    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 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.

    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.

    Single, Smasher Style

    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.

    Lemme cut to the chase. Damn near busted all over the table. Hands down one of if not the best burger I've ever had and I know burgers. Fries had me giggling and drooling, hotdog was so good almost swallowed it whole like a seagull. Service was fast ash and I told the woman it was my first time and she walked me thru it, took my smashers virginity and hit me wit the aftercare. 10/10 definitely coming back no doubt about it. I'm bringing the squad to smash with em.

    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.

    Our Original Smasher Small Fry

    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 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!!

I ordered the meatball grinder with provolone, and it might be the best grinder I've had since moving to Virginia--hands down. The bread was absolutely top tier--toasted perfectly with the ideal mix of crunch and softness. The meatballs were flavorful, the provolone was melted just right, and everything held together beautifully. The only note I'd give is the sauce--it was a little heavy for my taste. Next time, I'll ask for light sauce, and I know it'll be perfect. My coworkers all ordered salads, and WOW--they're massive. Fresh, crisp, and definitely worth trying on my next visit. Presentation was on point, and everyone was raving about theirs. Overall, this place is definitely going on my repeat list. Quick service, generous portions, and flavors that hit.

The tacos were flavorful with fresh cilantro and onion, and the grilled cheese sandwiches came stacked with fun fillings like jam, grainy mustard, shrimp and multiple cheeses. They were a standout -- the ingredients blended nicely, full of flavor, and each bite had a good balance instead of feeling heavy. Portions were generous and presentation was appealing. That said, the meat and specifically the cheese grits leaned on the salty side, which took away from the overall taste. The ricotta pancakes were the highlight, absolutely delicious -- savory, light, fluffy, and adding blueberries gave them a pop of sweetness and flavor. We also grabbed desserts to go, and they were just as tempting as everything else on the menu. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Drinks stayed topped off and she was quick with recommendations. The atmosphere is casual and colorful with high-top tables, a lively bar area, and a bit of a hangout vibe. It feels like a good spot for a casual meal with friends or to grab drinks and tacos.

It was also super sweet. My boyfriend tried it and said the same thing. For food, we split two sandwiches: he got the marinated pork and I got the roasted pork. The roasted pork was honestly disappointing--almost all fat. I get that pork has some fat, but this was excessive. Most pieces were barely meat, and the texture was just not good. I ended up picking around it just to eat something. The marinated pork was actually pretty solid. But since the other sandwich was such a miss, we basically ended up eating a marinated pork and what felt like a veggie sandwich. Overall, I think we'll keep looking for other spots when we're in the mood for bánh mì.
