There's a lot of positive hype surrounding Slap Burger. So much so that I was concerned that it couldn't possibly live up to it. I am happy to say that it did in spades. The burgers are spectacular. Far and away the best "smash" type burgers I have ever had. High quality beef smashed to perfection with just the right amount of caramelization and char. Moist and incredibly flavorful. Served with meted American cheese pickles on a perfectly toasted bun. I chose to go with mac and cheese for my side and it was excellent. Tasted home made. I plan to try the fries next time as they look pretty good as well. The service was on point. I waited about 10 minutes for the prep and it was worth the small wait. The dining area appears to have been inspired by Five Guys. Red, white and black. Almost identical. The prices are very fair. I will definitely be adding Slap Burger into my regular rotation. read more

I placed an online order and it was ready in a timely manner. This was my first time and it was immaculate. I got a burger, tender and a hotdog with fries. The seasoning kind of give old bay which I have no complaint about. Their special sauce is also tasty. I suggest grab a little more if you like sauce. read more

I ordered banana pudding. It is too small to be priced at $9 and it has the strangest taste. It's not sweet at all, almost like they skipped adding sugar. It left my mouth weirdly dry, probably because it doesn't have any pudding, its 95% unsweet whipped cream, maybe 2-3 cookies, and about 3-4 slices of banana. That was strange indeed. I would not recommend getting the banana pudding. read more

This spot was getting a lot of hype on Instagram, so I came with some people from work to grab lunch. I got the double slap with onions 2 cheeses, and slap sauce. The burger patties themselves were overcooked and dry, the massive amount of cheese and sauce added some flavor to the sandwich, but it was still pretty average. I did appreciate that the onions were fried and crunch which added nice texture to the sandwich. The fries were undercooked and needed salt. read more

My family of 4 dined in on New Year's Day. There is no parking lot, so we parked on the street. (There is a pharmacy across the street, so parking isnt really a concern.) We ordered the Slap N Tender combo, Mac N Cheese & the Triple Slap Burger with beef bacon. When we ordered, the place was empty, we were the only customers. The food was ready in about 15 minutes, not too bad. The burgers were hot, but the chicken tenders & fries were just warm. The food all tasted good, the tenders were flaky, as if they've been sitting out. Their lemonades are great and their cheese sauce is amazing with the fries. Sadly, the Mac n Cheese felt as if they just put the cheese sauce on overcooked pasta, kind of disappointing. However the interior of the joint is small and clean. There is no physical bathroom available in store, you have to request a key, leave the restaurant & go into another building to access it. (-1 star) Overall, the food is mostly good, lemonades are great, priced reasonably. I'd come back. read more

Slap Burger is my favorite burger joint and the best part is their late night hours. The customer service is excellent and fast. The burgers are amazing as well as the cheesy fries. The slap burger sauce is the best around. Highly recommend stopping in. read more

Slap Burger - Single patty burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

This place is pretty much like an upbeat trendy 50s/60s style restaurant with very minimal options of food to order. I feel the simplicity along with the upbeat vibes is what makes this place attractive to the eye, especially their name. The service was fast and efficient. The food came out relatively fast as well. Everything, seems to be made in house(homemade). The fries are quite tasty alone, although combined with the smash burger patties, cheese and slap sauce the meal is quite semi filling. I thought about ordering another item, yet it can get pretty busy. Instead, just decided to go on with my day. I probably will come back sometime to try out their chicken. Overall, I felt this is a pretty neat place if you are looking for something quick and fresh to enjoy! ( : read more

Ordered food for delivery. It came quickly. I got the Slap n Tender combo. The burgers are just ok. The slap sauce was just ok too. The fries were nice and tasty and the chicken tenders were very tender. The meat for the burger and chicken were both kind of bland. I guess it wasn't for me. read more

Food was bland at best. Burgers are extremely cold, dry, and one was s. The saving grace was the presentation of the banana pudding though extremely small for nine dollars. read more

Great quality food. First time going in there last night And I thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was cranking out orders. Please have patience with these folks as they are busy. It's worth the wait. I purchased their double cheeseburger it was juicy and cheesy. I took my time with this burger. I also bought their loaded chicken Mac and cheese Nashville spicy style. Phew lawwwd. I can still taste it. I will definitely go back. Next time I'll sit inside and eat there. read more

