My friend recommended this place and he was not wrong. It was a nice day so we sat outside. Our service was kind of slow even though the restaurant wasn't that busy. However the burger schmurger was very tasty. If you love smashed burgers you'll love this! The fries were seasoned excellently as well! I would recommend and would come back! read more

The Maverick burger was one of the tastiest burgers I've ever had in my life... I probably could've eaten two of, though, because it was a bit small. Next time, double patties! And the fries were legit. Fried in beef tallow! read more

Walking into this restaurant was like walking back into 1980s, in a good way. The tables/chairs and decor were point on with 1980s, maybe even late 70s. It was a fun vibe. The music was consistent with the decor and at a really high volume. The smash burgers were good! And their signature fries were tasty. I'm not a big fan of smash burgers but this was a good experience and I enjoyed my food and the decors read more

Found another great spot to grab a smash burger. These patties are true to their name, thin patties with a nice crispy crust! The fries are hand cut and shareable, definitely a generous serving of fries. The service was quick and friendly. A perfect place to stop after a visit to white rock lake! read more

Burgers here are so delicious and they have a great variety of appetizers and drinks as well. We had the Shmargatita and it was refreshing! I also had the Pasadena burger and it was so fresh and had great flavor. My husband had the Schmuger and loved it as well. Service here was top notch, super friendly staff. Loved also the decor inside, since it's so different from other burger places. It was also very clean. Can't wait to come back! read more

BEST SMASH BURGER in Dallas! The hype is real the consistency is even better! This place also has some bomb stuff other than just the burgers which I was surprised! Service has been great everytime. Servers are kind and attentive and were always checking on us! This place is a special one and the owner DAVE I can't say enough great things about him. One of the most humble guys I ever met and is truly passionate about what he does and he is having a great time doing it! Ambiance is awesome. It's an old school retro type of feel. I believe it was mimicked after parts of his grandmothers house. I could be wrong but just ask him he's is such a cool guy! Anyways this is the spot to get a Bomb burger! read more

I have been a fan of Burger Schmurger before there was a brick and mortar business. The burgers are so delicous. They have so much flaovr and really are teh best in town. We drove all the way from prosper to lakewood and the food was amazing. Be prepared for a bit of a wait on the weekends but it moves quickly. And a must try is the fried mozzarella! It was so cheesy and really good. read more

This is a darn fine smashburger! So many places say they have them but they just don't have the crispy crunch bits that make a real smashburger a delight. They certainly do here! When we arrived we were greeted and seated right away. Our server was great and incredibly friendly. The restaurant itself was clean and very inviting. In addition to the burger we had the fried pickles which are prepared on site and are very tasty. Great spot for your burger fix! read more

Finally got to try Burger Schmurger, and it definitely lives up to the hype in terms of popularity. The place was packed when we went on a Tuesday night, and we ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table, so come prepared to wait during peak hours. Food: - Maverick (8/10): The inverted toasted bun was a unique and fun twist that immediately stood out. The smoked bacon jam added a really nice depth of flavor and complemented the burger well. Overall, a very solid burger. - Schmurger (7/10): This is your classic, no-frills smashburger. Simple, clean, and executed well.. but nothing particularly memorable or over-the-top. - Schmurger Fries (8/10): These loaded fries were a pleasant surprise. The fries on their own were a bit salty, but the lemon dill ranch helped balance everything out and tied the dish together nicely. We would definitely come back. Overall, I'd give Burger Schmurger an 8/10. The burgers were well-made and flavorful, and the menu keeps things focused. My only real downside was the portion size, the burgers felt a bit small for the price. At around $12 per burger, I expected something slightly more substantial. That said, given the current economy, it seems like smaller portions are becoming the norm. read more

Oh My, Love at First Bite, This place was a home run for me! I loved the vibe when I walked in. It was energetic and unpretentious. It had a retro feel to the place, even down to the window curtains. Most of all though, I liked the neighborhood feel to the place. The service was good and friendly. Our server was also helpful, and that was much appreciated on our first-time experience here. I loved the food! I have ordered smash burgers at other places and this place made me realize how poorly executed the cooking technique had been at the other places I have ordered them. This one was perfectly crisped on the edges. The "meat-lace" as they call it was delightful. We also ordered Pretzel Bites. They were served fresh and hot along with Beer Cheese and Spicy Brown Mustard. Along with the burger, I would get them again too! read more

Was so excited to eat burger schmurger and the burger was good and the fries but everything felt overpriced for what it actually was. The burger sauce was more chiptole than I expected and the fries are overpriced for being shareable.

