This is one of those places that reminds you why burgers became a thing in the first place…read more I ordered what looks like a very modest cheeseburger. No tower. No gimmicks. No "chef's interpretation." Just bun, beef, cheese. And somehow it absolutely delivered. The patty was smashed just right with crispy edges and a juicy center, and the cheese was properly melted like it actually respected the assignment. The bun held together the entire time, which already puts this place ahead of most burgers I have eaten in the last decade. No soggy collapse. No mid bite regret. Now let's talk fries. These fries are the kind that do not need explaining. Golden, crispy, slightly irregular as intended, and clearly fried by someone who knows exactly when to pull them. Add the dipping sauce and suddenly you are negotiating with yourself about whether to save some fries for later. You will not. This is comfort food done confidently. Not trying to be viral. Not chasing trends. Just quietly excellent food that makes you pause mid bite and think, "Yeah, this is it." If you are looking for * a burger that tastes like a burger * fries that disappear faster than planned * and a meal that leaves you full, happy, and slightly smug about your choice this place is it. I came hungry. I left impressed. I will absolutely be back, and next time I am ordering extra fries because I have learned my lesson. Highly recommend.

The woman working at the counter was really friendly and gave us her recommendations. We wanted to try a little bit of everything so we did just that! We got the fried zucchini for an appraiser and the spicy station chicken box to share. The fried zucchini wasn't heavily breaded or oily, and the box was super spicy packed with so much flavor. We also got the crispy chicken sandwich, the Louisiana chicken sandwich, and the spicy burger with a side of onion rings. Each burger/sandwich came with a fun colored bun! The chipotle sauce was so good and we all enjoyed the food. Even though most of it was fried, nothing came out soggy and drenched in oil. Would definitely recommend this place as you get a good amount of food for the price. The inside was clean and nicely lit and it got lost of natural light from the windows.

We drove all the way to Clifton for Slap Burger as the first stop of a burger tour my wife and I…read morerecently started. It wasn't a place I had ever heard of before, but the hype and solid reviews were convincing enough to make it our opening act. The patties are halal, and whether that's the reason or not, there was a distinct smell coming from the beef--something noticeably different from a standard smash burger. Not necessarily bad, but definitely not my personal favorite. We ordered the Double Cheeseburger and the Slap & Melt. Between the two, the Slap & Melt clearly worked better for my palate. The patty and cheese played well together, the edges were nicely crisp, and the bun held everything together with a satisfying texture and balance. Ironically, the standout item for me was the chicken fingers--which were genuinely good. Overall, it wasn't a bad stop by any means. But given that Clifton isn't exactly around the corner for us, I'm not sure this is a place I'd go out of my way to revisit. Solid, but not destination-worthy--for us, at least.

We dined at the bar as we were seeking a drink and a light snack. Calamari was GF and delicious (wish it was more crispy tho)! We also ordered the GF dry rub wings. Amazing, crispy, flavorful! Ambiance: 10/10 Drinks: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Parking: 10/10 I wish the bar staff smiled. Though they were great at serving us and providing us our items accurately, most had the energy of a deflated balloon. A smile could have went the wrong way, or even a proper greeting. I'm going to assume it was simply a long day, and hope to see them in the future hopefully on a better note. They still received a 22% tip for their service.

Service is great, and they have a huge selection of spirits with a decent tap list as well. Service was great. The food was average, we started with some apps, fried cauliflower (it had no flavor but the texture was nice) , maple deviled eggs which were amazing and brussels which also delicious. The burger I got looked great but also lacking flavor, and was dry. I think there is a little too much going on with the types of cuisine on the menu and they need to just pick one path.

There's a lot of positive hype surrounding Slap Burger. So much so that I was concerned that it…read morecouldn't possibly live up to it. I am happy to say that it did in spades. The burgers are spectacular. Far and away the best "smash" type burgers I have ever had. High quality beef smashed to perfection with just the right amount of caramelization and char. Moist and incredibly flavorful. Served with meted American cheese pickles on a perfectly toasted bun. I chose to go with mac and cheese for my side and it was excellent. Tasted home made. I plan to try the fries next time as they look pretty good as well. The service was on point. I waited about 10 minutes for the prep and it was worth the small wait. The dining area appears to have been inspired by Five Guys. Red, white and black. Almost identical. The prices are very fair. I will definitely be adding Slap Burger into my regular rotation.

I would not recommend getting the banana pudding.

Cooked perfectly and it was like the meat melted right into your mouth after every bite. Very affordable too compared to other places especially nowadays.

Not that much seating during cold weather but someone got up as soon as we got there and we had a little table. Can get it to-go too obviously. Not that much space if u eat inside but not a big deal for me in the grand scheme.
