I was surprised when walked and saw a sign pointing to sma.sha burger and when I mean surprised I mean surprised i never seen that location. But I'm honestly so happy I got to eat here it's a brand new location near focal brewery but wow the food was so so tasty. I got a cheeseburger burger with everything and I got tallow fries honestly it was my first time having sma. Sha and it's so cool to have a burger joint right next to one of my favorite breweries in long island city. The burger was juicy the pnp sauce was so so good and or price wasn't even bad and it was so good it's very hard to miss tho most of the time they have a sign out so it should help you. On top of the food being delicious affordable the service and the staff from my experience have been friendly the restaurant is extremely clean the interior is beautifu. The restaurant is currently having problems with cash payments so make easier for everybody and take your card. If you are in long island city and want a nice beer go to focal and start a tab and then go buy a burger and some tallow fries I highly recommend. read more

No frills smash burger spot. I wouldn't say the best I've ever had, but pretty darn good. Note that the "grill smash" has an inside out bun. We're were confused on the difference, but noticed when ordering on the kiosk screen. I did like that they had pictures of the menu items when ordering. That helped with decision making. Fries were old school and delicious. You order from a kiosk, then grab and go. Prices were comparable as well. read more

Not a bad west coast burger that reminds me of Shake Shack, but just....missing something. Perhaps it's all the beef tallow? The burger is rich and juicy, and cooked to order. It's a bit greasy but still flavorful. I wanted to like it more than I did, and I can't quite put my finger on it. The space is modern and minimalist, with some tasteful plants as decorations around the eating space. There is not too many tables but if you go off peak hours you will find a seat. The service is solid and efficient. read more

Solid burger. I wish it was thicker. I also enjoyed the fries. They taste like McDonald's fries but are better. Service was friendly and efficient. You put your order in a screen. The store is small but clean and laid back store. There is more seating outside. read more

Sma.sha - Burger abd fries - Burgers Near Me - Long Island City, New York

You know this is actually a nice treat. I had no idea this place existed. They've been open since September 2025. The price of a buger is 9.95 w/o fries. The fries cost $5.49, sweet potato fries are 5.95 and loaded are$ 8.49. I love that they have the Mexican cola here because that's all I can drink. The inside is so pretty and definitely has a section that is IG worthy. Theres a cute wall that has plants on one side as you walk in. I love the fact that the tables are silver. I think they might have beer eventually theres some nozzles in the front by the ordering computer. From what I can tell the kitchen looks really clean. We came in on a snowy day so it wasn't packed at all. I also needed to charge my phone so I felt good about that. The plus is they are right next to focal. Everyone knows a nice burger and a beer is clutch. ::bathroom alert:: Super clean, they had nice soap too. I appreciated a clean bathroom. The customer service was really sweet. They explained how to order using the pc screen when you want in. The music was really chill too. I appreciated it and had a great time here. read more

We stopped by here to try out their burgers. We opted for the double cheeseburger and added on some jalapeños. We also got a cookies & cream milkshake. The burger was oily but so tasty. The jalapeños gave it a good kick. The milkshake was thick and sweet, complementing the savory burger well. We ordered through InKind but wouldn't do so in the future (we realized every item is $2 more on InKind!). The staff was very friendly and noticed our food was coming out late and helped us out, which we appreciated. read more

Sma.sha - Cheeseburger and cookies & cream milkshake - Burgers Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Tucked away in this industrial cut of Long Island City Sma.sha was a delight to encounter. With a view of the 59th street bridge and olive green ceilings. This spot will satisfy your smashed burger desires. With a menu that gets to the point. The smashed burgers were perfectly thin and tasted great. Definitely recommend a double if you're looking to stack. The milkshakes come with the cherry on top and only have the cookies and cream and strawberry. The French fries are nice a crispy and the sweet potato fries are good as well. There are no cashiers so you have to order on the touch pad or online. The employees are very kind and bathroom is clean. Check it out if you're in LIC. read more

4.5 stars the burgers here are really good I've visited a few burgers places in the nyc area and this place is definitely top 3 the sauce is similar to a Big Mac sauce this is a great spot to get a smash burger read more

