9pm they close at 10pm. There was no wait to order. I ordered the original smash burger single patty with sweet potato waffle fries, and bottle water. My SO ordered cheesy bacon burger double patty with regular waffle fries and fountain drink. Total was around $31 not including tip. We dined in. The restaurant looks small from the outside but it’s actually pretty long.

Nice pricing for the food. Food was good. Staff was great! Nice atmosphere. The portion of waffle fries to burger wasnt sufficient though. But other than that, I would go back!

Burger tasted great! Friendly and quick service. Would recommend to use higher quality and larger size buns to fit the burger. Side salad was basic. Waffle fries were nothing to write home about.

Hands down favorite burger in Indy so far! I'm a sucker for a good smashburger and they hit the nail on the head. I ordered a single burger with lettuce, tomato, bacon on the burger with pickles and their burger sauce on the side. I did visit during the lunch menu and was able to snag a combo for $13. The waffle fries were delicious and the ice cream was delicious. I tried the cappuccino and chip, so so good. Will be back!

I was in Irvington for an event next door to Smash'd. We love a good smash burger so we were excited to try it! The line moved pretty quickly as they have two cash registers to order at. Plenty of seating inside and outside. The building is a bit oddly shaped but keep walking through to find seating. Food came out pretty quickly despite the signs saying cooked to order, please be patient for which I was thankful as I was very hungry. A great smash burger that disappeared so fast I didn't get a picture. They no longer have any waffle fries but the sweet potato fries were perfect on their own. The dole whip was a bit tart for my liking. Staff delivering food were super nice.

For a quick, easy, and delicious burger spot, look no further! On busy nights you may have to circle the block to find street parking but it's worth it. There is patio seating and two rooms of indoor seating. When I walked in I was greeted by two kind and friendly employees who saw the indecisiveness written all over my face and helped me decide on a burger! It was a tough choice because there were so many unique options. I got the PBJ Time burger which was honey roasted peanut butter, Boar's Head bacon, crispy jalapeños, + pepper jack. I order it as a combo so I could get the sweet potato waffle fries and a drink. My friend got ice cream (Dr. Pepper ice cream!) which she so graciously let me try and it was super tasty! Definitely a great place to grab a bit on a nice summer evening.

I need someone to roll me out of here !! I got the Big Irv with loaded fries ( I feel my back getting bigger as I type this :) ) the vibe was very inviting and was met with smiles and even suggestions as well. Don't think it's just the front area when it comes to seating because it stretches up front and can accommodate more people not to mention the wonderful outside seating!! The food is extremely filling so come with an empty tummy and the loaded fries are UNMATCHED!!

Great smashed burgers! Right in Irvington Food was excellent lots of options including vegan and vegetarian options. The smash burgers were incredible! I got the cheesy bacon with American and Swiss cheese and Boars head bacon, sauce and tomatoes. We also got the big IRV and an Original. Fresh cut fries were so crispy but soft in the inside. Sweet potato fries were very crispy and so tasty. Prices are a little elevated but the food was so good it was worth it. The restaurant had three rooms where you can sit. All very true to the Irvington "feel". Highly recommended. They were waiting at the counter when we came in, were very patient while we looked over our options and food came out quickly.

Had a double cheeses burger with fries and drink. The burger had nice patties but could have used some salt while cooking. The fries were waffle version and not hot. Wouldn't recommend the fries. Pepsi product but did offer the cherry coke version and was calibrated well.. Did like the outdoor seating.

Great waffle fries and a solid selection of good burgers and sandwiches. Not a lot of space inside to eat, but if the weather is nice, there's decent seating outside. Love the pineapple whip options!

I do love a good burger. This is a good spot for a good smash burger with outside of the box toppings. They offer several options from beef to veggie burgers. They also sale beer and wine and on some days offer specials where you can get a beer, burger and fries for a low cost. There is plenty of seating outside and inside with free parking right in the front or in back. Bonus- depending on the day they have spoken word right outside. Don't think it's affiliated with the restaurant but it just so happens that's the same area people perform!

