IMO SmashSonoma makes the very best hamburgers in Sonoma County, in fact I can't recall a better burger anywhere. I love everything about this smash burger: maximum browning with crispy edges, perfectly seasoned flavorful meat, gooey cheese, savory sauce, briny pickles, classic toppings, delicious toasted buttery bun - all in a perfect size burger. We love the fries, tots and shakes too. Downstairs is very kid-friendly. In the evening adults can enjoy the entire Smash menu upstairs in the adults-only Sonoma Beacon speakeasy and pair their burger with a glass of wine, beer or an excellent craft cocktail. My group of four friends tried different burgers, the chicken sandwich, tots and fries. Everything was delicious. Update: I have been there three times and everything was fantastic. read more

The place was packed with patrons!! The service was courteous and expedient!! However, the smash burger and fries were disappointing! Under whelming on flavor on both burger and the home made fries... tasteless fries that weren't crispy.. absent of crunch on outside and pillowy baked potato on inside ( true characteristics of high quality fries). Understanding that they are newly opened and will definitely give it another chance, we believe in you!! being in the business for 40+ years, I always understand that it takes some time to work out the bugs before service and expediting come together! read more

Another Smash by the Star team! Phenomenal addition to the square at a reasonable price read more

This place slaps, in the best way possible! Sonoma has incredible cuisine but sometimes you just want an incredible chicken sandwich and fries! This is where you go! Smash is on a perfect corner street and easy to find. Walked in and the place was bright and clean. I have an allergy and have to be gluten free. I spoke with the server and the manager was behind her and instructed me on some stuff. I still felt very safe! I am so grateful the chicken sandwich was GF! How cool is that. I think the food is awesome and worth the money! When leaving, my partner did say that he would love to come back and become a regular! read more

The photos Smash posts bear no resemblance to its actual food. Quality bun, nope. Chicken sando, bone dry, even with self-added mayo. That tomato, fuggedaboutit. It's And Christmas is quicker. I was cheering that at last Sonoma has a quick, good burger spot on the Square. This ain't it. Plus $$$. Nice young staff however, and the place looks good. Clientele, young prosperous couples with multiple small children. Two outdoor tables facing the Square. read more

Amazing food backed by an incredible team! exactly what Sonoma needed!! Fries are seasoned to perfection and the burger was juicy. I'll be back for the chicken sando next ;) read more

Smash - double with avocado - Burgers Near Me - Sonoma, California

Smash just opened yesterday and without knowing I luckily strolled in. Wife and I had double smash burgers which we ordered to go. Ate them in the park across the street. Very cool restaurant on the inside. Plenty of seating if you want to eat there but easy to eat outside in the park as well. You can order from a person at the front or there are a couple screens if you want to order yourself and quickly My burgers were ready in under five minutes! Burgers were delicious. Will definitely be back. Sonoma finally has a smash burger spot that doesn't break your wallet !! read more

Great food. Great service! Their shake machine wasn't working but that didn't matter.

Nice little place with casual vibes to grab a bite. Friendly staff. Ordered a double smash and it was good. Misread beer menu thinking they were gonna be draft but it was canned. Overall still a nice place. read more

The burger was too saucy, needed more lettuce and was small for the price. The meat was well seasoned with good flavor. TOTs were great as was the strawberry shake. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice. read more

Exactly what Sonoma Square needed! An excellent burger spot with quality ingredients at an excellent price point - and drinks! The vibe is perfect. The team was so friendly, on top of things, and kept the place looking great. Excited to go back and try more of the menu! read more

Smash - Two bacon smash burgers, za'atar fries, and tater tots - Burgers Near Me - Sonoma, California

My wife and I go to Sonoma a lot and we discovered Smashburger and we just love it. The staff is so friendly and courteous and professional they make you feel at home. They're very sincere about that and it's a pleasure to go there and of course the food is great... aren't many places like this left.. I take my hat off to these people fantastic job. I'm gonna give you six stars. read more

I was excited to try this new burger place in downtown. The interior is really nice and has a great vibe. We ordered to-go and walked around while waiting. They texted me when the food was ready, which was really convenient and nice. I ordered the hot spicy fried chicken sandwich, and it was extremely spicy for me, even though I usually love spicy food. The batter on the spicy chicken sandwich was thick, and the chicken was kind of dry. They also used spring mix leaves in the sandwich, which I personally don't like because they get soggy, so I had to take them out. I would prefer regular green lettuce for burgers. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I probably would not get the chicken sandwich again. Im not sure I will be going back but if I do next time, I would try the double burger without the lettuce. read more

This place hits the mark in so many ways. From the fast service with a smile, a burger and chicken sando that can hold up after a Dutch Bros run and a 20 minute drive home, plus the fact you can get innovative cocktails upstairs and eat in the comfy lounge is pretty much one of a kind. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the falafel smash and tots with za'atar and a boozy milkshake next time! read more

Heard good things and was excited to try, but first time was disappointing. Crowded and extremely, uncomfortably loud. Tater tots were fabulous but burger (single) only ok. Next time I'll skip lettuce & tomato. read more

Ok, so I've been waiting a while for these guys to open and it did not disappoint. Got a bit of everything as there were a few of us eating. The fried chicken sandwich was probably the winner for me. Price was very reasonable for what we received. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

Smash - Fried chicken sando and a few smash burgers - Burgers Near Me - Sonoma, California

Burger was warm but not hot! Sat and waited, ordered a single smash, no sides or shake. Would have appreciated a hot of the grill experience, not a luke warm burger! read more