First time here, looks like they have a ton of beer and burger specials. I like that they have different French fry and onion string options, I tried two of them and built my own cheeseburger plain. Overall really good tasting, I like the strings better than the fries. At least worth coming in if you are in the area. read more

Burger Schmurger - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Wow this place is so overrated. I can prove that the cooks and servers could care less about the food and drink quality. First we ordered a Coke and a root beer. They don't serve Coke products but something else. They were both flat. The employees never have a soda during the day and say "hey let's fix this, the sodas have no carbonation?" Apparently it's all good to them. We ordered fried pickles. While I give them props for making from scratch instead of out of the Sysco bag, these things are so poorly prepared and greasy - see my photo with puddles of grease. Properly fried foods at the correct temperature are not greasy. You can't tell me that a restaurant doesn't know this. Again the cooks and servers have eyes and think puddles of grease are good to go. We ordered 2 burgers. One with Swiss, mushrooms and bacon and one with blue cheese. American cheese, bacon and onion strings. There are two 2 oz patties per burger so the toppings overwhelm any burger meat. I truly believe that people who are responding that it's the best burger are just experiencing the flavor of the toppings because you cannot taste the burger meat at all. My burger had blue cheese and American cheese which were both melted entirely off the burger leaving a faint white haze. I could not taste either. So the cook thought "yeah I'm proud of that." All I could taste was the bacon which was good and the fistful of onion strings. Also the burgers are thoughtlessly prepared. There is no care putting them together. Just slap that stuff on the bun - I guess it's charming and looks homemade? I also ordered 6 buffalo wings. OMG the worst wings I've ever had! I think the meat was freezer burned but hey in they go into the fryer and served with carrots and celery. The celery was very stringy. Now you might think I'm being overly picky but hear me out. Somebody in the kitchen had to use a vegetable peeler on the carrots and guess what - it's super easy to use the peeler on the celery but I guess that would take a little pride and care in preparation. Bottom line $50 wasted on poorly and carelessly prepared food is never a repeat for us. I would go so far to say "Burger Schmuger, shame on you for pulling one over on the rubes." But it's very typical Dallas isn't it? read more

On a recent trip to Dallas, I stumbled upon Burger Schmurger and had one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Juicy, insanely flavorful, with butter-toasted buns that make all the difference.

There is some confusion on Yelp about this place. There is a random location marked "closed" that never actually existed, so ignore that nonsense and come here. We rolled in around noon on a Tuesday and the place was only about one third full. Our waiter Joe deserves a medal. He was enthusiastic, knew the menu inside and out, and talked up the specials like a pro. Bonus points for energy, Joe. I had high hopes for the mozzarella sticks. They came out as melty cheese triangles, which I fully support. Sadly, the breading was too thick for my liking. The flavor was good, and I appreciated the dill ranch and warm marinara. For our shared entrée, we went with the blue cheese and bacon burger. Rookie mistake. The blue cheese was delicious but completely dominated the whole burger. This was on us. Next time I am sticking to a no-frills cheeseburger so I can judge the actual beef. Oh, and a heads up, burgers here are doubles by default. Don't be the fool who pays to "add" a patty you already get. The beef tallow fries were decent, but they could have been hotter, and they had an unnecessary seasoning salt on them... Just give me the beefy fry glory straight up next time please. And there is a bit of misogyny going on with the bathrooms that I really didn't enjoy - Dudes and Dudettes. How about Cowgirl and "not cowgirl"? or gals and galettes? read more

Delicious food and service!! Highly recommend checking them out. The had tons of options.

This satisfied my smashburger craving. Went with their lunch special which was the classic schmurger + fries + a drink. I didn't know they had their own version of coke - I loved it. Their fries were also really well seasoned. The service was great and quick and the inside had a super cute retro feel. I will 100% be back. read more

Burger Schmurger - Schmurger + fries - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This restaurant is not far from our house so I decided to give it a try. I went solo for lunch on a Friday before a holiday so it was not very busy. The restaurant is clean and new, everything is in good condition. I was seated immediately and thereafter my server arrived very quickly. We chatted a bit and I decided on the East Dallas burger, which is blue cheese, bacon, onion strings, and a white cheese. It was very flavorful and I liked it a lot. The bacon was crips but not burnt. The burger came out quickly and was hot. I also got a side of fries. On the positive side, they were very crispy. On the negative side, they were incredibly salty. Too much salt! I ate them but it was not very pleasant. My server Aubrea was attentive and friendly. No complaints or problems. Other reviews have complained about small burger size. I thought the size of the East Dallas was fine. It was fairly priced at $12. You go to a burger restaurant these days and a burger is $14-15 or more. Sometimes a lot more. Even fast food places like BK or Five Guys have $10-11 burgers. That said, the overall price was a bit high for a lunch. With fries, a drink, tax and tip it was almost $26. I could have gotten the lunch special for $15 which is a specific burger, fries and drink, but I did not want the burger that was offered. Overall, it was a good experience. I am glad that I tried it and now I can cross it off my list. I would consider going again but I probably would not get the fries. read more

