We stopped by Coastal Smash for a late lunch and were glad we did. Since it's co-located with Sun Lab Brewing, we ordered at the food truck and grabbed a table inside while we waited. The staff was friendly, and they brought our food right to our table. I ordered the Haystack Double with fries, described as two fresh 3-ounce beef patties with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, pickles, special sauce, and a toasted brioche bun. It arrived hot and fresh with perfectly crispy smashed patties and plenty of flavor. The fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. Great food, friendly service, and a convenient setup. We'll definitely be back. read more

Awesome burgers, very helpful when ordering. Always a stop when vacationing. Definitely recommend this.

Good burger, but nothing really out of this world. Dropped by as they were across from the baseball stadium. The fries were very basic. And they do my biggest pet peeve: predictive tipping. Give me great service first and then I'll decide on the tip. read more

Fantastic smash burgers! Paired with a brew from the neighboring Sub Lab - you can't go wrong. It hit the SPOT!

Best burger in town! Hands down. Finally somewhere that knows how to properly season a burger. Completely fresh ingredients and piping hot on delivery. It smells so good. I ate it out in the car and couldn't wait to get home. They give a generous amount of french fries with your order. The special seasoning on them is fantastic. Friendly fast service from an extremely clean truck. Will definitely be back. read more

You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The hamburger was the size of my 30# dogs head!

You cannot go wrong and the service is wonderful! read more

I was referred to this place for a good hamburger. I am so happy. I ordered a double smash with bacon and cheese. All burgers come with fries. The burger was delicious and juicy. Large burgers for smash. The fries are skinny crispy fries. The owner is very friendly and helpful. They have many choices on the menu. You can sit outside or go into the brewery next door. Hidden gem in Bradenton. read more

Ordered the Haystack & Onion Rings. Wow! That is a cheeseburger in paradise. The beef was perfectly crispy, the blend on condiments was delicious (note, we subbed the garlic aioli-YUM!) Onion Rings were hot & fresh and the best, they were perfectly salted. We'll be back! read more

I can't express how amazing these burgers are. Pair with some garlic fries game over. Their "normal" smash burgers definitely smash the competition(see what I did there ).But what makes this place so special is they have a ton of burgers that are thinking way out of the box when it comes to toppings. My son had the Yolked up double and I had the Kimchi Smash. Both were tell your whole family and all your friends good. Run don't walk and get you a burger. read more

Very tasty. Smash burger sliders would have been better without the sauce. I think mustard and pickle would have been better. The onion rings were outstanding! read more

I finally had a chance to try these burgers and all I can say is these are the smash burgers you've been craving! The staff is great and the burgers are even better. They have some great combinations and my list of things to try is slowly growing! We had a Ripple burger which was cooked to perfection. Simple, crispy, juicy, and delicious. Also had the Island Smash which was a flavor explosion! We'll definitely be back. Nice little spot with outdoor seating and if you want a beer the brewery is right there! read more

Wow! Absolute burger perfection! Mark and I stopped by Magnanimous Brewing down In Bradenton to hit up Coastal Smash. We both rolled with a quad smash. Mine was an Oklahoma onion burger with bacon. Food came up quick and smelled amazing. This is my ideal smash burger. Lacy edges, perfectly seasoned, and juicy center. Probably one of the best burgers I have had in a while. Highly recommended! read more

Hands down one of the best smash burgers I have had in a minute!!!! It was cooked perfectly, the portion was generous and I absolutely enjoyed every bite! The menu was large and had a lot of options. I think they had a burger for everyone and every taste! I am really picky with burgers and this one really hit the mark. Also the fries were crisp and delicious as well. I am so glad we happened to find this place and got to check them out when we were visiting. We already said we will be back next time we are in the area!!!! Highly recommend if you are a burger lover in the Bradenton area you check them out! read more

Glorious! Was searching for best burgers in the Sarasota area and found this place at the top of Yelp. Made the drive from Sarasota to check it out for lunch and was not disappointed. Although I appreciate unique burger creations, I tend to stick with a bacon cheese. I don't care for sauces so I opted out for the special sauce, and it was perfection. I believe they say they are 3 oz patties. Not sure if it was my lucky day or if they just have a generous patty formation, but the double stack had to be a 1/2 lb if not more. Incredibly flavorful beef, but yet no greasy drippings. Bun stayed intact for the entire consumption - does that sound like a minor detail? No, that's insane. Double smash, American, bacon, LTOP - and not one casualty. Cooked to perfection - crispy edges, but tender. And the fries - 10 outta 10. Didn't need salt or pepper on either and usually I do. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. And I'll tell you what, you think you can name a better burger in the area, I'll join you at both places, and I'll pay if you can prove me wrong. read more

I came here and posted pictures the other day, because their food pictures looked so awesome. Came back tonight and I'm waiting on my burger and I will finish up my review when I get home. Understand that this will not be fresh fresh since I've got a 25 minute drive, but I should be able to tell a lot. I'm excited! read more

This is the best burger place I've ever been too. You will never have a better burger. There's not a single bad item in the menu just 10/10 burgers. Worth every penny! read more

The BEST smash burger we've ever had anywhere! Lots of choices and we've never been disappointed. Always hot & delicious...with the patty's lace peeking out from the bun. The fries are perfect, too! read more

A super cute food truck that sits at SunLab Brewing. Food was absolutely amazing, coming from someone who doesn't often eat burgers and usually subs for chicken or turkey burgers. I got one of their specialty burgers, the caprese with lettuce added. It was light but still juicy and delicious. It wasn't heavy or greasy, which is why I usually don't like burgers, so I was very happy with this meal. 5 stars all around for me. My boyfriend got the cheesy double and he thoroughly enjoyed it! He is a picky eater though, so he subbed the special sauce for ketchup, got it with only American cheese, and took out the jalapeños. With all that being said, they customized his order for him with no issues and he loved every bite. Staff was a pleasure and even brought our food to us, which we weren't expecting, but obviously aren't complaining. We did forget to leave a tip though, we both have backgrounds in servicing and talked about it when food was brought, then completely forgot, so I think a tip jar could be helpful for them :)) read more

Overpriced. I hot the Mac special. I need less bread less lettuce and more meat. I thought were the Food Truck specializing in fresh hamburgers. I could get a good size portion of hamburger. That worth the price and not worth the drive. If I wanted to drive a half an hour to get a burger, I would go to Venice to a place if I can remember called burger, brewery, or hamburger brewery or something like that. That was the best hamburger I've had in my life. read more

The BEST after-beach burger you'll find. 5 stars across the board - customer service, food, everything! AND you can take your burger and eat inside the brewery that the truck is parked outside of! Will definitely be coming back read more
