I had the chance to attend Smash House's soft opening today at it's new location, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The moment we arrived, it was clear how much excitement this place has already generated -- people were willing to wait in the cold just to get inside. And once you step in, you understand why. The decor is stunning. Guests immediately started taking photos of the walls and ordering area, and I did too. The space is vibrant, modern but with a throwback feel, and it sets the tone before you even place your order. Now, the burgers. Incredibly tasty. Perfectly smashed, full of flavor, and cooked just right. You can tell a lot of care went into crafting the menu, and the limited opening‑day selection was a smart move, it kept the line moving and made decisions easy. The atmosphere was another highlight. At one point, a to‑go customer ended up sitting with others when the place filled up, and it sparked a friendly conversation between a loyal customer from the previous location and someone brand new. That kind of organic community moment says a lot about the environment Smash House is creating. Overall experience was deliciously good. Would recommend. read more

My partner and I came to Smash House for the first time on Saturday for lunch and it was quite busy, but it only took 10-15 minutes to receive our meal. I ordered the OG Smash burger with double patty and made it a combo to add on the fries and a drink. Everything tasted good, but the burger did come out a bit greasy. That's expected though with a smash burger or any burger honestly. The smash sauce on the burger tasted very similar to spicy mayo and the fries were nicely crispy. The fountain drink options included Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Lemonade, Mr. Pibb, etc. I was told this was their new location and the interior looked nice. However, when the restaurant got busy, it felt very cramped given their setup. There was a good amount of seating, however not much room to wait for your order without feeling like you are standing in the way when all seats were taken. The drink station was also all the way in the back and becomes a one way path when it gets busy. The path to get from placing your order at the cashier up at the front, to the drink area in the back, got slim when busy since people were sitting at the tables and the bar. Although my first time here was a bit overwhelming given how busy it was, this place was a great option to get your smash burger fix! They also have other options including hot dogs, chopped cheese, tacos, etc. so there's something for everyone! I enjoy supporting local businesses and I'll definitely be back to try some of their other menu items! read more

Smash House - OG Smash - Burgers Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

So if you've never been to Leonardtown Maryland you're missing out, but let me describe it for you. Think Bethesda Row, meets Old Town Alexandria, meets Baltimore's Art District, meets Georgetown in DC wrapped up in community and comradery, way more slow paced but still with all the feel good vibes. Now that you have the vision, let me tell you where you can get something good to eat. Once you are done touring this magnificent area of southern Maryland, you're gonna get you a burger at the Smash House. Take my advice on this. This is the best smash burger in the DMV-make no mistake about it. It's served on a potato bun. Need I say more? The edges are crispy and you might think that if you get a smash burger, in general, that you will end up with a dry one, due to the circumference of the patty, however this burger is juicy and flavorful and delicious. Some burgers, let alone smash burgers need a sauce (and they do give you a fantastic sauce) but the sauce isn't what makes this burger juicy-the meat is juicy all on its own. And back to the sauce; again it's a fantastic sauce and it's not water downed, it's not runny nor is it spilling out of your burger either. It sits nicely on the burger and adds its own flavor. And the fries....OMG!!! They're served piping hot as well. They're seasoned well, crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. They're perfect. There's literally nothing more you could ask of your meal here honestly. The ambience is great. The customer service is great. There's not a ton of seating on the inside, but you will be glad you came whether you dine in or you dine out. My husband and I came on a late night (just happy that they were even open as late as they were) grabbed a table and just vibed out. Now we have had this burger when they operated as a ghost kitchen of sorts, and we knew once they got their own stand alone store that we would be patronizing it. Make no mistake about it, when I want a burger, this is where I'm going-no exceptions. read more

Would have been 5 stars had the fries been anywhere close to decent. Please don't buy the cheapest fries your distributor offers. At 4 dollars per serving, line flow grade b fries should not be a thought. Spend the extra 15 dollars per 30lb box and upgrade. read more

Best burger I've had in years. The Smash Sauce could be put on anything and be perfect. Perfect pairing with some beers from the Brudergarten Beer Garden next door. The owners/employees are extremely friendly and passionate about their craft. Check out their specials, each one is unique and brings something new to the table! They also have great merch! read more

Took my 2 sons here for lunch. We all had great burgers. Staff was great. Burgers were great!

