Smash Bros Bistro - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

This is a wonderful burger (more foods are offered every couple of months) joint. Quite simply, it's one of the top 10 on my list for burgs, many defunct years ago. Beautifully crusted and cooked through but very juicy and TENDER patties. That means Handmade. Cheddar cheese, FERMENTED pickles, grilled on the cusp of caramelized and a really nice bun. Fresh and light yet strong enough to stand up to the relentless juices out flowing from the patties. For the Record: all 3 of us had Double Smash Burgers. Mine and Friend 1 had the same. Friend 2 had the Bacon and Blue option. We split an order each of Fries and Sweet Potato Fries, both crisp and tender, salted just right. We all had fountain drinks. With Tax and tip, it was under $65. Not an inexpensive burger combo but it was a hellofa MEAL. Friend 2 and I are repeat diners. It was Friend 1's first time. While we were eating he acknowledged my ranting about Smash Bros was justified. Located off the NE Corner, Bullard Ave at Fresno St. Iingress is on Fresno St at the 7-11. Also, they're carefully expanding their menu. Several Italian dishes are offered as well as desserts. Ask about their Catering! Smash Bros Bistro; great burgs, good fries and other sides, ever expanding menus and 2 cool brothers playing up JOY. Hungry Joey says, "Check it out!" read more

Food, hospitality, music makes it such a great stop! Johnny the owner is awesome behind the grill, warm and friendly as well as Andy they make the place so welcoming! Between the amazing patties to the in house made pickles there's so much to be enjoyed here. Be sure to save room for dessert, keep in mind they have ribs on Fridays and breakfast on Sundays! We'll definitely be back, looking forward to the chicken sandwich. Also great gluten free bun, thank you again guys! God bless! read more

6/5 this truly is a gem. Incredible food, atmosphere and service. Everyone at this establishment works hard and nobody has one job. I saw the head Cheff take orders bus boy was doing other tasks like cleaning tables. The chef came out and say hi to customers and talked to them like a real human. The bathroom is extremely clean. Fast food prices with bistro level service. My food came on a real plate and when I asked for an extra side of sauce, I got a huge amount. These people are here to serve, and you can feel that. This is easily my new favorite place to go. There is a reason why this place is 5 stars on yelp. That's not easy to do. read more

This is one of my go to places. I always enjoy talking to Chef Johnny and everything I've had there or taken home is perfect. Great burgers, Brussels sprouts, fries. He makes special dishes - I just had his meatball sandwich and it was Excellent. He's a wonderful host, always chats with patrons and, oh yeah - he makes killer cakes. read more

Chef Jonathan was really hospitable and down-to-earth. You could see he was very passionate about his restaurant making people feel good being there. Generous portions and great flavors! Also loved watching the soapbox derby on the TV! read more

I'd say the best cheese burger I've had thus far and it's on a gluten free bun! With an allergy to wheat my burger options are minimal and I'm glad I checked this place out. I've tried many places and I feel I have found my go to spot. The burger was scrumptious, the service was great and the employees are kind. The space is comfortable inside, I took my order to go. I plan on being back soon and with company! read more

Glad to return to fav local burger spot for Sunday brunch. Welcomed by the clean and sleek interior bistro, we were greeted and served by real smash brothers Johnny and Anthony. Our party of 5 ordered, shared, and enjoyed two orders of the 2 x 2 x 2, an order of pancakes, a cinnamon roll, two side orders of potatoes, an extra side order of eggs, fountain drinks, and orange juice. Left full and happy with a to go order. Although pretty pricey, both the lasagna and carrot cake with espresso filling were delicious. read more

Food is incredible and the service is impeccable. The staff is very kind and accommodating. We were in town visiting looking for a place nearby to grab a quick bite. Came in for lunch, they told us about a Sunday brunch and we knew we had to come back after having the best smash burgers ever the first go around. Great local business worth supporting. Will come back whenever we're in town. Keep up the great work and great food! read more

Had the double smash burger and fries. The burger is a straightforward - very good smash burger where they allow the simple ingredients to shine. Patty, meat, cheese, house made pickles, and sauce. Now if I have to be particular I would like them to add more sauce. Sauce acts as a binder to combine all these great ingredients. Also, fries portion were a bit small for $20. All in all, I would definitely recommend. I appreciate the smaller menu, shows although they do a few things, they do them well and right. I would like to come back and try the chicken sandwich. Service was great! All gentlemen were very friendly say hi and waving bye. Loved the oldie music as well. read more