First visit to Smash'd burger Friendly staff, not much of a wait. The burgers were excellent. Two specialty burgers and a build your own. Very flavorful with fresh toppings. The sides however, different story. My Don and I had regular waffle fries and my wife had the sweet potato fries. All three were cold when we got them. Pretty disappointing If we are in the area, we would probably stop again, but skip the sides, but we wouldn't make a special trip for the food, like we did today.

I was introduced to Smash'd Burger Bar by my sister, who says that it is her go-to spot in the city of Indianapolis. I chose and made my way to Smash'd Burger which was very close to me at the time while out-and-about in the city. I was acknowledged shortly after I walked in and up to the counter to look at the menu featured above the counter. It always takes me some time to look through the menu, especially when I am unfamiliar with the restaurant. Once identified, I ordered the Beyond Smash'd (vegan beyond beef patty, lettuce, onion, pickle, smash'd sauce) with Waffle Fries and Soda. I chose to order takeout since I had a 187-mile drive back to the city of Chicago, but while waiting for my order to be completed I had the chance to get a feel of Smash'd Burger Bar. An ideal spot for lunch and dinner, this fast-casual style of a restaurant appeared clean, and its atmosphere gave off a bit of a sporty vibe in my opinion. And there are a number of tables and seats available whether it be inside of the dining area, or outside of the storefront. Now as for my food, the vegan beyond beef patty was beautifully presented inside of the foam container along with the waffle fries. After my first few bites of it, I moaned and said to myself "Damn!" because it was that delicious! And I must say that the smash'd sauce complemented the vegan beyond beef patty very well. I texted my sister shortly after eating it, telling her that I will want it again at some point, * chef's kiss *. I am well open to re-visiting Smash'd Burger Bar again when visiting the city of Indianapolis being that I had an enjoyable experience. And as my sister recommended it to me, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. ~ Good vibes coming your way ~ Thomas G

OMG!!!!! I finally found the BEST burger in Indianapolis. I had the Sleepy Hollow burger with a garlic aioli sauce. The sauce was amazing. It did not overpower the flavor of the burger at all. The burger was cooked perfectly with crispy edges. Great flavor mix. My burger also had fried onions, bacon and Swiss. OUTSTANDING!!! The Dole whip reminds me of a trip to Disney. Great food, great service. I highly recommend.

I stopped in with my dad and kids to check out the burgers in honor of Burger Week 7/22-7/28. We were happy that the menu had more than just burgers because my father is a vegetarian and my youngest will eat one but prefers other options. After we placed our order we waited less than 15 min. Which was understandable since the food is made to order and there were people ahead of us. They have high top tables at the entrance with a small dining area off to the right and tables outside. Everyone enjoyed their burgers my dad even checked to make sure his was not meat and my son loved his breakfast sandwich. If you are in Irvington and looking for a good burger then stop in.

Had to see what all the hype is about! Stopped in Smash'd Burger Bar in Irvington and got a burger with a side of waffle fries. Great quality and price - the smash burger was not greasy and tasted very fresh. Waffle fries were HUGE and I loved that was a fry option because you don't find that at many places. Cute mural inside with some seating there and also some patio seating so you can enjoy the nice weather during the summer.

We stopped in here for lunch and I thought I would try the PBJ Time which was a honey roasted peanut butter, bacon, pepper jack, and crispy jalapeño burger. I made it a combo so I got waffle fries and a soda with it. My hubby got the build your own burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. He also ordered the sweet potato waffle fries and had a Wee Mac with it. They were quick to take our order and you order at the counter and then take your number to your seat and they bring the food to you. When the tables in the back get full it can be a bit loud in there. I did not care too much for the peanut butter on the burger but was still happy I finally had the courage to try one! If you like peanut butter then this one may be for you but in a burger place I want to be able to taste my burger and the peanut butter was just too overpowering. Waffle fries were ok. The hubby really, really, liked his burger. He even told me to make sure I go back there and order the regular burger to try as he knows I would like it. He did not like the waffle fries at all and they were soft not crispy. I tried to order the Dole Whip but the machine was being replaced. I headed back the next day to go the Market Vintage across the street and was able to get my Dole Whip then. So I am definitely going back because the hubby was so a big fan of his burger and I will try one made my way!