***3 1/2 stars*** The name definitely grabs your attention. I stumbled across a recent positive review of this establishment on Friday morning, and since it's less than 10 minutes from my home, decided to give it a shot for lunch. I'm not THAT familiar with this area but knew that this might as well have been Clifton; the border with Paterson is literally yards away, and this area in my experience is a little rundown but pretty safe compared to other neighborhoods. It's also fairly easy to get to off 46, though there are a few busy intersections that require some patience. I parked in the CVS parking lot across the street; the crosswalk nearby IS a little rough - it hasn't been painted in ages and the walk/don't walk signal is impossible to see when it's sunny so I just crossed my fingers and relied on the actual traffic lights instead. I'm still here to write this review, so my strategy was successful but I'd be hyper vigilant crossing the street. It's a pretty small interior; I'm sure they rely heavily on take-out orders, but there were a few tables and also a countertop running along the wall to the left with stool seating. It's pretty much the same color/decorating scheme as a lot of burger-centric fast-food establishments, with a reliance on white/red (similar to Checkers). I was greeted warmly by the guy at the counter (everyone was very hospitable and pleasant to me throughout the experience) and only had to wait maybe 20 seconds to give my order. I went with a double plain burger, a side of fries and banana pudding. The burger is very solid for the genre - it's similar to a Smashburger product though not QUITE as good as that. I thought the edges were a little dry/charred, but I could see that being a positive for some people. Most of the burger was juicy and flavorful. I don't have a lot of experience with halal burgers so I don't know the appropriate comps for that but it was decent for fast-food, and maybe even slightly above average. The fries had some nice seasoning to them (the guy brought ketchup over but it wasn't needed) but some of them were too soggy for me - I'm more of a crispy fry connoisseur. The banana pudding was interesting - it's NOT a standard dessert option really anywhere, and the only place I've had a significant sample size of it is a literal banana pudding establishment in Jersey City (Baonanas, which is the gold standard for me). It was good, but had some areas for improvement. It was a little too light/mousse-y for me, if that makes sense - I personally prefer a banana pudding that's a bit denser. The taste of the actual pudding was excellent, and I really enjoyed the soft nilla wafer inclusion, which was interspersed throughout the cup. That's an area where I think they're superior to Baonanas, which uses crunchy nilla wafers, and only one small one on top, if memory serves. The actual bananas were the weak link. They were super tasteless and seemed to be in a specific, lower layer of the cup. I would have mixed them in more because I didn't even realize they were there at first. To their credit, the staff went out of their way to confirm that I wanted the pudding served with the rest of my meal, instead of being kept refrigerated for a few extra minutes - nice touch. The prices are fantastic too, which I rarely get to say in this day and age. The whole meal cost less than $20 and included a side and dessert. I was particularly blown away by the side of fries being $2 or $3 - and it was a decent portion to boot. I'm in Little Falls, so it's tough to justify a trip all the way over here when I have a slightly better product at Smashburger, but this IS definitely cheaper than that. It's still a recommend, and I would have zero issue stopping by again if I were in the neighborhood - the big selling point to me was the service, the great intangible. read more

Slap Burger - Plain burger, fries & banana pudding. - Burgers Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Best halal burger on the planet and a great price. This place gets packed!! You can tell so many people love the food here. There is limited seating with a counter on the left and about three tables on the right, so you might not be able to sit down and eat there. The fries portion is what surprised me the most. I thought they would give half the size of the fries for the amount of money you pay (like $3) and they gave as you can see an entire container. It was amazing. The burger is so good and the service is fast. I will be back. Love that it is halal. read more

I have to say this is one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. The beef was juicy and flavorful, their slap sauce is delicious at $8.50 for a double is a bit pricey compared to comparable places but after you've had two you won't think to much about it anymore. Their fried chicken looks amazing as well and will try that next time read more

Slap Burger is a spin off of smashed burger with halal meats and some Middle Eastern twist. 1) Got the triple burger, which I highly recommend. 2) The Nashville chicken sandwich is tasty. Also recommend. 3) The loaded beef fries were excellent. Tell them to make it spicy, it will be way better. read more

Service was good the man behind the counter taking orders was very nice. Let's talk about the burger i ordered a double cheeseburger it had pickles and secret sauce!!!! Hint SECRET SAUCE supposed to be secret!!! They must've got this recipe off TikTok cause I just had the same sauce at 4 hot chicken places already the Cheese was cheap and looked like melted plastic did that stop me from eating it Uhhhhh no but in my defense the burger was 9$ so I was eating it regardless and it was good !!but line down the block good uhhh NO ..... and $6 for a lemonade I expect it to be fresh REAL Lemonade this was some crap in a bottle that needed to be diluted....it was so sweet I asked him to pour half out and add water I couldn't drink it even after that .... Will I go back sure but I'm in no rush I can make something this simple at home !!! read more

Food is too good love it is wil eat from there everyday morning noon and night it's that good

This is a steak and shake ripoff with much higher prices. $9 for a 3 ounce burger and $5 for under cooked fries. No thanks.

