Ended up here for a double smash and fries and left mostly impressed. The fries are the star of the show perfectly crispy, well seasoned, exactly what you want. The burger is solid, good crust on the patty and a nicely toasted brioche bun, but the seasoning competes a little too much with the beef rather than letting the meat shine. Slightly oily too. For a smash burger the beef should be the focus and it gets a little lost here. $19 for a double and fries is reasonable for the quality, not a steal but fair. Only real complaint beyond the burger seasoning is cans only, no fountain drinks, which feels like an oversight for a burger spot. Would come back if I was in the area.

Recently I was craving a good burger, and after hearing about a new smash burger place that opened…read moreclose to where we live, my wife and I decided to give it a try. We made the short drive to Smash Daddy's, just outside of Orient, Ohio. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full. It's not a very big place--maybe 10 to 12 small tables--and from the outside it looks like a house that was converted into a restaurant. Don't let the size fool you, though. It's small in space but huge on flavor. Smash Daddy's is set up as counter service. You order from the menu board at the register, grab a seat, and they bring your food out when it's ready. The menu is fairly simple, which I actually like. You can build your own burger or choose from their signature burgers. They also offer grilled all-beef hot dogs with different toppings, and their only side is fair-style fresh-cut fries. I ordered the Smash Daddy Burger, which comes with two smash patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles, and their house-made Smash Sauce on a grilled brioche bun. My wife ordered the same burger, just without the onions. I also ordered one of their grilled hot dogs because I wanted to try it. It came on a split-top Texas toast bun, and I topped it with mustard, ketchup (yes, I know... I like ketchup on my hot dogs!), relish, and chopped onions. We also shared an order of the fresh-cut fries. The fries were excellent--thin, crispy, flavorful, and the portion was easily big enough for two people to share. The hot dog had a great grilled flavor, the bun was warm and soft, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. But the real star of the meal was the smash burger. The patties had that perfect crispy edge, the grilled brioche bun was soft with just a little crunch, and every bite was packed with flavor. Everything worked together perfectly. It was also a very satisfying size--I was completely full when I finished. When we ordered, we met Teresa at the counter. She was incredibly friendly, explained the menu, offered suggestions, and never stopped moving. She was taking orders, delivering food, cleaning tables, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She mentioned they've only been open about nine months, and judging by the steady line of customers the entire time we were there, they're doing something right. They also carry frozen treats from Whit's, which is a nice bonus if you're looking for dessert. My only minor complaints are the prices. Drinks are limited to canned soda or bottled water, and a can of soda costs $2. While that's not outrageous, it does seem a little high. The burgers are also on the expensive side. My Smash Daddy Burger was $13 by itself, fries were $5, and the hot dog was $5. Our total came to about $42 for two burgers, one shared order of fries, one hot dog, and drinks. That's a little more than I expected, especially when you compare it to what you can get at a sit-down restaurant. That said, the food quality was excellent, the portions were generous, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Will I be back? Without a doubt. Just be prepared for the prices so you don't experience a little sticker shock when you order. If you're looking for one of the best smash burgers in the area, Smash Daddy's is definitely worth checking out.

I tried Da' Meatball and since it was a la carte, I also ordered two Spicy Gyro Rolls with Hotziki dipping sauce. Wow! Watching them cook on Triple D and tasting the food for myself is a whole different experience than what I was expecting. Sure, the food looks good and it's interesting to even toss the marinara on the griddle, but it's mind-blowing in action! It's not a huge restaurant, but it is comfortable. I had a great conversation with a former Air Force Officer turned Firefighter. Bonus: I got to meet Andrew from the show and tell him why I was there! Don't forget about Loops; you have to give them a try!

I am from Chicago so I KNOW Italian beef. Loops "claims"…read morethey make Chicago style Italian beef but it's not true. 1) the bread is all wrong. They use like sub sandwich bread. You're supposed to use Italian bread which is slightly crusty outside and a little chewy inside. They literally just use sandwich bread shaped into a sub and it just soaks up the juice and is mush. 2) the Italian beef should be slow roasted and shaved paper thin and fall apart. The one I had was thick and tough. Was like a roast beef sandwich with warm juice on it. 3) giardinara completely wrong as well Anyways like I said, I was HIGHLY disappointed at Loops. 100% NOT Chicago Italian beef. Sorry.

Points!! I stopped at 2pm on a Wednesday and there were only a few customers and myself there. I order The Classic wit Wiz, fries and a Truth IPA. My food came out quickly in a to go bag. I was eating in but no biggie. The positives: the chopped steak, Wiz and onion combo is South St Philly worthy for real. The fries were a unique shape and were delicious. The music!! I heard Guy- I like, The System- Don't disturb this Groove, Christopher Williams-Don't wake Me... I was transported back to my days growing up in Pittsburgh. My only negative: That bun! Dry as Camel heels. To be fair, I ate it as soon as it came out and when I unwrapped it, a lot of the filling spilled out. If I had got it to go, the bun would've absorbed some of the cheese, steak and onion goodness and I'm sure it would've been juicier after 10 min. I'll take it to go next time. So all in all, I think I prefer Marlow's over the other Cheese steak giant in Columbus (as far as the authentic Philly cheesesteak). The other is great as a gourmet version of a classic. It all depends on what you are in the mood for. Great job Marlow's bringing Philly to CBus!!
