Great burger only problem is they only gave me one of the two burgers I ordered. The cashier checked my order as did the lady who handed me my take out order. Got home and only 1 of the two burgers I ordered was enclosed. I checked my receipt and I was charged for 2 burgers and 2 fries, but they missed it.. read more

The food is great. I love the mushroom Swiss burger they serve but the MAN this place is slow. I'm here on a Saturday, the line is out the door, and they have one register open. I just don't understand... read more

At my wife's urging, I went to the smash burgers in Menlo park mall. I ordered the NJ smash, with a vanilla shake and it was one of the best burgers I've had - love the egg bun as well. I was one of the best burgers I've had ....not thee best. Regardless, the overall experience was positive - prices are reasonable (about 7 a burger), the whole dining area clean... Bathroom was clean as well ( usually if a bathroom is clean the kitchen is as well) ---will definetly come back. The server was great as well and brought extra pickles when he saw me take some of my daughters pickles ... All in all great experience read more

This review is primarily for the inefficient takeout procedures at this particular location, and unfair pricing overall. The burger quality/recipe is excellent and speaks for itself at any of the franchises. This was my 1st time doing takeout here. I came here for a quick order after a long day of shopping at the mall. I ordered the Avocado Ranch Black Bean Burger. I saw that the cost was $6.39, and was disappointed to learn it did not come with any sides at all. After placing the order, the cashier behind the counter told me to wait for it to be ready. The problem was that she did not tell me WHERE to wait for it. I looked around confusedly, and saw what looked like a typical fast food pick-up window. Above this counter there was a tiny sign that said "smash and dash pickup". However, the window was lined with equipment clearly designated for employees. So I stood back a bit under the sign. I waited about 10 minutes, and saw the cook behind the counter put what looked like my burger in a take out box ( I was the only one waiting) on the counter. He did Not call out my name which was printed on the receipt, nor did he look at me. The young lady who took my order was busy training a new employee. So,I was left to assume that I should just do as the sign said and "dash"with the burger that I already paid for. I went to the window, took the burger, saw that its receipt said my name, proceeded to place it in a bag set out on the counter, and suddenly the cashier ran over to me, took the burger from me, and said hastily "I can do that for you" and put it in the bag. I was obviously mortified, started apologizing saying it was my first time there, and she just hastily gestured me away from the counter saying, "sorry have a nice Day" (it was 6pm in the evening) with her eyes on the floor. The bottom line is that it is unethical and really bad for buisiness to embarrass customers like that. I know it is not fully the cashier's fault. Perhaps she was not instructed on how to clearly direct takeout customers, or she was just really busy helping the newbie. Or was it the cook's job behind the counter to call out my name, or at least make some eye contact with me as I stood there waiting attentively? It appeared to me that this is one disorganized franchise. Next time, I will go elsewhere for a gourmet burger. read more

Overpriced mediocre food. The "Big" burger was no more than 6 ounces so I'm guessing the "Reg" size isn't much bigger than a White Castle slider. The fries were waaaay too salty and are too thin to eat easily. A bottle of water for $2.29?! C'mon. $14 wasted on lunch. read more

My first time there and my last time! My experience was pretty bad. The place wasn't even busy. They gave me the wrong order...twice! And the last time they came out with the wrong burger I told the person who gave it to me that it was wrong. He went to the back and came out 10 seconds later with a burger in the plastic container..I looked at it and said "what did they do just take the other stuff off?" He replied "yes". By the look on my face you could tell I was disappointed. He then asked "did you want a freshly made burger??". I just stared at him, put the burger in my bag and walked away...I definitely don't think I will be revisiting. read more

I enjoyed my burger . They were speedy in getting my food out to me and with a soda and fries i paid like 12 bucks .... The fries are thin and i can't shovel as many in my mouth at one time making for more effort on my part..... I wouldn't take advice from anybody who orders chicken at a burger joint . Thats just me though .. read more

