    This place is a little hard to find - there is no seating area - pick up only. The person working there was very friendly and helpful when we didn't really know what we were doing with the self ordering station. Burger was pretty good. Huge and smashed party with good crunch. Good flavor. They didn't have Diet Coke so I tried Coke 0. Not bad actually. I'd try this place again if in the area.

    AWESOME!! Definitely worth checking out. Me and a friend both get the diner. One of the best burgers I've ever had. They travel well too. Was about 30min from getting the order to eating it at home and the bun was still perfect. Cant wait to try the mushroom burger.

    The fries, crispy outside creamy inside !!!

    This is a next gen food service, tiny take out place & delivery only. Order online or at the place. We were in the area for a wedding & needed convenient lunch. Well to our surprise. Besides Smash Burgers, they also do amazing Cheesesteaks under the Willy name, fresh rolls from Philly (amoroso) delicious and ample meat for the money. Some of the best fries ever & really super onion rings. Easy parking, nice people & YOU GOTTA GO HERE Check out the pix.

    Waffle fries! Delish

    Yelp reviews helped me decide to give it a try: absolutely worth it! Easy to order in house at the kiosk. We took the diner burger, a classic burger and the melt. They were all mouthwatering and delicious. My lunch dates agreed the waffle fries were better than chick fil a! The onion rings were fresh and maintained crunch even 30 mins later. No deflating. Service was fantastic I ordered for a business lunch but will certainly bring my family here when we come do a beach day next month.

    !!!BEST BURGER ALERT BEST FRIES ALERT!!! I am not joking, this is not a drill. Legit hands down the best fries in town. There's a fry stand at Smorgasburg LA that double-fries their fries in beef tallow and it always has an over 30 min line - this place is better than that. They've got that satisfying crisp on the outside, with the soft flakiness of fresh potato on the inside. Fantastic seasoning to boot. Got ranch on the side for dipping and it was also great - creamy and tastes homemade. But can we talk about the burgers?? We've got some great food spots in Oside but we've been lacking on the smashburger front. Smash & Grab came in and said 'not only am I going to deliver you a smashburger, it's going to the BEST ONE AROUND. I am a huge fan of smashburger and have tried them all along the west coast. This is up there - truly one of the best. You will be hard pressed to find one better. The patties are very generous, perfectly seasoned and with that immaculate lace edge crisp you want in a quality smash burger. The sauce and cheese is perfectly proportioned to the ratio of beef patties, and the bun is fresh and soft. I tried the classic and the diner style and both were a solid 10/10. Definitely going back for the bbq bacon, I just KNOW that one is going to be amazing too.

    Classic burger and onion rings.

    First time here amd it will not be the last. We parked and lifted the tailgate to sit and enjoy these master pieces of burgers! They were seasoned to perfection and smashed so thin. The onion rings and fries were also delicious! Tip: this is not a stand alone restaurant. This location is in an office park, I think it may be considered as a ghost kitchen. And you have to order ONLINE to their location so please pay attention when ordering. UPDATE: we bought an extra burger for later in the day(Burger Melt). OMG! This burger melt was better than the burgers we had earlier in the day. If you're familiar with Waffle House Patty melt burger; this one is 1K times better.

    First impression: The largest smashburgers I've ever had! I'm so used to my smashburgers being small--kinda like a slider. smash & dash burgers are HUGE. Very crispy edges. Biggest surprise: The large servings of fries/onion rings! I assumed they would be small and ordered 3...between two people, we couldn't even finish two. All very crispy, very good (amazingly, they didn't get soggy in our stapled takeout bag) Negatives: Kinda, really expensive. Sauces are extra and $1/ea. Ouch. The drinks are grocery store cans of soda that cost $2.50/ea (get the combo and the can of soda is only a $1.) For the portions I got, I'm not that mad about it, but dropping $51 on two burgers and three fries, and 4 sauces is definitely not what I was expecting. Ambiance: Pretty lame, honestly. smash & dash is tucked away in a business park. You can eat your food on the sidewalk or at your car in the parking lot. I wish it was a legit food truck or food truck park. Tip: smash & dash is inside "North County Food Hub," which seems to be a ghost kitchen of sorts with multiple restaurants inside. Initially, I felt duped as I wanted to support a small business, but it seems there are real restaurants with real owners (I hope, haha)

