Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!

Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus.

Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy.

One of my coworkers and I decided to stop in as he had heard how great the burgers are there. Since…read morewe both wanted sandwiches, we decided to split them in half so we could each get a taste of what the other was having. While not terrible, the mushroom burger was nothing outstanding. I asked that it would be put on the chargrill for a few minutes because I really prefer that taste, but the patty on mine reflected being cooked only on the flat top. The grilled chicken was just okay. Our server, who was also a manager, was spot on in every way: attentive, informative, and willing to accommodate me having to change side dishes as the collard greens were neither chopped nor tasty. As one who cooks greens quite often, I know what they should taste like. The service made up for the average-tasting food. They clearly have a local following, which is great, but I'm a little bit more discerning about my food. I do encourage you to try it for yourself because they clearly have a following; I'm just not a part of it. I do though wish them continued success.

Well, new rule: never order the hot dog at a burger joint. They have one hot dog on the menu and it could feed three of me, no problem.
