My husband loved the bacon cheeseburger - real bacon and perfectly prepared . Just go here . But don't sleep on the brat - if you love kraut , it's waiting for you and not in your dreams !!

Unfortunately the food itself was a little uninspired; I got scrambled eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash, and an English muffin, and everything just tasted a little off, like maybe not enough salt or not enough butter, not really sure what it was. It wasn't bad, just didn't wow me either. Still it was a great time and served as a great meetup place. If family wanted to come back I wouldn't mind, but I probably wouldn't suggest it.

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.

Great menu and great food. We stopped for breakfast and totally enjoyed it. For us, we did Eggs, Home Fries (Potatoes), and Toast which sounds easy but as you know - people mess it up. Not here, the amazing staff was super friendly, and working hard. The food came out fast and hot. Tasted great. We are looking forward to returning when we are back in area for lunch or dinner.