Objectively delicious. It's kind of everything of you want in a smash burger. The bun is perfect, the bacon is fantastic quality (should you choose to add it) - and the sauce is just fab and the patty is just right. I'm thrilled this opened. Man, even the cheese on the burger stood out. I'll be going here all summer long. They nailed it. The inside design is very cute and you cannot beat the location. Staff is super sweet, but that's to be expected with any establishment these guys open - they hire well. read more

I have been here twice. The first time I had the Nashville Spicy Chicken Sandwich. This is a "true" Nashville Spicy! Love it!! The second time I had the Smash Burger and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Perfectly seasoned and the right amount of sauce. This is now my go to burger. Secondly the staff is great, make sure to eat upstairs (over 21) to enjoy a cocktail with your meal. Downstairs has a cool family friendly vibe while upstairs has the swanky vibe!! read more

Incredible and much needed addition to the plaza! We went during the first week and burgers were excellent. Fries were crispy and even our picky 6 year-old loved the fried chicken sandwich. I love that they have drinks at the counter as well and can't wait to go back and try those. read more

WOW! 5 Stars across the board. Exactly what I was looking for, just enough, but not too much. Burger is just, WOW! Right proportion of bun, meat, extras! If you're careful you can get through the whole thing without it leaking out all over. Service, location, vibe, all tops in class. I'm a local, I'll be back. read more

Burger was too salty, plus they butchered my order by forgetting to include the fries I ordered on the ticket and putting smash sauce on my burger, which I asked them not to do. The canned root beer was good. Sonoma burger scene sucks and this place doesn't help. read more

Have visited twice since they opened. Went two weeks ago and ordered one bacon smash burger and a second one without the sauce. Well, it arrived with the sauce. Took it back to correct the order...came back without the bacon. Fries tasted good and shake delicious. Second visit --ordered smash burger and tator tots. Tots were like a dried out husk. No inner filling. Meh. Burger had way too much sauce...it was slopping over. Bun was burnt and chewy. Hope they improve. Would like to be able to frequent this place. read more

We loved Smash! People 21+ can go up to the Beacon and order the burgers from there. The full Smash menu was available upstairs in addition to the Beacon's cocktail menu. My whole group was super impressed with the burgers and the ease of being able to order from the cool lounge area upstairs. Service upstairs was great as well! read more

I am SO excited to have a place I can easily take my kids on the square. The burgers were delicious, my kids gobbled theirs up. Of course one kid likes fries and the other doesn't--but tater tots? They were both happy! I love that you can add avocado and other extras on the burger. I was also surprised to see chicken and a falafel patty which I will be sure to go back and try! read more

Very disappointing. Prime downtown location serving second rate burgers in noisy storefront.

I already can't wait for the next time we get to enjoy Smash. My husband and I went for lunch today and shared the single smash burger, Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich, and Za'atar spiced French fries. Everything was so good that we went right back to the counter and ordered another smash burger (double this time) and falafel smash. Everything was 10/10. Especially the Nashville hot fried chicken sando, which will be living rent free in my mind. I also had the strawberry milkshake, which was delicious. Next time I may make it boozy!! Highly recommend! Always great to see familiar, warm faces from the Glen Ellen Star/Stella family as well. read more

The fried chicken is solely buffalo sauce , and it's drenched in it! . The fries were good! But the the chicken sandwich was no it ..

We've been really excited to try this new spot out. Growing up in Sonoma, this feels like something that was always needed. An easy to grab, reasonably priced burger to enjoy in the restaurant or to take to the park. Absolutely amazing, fresh, tasty, you name it! We can't wait to come back! Toddler approved too! read more

Smash - Burgers Near Me - Sonoma, California

Chicken sandwich was delicious, so many new spots open and go through growing pains, not these guys, their team was ready, these guys are doing it right!! Definitely be back!! read more

I'm leaving 2 stars not because the burgers weren't delicious they were and the tater tots and fried were as well. I'm dissatisfied because I ordered 3 burgers and every single one was wrong, I paid extra for the bacon burger and got no bacon, the other 2 I asked for less toppings and they put everything on them, I didn't notice until I got home. I would suggest you check your order before you leave which one shouldn't have to do. I will probably go back because it was tasty, I will just make sure to check my order. read more

Elvis would even live for these Tots! all of us locals do! The service is done with a smile. I highly recommend the tater tots with incredible house made ranch ( tons of dill !) and an Henhouse Oyster Stout. Best service ever! The place is neat as a pin but also hip and comfortable. My new fave spot on the plaza! read more

Burgers were very good but small and overpriced. We ordered two doubles, one bottle of water and one order of fries cause they were out of tater tots and the total was over 50 dollars. Ouch, and my husband was still hungry. I saw an influencer's video about their burgers and they do not look like the same ones they are actually serving especially size. I hope they reconsider at least the sizing of the smash burgers. read more

Ambiance was great- perfect spot for a quick dinner on the square! Food was excellent- burger, fries and tots were all incredible. Definitely recommend! read more

I went back to Smash after seeing their crab roll sandwich special on Instagram. Omggggg it was so good! It was one of the best crab rolls I've ever had! My friend got her burger with Za'tar fries and I stole a couple because they went so well with my sandwich! To e service was fast and friendly and the inside was super clean. I got my sandwich To Go so we could eat in the plaza. Definitely coming back, especially if that crab roll is still available read more

My husband and I stopped in on our trip to Sonoma. We were presently surprised to find they offered gluten free foods! Even better, my husband who isn't gluten free agreed the fried chicken was delicious! It's rare to find a restaurant that is able to accommodate many allergies while still serving delicious food. Chloe and the other staff were very kind and answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed our meal! read more
