    Smashed Burger
    Deneen S.

    Thursday 8/14/25 12:54pm Add a taste for a burger called smashed RVA asked a couple questions decided to order the plain. Jane smashed with a double patty. Paid for it over the phone picked it up. Arrived home 10 minutes later. Ready to crush! Smh very disappointed. This was my second time here. The first time I ate in house and I wasn't that impressed but it was was OK so I thought I'd give it another try. This time, you know if you know that the damn restaurant business is fucking competitive do better The first thing I noticed was the bun was extremely greasy, the top of the bun. It hardly had any lettuce on it, and the bread was soggy. Unbelievable. I really wanted to be excited about this, but the excitement is gone.. If you know that the restaurant business is competitive, do better. My current pictures are from the blue and white paper plate.

    One burger for each hand and fries covered in all the things

    Im a burger fanatic. A good burger can go in any plans on any day for me. This place has GREAT burgers! Juicy, that perfect blend of smashed crispiness and juiciness, and the creative specialty burgers are worth a trip every time one is released. And if you're particularly greedy like me lol, you can get fries topped with all the same toppings the burger has! If you're in Richmond you better go get a burger or three or your selling yourself short! If you're not in Richmond it's worth the trip just find something else to do for the rest of the day lol

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great burger spot easy to get to and bright inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted by the staff immediately. He took the time to tell us about each burger and the difference between them all. The burgers were so well seasoned you didn't need anything but the bun. I do wish the burger bun was a little more defined. All in all this is a great spot to get a great smash burger that is prepared well and tastes delicious.

    Menu

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very spacious and inviting space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cashier was super nice and patient. The food was pretty good. I got the beyond plant based burger with Cajun fries. The burger was a tad bit salty. The food is definitely made to order was piping hot when it came out. Our wait was not long at all. We also got a chopped cheese and it was skimpy for lack of a better word. I forgot to take pictures of the food . We paid $40 for the double plant based burger, an order of fries, skinny chopped cheese and 2 bottled drinks. Oh and by the way they only sell bottled or canned drinks and beer.

    Was really hyped to try this place after i've seen all the raving reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty spacious, lots of seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My boyfriend and I ordered the plain jane smash, mac smash, and some fries. Not sure why but it took a bit of time to come out. Unfortunately, I didn't really love either burger. The fries and burgers were both average in my opinion. I think I ordered cajun fries and it tasted like they just threw old bay on it. I was really disappointed because I've heard such good things about this place. I think RVA has some amazing burger spots which set the bar pretty high (beauvine & jack brown). Overall, my experience was just okay. I don't think i'd be back but definitely would recommend to give it a try for yourself!

    Fries... I would go unsalted and unseasoned

    I was soooo excited to come try the smash burgers at Smashed RVA... the pictures and reviews absolutely seemed amazing! But... and it's a big big but... I cannot lie. The patties are way way way too salty! If the patties weren't salted so heavily, it would be one of the best burgers I've had... it almost makes me want to drop it to a 3 star review... But I love everything about this place from decoration, ambiance, the bun, shredded lettuce, and fries. The staff are friendly and helpful and everything else is perfect. I really do hope that it was just a one off... that there was an accident w the salt shaker.

    Environment was friendly and very inviting. Staff was friendly and attentive. First time visitor with the family, overall the meal was good but we the burger was over salted to our tasting. (note: my family and I don't ever agree on salt tasting but all felt it was over salted). The Baja Limeade was - loved it. We made a special deviation to check this place out and believe we will give it another try when we're back in that area.

    Ever since their pop-up days, Smashed has been a delightful dining experience. Their brick-and-mortar location follows suit. I've had several of their offerings, but the chopped cheese and the Mac Smash with a single patty (add bacon) are my favorites. Their fries are tasty too, with just a slight kick to them. They pair well with their ranch sauce. Service has been consistently friendly and prompt as well. Their new space is a great size, clean, and matches their brand well. I don't have even the slightest of a critique -- they are fantastic all around and serve up some of the best burgers in Richmond for sure.