I don't live close to a smash burger, however I ordered from the online website. My pick up time had said 7:45. I took the 30 minute drive to Menlo. No complaints so far. We pull up to the mall at 7:30. My husband finally decides to go in at 7:40 while I was in the car because the baby was asleep. (Ok let me get back on track) as my husband is on the line (pick up order line) I am texting him to make sure he knows where to go etc. he's standing there and the lady is calling out other people's name. "Keith", "John", "etc" ... None which are my husband. It is now 7:55... (10 minutes after the schedule pick up) my husband said the lady never asked him once if he needed help or was being helped) he was the only one online at this point... Standing there for more then 20 minutes now. He isn't talkative much.. So i decided to give the restaurant a call because it is now 8:15. When I call the lady I ask her if everything was ok with our online order because my husband has been waiting for a half hour. She proceeds to tell me all online order has been picked up. I said can't be, I have my confirmation and my husband is on line waiting. I hear her talking to a another lady saying , what's the online bag there say? And then she tells me she will find my husband. Ugh so frustrating. He finally comes out and we drive our way back home to eat semi cold food. When I get home, I look in the bag, and of course my sons drink for his kids meal isn't there.. Greeeeat. All that and now a almost 3 year old who's been waiting patiently for his drink. Whatever, I go to bite my burger... BOOOM something else is wrong. I requested NOO ranch dressing on my burger, but did request chipotle mayo. Nope..... Just ranch. What a f*ucked up night. Thanks smash burger read more

Useless place to order from , denied my order after 45 minutes of waiting time over a lame excuse.

Grabbed lunch with my coworkers and enjoyed it alot. The burger was very tasty and the onion rings were real good. I would recommend you try it for a good burger. read more

Ok so I just order but I have a problem already...there's a cook with long hair down to he's back and he's not wearing any hats or hairnet...what makes it worst is that he flips he's hair around every time he moves he's head. I don't think that's profesional and will not be eating here when he's cooking. read more

Went to the brand new Smashburger in Menlo Park and it was awesome! My husband ordered a classic cheeseburger and fries and he loved it. Now, I watch my weight so I don't order cheeseburgers, so I had a spinach and goat cheese salad with balsamic dressing and it was great! I eat a lot of salads, grilled chicken, veggie wraps and it all gets old. This salad was above the fray. Can't wait to go back to Smashburger. read more

Went to try on a recommendation. Was not all that impressed to be honest. Had the spicy jalapeño burger and it was pretty bland. Probably would not rush back read more

This place has a consistently good burger. It is SIGNIFICANTLY above above when compared to other mall food court food. Their fries are also pretty amazing. read more

Not a bad burger. Definitely a nice choice in the mall with limited options.

This Smash is the dirtiest! Smells stink! Manager should be ashamed of this place. I've been to the one in East Brunswick and will go back there but not this place. Dirty old rag they use to clean tables smells horrible. Sorry but my dining experience was overshadowed by the horrible horrible did I say horrible smell??? Can't get over it. Horrible. S M E L L. Also they put ketchup on my boy's burger. I specifically said just cheese. Horrible. Don't go to this place. read more

Satisfied my burger craving. The smashfries were delicious and well seasoned. Store was hip and service was great.

Prices were way to high for now reason. Fries are separate & too skinny. They gave me the wrong burger & then I finally got mine but it was salty & small. Definitely not worth the money. It was as high as a red robin bill. They at least had unlimited fried fries & bigger burger & tasty at RR...disappointing read more

I went to this location on Tuesday May 26th 2015 around 2PM. The customer service was really good but the food was absolutely HORRENDOUS!!! It should not have been even called food. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it legit tasted like nothing. The chicken was burned and all I could taste was the nasty bun. I lost my appetite for lunch. My girlfriend ordered a burger and she hated it. I even asked the neighboring table and they hated their food as well. We were very excited to get smash burger but not anymore. Thinking about calling cooperate to do a food quality inspection because that was terribly unnecessary. PLEASE DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION! read more

Got BBQ Cheddar bacon burger with smash fries. Order came out quick. Fries were very tasty. Burger didn't stand out from any other BBQ burger. Little on the pricey side for lunch! Boom ! read more