You could tell the hamburger was good quality meat but with that being said it was way overpriced. I ordered a double patty melt combo. $18.00 and on top of that they wanted 22 to 30% tip at the counter. It leaves a bad taste when workers at the cash register ask for a tip. You order your food at the register and they bring it out to you. It was not a bad hamburger but the fries were horrible. So overcooked they were very hard to bite into. If you go to a burger joint I really expect the fries to be better quality. Fresh cut fries not frozen overcooked waffle fries. So many misses in my opinion that it just did not matter the quality of the hamburger being used. In no way was this worth the money we paid. It really wasn't even a pleasant place to eat. It was in Irvington so we knew that it was going to be an older, run down building. Just not a great experience.

This was THE BEST burgers my family have ever tried during our East Coast road trip earlier this month. We ordered 2 sleepy hollow with regular fries and sweet potato fries, Loaded Smash'd Style Fries, 2 of The Aristocrat (still drooling over this), and dole whip! They were all delicious!!! Highly recommend if you're in Indy!!!

Very decent smash burger and reasonably priced. I opted for the aristocrat it was very good and had plenty of toppings and cheese. Wish they had coke products versus Pepsi but that's more personal preference. If I was in Irvington looking for a burger I would go back.

Smash'd Burger Bar smashed it. This little burger bar in the heart of Irvington was a great choice for dinner tonight. The concept is simple. Smashed burgers, sides and a variety of sandwiches are ordered at a front counter and are served to your table, piping hot and delicious. The menu has a large variety of burgers. I got their take on the premier sandwich of the Golden Arches: the Smash'd Mac. Their smash burger patties are meatier than most and the well-seasoned beef and toppings hit the spot. Pair this with waffle fries and it was a dinner winner. They also have Dole Whip, that bastion of the state fair. It sounded so good but I opted to have it next time when the temperature was above freezing. Brisk business even outside of the standard dinner and lunch hours. They have a solid product and formula and are a great place to have a meal.

My husband picked up our food to-go, but he was raving about how cozy the ambiance was! The smash burgers were phenomenal. Everything I was craving and more. We also got the sweet potato waffle fries that were delicious. The woman who took his order said you can choose as many patties for your burger as you want. Overall great service and great food. Even after a 20 minute ride home it tasted fresh and amazing.

If it werent for us walking around Irvington for a little market, I'm not sure we would've ever tried Smash'd Burger, but I'm so glad we did! The service was friendly and quick. Prices and portions were really fair. And everything came out great! I ordered the Aristocrat with chicken breast and my husband got the burger of the month: Loaded Fry Smash'd. We each got fries and a drink, one sweet potato and one regular. Everything was made fresh to order, sandwiches were juicy and flavorful, and the fries were SO good. Perfectly crispy without being greasy at all. There's a good amount of indoor seating and since outdoor picnic tables too. We'll definitely be back!

Delicious burgers and excellent well organized service. We came during Pride and even though it was packed they got our burgers to us with ease. Great outdoor seating area and plenty of seating inside as well. Burgers and fries were delicious and not overly heavy or greasy. Lots of beer options and ice cream too!

WOW! Just wow!! We are visiting Indianapolis this weekend, we decided to try Smashe'd Burger Bar for dinner.. Amazing. We ordered 5 double cheese & bacon burgers plus the aristocrat with fries and a drink, costly but SO DELICIOUS! Service was spectacular, the atmosphere is great. Music is definitely too loud.. We will definitely eat here again!

Hold the phone and gird the taste buds! Had an opening in my schedule to venture to Irvington, and saw they were participating in Indy Birger Week. The Original Smash'd is truly a good burger. Crisp edges, fresh veggies, and a bun that's almost Kings Hawaiian sweet. Got some fresh waffle fries that were bigger than expected, and perhaps a little less crispy than I like, but they were still really good. Quick turnaround from order to burger-in-hand. Now I want to try a few others. Quaint little burger joint that has something going - give them a try!