No complaints whatsoever. Whoever the dude that is working tonight, he's a cool ass dude as well. read more

My husband and I are newer to Fresno and wanted to go out for Sunday lunch. We are big on supporting local. First thing I notice walking in is cleanliness and was very happy to see just how bright and clean it was. Staff were immediately welcoming and let us know where to order and see menu. Super polite in any questions asked and loved to see that there was a vegetarian option(s). Food was phenomenal! First off, fries were delicious! Truffle fries were amazing and my husband's garlic fries did not disappoint. I had the bacon blue smash burger- impressed & very fresh. We can't wait to try their other offers as they mentioned that menu changes - love that! Tri tip this week and we plan to be there Thank you all for the great food and wonderful customer service! (as that isn't everywhere these days) read more

What a great little spot my husband and I stumbled upon. We entered and immediately greeted and welcomed. The bistro is quaint and very clean. The soothing music in the back ground is nice. I got the smash burger, and my husband got the double smash burger with fries. There are several smash burger spots in Fresno, but this is by far top tier and so tasty! You can taste the quality from the meat, to the bun and sauces. So delicious!!! The fries also were so good with a good crisp to each bite. All in all, great bistro-- such a great food spot in Fresno. read more

All I can say is wow! The burgers are fantastic. We ordered the Double Smashburger (+bacon) and the Fried Chicken Sandwich (+extra pickles) and they were amazing! We had French Fries and Cajun Fries as well-- both were great. I recommend the Cajun Fries if you like a kick The burger had a TON of flavor in the patties compared to other smash burgers I've had. The pickles were made in house and are absolutely delicious if you're a pickle connoisseur like me! I met the chef and he was very friendly and informative about their menu. 10 out of 10 in my book and I'm picky! I'll be back read more

Was craving a burger and this place came in first on yelp rating for this area. I stopped by and couldn't be happier with my choice of trying it out, very nice people working here, super attentive and friendly.

Smash Bros Bistro - Smash burger with garlic fries. Probably the best in Fresno. They have the best ranch around it's fresh made and delicious. - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

I stumbled upon this place while looking for some new lunch options. The inside was clean and aesthetically pleasing . I was Immediately greeted by two warm gentlemen . The playlist was a total vibe playing 90s Pop Rock. Menu was surprisingly varied for a smash burger place . I ordered 3 smash burger meals . I thought the smash burger was one of the better smash burgers I've tried . The truffle fries and house made ranch were top notch! The price might be a little high for some but I do think it averages out to what most restaurant pricing are these days . The customer service alone was a 10/10. I will come back to try their other menu items . read more

Smash Bros Bistro - Smashburger with regular fries - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

Don't judge a book by its cover people, because they are serving straight heat at this place. These men can cook!! Eggs were fresh , chicken made to order perfectly seasoned and fresh, and the pancakes were the best and to top it off they use real maple syrup. I hate when a place has a good pancake & then distract the cakes with artificial syrup. Service A1 the entire staff & welcoming you can tell that they enjoy their passion. Food A1 Price A1 Breakfast is only on Sunday if you want to try the pancakes. Great new spot if you want to try some great food. It's rare that the food exceeds the price of the food. Definitely recommend. read more

First time in. Great vibe. Great food. Great service. We'll be going back. Best sweet potato fries ever. Killer banana bread pudding.

One of the best little burger joints in Fresno hands down. The set up was pretty neat, I sat down at the bar, the menu is simple and not over complicated, and the food tasted great! I ordered the crispy jalapeño smash burger, not on the menu but will sometimes appear on special. It was absolutely delicious with a side of fries and a coke! Just a perfect combination. They will occasionally offer a free scoop of ice cream with the purchase of a burger. The sundae looked amazing but I didn't have time to get one so I'll have to come back with my son to share a sundae really enjoyed the ambiance of this place, gives me like a New York restaurant vibe, like it was open yet homey. And it was so open that I met the owner and enjoyed a friendly conversation with him while he made my burger. It's more than a burger when you eat here, it's an experience. Definitely worth giving this place a try. read more