This is a nice sit down smash burger restaurant . The restaurant has a nice modern design and like another reviewer mentioned , numerous charging ports etc to help keep you powered up. It gets full marks on that aspect, but not on their food . I was not impressed with their cheeseburger and neither the sweet potato fries . Breaking down the burger , if first say the bun was so frickin soggy. It was as though they over-buttered the bun and the bread ended up being a virtual non-factor really to the overall taste of the burger . The jalapeño wasn't tamed sufficiently and instead of it adding a little heat it went overboard and just didn't mesh well with the overall burger unlike another place , KO burger in canal street area for eg . The patty was cooked well and wider than the sandwich so I'll give some credit for that and their sauce helped and didn't hurt the overall flavor I'll rate the burger a 3/5 . As for the fries , it was cooked in the all recent craze , "beef tallow" . The tallowed fries weren't very crispy and had no seasoning etc and honestly I could've done without it . For the amount of smashed burger spots out there I'd rate this middle of the pack if not lower and for all the ambiance and great service , I just can't imagine ever revisiting . read more

Absolutely delicious. I love the beef here. It is very fresh. It's tucked away in LIC. Wonderful place

Yo, I love their burgers. They are just the perfect burgers for the perfect spot in the perfect town.

Cool spot to have stumbled across as the other places around it are worth coming back to and just hanging out there is nice. Ordered the smash burger, fried chicken sandwich, regular fries and sweet potato fries. They had some seats outside so you order and can eat it right there picnic style. They utilize kiosk style order but we ordered online to save time. The food was prepared before the estimated time and looked like it was sitting there for a bit. No worries just wish they would have provided accurate times. Due to this the food temperature was not ideal and affected the taste and texture. The burger was good but to be honest nothing unique about this and similar to shake shack with some Big Mac sauce. The chicken sandwich got soggy and was a mess to eat as the bread melted off. The fries were ok and wish they were warmer but even so the texture and taste were just ok. All in all happy to try it, find a cool place to hang out and will explore the other side places in the area. read more

Ordered Ubereats they forgot my 2 orders of fries. Service fee and delivery fee and time is not refundable. Burgers are good but overpriced. Beef Patty is paper thin. read more

Stopped by on a whim and was seriously impressed. The burger was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly how I ordered it. The bun was soft but held everything together (which matters more than people think). Fries were crispy, not greasy, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back when the burger craving hits. read more

Simple and delicious burgers and fries. Enough said. Service was quick and accommodating. They even allowed my dog to come inside

Great smashburger option here in LIC! Does not taste overall greasy or heavy. The sauce is yummy as well!

Really good burgers. Not as greasy as other smash burger spots. Def coming back after a climbing sesh

Burgers here are great, and the beef tallow fries are super simple but really tasty. I usually like thinner patties, but the double is perfect. They're still in their soft opening, and I'm excited for when they fully open and add milkshakes. Definitely something this area needed. Even better they use seed free oil and I can tell the difference as I don't feel sluggish the next day. Plus they use halal meat so it doesn't have additives. read more

Sma.sha - Double smash burger, fries, coke - Burgers Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Went to Smasha in LIC and I'm not exaggerating--this spot is real. Burgers smashed proper, crispy edges, juicy inside, no nonsense. But the sleeper hit? The beef tallow fries. Different level. Crispy, rich, actually taste like fries used to taste before everyone started cutting corners. Everything came out hot, staff knew what they were doing, whole place felt locked in. This isn't hype food, it's execution. If you know, you know. And almost forgot the place looks very clean and I like the aesthetics. read more

Good burgers, fresh ingredients, cooked well, good service from staff. Clean restaurant overall. Would recommend to others

Nice smashburger place in LIC! Also have chicken sandwiches fried in beef tallow. Must try next time!

Satisfying but somewhat on the small side. I had two burgers and two fries and still felt left wanting.

New place by Focal Point. Fantastic smash burgers. Inside seating is very no frills but it's the food that is really special. Nice crispy edges on the meat and soft Martin's potato buns. I'm a fan of the burger sauce too. read more

So delicious! You can get it spicy by adding jalapenos too. Tastes like in-n-out burgers. Highly recommend

Great Smash Burger. This is one of the real smash high quality burgers. Not like the commercial spots ("smash burger") this is a thin thin patty always go double patty. A bit heavy on the onions for me but i just took them off next time. The pickle and sauce are heavenly. I also added the sweet potato fries and a mexican coke. The burger comes on that great martin potato roll that's toasted. so delicious. Great small restaurant and nice vibes in LIC. Staple for a quick lunch on burger and doesn't feel too heavy either! read more