Great burgers and french fries! Fresh yummy ingredients..I like that you can take your order to go and eat in the food court. I had the all American burger while my boyfriend had the mushroom one...we were both very satisfied! read more

I've gotten a burger here twice and it's been fantastic both times. The one in New Providence can be hit or miss sometimes, but this location has been pretty reliable. Pretty short line for being in the mall too. read more

Service was very great and quick when they opened but unfortunately it has gone downhill along with the quality of the food. Some days the food seems to take forever even when the restaurant isn't busy and they're understaffed. Also a bit ridiculous you have to show your receipt to the manager in order to use the restrooms read more

Food good, but the group I was with had orders incorrect...wrong burger or not adding/removing items requested to burgers

Firstly they skimp on the meat to make up for lost service so really while you think ur paying for 6 oz burger your really paying for a 4 oz burger ... also DONT work here ... my son was Waiting over 60 days for a paycheck .. giving him the run around ... shady people ... read more

My wife ordered burgers today and we were given the wrong order which the counter person refused to take back.0 stars Worst service ever. read more

They have plenty of different burgers to chose from. Providing great fast service with a comforting dine in. Quality of the food and presentation is great, the employees were decent and helpful when ordering food. The food was fresh and gave a great first impression. Supplying authentic burgers with variations of styles and sides. read more

just came here got a burger.... barely any meat . no toasted buns either dont come here. sad burger- bare burger & shake shack better. i repeat don't come!! read more

This is not particularly somewhere I frequent. The burgers in my opinion aren't all that great but my sister likes it so when I come here it's because I join her. Whatever. I was here tonight and the food was its regular mediocre but the reason I am reviewing this Smashburger location is because of how unprofessional the employees were. This location is inside Menlo Park mall and closes at 9:30. My sister and I walked in at around 9:20 (I know I know) but in my defense we weren't the only ones on line at that time placing orders the place was quite full with people. At around 9:28 the employees starting asking each other (quite loudly) "can I lock up?! I'm locking up" and at 9:29 exactly a loud voice from the kitchen says "lock the door!!!!" In front of customers super unprofessional. Ok I have never been in the food service industry but I can imagine being on your feet all day making burgers and taking orders can be tiresome but it's no excuse for being unprofessional in front of your customers. Try and make it less obvious that you are ready to smash your last gross burger and go home...at least for the customers sake. read more

Sign out front shows accepting American Express credit card, go to pay and refused card. I'll never shop at an establishment that limits what card I can use. read more

Horrible Service today!!!!!!! I waited over 20 minutes for a take out order and in the end the sandwich was made incorrectly to top of my bad experience!!!!! read more

This location cannot handle a crowd, and the food shows it. Theres not enough people in the kitchen cooking the food. God forbid you come here on a weekend. If you want dirty tables, a rushed burger, and cold fries, this is the place to go. read more

Dirty, tables sat unclean for over 30 minutes. Staff was unpleasant, cashier didn't smile and mumbled so I could barely understand her. Took over 20 minutes for our to go order. read more

Quite good. We had the bacon cheeseburger, the jalapeno guac burger, smash fries, onion rings and a salad. Very tasty and definitely better than Shake Shack where we ate last week. Many options for vegetarians. read more

Place is good the place needs extra help because they bring out meal before my shake. Sad really. The birthday shake July's special is so good. That's the best thing about this place. You get less shake if you take it to go. And the girl doing my shake when she had extra she kept it for herself. Mean my birthday shake! read more

Love Smashburger and this is a new location so service is really good. Food was fresh and really like the sweet potato fries. Hand spun milkshakes nice too. Only complaint is the ceiling is low resulting in it being very loud, especially when it's crowded. Can be a long wait ion weekends. read more

the food I had was very good but it was not my first choice had to settle for chicken instead of the hamburger I really wanted they can not make it rare people were friendly will come back if in the mood for chicken will have to some place else for a burher read more