Stopped in here on my drive thru from Yosemite back home to Phoenix. After several days of tin can camp food, I was starving and ready for a burger! It's so hard to find good burger places that also offer gluten-free buns, I saw this place with incredible reviews that was closing in 15 min. I poked my head in and asked if it was possible to place a quick order. The owner immediately said yes and invited me to take a seat and enjoy my meal without worry about the time. He was super kind and engaging. It felt like being home at a local establishment of comfort. The space was nice and inviting with a burger bar and exceptional home brewed iced tea. Now to the burger - oh. my. goooosssshhhh! This double smash patty burger with tangy sauce and pickles was one of the best I'd ever had. I'm actually sad it's not a chain, even though I prefer the independent operations, because I would come here all the time! Definitely run, don't walk, and get you one...or 10. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I visited for lunch on a Wednesday with my husband and parents, and we arrived early in the day before the lunch rush. There is counter seating on the left when you enter as well as a narrow bar with stools to your right. Just past the main counter is the register where you order your meal, and beyond the register are dining tables and chairs that seat parties of two or four. At the time we arrived (just after 11:15) we had our pick of seating, but it definitely got busier just after 12, so I'd try to go early if you can and are wanting to go for a workday lunch. My husband and I shared a double smash burger which was served with cheese, shaved onions, pickles and bistro sauce and the patties were sizeable. (Excellent flavor, juicy well-seasoned patties, perfect balance of sauce and cheese.) We also tried the truffle parmesan fries which were perfectly salted and the truffle flavor was great while not being overpowering. And, I'm a big fan of a wedge salad (I blame Heirloom for getting me hooked) and it was served with bacon, plenty of bleu cheese and pickled onions and it was very cold and tasty, just like I like a wedge to be. Service was great - our food was brought to our table with attention given to providing extra napkins, clearing the table of used dishes for space, and boxes were provided for extra food. The portions were generous on everything we ordered, and the flavor was on point. The atmosphere was comfortable, inviting, warm in a friendly way (not temperature-wise) and the décor is French-bistro/café-inspired. Smash Bros Bistro is located in a small strip mall by 7-11 on the northeast corner of Bullard and Fresno Street near 41 and numerous doctors' offices, and I suspect it will become a very popular lunch spot for the many folks working in nearby offices. If you'd like to try their tasty food but are in a rush, they will happily take your orders by phone, too. I'd for sure go back to Smash Bros and recommend others visit soon as well. The owners know their stuff. read more

The review is strictly on service & truffle fries lol. I have never ordered here before and would love to try their smash burgers sometime cus I think that's what they're known for, hence the name lol. We were in the area and my son was craving truffle fries. He didn't want any with cheese on top. Ik I could've gotten it anywhere else but this place was probably the cheapest I can find in the area. It went for $9. And the fact he didn't want the cheese on top it was just gonna be fries and truffle salt seasoning. I ordered over the phone and the dude was so nice and so considerate cus he said he asked how far I was cus he wasn't tryna make them now since they cook fast. He wanted me to get them hot and crispy! I told him I'm literally a min. down the st and he said ok. They are located next to 7 eleven. They had a sign in the front that says they even sell Fresno state Ice cream there! Nice! Going inside, I was shook cus I did not think it looked like that inside! It's so cute and kind of gave it an old school modern home feel. I told the man what I ordered over the phone and he lmk they didn't even make it yet cus it literally takes a min to make it. I didn't mind at all. And he was right! I got it in about a minute. No cheese, just truffle salt. Service was a1!! My son approved of the truffle fries! read more

Stopped by here randomly while we were traveling and I have to say it was great. I must commend the cashier for his great personality and attentiveness. Our burger was cooked by the owner and it's one of the best burgers we have had in a while. Fresh pickles and everything. I'd definitely stop here again. Wishing you guys nothing but success for the future read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this place was great! Easily one of the BEST burger joints I've ever been to! Chef Johnny and his team were friendly and more than happy to customize my burger. I got a double smash with grilled jalapeños, bacon and avocado and every bite was packed with flavor! My wife and I shared an order of the sweet potato fries with jalapeño ranch which were great too! The kids also enjoyed their burger and fries with a free scoop of ice cream! Too bad I was only passing thru on a road trip, otherwise I would be a regular! If I'm in the area again, I plan to get the Brussel sprouts and load it up with smash burgers and all the fixings for my low carb high protein fix! read more

So far I've only been here once to try the smashed burger. The place has a quaint bistro style vibe. The smashed burger was good and the other menu items also looked amazing too. They also have a yummy looking Sunday brunch menu as well that I'd like to definitely try.

