It is loud inside, BUT.. it is Saturday afternoon and the music is banging! Too chilly and wet for the patio today. There is bar seating that I missed because there is no TV. There was constant to go orders. Great twist on the all American burger... they smash it down to be very thin giving it a nice crisp. If you like your burger to be meaty- get the double or triple patty. This is near the College Campus, so students are coming and going and the music is geared to them. I am an old lady- so I had to hit and quit it quick! LOL. I got in- ate- and got out satisfied. Oh, the service is excellent!!! read more

Came here randomly for lunch one day last week and fell in love with the burgers here. I ended up taking my friend who was visiting from Canada here straight from the airport and he loved it as well. The plain Jane and the bbq smash burgers are the only two I've tried so far and they are both great. I think I prefer the plain Jane though. The loaded fries were also very good. The guy working the counter/register was also very nice and helpful as far as recommendations for what to order. read more

My all time favorite burger. Weird location and opening times but entirely worth a detour.

Nice burgers! Smashed extra thin, I went for the double stack with Mac sauce- was not disappointed. Also got the fries, which was a huge portion even for sharing. Quick and friendly service and a nice open dining space. read more

First stop on our trip to Richmond! Really enjoyed this burger, it definitely hit the soot!. Got there about 1:40, so we were the only guests. Staff welcomed us right in, we're friendly and quick to answer any questions. Ordering is done at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. The interior is pretty industrial and minimal, but all you need to eat a tasty burger! The food was quick, again, probably because we were the only ones there, but I suppose smash burgers don't take long to cook. Came out quick, with a generous portion of fries, enough for 2 people split. The burger was full of flavor, and their smash sauce is delicious! You can get any of their burgers with 1 patty, 2 patties or 3, just depends how hungry you are. Pricing is a little high, but I'd still recommend, the amount of food we got for the price was a good value. I'd certainly go back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Stopped in at SmashedRVA this morning to give it a try. All in all its is a good burger but I would not give it the top spot. Cobra keeps that title for the moment. Prices were on par with what I expected and service was friendly and prompt. I got the OG Smash and I'm unsure if it's just that particular menu item but it was incredibly salty, like lips burn salty. The burger itself was huge which is nice because I'm full which was the goal. My partners patty melt wasn't as salty and actually pretty good, the jalapeños were a nice touch. Their fries were not something I'd order again though as they were doused in some kind of seasoning making them incredibly salty which is disappointing given the rate they're charged at. I plan to visit again and see if it was a fluke and get the Mac Smash but that'll have to wait. read more

Food was good and service was great!! Place was very clean too great location for me as well .

Great burgers. Great service. Not sure if you can get plain french fries but the seasoning is too spicey for me.

YUMMMM! My partner and I were excited for Smashed RVA to open a brick and mortar location and they didn't disappoint. Below is a breakdown of my thoughts. -each patty size is about 4.5 ounces which is just above 1/4 lb - this size is perfect for me because 2 patty's is plenty filling; there's another burger spot (still amazing) where the patty's are under 4oz each and I always leave wanting just a little more, but not at Smashed RVA -the fries were hot, crispy and seasoned perfectly - they do appear to be frozen fries (nothing wrong with that); I prefer fresh cut fries but these were still amazing -their sodas are sold by the bottle, again nothing wrong with it but my partner noted that he prefers a fountain station (free refills) -I got the OG setup and added pickles - it was a great balance - not too many toppings so it wasn't too messy, but still enough to add flavor and dynamic -my partner noted that the burger "held together" well, not too messy or falling apart -staff was excellent - patiently answered my questions and checked on us while eating to see if we needed anything This place is the perfect addition to the Northside area! It's a tough competition in the burger game but I'd say Smashed RVA is in my top 3 for Richmond burger spots! I won't name the other two or rank them but they all serve smash style ;) read more

Seriously some of the best food in RVA. The owner is always super friendly and happy to explain the menu and offer advice on what to order. The place is super clean and you can tell they take pride in how the storefront looks. Plenty of seating and cool artwork to look at. Food is so delicious and fresh. Best burgers and fries! It is a little pricey, but if you want a quality smash burger with quality service, it's worth it! read more

I went to the Smashed RVA pop ups a few times with Ruben. They make a really good burger, but I didn't feel like it was anything to write home about. Granted, I like a lot of crap on my burgers, and Smashed is more straightforward goodness. Fast forward to the opening of their brick and mortar location, I got to explore their expanded menu, which is still short and sweet. The bbq bacon burger was perfection. It had more crispy around the edges than before and a bbq sauce that wasn't too sweet or messy. I'm an extra pickles person, and I should have ordered it that way. Those were some good pickles. The burger was a good sizel, and the bacon reminded me of the way my mama makes it, so there's that. The fries were also SUPER yummy and fresh. Malt vinegar is available. They sell bottles sodas and drinks, but also have a free water station for their customers. I think this is awesome. I'm really happy for this business. The owner seems like a great guy, and my husband is such a big supporter that Mike knows him by name. Maybe next time he'll know me by name too. read more

