"Smiley’s feels like you’re time-traveling back to front-yard summers. The Decatur patio fills with families seeking that feeling and loading up tables with crisp-edged smashburgers and crunchy smiley face fries with squishy middles. The effect is completed with tin lunch boxes holding condiments and a free baseball card with every order. Except now you’re sipping on neon slushies topped with whipped cream and sprinkles instead of drinking from the garden hose." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
"With bright yellow signage, free baseball cards with every order, and smiley face fries, Smiley's Burger Club is where you can find your happy place—or at the very least, one of the top burgers in the city. The smashed, double patty classic is what a messy, gooey burger is supposed to taste like, with crunchy edges, thoroughly seasoned meat, and a healthy portion of sweetish, garlicky sauce. Grab a seat on the small patio for a relaxed lunch or dinner, and pair it with a root beer slushie topped with whipped cream and sprinkles." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
"Decatur’s Smiley’s Burger Club brings full-on summer energy, thanks to its breezy, street-facing patio—ideal for crushing this crispy-edged smash burger (so good it made our best burger guide). The partially covered patio keeps things cool and the mood carefree—ideal for sipping a root beer slushie topped with rainbow sprinkles while playing trivia with the free baseball card that comes with every order. Kick back, watch foot traffic roll by, and enjoy smiley face fries with squishy middles." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"With smiley face fries, ice cold slushies topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, and a free baseball card with every order, Smiley’s Burger Club in Decatur is the burger joint to hit when the whole family needs a dopamine boost. The patio is big enough for the kids to burn some energy, and the smashburgers are blue ribbon-worthy (they made our best burger list). They’re crispy edged, seasoned to the core, and loaded with creamy, tangy sauce, pickles, and melty cheese. Let the kids slurp their slushies and debate their baseball card stats while you enjoy a hassle-free family dinner or lunch with a side of nostalgia." - demarco williams, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Former pop-up Smiley’s Burger Club opened in Decatur with its smiley face fries, breezy come-one, come-all patio, and happy-go-lucky energy, and it has quickly become a favorite burger stop. The smash burgers here are crunchy edged, juicy, and thoroughly seasoned, so they don’t rely on sauces or toppings to add flavor. Still, the burger comes with a delicious tangy-sweet secret sauce (with what we suspect has loads of garlic) , pickles, and melty cheese. Customize it as you like." - jacinta howard