Mozzarella sticks are out of this world. Crispy, air pocket, and the right cheese ratio. Burger is very solid. The crunchy edges on the patty were new to me, and added a cool texture. The flavor of the burger was good, but not great; think Whatburger patty melt with higher quality ingredients and smashed patty. It could have been juicier. Service was friendly. Credit card processing fee is silly. If someone suggested it, I'd definitely be happy to join. If someone asked me where I'd recommend for a burger, I'd still go with Rodeo Goat. Definitely worth trying for the mozzarella sticks alone read more

Great burger spot right by White Rock Lake! My wife and I go here after walking around the lake and their burgers and ice cold beer hit every time. We ordered the regular Schmurger Burger and The Maverick (pictured) and both were very good! I would go for the garlic aioli sauce over the ranch IMO. It is a little pricey, for two burgers, two fries and two beers it was over $50. But still a solid burger spot! read more

We had previously tried to come here on a Friday night but there was an hour+ long wait. We came back early in the evening on a weeknight and got in with no issue. Service was extremely friendly and we enjoyed the retro/family friendly feel to the restaurant. We got the Schmurger and the Claremont Hotel. Both were cooked extremely well but the Schmurger was my preference between the two. The fries were fantastic and so were the fried pickles. Overall, this is definitely one of the better smash burgers in the area but I wouldn't wait over an hour for it if that situation occurred again. read more

Burger Schmurger? YES! Today, we were in the mood for burger. Enter Burger Schmurger, located in the Lake Highland area on N. Buckner. This cute eatery was established in 2021 and it's definitely a spot were the cool kids meets! Part diner, part sports bar, Burger Schmurger is serving up smash burgers, salads, chicken sandwiches and then some! My Boo Thang' started with the Mozzarella "sticks" (and I use this term very loosely). 4 triangular slabs, breaded, and deep fried, served with marinara and their house made lemon dill ranch. They were super good and the cheese pull was ridiculous! He also had the Maverick Burger on our waitress Ava's suggestion, and it was a hit! Well seasoned patty, smoked bacon jam, american and provolone cheese on an inverted bun(with a side of lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles, because he believes all burgers need veggies. This burger needed NONE OF THAT! Paired with their hand cut fries that are seasoned with a blend of salt, white pepper, and sugar? Automatic hit! I had their Burger of the Month, The Sicario Burger. Smash patty topped with chorizo, Oaxaca cheese, avocado, grilled pico, jalapenos, and a chile lime aioli. It was heaven! The chorizo crisp and craggy, which lent not only a great smoky element that mimicked bacon, but also added texture. Along with the sauce this burger was tangy, smoky, spicy, all the things this girl LOVES!! My only dig, is on the size of the burgers. They are small for the price, but are BIG in FLAVOR! If your in the Lake Highlands area and looking for a burger spot that has ambiance, flavor, and great service, Burger Schmurger it is! Check It Out! read more

Finally got to eat here after a couple of attempts. (We were deterred by long wait times when we tried to dine here before. You don't wanna see me hangry.) We went on a Wednesday eve and were quoted a 25 minute wait. Grabbed a cocktail at the bar. Super friendly bartender made some terrific old fashioneds for our wait. Restaurant has burger joint/diner-esque decor , full bar, with indoor and outdoor seating. There isn't a super good place to wait inside, but there is a bench outside. Once seated we were greeted by our friendly server who gave us the run down of the menu and popular items. Food came quickly and was hot and fresh!! These are some tasty smash burgers! Rich and meaty, nicely crusted patties, melty cheese, house made pickles and soft buns. What more could you ask for?!? The fries are hand cut and the onion strings are so crispy--both fried in beef tallow. Overall friendly staff and great food making for a great burger experience! read more

Burger Schmurger - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place was pretty good. A little pricy for what you get. I'm comparing this directly to Jakes when I say that. This was half the size of a normal Jakes burger at a more expensive price. We opted for the managers special. Basically a burger fry combo with a free coke. The service was great and the food was quick to arrive. The burgers themselves were fine I guess. A little mushy with no real chew you expect to get from a smash burger. I think the fat ratio may have been way to high for either of our liking. I just wanted to eat salad after that. Maybe the Pasadena burger which looks like their version of an in/ out burger would be more to my liking. We will give it another try. The salad looks pretty interesting. read more

