Don't let the outside fool you, the interior is surprisingly clean and put together for what looks like a converted house. 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. read more

Smash Daddy's - Smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Harrisburg, Ohio

Recently I was craving a good burger, and after hearing about a new smash burger place that opened close 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. read more

4th visit wasn't a charm. Mushroom Swiss burger which has always been exceptional/excellent was just overcooked and dry. Plentiful fries that have always been good but almost under-cooked were overcooked and crunchy. Service was good. Ambiance was good. It's not that it was bad just nothing to look forward too and be excited about like in the past. read more

This is a brand new restaurant in Harrisburg. The food is just absolutely fresh and delicious. The burgers are very carefully done and tasty, grilled smashburger style. The french fries are excellent, fresh cut and fried just perfectly. The inside is clean and cute... pretty decent seating, with eight tables. It's just a couple weeks old but there was a steady crowd while I was here on Sunday afternoon. The person who greeted me was extremely polite professional. You order at counter and then you can take your food to a table. It's just a short drive from Grove City. Pretty simple menu hamburgers hot tubs tons of different toppings. If I were making suggestions I would suggest two things: 1) I would add an egg as an optional toppong and 2) I would have fountain drinks instead of can sodas, and if you were sticking with canned sodas $2 is a little bit pricey. The good news is there's water for $1. read more

Excellent burger! The bun was so soft and the whole sandwich was delicious. I love the fair-style fries. My 95-year-old mother never finishes anything, and she finished her hotdog and most of the fries! I am definitely making it part of the routine when going through Harrisburg. read more

Wanted to treat ourselves to some delicious burgers and decided to finally make to Smash Daddy's. Overall it was a great experience and burger. The ambiance was okay. There's no music or anything so it kinda felt quiet and sterile. The place is super clean though. With dining in it would've been ideal to have fountain drinks but they only have canned soda in a cooler. That's ok for to-go orders but dine in should have fountain in my opinion. My husband said the burger could use more seasoning but I thought mine was fantastic. If you like more seasoning you could add some more salt. The fries are huge! My daughter and I split a basket. My husband got the smash fries and I stole a few bites. Soooo good! The service was good but the woman asked us what our order name was but she never even took our name. Thankfully no mix up with our order. They clean off the tables so no need to take your trays/trash to a trash can. read more

Personally for a smash burger I think it's a couple bucks over priced. But they are very tasty. If you get a order of fries it a very large portion. But above anything the guy working was amazing. Very friendly and it wouldn't matter what the food taste like you would come back just because you feel the small town vibes family atmosphere. The place was packed when my wife and I went. He was taking all the orders wiping tables down amd going from table to table asking if everything taste good. I will definitely be back! read more

We visited Smash Daddy's in Harrisburg and it was amazing. The restaurant was extremely clean and well lit. Service was fast and very professional. But more importantly the food was fantastic. We got a couple of single smash burgers that were cooked to perfection. The buns were toasted perfectly. The fries were amazing. Crisp but not overcooked. They were not heavy in grease. I would highly recommend making the quick trip from Columbus to go there. It was worth our 40 minute drive and we will be back. read more

Nothing out of the ordinary . Meat was dry, fries are shoestring, greasy and from frozen. Very nice attendant. Place is noisy and small. Expect to park a distance away.
