Fantastic location and service at the Manhattan Beach location. Love the modern decor, indoor and outdoor seating. The food here is a package well for takeout and keeps the temperature and freshness well. I got the double smash colorado burger along with the Brussell sprouts side which was large for the portion. They also offer cold brew coffee here. The Smashburger concept is unique as they flattened the patty for a larger grilled surface area. Love the open kitchen atmosphere here and there is tons of shops in the shopping center as well very conveniently located. read more

This is a new Smashburger location in the Manhattan Village mall. TIP: It's hard to find as mall maps are next to impossible to find on foot and not available at all from your car. Park near the bank and you'll see Smashburger. It faces away from the mall itself; it faces Sepulveda - which makes it that much harder to find for the first time. We've been here now 3 times and the staff are nice. They keep a clean shop. Lighting is bright and airy. Kids dig the casual vibe. Outdoor dining available. Probably one of the more affordable places in the mall - we see teenagers here grabbing bites. Hubby and I lived off Smashburger for a while after our first kid so we love the chain and got used to the Redondo Beach location. I think this MB location is getting into its operational groove. Pick up lines have had longer wait times - fries getting cold (ack). Perhaps the burgers will be a little more pink (as I like it) in the future -- I can ask for that next time if I remember. RB Smashburger seems to cook a bit less through. Please use VERY LIBERAL SALT AND PEPPER for the meat! It's a bit lacking right now. We'll be back! Keep working on it! read more

Favorite burger spot in Manhattan Beach. Love that it's local. Really fast service and friendly atmosphere.

Yum yum yum!!! I loved this event! Any sandwich off the menu, any drink (including shakes) and a side all for free! Pays off to write so many honest reviews huh? But anyway, on to the actual review....Smashburgers was a hit (no pun intended)! It was my first time having it! The burger was juicy and the pickles were so good! I got the classic burger! Fries are really good too. But wow that ghiradelli shake was delicious!!! I shouldn't have gotten it, but it was free! Overall I'd come back! Thank you Yelp for the free food! Parking is in the shopping center! Pretty easy to find. Manhattan village mall area read more

I arrived around 5pm. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. They had a smile on their face as they cheerfully locked eyes with me. Nice hip music playing in the background. Tables and floors were clean. I came as they were working on a big online order. Told me it would be about a 45min - 1hr wait, I didn't mind (and I was waiting for traffic to die down so ‍). I heard great things about this place and wanted to try for myself, and I'm more patient than the average person. I do appreciate the 4 people working and doing their best trying to get everything done. Your work does not go unnoticed. I ordered the Breakfast Smashburger ($8.59) with no cheese (I'm not a cheese person), but added avocado ($2 extra) and a regular fry ($3.69). Everything came out to be $15.31. On the receipt at the bottom you can earn points. Just sign up at their website: www.smashburger.com Was offered a water cup along with my wait. I happily accepted the accommodation. (the water is refreshing) I sat at the high bar in front of the window facing the sun. 3rd chair from the wall. The bar tables have sockets where you can charge your mobile device. I appreciate the thought put into this. (I did also walk around the area and until my food was ready) There were a bit of people who walked in wanting to order but was told it would be a 45min wait. It is now 5:55pm and a few people who were waiting in line were told it would be a 20min wait, but I also received my food. Yes, they did apologize for the long wait as well. Added Ketchup to my fries. They could of been a bit more fresh. Mine were a lil on the cold side. The burger itself was good, but I feel like I'm either missing some seasoning or some type of sauce to tie everything together. If my fries were fresh and if I didn't have to wait so long, even though I was okay with it, I would of gave . read more

I came here for lunch one Sunday. Ordered the smoked bacon brisket burger and the smashtots. The tots were nice and crispy with a hint of rosemary. The oil was only one some tots not all the tots. At first, I thought nothing was added to tots and just got regular tots. Definitely did not taste any garlic. The bacon brisket burger wasn't what I expected. I thought it was going to be thin slices of brisket but it was a thick cut like a tri-tip. It was also hard. It had so much bbq sauce and oil that the buns were soaked. If you love bbq sauce, great. If you only like moderate amount, then you might need to let them know to be light on it. They probably tried to hide or soften the brisket. The patty was not meaty at all, and it was dry. Overall, not sure I ordered the right burger. It was okay. Come back? Probably not. Inflation is on display here. The staff was professional. The place only had one other customer so it was clean. There's two TV's, with one showing a football game so that was nice while I was waiting for my food. This restaurant is located in the new Manhattan Village, so parking is shared with the whole shopping center. There are some EV charging stations (not free). read more

One of the best burgers out there...and tater tots too. Don't really care for the fries/tots with the rosemary, garlic oil though.

The food is excellent. The service is outstanding and the restaurant is very clean and has music. The menu has so many options. There's something for everyone even vegetarian. read more

Ok yall back for round two lol. Initially I was coming to try something different from the first time, but I remembered how good it was and ordered it again. , but this time with fries not the sprouts. When I tell you this Mothapluka tasted like my dreams. Oh my. So good just like before. Customer service still on point and quick. Keep up the good work I'll be back next dream. read more

Recently, I had my second visit to Smashburger. Ordered the Double Bacon and Fries. It was noon and place was pretty empty, which was strange. Service was good and like the drunk refills. Fries were okay, and you get a good portion. The burger, however, was off. Just didn't like the flavor but seemed cooked okay. But, the rest of the day, I didn't feel that good stomach-wise. Hmmm...maybe another burger place is in my future. read more