Picked up my teenager Grandson to run errands with me. He was hungry for a GOOD burger. A friend told me "go to smash bros bistro ". So glad I took a chance on this place. Grandson had the smash burger and fries . I had a smash burger that was like a In-& out burger. Absolutely an incredible burger. Friendly place. The cook owner came out to see how the food was. My grandson inhaled the burger. He said. "I could go for another one". He loves to eat. We will be back. Also serve breakfast no too!!! read more

5 stars for service and food! A chill guy introduced the menu and workers to us, and welcomed us. They had a funny extreme sports show on that made my whole family happy. The vibe here is great. Small menu, fresh burgers, fantastic sauce... will definitely be back. read more

Customer service was great! The food was terrible. We order 3 meals: smash burger with regular fries, blue cheese smash burger with brussel sprouts & spicy smash burger with spicy fries. The meat was extra burnt on all hamburgers, my brussel sprouts were very salty and burnt too. At $20 a meal, I was not worth the money. I suggest they offer an option of how well done to cook the hamburger and let customer add the salt. Unfortunately, the fries were freshly frozen like McDonalds. Save your money. It was a big disappointment read more

I was torn in my search for a premium burger as I had a craving that needed satisfaction. I decided on Smash Bros Bistro, as the reviews and pictures was an offer I couldn't refuse. Now on to the meat of the matter. Starting with the fries, these you can take to the bank as there golden deliciousness with the perfect sprinkling of salt. The burger was really good, the homemade dill pickles and sauce with the grilled onions and top shelf meat.... I am still drooling. The service was great. The owners were host and chef, definitely a local joint. Great atmosphere and vibes with that upscale bistro feel. Only four months old, so hop on before they blow up! read more

Smash Bros Bistro - Double smash burger combo - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

The search for a truly gourmet Smashburger is over - Smash Bros have nailed it. A thin patty with crisp, lacy edges on a tender bun, dressed with melted cheddar, grilled onions, house-made pickle, and house dressing. I had mine with a half order of wedge salad (not on menu) that was one of the best renditions of this classic that I've had. Crunchy, fresh iceberg covered with house-made blue cheese dressing, halved grape tomatoes, house-pickled onion and slivers of bacon (the crowning glory that brings the flavors together - not the stale, often tooth-breaking bacon bits short-cut fakery done elsewhere). My companions had slim cut fries which they said were good, fresh, hot and crispy. The eclectically-appointed interior is spacious & comfortable with tables and chairs and a few counter seats. The small menu does include other items, besides burgers. They have Fresno State ice cream, as well as some house made desserts. PLUS, this is independently owned and operated by a couple of local chefs that are genuinely friendly and accommodating, ready to fix any item "your way" without having a meltdown and possessing the culinary skills and desire to do it better than your expectations. Smash Bros Bistro is an unexpected bite of delight in a same-old land of fast-food bland. read more

Food 5/5. Ambiance 5/5. We came upon this place today when we were looking for food before heading to the mall. We're happy we found this place.

Smash Bros Bistro - Double smash Double Smashburger - Salad Near Me - Fresno, California

I gave in today & decided to try a new spot not too far from the pad. I've heard good things about Smash Bros Bistro so I said "why not?" I've never had a smash burger before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell you, if I had to summarize everything into one word FLAVORFUL!! The burger was simple in appearance but big on taste!! Wow!! True to the "bistro" vibe, they offer shoestring fries with their burgers. Also great on taste, hot & crispy just like I like them. The offer you a side of catsup with your order, not being the conventional type, I choose the buffalo aioli as a dipping sauce for my fries and that did not disappoint either!! They serve Coke products which is an added plus for me!! #teamCoke The owner was very attentive and came out to the floor several times to check on the customers. He picked up my tray at the conclusion of my meal. Very personable and pleasant. This is one of those type of places where you want to spend your money and support. It's the small details at times that turns a good experience into a great one. Way to go fellas. You've won me over and will definitely come by more frequently now. Great ambiance. Clean restrooms. Came by on a Sunday and football was playing...it just got better and better. The music playing was diverse and pleasant to enjoy listening to while I ate my lunch. Overall I would give this place a solid recommendation. High marks across the board!! However, if there is one area where there could be an improvement... here's my suggestion: have your coke guy adjust the settings and add a bit more of the syrup into the soda. It's not bad as it is, don't get me wrong, but if you could rival McDonald's Coke...I'd be here all the time!! A very small suggestion but otherwise, an awesome visit!! Until next time!! read more