This is a great little burger place in Irvington, and should life ever bring me to the area from downtown, this is THE spot I'll go for food. It's a smaller place with a few street parking spots (maybe some out back? Not sure). The burgers are a good price but sides are priced separately, but still about $15 for the burger, fries, and drink. Everything came out pretty quickly and to order. I can't remember the price exactly as I wrote this review a bit later than I meant to! I ordered... The Sleepy Hollow Burger: great burger with good toppings (again, forgetting the specifics but I also write my Yelp reviews as a way to remember what to order a second time!) Loaded Fries: there's a good amount of toppings on here and I don't think it's worth the $6 given that it is fairly difficult to enjoy with the toppings falling off :/

What a nice burger place in Irvington! It's located where the former Bougie Biscuit used to be. I liked the color scheme they had going on in here. Navy blue walls with dark wood accents. They have a great Irvington mural and nods to the historic Irvington Halloween Festival tied throughout the restaurant. They had a special for the featured Headless Horseman - fire roasted horseradish aioli, sweet horseradish pickles, shredded cheese and lettuce. It was delicious! I hope they keep it on the menu. Crispy edges on the patty due to them being smashed on the grill. The sweet potato waffle fries were good and crispy. I only wish they had a dip for them. Some sort of marshmallow dip or something that goes with sweet potatoes. They also had great music playing due to a nice new juke box. They have outside tables as well to enjoy your food and enjoy the outdoors. Great place all around! Will be back!! They also have Dole Whips here!

It has been years since I was in Irvington and this was worth going a few miles out of our way for dinner. My brother really liked his burger and I thought the BLT was well executed. If you feel compelled to get a side, I would say skip the waffle fries. It isn't that they were bad, they just weren't up to the standard of the sandwiches. Maybe the sweet potato fries are better (or I will just get the salad). The unexpected item was discovering they had Dole Whip, an indulgence that I have only ever had while in the Hawaiian Islands. It was a welcome treat. Glad we stopped by and this will be on the list of places for when I am in Indy O

EXCELLENT burgers! The fries are fine. You order the burgers by the patty and a patty is 1/4 pound. Just order a one patty burger and fries and you'll be full. I went with two patties and that was a mistake. The burger was HUGE! They have lunch specials from 11-3 and happy hour specials from 3-6 that are pretty good. Bonuses: they have TV's for sports and a jukebox for tunes. The staff was tremendous. They couldn't have done a better job.

This was Bouji Biscuit last time we were in the Irvington area. Not sure how long Smash'd Burger has been open. The Cob Salad was great. Lots of ham bacon and cheese. Husband said bacon cheese burger was really good. The waffle fry's were crispy and delicious. Service up front was kinda meh. Just felt like the person ringing up our order wasn't feeling it today. We all have off days.

Finally managed to stop by and give this a try. This is a order-at-the-counter and they'll bring it out to your table type of restaurant. Had a single patty Irv, which was good in taste, but was almost swimming in special sauce and grease. I may have to order it with easy on the sauce and give that a try. I did not get the fries, because I indulged in the Dole Whip. It was nice of them to ask if I wanted that right away or with my burger... I took it right away as an appetizer. Not only do they offer the traditional pineapple, but also the vanilla version. Even better yet, both flavors swirled together for a fantastic experience. Can you tell I was more impressed by the Dole Whip than the burger? I will definitely be back for more whip. Wish they were open on Sundays, since that's usually when I am in the area.