Went here for dinner tonight and I didn't feel anything positive. The gentleman taking my order named John was very un engaged, un welcoming, and when they got one of our orders wrong he came very strong with his tone and sounded rude. John was also rude to an older man that went back to correct his order. Service was so bad they got all of our orders wrong. They give you numbers for your order and when they came to our table they didn't even know who were they bringing the food too. My son was ignored by John when he asked a question in front of my face and to finish off they gave us an extra burger and they didn't notice. Some chick in the kitchen was making faces when my sister went to address a wrong ingredient on her burger. So think twice before coming or speak up about the lack of good service when is given by people that are supposed to be trained to service you! read more

Food was good. Service is good. Only down fall most of the tables were all dirty they need to be better about wiping down after guest leave. The tater tots were delicious read more

My husband and I stopped by for lunch today. He had the Double classic, I had the chicken smash burger. We also had shared an order of smash fries. Fernando helped us and was very efficient and so pleasant and friendly! This location is always very clean and stocked. It is our favorite Smashburger to come to visit! read more

Came here for another indulgent lunch with coworkers and the service has improved. It's understaffed but there's a sign indicating that and everyone is trying their best. There was a wait for the food (around 15-20 minutes) but it's not that bad. The rosemary tater tots are still my favorite side to get. The burgers look to be on the smaller side but are very filling. The brisket burger that I got put me in a food coma afterwards. Smashburger is on my team's rotation of places to go eat, and with it's proximity to Sidecar, you can be in for an indulgent food fest. read more

Smashburger - BBQ Bacon Cheddar Black Bean Burger - Burgers Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Place was empty. Clean enough, except for greasy floors, you know how your shoes slide a bit. Service was very good. Fries were fresh. Worst burger I've ever had. I got the Avocado Bacon Club. Flavorless mush. The entire burger was flavorless. It had mayo and still flavorless! The avocado looked like it came out of a toothpaste tube, tasted like nothing. The burger itself seemed completely unseasoned. I could taste bacon, so I guess there's that. But seriously, we are in SoCal. Worst burger. Go elsewhere. read more

As soon as I walked in, the place was clean and basically empty. Walked up to the counter and ordered Bacon Double Smash, smash tots, fries and a drink. The burger was good. It just felt it had too much mayo. The fries were crispy as it should be and the smash tots were delicious too. It had that garlic taste which I enjoyed. I had a great meal. read more

Here is another dilemma of mine. I really want to do 3 1/2 stars but yelp does not allow that. I went to the place in Manhattan Beach. Very clean. Very friendly staff. Tables could've used a little more wiping but that's OK Ordered regular burgers and fries. Were out in about five minutes. Staff brings it to your table. There is a self-serve Fountain beverage Machine. Overall the burgers are very decent. The price is middle of the road. I can't help comparing them to five guys or In-N-Out Burger. I think five guys is a little more expensive but well worth it. And I think in and out was a little cheaper and more of a fast food feel. I would definitely eat here again read more

The 1star is for Yelp/GrubHub order process. Obviously the food is amazing here. For Yelp/GrubHub orders, this is NOT an automated process. The store do not know about the order until I arrive and then they had to manually input my entire order to have it made. I was told by the store mgr that when Yelp/GrubHub orders get placed, they don't get an notification or a chime about the order. Seems crazy for a national burger chain NOT to have food app orders automated into their ordering system. This delay cuts my lunch time 10 mins short. read more

Another good entrant in the slightly-upscale, fast casual burger world. I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and Smash Fries - the burger was tasty and definitely hit the BBQ bacon cheeseburger spot, but was a little bit dry and could use more spiciness. Adding hot sauce raised it to another level. The fries were on point - well seasoned and crisp on the outside. You're looking at $11 or so - it's not cheap, but it is tasty. read more

A shout out to the amazing folks at the Yelp Elite Squad for putting this delightful experience together! Smashburger is in a stand alone building as part of a huge mall on Sepulveda Blvd (PCH)) in Manhattan Beach. The building and interior look new. Plenty of tables indoors and about half a dozen or 8 outside, in the front. Easy, free parking. You order at the counter. Be prepard to spend at least 5 minutes looking at the overhead menu board as all the food sounds delish. I went with the truffle mushroom & Swiss cheese burger. The staff bring yur food to your table. Maybe because of Covid, it was in a to go bag. Everything I needed was in the bag. I had onion strings as a side which were fresh cut and fried to a golden brown color. The way they should look. Bomb. The milkshake was very good. Smashburger ain't cheap. With the tax it came to over $20. But most decidedly worth it. I will be back! read more

I know they are a chain but there aren't any near where I live so they are a novelty to me. I got the Mac and Cheese burger taking a gamble on the creative and it payed off. It was down right delicious! The Mac and cheese didn't take over the beef and the beef didn't take over the Mac and cheese. It was a perfectly harmonious balance of savory, creamy, and gooey. I also got the onion ring straw thingys and they were just ok. The staff was friendly and relatively quick for a made to order place. It was clean inside but the ambiance is very much a chain style. read more

The most basic of burgers, the Classic Smash Burger, is a test of the meat, cheese, bread, and sauce. You can always add fancier toppings and ingredients, but if the fundamentals are off, you are overpaying for something you can make at home. For $9, I'd rather go to In N Out or Shake Shack. read more

Got a double Reuben with smash fries and felt like a little fatty. It was delicious. I didn't think it was overly salty as other reviewers have mentioned. Maybe they adjusted. I enjoyed the meal and would be back. The only thing I'd say is compare to in and out it's more premium but also the price prob double. Def a new place so just have some patience. Feels like everyone working here is doing the best. This whole plaza is pretty new as well. I appreciated that my take out order was sealed. So in the future if I order from delivery I know it's not tampered with. read more