    Updating my review... I originally docked a star due to the price, but I'd rather spend my money here at a local business than somewhere like Five Guys whose prices vary based on the neighborhood (you can guess which types of neighborhoods get the higher prices). And I can't say it's not worth the price because my goodness, the burgers and fries are so damn good. Besides, the owner Michael is incredibly kind and helpful, and you can tell he really cares about his business. I watched him promptly wipe down the table every time people finished dining and left while manning the register and serving the orders when ready.

    I'm not really a burger person but I did enjoy the bbq burger here! (Looks kinda crazy in my pic but i promise it was awesome) It was perfect, not too salty and not too sweet from the bbq. The patty was even a bit crispy on the outside and held juicy flavour on the inside! If i do crave a burger i usually go to beauvine. This place was a pleasant surprised and had amazing service! They also had the bottled root beer by barqs as a choice which i don't see too often. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the theme and the little merch they sell too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The yellow designs make it such a nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely go again even if it was just to pick up food!

    This was good. We had somewhat of a Phili. Hease steak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restraint was comfortable with nice seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was good and quick.

    Awesome Smashed Burgers!!! As good as when they popped up at different breweries across town. Nice location with a good amount of tables and a large counter area with seating. Freshly renovated space so everything is bright clean and new. Staff was super friendly and noticed that they cleaned tables immediately upon seeing a customer leave. I'm wondering if there's plans to expand the menu or eventually offer different fries. I like the Cajun fries but I would prefer traditional fries instead. I didn't mind when consuming them at a brewery as I was able to wash them down with a cold beer. I did notice that there was an empty refrigerator with a sign stating "Beer will be available soon". One critique to the actual smashed burger. I feel they may be over salted but it might be me as I often avoid salty foods but these burgers are still awesome. I believe they will do well here as there's a good size parking lot as well.

Parking in the area is a little difficult and Sunday at lunch is no different. We were able to find street parking a few blocks down and were happy to enjoy the Spring weather. Eazzy Burger is a bit off of W Leigh St but adjacent to Ardent Craft Ales. The shared outdoor patio was casual with a contemporary flare and filled with Richmond 20-somethings. We easily found a table, put our things down, and headed in to Eazzy Burger to place our orders. The first thing I noticed is how creative the menu is! Craft burgers with a variety of options... everyone will find something they like. You place you order at the counter and then wait at your table until they call your name so be prepared! It took about 20 minutes (10 minutes less than what they told us!) for our 5 top to get our orders. The burgers were massive and the fries were cooked to perfection. An order of fries was missed but when I mentioned it to the expeditor at the counter, he was quick to remedy the situation. All in all, a 5 star experience!

The server, Briana, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Personable, great smile, friendly, and knew her stuff. We ordered the brussel sprouts- they were great with a nice heat from the sauce. We had the crispy skin salmon, which came with a nice fresh salad, The skin was amazingly crispy and the flesh was flavorful. I asked Briana to surprise me with something good and boy did she deliver. It was their porkchop served over some super tasty mashed potatoes. Note that this is not how they are usually served, it was Briana's favorite way to eat this dish so she made the decision for me. The porkchop was very very good. Nice grill marks, onions, and a very nice cream-based sauce. This was so so good. They are doing great food at this new location and I will be back again.

It's a very popular restaurant, so today, when we entered, while we were greeted right away, there was a 30 minute wait. The time actually went by relatively fast, and by the time we were seated, large cups of ice water were already there at our table, as well as a carafe to refill them. There's no physical menus, instead you scan a QR code which brings you to their menu. They have lots of drink options, including several specialty cocktails, beers, and ciders. Our waiter was super sweet and attentive, and the food came out relatively quickly. For my drink, I ordered a local cider from a Virginia ciderie, as well as the It's A Wrap, which has cheddar, ranch, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and your choice of protein (I got tofu). I also got a side of the Mac and cheese, which I could tell was made in house. Super creamy and flavorful with a hint of spice. My wrap was also insanely good! I'm impressed by the amount of vegetarian options here. Any burger can be made both gluten free or vegan, and the choices of protein make it more accessible for everyone who comes in. I'm really happy we were recommended this place!

The thing I love here is the sauce options you can get with your order. Don't skip on trying them. Their burgers come with a salad and I wish there was another option like small fries or chips. Paying additional for fries makes the burger too expensive. Overall, I do recommend Burger Bach especially in Carytown where you can walk around afterwards. Just hoping they rethink those sides.