These are some of the best burgers I have ever had. If you have Gluten allergies as for them in the Taco burger. I'd drive a considerable distance to eat here but thankfully they are super close to home. Well done! read more

I am not a big burger fan but heard good things about Smash House and decided to give them a try. The gentleman who greeted us and took our order was very friendly. Service was pretty quick, it took about ten minutes or so to get our order (they had quite a few orders ahead of us). My husband and I each got a spicy smash. This was the best burger I've ever had and it had just the right amount of heat. The menu at first glance looks pricey, however the portions are very large. My husband and I shared a single order of fries and I wasn't able to finish my burger. There is some seating in the SOF market area but you can also take your food into Bru to sit and eat, but you have to order something from Bru in order to sit in their space. read more

Smash House - Spicy Smash - Burgers Near Me - Leonardtown, Maryland

good is very yummy I got the smash burger fries and my friend got the onion smash burger with bacon jam! very good and my toddler very much approved of the fries. only bad thing is they aren't very baby friendly no high chairs and too small a space for a stroller. otherwise perfect! read more

A really great burger joint in a unique setting. Had the OG smash burger and it was the perfect mix of juicy and crispy burger full of flavor. American cheese, pickle. I don't like a ton on my burger I prefer the minimal toppings so I can taste the burger and this was just perfect. Fries are hot, just enough crisp and salt. Seating is limited but we didn't have any trouble. Next time I will go after 4 and go to brudergarten with my smash house (if they allow it). Will definitely be back. read more

Everything is great. My wife loves the Smash Tacos and I'm a huge fan of the Oklahoma Burger. But you can't go wrong with anything.

It is a year later and I'm returning to leave another 5 star review. My husband and I are such huge fans of this place. We moved two hours away and still make the drive and are sure to buy in bulk because this business is just so good at what they do. This go around we got the deluxe, single, the Oklahoma, smash tacos, chopped cheese, and some fries. Even after the drive back home everything was phenomenal. Best smash burger on the east coast by far! They always offer consistently delicious food, and they are always so welcoming and wonderful every time we visit. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Go to burger spot. Food never misses, consistently delicious. A+ service, timeliness and for experience. Do recommend.

We dropped by here on a day trip to Leonardtown. The location was interesting. We got there before opening, but there was a bunch of little shops inside we were able to look at. We both ordered the deluxe burger. The service was quick! I think we waited less than 10 minutes for our food. It was sooo good and the burger was bigger than we expected. The meat was crispy and flavorful. The house sauce was super good too. If we ever pass by this town we will def go again. read more

Food is always amazing and Dave and kerley did a amazing job when the first open to now

I search out great burgers, truly great ones. My search led me here and I was not disappointed. Small local business, locally sourced beef, some of my favorite things. The proprietors are the nicest guys you'll ever want to meet. They always have a smile on their faces. Then there's the burgers, they're some of the most amazing creations I've ever had the pleasure of eating. I'm in the area every Friday and this has become a regular stop before I leave. Freshly prepared upon your order, quality locally sourced beef , the caramelized onions are amazing, smash sauce is unique and tasty. It's enclosed in a quaint little shopping complex where you can browse while you wait for your delicious burger. These guys are onto something here. read more

What a great team building experience! They had the smash area set up with items that were applicable to our group. We're in accounting firm and so we had a desk and printer, and things like that as well as their normal items. Everyone on our team had an amazing time and The staff was great. They had the tunes going and we had a great time with their photo booth. Highly recommend read more

Hamburger bun was soggy hamburger. Had a liver taste to it. Pickles tasted like cucumber which made the meat taste like cucumber. The brownie had a metal taste to it so we ended up throwing all of it out. read more