Stopped by this morning right as they opened and there was a manageable line -- everyone that was there at 11AM got seated quickly and comfortably. I was hoping to pick up takeout for myself and my husband (who wasn't with me) and was happy to simply order in and transfer everything to boxes on my own, but the staff behind the bar graciously put together a to-go order for me since it was right at opening and they weren't too slammed with service yet. I really appreciated the accommodation and everyone involved was super nice about it. The gentleman behind the bar also happily filled up my reusable water bottle with ice cold water. Maybe since I came on a slightly slower Saturday (I think this is their first weekend with the new lunch hours) right at open, the takeout order was completed super fast! I think I ordered around 11:05 and food was ready within 10 minutes easily. I had to drive almost 40 minutes to get home, but when I unloaded everything most of the food was still warm and even the mozzarella sticks held up well! The only food on the lukewarm side was the order of Schmurger fries but that was definitely because I was snacking a bit from the box at red lights. Everything we tried was very tasty! The burgers are a tad on the smaller side; I'd liken them to Shake Shack in terms of volume, but honestly splitting 3 burgers between my husband and I was more than enough. My favorite was definitely the Maverick but the O'Brien was excellent (wish there was even more of a horseradish kick!) as was the OG schmurger. Schmurger fries were also great, and the fries held up well to all the toppings loaded onto them. Also really loved the mozzarella sticks; the breading wasn't too thick and stayed relatively crunchy despite the travel time. Enjoyed the marinara and ranch dipping sauces a lot too. We'll have to stop by in person one day to get the full experience, but this is certainly an excellent smashburger in the area if you can beat the lines. read more

Yall...... I need your undivided attention. This. Is. It! No frills, this place-- a piping hot good old fashioned burger ! This was 2 weeks ago and my taste buds are still tweaking! A 20 minute wait for the kiddo and I that Friday at 4:30pm...not too shabby...not a lot of space in the restaurant to wait but we made it work. Burgers are small...very small...I probably could've had 2, but the waistline has to be watched. They're fresh....you see the steam once unwrapped. The owner popped his head out occasionally...to bark at his employees, you ask? No! He was sweeping floors and wiping down tables. What a sight! LEADING BY EXAMPLE! This place gets pretty busy so get there early! They are now open for lunch in Friday's! The happy hour was probably the most memorable for me! Not only was the frozen cosmo delicious but it was the strongest $7 drink I've had in my life! **PROCEED WITH CAUTION**! Not complaining! The fries were "giving" wingstop seasoning....a sweetness to them. Delicious! The onion strings were my least favorite. Kind of limp...expected them to be crispier. I won't hold that against them! Welcome to the neighborhood! I hope you stay a while! read more

Stopped in for dinner on opening night! Such a great smashburger and worth the drive to East Dallas if you aren't local to the neighborhood. I tried the Pasadena burger (2 patties, cheese, raw onion, lettuce, tomato, pickle, special sauce) with fries (tip: order with "all the sauces" to get the 5 dipping sauces). It was delicious but bun does get soggy from wrapper. We tried the fried pickles as well, these were a skip - but they do come with a great dill ranch dipping sauce. We sat at the bar to avoid the 4 hour wait on opening day - classic diner vibes inside with great music and booths. There is a patio as well. This will be a hit in this east side area! Some service kinks and long wait times but I figure that will be sorted out quickly. Def worth a try. read more

First time here. Definitely not the last. Cute place. We started out with the poutine and fried mozzarella. The poutine was excellent! The kids said the fried mozzarella was good.

They're smaller than most but very tasty. Good service! read more

I've always heard great things about Burger Schmurger so I was so excited when they opened an actual restaurant. I really enjoyed it! The restaurant gives a very cute diner/family vibe. There's only about 10-15 tables, so we had to wait about 10 mins for our table (which wasn't awful). The staff were all super friendly and the burger itself was really good! I got the original Schmurger and it was very tasty, a good classic dive bar burger. The fries are good- just sold separately. My only "complaint" is they don't open until 3pm, so on the weekends, you can't go for lunch which is sad. Overall recommended if you're in the area ! read more

Burger Schmurger was touted as one of the best burgers by some friends. I got the original which actually reminds me of flavors of in n out. Patties, caramelized onion and American cheese pretty much without their specialty thousand island sauce. I also ordered the maverick which had their smoked bacon jam, but it didn't taste more novel, I actually preferred the original which makes sense because I love in n out's. It's a smash burger style which isn't always my favorite because it usually leaves you feeling more hungry. Overall I think it's a good smash burger but not spectacular by any means. The server was cool and attentive, we talked a while about different types of burgers and the restaurant had a unique classic theme. read more