    I wish there were more stars to give!! Heard about this place on Instagram, and had to give it a try. It lived up to the advertisement! Super fresh and crispy fries, and a good amount too! The service was super convenient, I ordered online through the website (super easy) and scheduled a pickup time and it was ready on the spot. Two things though: 1. This location is so new that if you order online it will default to the SDSU location. So just give them a call and the OWNER picked up immediatley and said he's working to fix it and had the food made for me in oceanside!! Awesome guy. 2. The business is in an industrial park and the sign above the door says "north county food hub" so it's a tiny bit confusing. But once you're in you'll know it! You can also order and pickup there but note there is no seating area aside from a few small plastic tables and chairs outside.

    Fried cheese smash
    J E.

    Great food, good dude with customer service (thanks Jake). They don't make smash burgers like this where I'm at. The thin crispy patties, spread out for more crisp, the option for the fried cheese. Very nice. Fries were nice and crisp but not greasy. Onion rings were big, good batter, and the onions were well cooked. Overall a great experience for us visiting from Northern CA. Glad we came across this spot, well worth the little drive from our hotel into the business area of town.

    Sourdough smash melt
    Michael H.

    This is a neat little spot that's tucked away in a corporate area. I ordered the sourdough smash melt. It was ready pretty quickly. The guy who brought it out was very professional, and the melt tasted amazing. Will definitely stop again if I'm in the area.

    Regular smashed burger with extra grilled onions.

    Food was good and tasted high quality but I would say the price was a bit over. Food best ordered for pickup and not in person.

Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is small and usually pretty full, so you either have to get lucky or street park farther down and walk over. The line can get long too, but this time we waited about 30 to 40 minutes total from getting in line to receiving our food, which felt pretty reasonable considering how busy they were. The staff was also friendly and welcoming throughout. On our first visit, we got the Tanner Prime Burger with a single patty and left wishing we had tried the double. This time we finally did, and it completely changed the experience. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, and the double patty makes the burger significantly heavier and much more filling. I still enjoyed it, but personally, I actually preferred the balance of the single patty and will probably go back to that next time. The Tallow Fries were also great, with a really flavorful, crispy texture. I may have gotten a little ahead of myself with the double patty this time, but Tanner's is still a spot I really enjoy and look forward to coming back to.

Our waiter was pretty cool, although his name is escaping me now. We ordered a few appetizers, wings, steak taquitos, and the pretzel. We noshed on these before we ordered our meals of bison burger, and two single patty smash burgers. Not sure if it's because it was around 7:30/8 o'clock at night, but the food was not up to par according to the two that I was with, who frequent this place. The steak taquitos tasted a tad overdone, but still pretty good since it was the first time I've had them. The pretzel was really good, but the dipping sauces not so good. I still cannot figure out why one of them was a hot caramel sauce. I have never put caramel on my pretzel and it tasted like crap to be honest. The queso must've been the bottom of the pot because it was hard and kind of burnt tasting, so pretty disappointed in the pretzel choice. Our meals came and honest to God the Smashburger looked like a kids meal. This tiny burger plopped on a big white plate with onion rings, and the burger was not good. The bison burger did not have any of the sauces on it that it stated in the menu so he needed to ask for some love on the burger. So the waiter brought over a bunch of sauces. It's a shame because they talk about this place all the time and I really wanted to try it and it just wasn't up to par. I ended up taking my Smashburger home, and the next day I scraped the nasty sauce off it, added mayonnaise to the bun and an extra slice of cheese and it was actually pretty good. I definitely wanna come again because they talk about this place all the time and how good the food is. Maybe it was just the night we went.
