6.7/10American

AI-generated summary

The is thin and crispy, and plenty of people rank it above 7th Street . It's overpriced for what it is. A few regulars say it has slipped since it opened and the texture is off now, but most still put it in their top three in the city.

  • I need to try it again but first time was meh… I still highly recommend SMASHED for a cheap / reliable option. The patties are actually slightly crispy from the true smash

  • replying to u/real-human-not-a-bot: Tried Smashed once. I was really excited because I really like Shake Shack’s smashed burgers. But I found Smashed massively disappointing- mediocre texture and all wrong flavor-wise. Dunno if that was a one-off or something was just wrong with me that day or what, but I was shocked. Should I go back and give it another chance or is it more of an acquired-taste burger place where their burgers might just induce that kind of reaction in some people so there’s no reason to try to return?

    But still recommend Smashed very solid burger imo