I'd been wanting to check out Irvington's new Smash'd Burger Bar, a burger joint that took over the spot recently vacated by Boujie Biscuits and a spot that has seen its share of tenants. It's not the most convenient location, especially for parking, though it's honestly fairly workable and I never seem to have much trouble. That said, it's just not a super high traffic area across the street from The Irving. You can probably tell by its name that it's a burger joint, though they do have a few other sandwiches. This is a new concept by the folks who own Whiskey Business. Smash'd serves fresh angus beef Braveheart Black Angus Beef Company. They are also known for their pineapple and vanilla swirl dole whip desserts. Smash'd offers about 10 specialty burger combinations along with a BYO option. You can get a single, double, or triple. Other sandwiches include a grilled chicken, BLT, ham, and I believe a grilled cheese. They have cobb salad and grilled chicken salad. Sides include waffle fries, sweet potato fries, applesauce, and a side salad. You can also combo the sandwiches. I believe they served Pepsi products. They do have iced tea and it's Lipton. In terms of accessibility, parking is probably the trickiest part. There's street parking, a back parking lot, a parking lot by the strip center (that does have accessible parking, though not technically ADA), and a few other spots. The streets in Irvington can be a little broken, though I typically have no issue getting around. The sidewalks do have curb cuts. The building is older, though pretty workable and on one level. There's a patio that is wheelchair accessible. The employees were all friendly and helpful. You order at the counter by the door. They give you a number and then deliver the food to you. You get your own drink. The dining room has a cool mural in it for Irvington and 3-4 televisions on the wall. This is an older building - so the acoustics lean toward being a bit loud. My meal - a double burger, waffle fries, and an iced tea - came to about $15 without tip (and yes, the credit card machine asks you to tip). They do also serve beer and wine. The food was quite good. and the serving size was fine. This was a very easy 4-star experience for me with service being a highlight, food being very good, atmosphere being good, and pricing being about average. It's almost but not quite a 5 for me. The burger struck me as somewhat similar to what used to be available at Irvington's The Mug, though I preferred this one a bit. I will most definitely return in the future. Next time, I'll probably sit on the patio to get that experience.

This place absolutely rules. Perfect burgers and their sweet potato waffle fries are stellar. Quick service for made to order food as well. Worth checking out for sure.

This is a fresh, new restaurant in the Irvington area. There is free street parking and a small private lot on the side to park. The restaurant has a decent sized covered patio out front and 2 sections of indoor dining. The section of indoor dining by the register has bar seating that looks out of the window and tables and chairs. The other section of the dining area is a bit larger and has a television, tables and chairs. There is hip, trendy music playing throughout the dining areas. The staff here is awesome. They were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves sandwiches, salads, exotic smash burgers and soft serve. They also serve beer on tap and canned. They do not have table service. You place your order at the counter and then they bring it to your table, if you are dining in. A lot of items caught my eye on the menu, but I went with the Mean Tajin and a side of waffle fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food. The food was ok. My waffle fries were a bit too crunchy for my taste and the my burger was not as flavorful as I expected. It was good, not great. It was a lot of food. I got a double patties and I was full. I was also looking forward to some lemonade, as I am not a huge soda drinker. The lemonade was out, but they were apologetic about not having any and I was told that the truck was coming later today. I really wanted to like this place more. And it has a lot of potential. A 3.5 rating would probably be more accurate, but that is not possible, so I think that it was closer to a 4 star rating and that is what I went with. This place has a cool vibe and is still a place worth checking out.

A new fave for a good burger! I got a smashed beyond burger and my mom got the pb+j with a regular patty! We both give a solid 10/10! The service was so fast and everyone was so nice! For the amount of food you get, it was very fairly priced! We got to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. We will definitely be back!

I'll be the first to say that Indianapolis has an abundance of burger restaurants, so I don't give a five-star rating lightly. We had an amazing experience at Smash'd Burger Bar. Service was quick and the portions are generous for the price. We both ordered single burgers and were pleasantly surprised by the large size. They have both classic and unique menu options - the PB&J burger caught my eye for a future visit. I loved the Cheesy Bacon burger and my husband was happy with the Sleepy Hollow he ordered. One thing to think about before you go: We ordered a pineapple dole whip which we got right away and snacked on before we got our meals. In the future, I'd probably ask to get that with my meal or order separately afterwards so I can enjoy a sweet treat at the end instead of starting with it. Looking for a non-burger or have dietary restrictions? They can make any burger with grilled chicken or a Beyond patty and sub a Gluten Free bun for an extra charge. They offer sandwich and salad options, which is a nice addition and they have a kids menu so your whole family can enjoy. Smash'd is the perfect addition to Irvington's sweet historic neighborhood. It lived up to the hype for me and I hope it does for you as well!

