    I moved to Norfolk in November, and Smashers has already become a regular in my restaurant rotation! The burgers and fries are always fresh and full of flavor! The smashers sauce is also really good, I love it on my burgers, but also to get a side of it to dip my fries in! This is a casual dining experience, you order at the counter, then wait for your name to be called at the window when your food is ready. It's a little longer than fast food, but it's really fresh and made to order.

    After three visits I'm convinced that Smashers needs to be updated to a 5. It's not just the fantastic burgers, oh they are fire!!! It's the entire business. I had an opportunity to talk to the owner Henry for the first time on my most recent. They are looking at expansion in Hilltop. I expressed my satisfaction with the operation. Smashers is definitely a contender for best burger in the 757.

    I'm rarely compelled to write reviews, but this experience warranted one. I ordered an Original Smasher (smasher style; smasher sauce, pickles, onions) and fries. At $18, I expected a high-quality smash burger and hot, well-executed fries, but both were underwhelming. The burger lacked the crispy sear you expect from a smash style and wasn't notably flavorful, and the fries were overcooked, under-salted, and flavorless. Service was also slower than expected for a simple order; there were barely that many of us waiting. This used to be a well-revered food truck. I almost gave this a 2-star review because the price point of $18 (that's the price WITHOUT a drink), but I'm not trying to tank this joint's average. Maybe it was an off day. I truly just want to give an honest review to temper all the glowing reviews that led me to this place today. I will not be returning.

    I had the chance to try Smashers at the Norfolk Premium Outlets with a sista friend on 6/6/26. I had seen a review by a local content creator and decided to try them out. I had a the Original Smasher w/ fries and a drink. The young lady that waited on us was friendly, offered suggestions and handed us our food when it was ready. They have both in and outdoor seating and played good music. The burger was tasty with good toppings, the fries are thin and they serve Coke products. Prices are very similar to Five Guys. The also serve hotdogs, and milkshakes. If you got a hankering for a good burger while in the 757, try them out.

    I recently tried Smashers Burgers and Fries and ordered the single Smashers-style burger with fries. The burger itself was tasty and flavorful, though a bit on the salty side. I really liked the pickles and soft bun--it held everything together nicely and added to the overall experience. Unfortunately, the condition of the restaurant took away from the meal. The floor was noticeably greasy, which was a bit of a turnoff and made the place feel less clean than I'd expect. Overall, decent food but the atmosphere could use improvement. Not sure if I'll be back.

    I had high hopes for smashers, but my visit left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. I ordered a single patty, and honestly I had to double check if there was actually meat on the bun. The patty was so thin it was practically see through, with random holes like swiss cheese. I get that it's a smashburger, but this one looked like it had been smashed out of existence The fries? Paper thin. Im talking about thinner than a receipt. They were super crispy, sure, but to the point where I wondered if I was just eating crunchy air. The oreo milkshake was ok nothing mind blowing. It did the job. Keep in mind this review is reflecting the quality of food not the service. The people working there were very kind and apologetic about any wait for the food.

    Smashers Burgers & Fries - Norfolk, VA Visited: April 15, 2026 First time trying Smashers, and my immediate impression was that it feels like a knockoff of Five Guys--very similar layout and menu style. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does set a certain expectation. The burgers are made with fresh ingredients and are definitely tasty, but they just don't hit that "wow" level. The buns, in particular, could be better--they didn't quite hold everything together or add much to the overall flavor. Solid burger, just not memorable. The fries were a bit of a letdown. They're cut very thin and came out slightly undercooked, which took away from what could have been a strong side. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but with options like Five Guys or In-N-Out out there, it's hard to see myself going out of the way to come back. If you're nearby, it's worth trying once--but probably not a repeat for me.

    Give this place a shot. First off, they have a great story, so I love supporting a local small business. The restaurant is keeping to the food truck feel, nothing fancy. Which means it is a fast food service. Not saying that is bad, don't expect table service. The burger is solid, but nothing fancy. Quality products and good skills make good food. I really enjoyed the bun, buttery and soft. Also, the price is good, I think this is very reasonable for what I ordered. If you're at the outlets and looking for a quick meal, give this place a try. I would absolutely go back.

    I found this spot on accident today. I just happen to be staying at the hotel next-door and drove by to see what all they had. It's really nice inside and they have plenty of parking for everybody. I ordered the OG smasher and small fry. My order came out pretty fast and when I saw it sitting there on the tray, it was beautiful. The burger was pretty good size and loaded with all the toppings you'll ever need. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the fries were nice shoestring crunchy crispy fries. They had some pretty cool music playing too . This was a 10/10

    It was my first time here and it didn't disappoint. The burger and fries were really good. I ordered the single smasher and added on the fry and drink combo. I loved the grilled onions and smasher sauce. Everything tasted fresh. The service was good. My only concern is that the cashier didn't know what was in the smasher sauce. However, they asked someone else. The seating was plentiful.

    I'm no stranger to getting smashed. I've been getting smashed since 2021. When I frequent a day trip to Cape Charles I always hit up Smashers Burgers and Fries. I had the opportunity to finally get smashed at their brick and mortar location near the Norfolk Outlets. My go to order is a single smasher with grilled onions, smasher sauce, pickles, mayo, lettuce, extra cheese with fries. The burger has great flavor and was cooked to perfection. The bun is so soft, yet there is a wonderful crisp to it, as they toast it in the grill. Tonight I also ordered a hot dog. I love that it is sliced down the middle. I kept it very typical 4th of July, ketchup and mustard. I love that the bun was also toasted. The hotdog was simple, but packed good flavor. I love the look in the inside. A simple take on how it started, a food truck look. There is about 11 tables to sit at. Parking is plentiful. Service was good. Questions were asked. Orders came out fairly quick as they are made to order. The only thing missing was the clacking seagulls, the sounds of waves and the sand beneath my seat. My only complaint was the condiment bar was missing napkins, and my fries were overcooked to my liking. But, that's nothing worth taking a star away. I do think napkins could be on the table, and a dispenser for ketchup instead of packets would be better.

I came here after reading many…read morepositive reviews and then checking out their menu and I knew they were a fun and interesting place for lunch. I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different. There were only two people waiting for food when we arrived, and after ordering, we waited over an hour without receiving our food. We finally had to inquire about our order, and a few minutes later it was ready. Sadly, the food wasn't nearly as good as it was during our last visit. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, we all ended up eating about half of our meals and tossing the rest. It's disappointing because we had such a great experience here just a few months ago. Based on today's experience, we would not recommend this place. Hopefully this was just an off day, but unfortunately, it was not the experience we had hoped for.

It was tasty but lacked seasoning. When I sat down, I noticed a lot of salt on the table....i understood why haha as I found myself sprinkling salt throughout out. They were crunchy and tender on the inside. Getting to this location was super easy and they own their own parking lot which is free for patrons. If you're not able to find parking, they have plenty of paid street parking. I also want to add that they do offer discounts but to service members who are in uniform. Service members rarely ever wear their uniforms just to dine out unless they are on official orders or are working full time. I find that a bit unfortunate because the value veterans and military service members bring should be honored while they are and are not in uniform so I hope that the management changes that policy someday. They offer no other forms of discounts as I asked about teachers and emergency personnel too just to give people something additional when seeking this place out. It's still a good lunch spot tho.