We came to try this last night after hearing a lot about it here and there. We both had the double burger to go. The place is very small so there isn't a lot of space inside to sit and eat. The burger was tasty, but the double isn't very big, so next time we will definitely order the triple. I would definitely recommend the triple if you're an average eater. They did a very good job on the fried. They were tasty and crisp. There is no parking lot. It's all street parking. We got parking a few doors down. So if it's a busy time of day you may need to walk a bit. read more

Yum yummy yum yum! This cheese burger was the best burger I've ever had. Some may say Egh. I say if you live in Jersey you're just not living if you haven't had a cheese burger from this place. I don't care for French fries much but I do at this place. The service was great and quick. It's a little cheaper if you pay cash. Found out about these guys on instagram. Had a banana pudding dessert. It wasn't super sweet but was very delicious. They stay open pretty late. Came here on a Saturday afternoon. I'm definitely coming back. This place gives good vibes, happy tummy and big smiles when you're not chewing. Enjoyed coming here. So many gems in this area. read more

They won't be there for long 1- no parking. Parking is a hassle had to park around the corner a block away just to pick up my food 2- food is way over priced . Paid $10 for a double burger the burger was extra small very thin meat .,. They deceive you by using thick bread If I am paying 10 for a burger then it needs to be worth it 3- $5 for a small cup of fries again very overpriced The service is mid the guys in the back should at least acknowledge customers and say hi if they are not really doing anything did not feel welcoming Honest review respectfully just go to shake shack or habit where it's convenient and you actually receive what you pay for read more

Had the Burger,Chicken Tenders and Fires Combo.... TOTALLY recommend this place...will definitely be back

Ok , to start out let me just say that the kid that took my order was so sweet and the other customers (there were sooooo many) were very helpful. Even though it's a little wait for your food , it was worth it! Everything was delicious...especially the chicken with the Slap sauce! If you have time to wait, I highly recommend trying this place out! You will not be disappointed! read more

I got the double slap burger and it was delicious! The burger to bun ratio was perfect, as well as the amount of toppings. The burger was perfectly cooked and so juicy. To compliment it I got an order of cheese fries that also did not disappoint! The cheese was perfectly melted and it wasn't too much, so I got to enjoy the taste of the fries. The food was 10/10 especially for the prices. The service and staff was great! Everyone was friendly and very accommodating. This place became very popular quickly so there are long waits. Anywhere between 1-2 hours, I recommend placing a pick up order and even then I waited an hour but it's understandable seeing they were fulfilling hundreds of orders. It was definitely worth it and I would wait again to eat here. It is a small and quant joint but it has a retro vibe going for it. I'd love to come back in when it isn't so packed of people waiting on orders so I can enjoy the dining experience. So happy to have a found a delicious burger spot that's halal! read more

Pretty trash taste like a at home burger and the workers where pretty rude and didn't seem like they wanted to be there, cars in Ramsey is better all day long, the burgers made me sick read more

I've never need as speechless after eating something this good in a long time. as you find yourself walking to the location, the smell that permeates, the environment has a slight smell of seaside heights in the summer with all the food grilling all over the place. The place is small, maybe six tables and some stools. The gentleman behind the counter are extremely nice. Give them your order and wait a little bit longer than you have to but the place is extremely busy, I wonder why. If you ever had a beef or lamb Shawarma you will recognize the flavor of the meat which is not overwhelming it is just lightly seasoned the meat literally melts in your mouth. Heads up, the burgers aren't massive they're not big like other chains.. they are just the right size if you eat one more, your bellies gonna tell you that you're a jerk. The fries were phenomenal the fries were phenomenal. This is definitely a 100% return visit from anywhere you're coming from. It is worth the trip. Go hungry and leave happy. ‍ read more

Everything was amazing. Food was great, drinks are stellar, and the guy taking our order was very courteous.

This shit is slappin! Came home and slapped the burger, chicken and fries box combo, and the Nashville chicken sandwich down while extremely faded. The slap sauce is like a fake In n out sauce that's leans more on the picklely and ketchup side on the flavor pallet but definitely compliments their food. One of the best smash burgers I have had in the east coast. Don't go to shake shack... just go here. Good luck with the parking. CVS has a tow truck on stand by across the street. Don't do it. read more

Ive heard this hole-in-the-wall joint is a halal clone of in-n-out. Like in-n-out, the place was packed late at night, with an entire row of cars double parking outside. There was inadequate amount of seating and the was little consistency with the wait times for food. I ordered a triple, which I found to be way too greasy, but it tasted decent. I was surprised they didn't give you condiments like onions, lettuce or tomato. By default they give you only a pickle and cheese, but who wants only that? The meat didn't have that great of a flavor and it made me feel very bloated afterwards. I also ordered the loaded beef fries and cheese which I think was their take on In-n-out's animal style fries. I found it infinitely less enjoyable simply because it was just two greasy burger patties over fries with sauce, nothing more. This place wasn't my cup of tea, wouldn't come back to be honest. The concept has potential but the execution is crude and uncreative. However if you want that greasy, halal burger, this might be one of the few solid options for you in Northern New Jersey. read more

New spot but they got something special over here! The line was super long on a Saturday night but that's understandable. Plus, they were super apologetic about the wait and even offered candy for those waiting. And the food....definitely one of the best smashburgers in NJ, without a doubt. Very flavorful and well-made. The sauce is EXTREMELY flavorful and unique too, I loved it on everything. Plus, the prices aren't ridiculous too. Overall, great experience and I will definitely be back! read more