Giving this the 5th star after I came back and got the bacon cheese burger with pickles on it. Just perfection. The ratio of meat to cheese to bun is right on the money. Pro tip- You got to get some smash'd sauce on the side to dip the fries into. Currently my top burger place in Indy

Smash'd Burger Bar took over an incredible spot once home to Boujie Biscuit and after a bit of a delay finally opened in June 2023. Irvington has officially been spoiled with new options over the past year, but a dedicated smash burger restaurant was needed. First impressions were that the use of space was good, maximum outdoor and indoor seating options. Great for groups big and small. Very friendly service the moment I walked in. Pepsi is served here so for the vast majority this is a negative but at the end of the day it's the burgers we care about. I was told the burger patties are about 4 oz so for my appetite I decided to go for a triple. Very good burger, cooked perfectly and though it has that crispy edge of a smash burger it all retains plenty of juice. Easily the best burger in the area, albeit with limited competition. I expect Smash'd to be around for quite awhile as the food certainly lived up to the hype and this will be a place that provides Irvington with a place to eat and drink later into the night.

Finally got to try out the new restaurant in town, and we were not disappointed. My partner and I got pineapple Dole Whip, The Big Irv, and waffle fries to share, and in all honesty, that was plenty. We left satisfied, but not stuffed and uncomfortable. They even noticed we were splitting and got us an extra tray and knife. The food was just down right delicious. The smash patties were juicy and charbroiled (Beyond Beef patties), and the fries were hot and crispy. Everything was seasoned well and you could tell it was all fresh. I will say, as a vegetarian I greatly appreciate that you can substitute the beef patty on any burger with Beyond Beef, as opposed to being limited to one or maybe two plant-based burger options. There's an up charge, but it's worth it to me to be able to try the multiple burgers on the menu just like the other meat-eating customers. Gluten-free buns are available, as well. Service was fast. We were able to snack on the Dole Whip while we waited, but it didn't take that long. The staff was friendly and kept their cool despite being quite busy. There's a decent-sized room with a handful of tables and chairs for seating inside, there's seating at a couple of bars where you order, and there's seating outside as well. Parking is on the street right in front of the restaurant, or you can usually find parking in the church lot next door off of Ritter. We will definitely be back here, probably very soon, to try more of the menu. Highly recommend to come try it out!

Service was very quick. Nice, small burger bar with a cool colors scheme + design. Got a Cheddar burger with Roasted Aoil. I could taste the meat and mushrooms in their most natural form...kind of earthy . The sauces were very tasty, but the burgers relied SOLELY on the toppings + sauce for flavor, so any piece not covered was unseasoned. They'd be right up there with Shake Shack / culver's if they seasoned the meat/ veggies. Fries were definitely good.

Absolutely a top burger restaurant in Indianapolis!! I am a smash burger fan myself and this place checked all the boxes. They have a variety of different burgers and an alternative to fries, sweet potato fries with a DELICIOUS sauce to go with it. They do have some craft beer options. you order at the counter and they bring you your food so very casual environment, small and very small town feel. 10/10 spot!!!

This is one of the best burgers I've ever had! This is a good neighborhood spot. Every time I come in, it is always crowded with the locals. I have even seen a squad of police officers in this location. Good spot to hang out.

The burger was a little dry but the seasonings were on point. We waited a little while for our food. Would I return? To be determined

I've been wanting to try Smash'd Burger Bar and waited extremely too long! We visited on a Monday night last week and discovered that kids can get a kids meal for $0.99 with the purchase of an entree! I ordered the Big IRV and sweet potato fries an it was delicious! If it has caramelized onions on it, sign me up! It was messy but amazing! The people working were very friendly and helpful! We were offered some suggestions and our food came out quickly! The restaurant was clean and there was plenty of space to sit and eat inside. I can't wait to come back and try the burger with peanut butter on it!