This is a REALLY good burger! Stopped in with a friend heading home from a road trip and found Smashed RVA on Yelp. It was a bit of a roundabout drive off the exit but it was worth it! The burger itself was cooked well and the cheese was perfectly ooey-gooey melty (semi-orgasmic eye roll). And I don't know if it's a regular thing, but B-Nay's Sweets was set up there with homemade cinnamon rolls and cookies. I got a melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon roll that had a perfectly balanced sweet and sour lemon-blueberry topping. Unfortunately, I was so full from the burger that I could only try a single bite, but I'm sure the rest will be just as good (or even better) warmed up when I get home. :) read more

First time getting SMASHED RVA from the brick and mortar. Solid 8/10, patty was paper thin at the sides. I guess I'll need to order more of the MAC sauce next time. read more

Got the OG Smashed burger with a double patty. It was a little salty but had lots of beef flavor. This is the spot for me if I want to satisfy a burger craving. Fries were good but not great. The area isn't in the best location - there's really nothing else around. Doesn't really matter much though because I was there for the burger and it did not disappoint. read more

My wife learned long ago, at a small dive named Sid's in El Reno, Oklahoma, that great burgers are smashed flat, with irregular edges, and blackened on a hot grill. We've lived in Richmond since the mid-80s, and since that time, we've been in search of a really great burger. There is literally no burger joint we haven't tried. Some almost live up to their reputation. Most fall short. But tonight, we found the holy grail. The team at SmashedRVA are not cooks or chefs, they are artists. The griddle is their canvas, and their medium is perfect beef, with just enough fat, onions, cheese, bacon, and more. Fortunately, they'll share their creations with anyone who walks in the door and puts a few bucks on the counter. The owner, Mike, is the Medici of ground meat, and his team is adding to Richmond's public art scene, one delicious burger at a time. If you've ever wondered what a perfect burger tastes like, just head out Brook Road and you'll find your answer. read more

I loved the crispy edges of the burger which was well seasoned. I'm definitely coming back. It was the service, the food and the great conversation for me!!!! read more

This is a sweet burger spot tucked away off of Brook Road. The interior is bright and clean, I like the decor. They have several vegan options. I got the Beyond Smashed burger and my wife had the chopped cheese, a Philly-type of cheese steak with beyond meat. They have a little selection of good local micro brews in cans. Service was super friendly and fast. read more

It's not fair comparing Smashed RVA to Five Guys because it's just better. The similarities are there though for sure. The price point is similar- this ain't Wendy's - and the fries are reminiscent of Five Guys. The beef Pattie's are what sets this place apart and the preparation is outstanding. There's a great crisp crunch to each bite but they manage to keep the Pattie's juicy and packed with flavor. The service is fast and professional. The ambiance is clean. read more

Got a double OG smash burger and a chopped cheese sandwich. Smashed them both (pun intended).

This was my first trip to Smashed RVA. The burgers looked delicious so I decided to give it a try. I'm unfamiliar with Northside Richmond, and had a bit of trouble finding the place with my GPS sending me on a whacky route, but I got there and found ample parking. The crowd was light and it didn't take long to get to the ordering station. The attendant was very helpful, friendly and informative of the couple questions I had. I ordered my lunch, and then had to give my phone number, which I hate doing because then they're going to send multiple texts when all they have to do is bring it out or call my name, and who knows what database my number is going to wind up in. I ordered the "chopped" cheese, with the burger meat chopped up instead of whole, and it comes on a sub roll. The roll was perfect! Moist and soft, end to end. They should all be like this. The meat automatically has onions cooked in it and they really make the sandwich good. The fries are served fresh cut Cajun style and are delicious. Food is brought out in a paper bag with handles, which seems a big waste of paper, whether it's to go or eat in. They have ketchup dispenser, yellow mustard, and for those like me who like malt vinegar on their fries, malt vinegar. Delicious! The floors are concrete, the tables are metal, and there's no ceiling below the ventilation system, so you know the acoustics in the place are horrible. But with a light crowd, it wasn't noisy. I guess my only real complaint is their lack of a fountain soda dispenser. You have to buy bottled sodas, and they are NEVER as cold as they would be over ice, plus there's no refill, and with the Cajun fries being a little spicy, I needed every drop of that 16 ounce bottle and then some. But this was just what I needed on a winter day for lunch. It was everything I had expected, and better. Bravo! read more
