    Single Smasher plus fries
    John F.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Smashers definitely leans more "fast casual" than a traditional sit-down burger joint, so set your expectations accordingly. You order at the counter, grab your own drinks, and wait for your name to be called. No table service. The burger itself was decent. The patty had a crispy, almost crunchy sear, and there was a little kick of spice. The flavor was fine, though nothing that would pull me across town for a second visit. Bun was soft, toppings were fresh, and everything came out pretty quickly, so bonus points for efficiency. It's a little on the pricier side for what you get but not a wallet buster. Overall, Smashers is a solid option, but if you're looking for a "wow" burger experience this probably isn't it.

    Counter service with a smile!! What went well you ask! EVERYTHING went well! Great location, the restaurant was clean, and inviting! The Smashers team is very friendly, and nice! I ordered a traditional smasher with no cheese, called a single smasher. It was cooked to perfection. It was super tasty. The sauce was really good. I also ordered up order of French fries, their fresh cut shoestring fries they were crispy they were perfectly cooked as well. I would definitely suggest eating your french fries first as they taste the best when they are very hot. I was with two other friends. They both ordered the same exact thing. The only difference is one of my friends ordered the double smasher, which is two burgers everybody at my table enjoy their food. We all agreed that it tasted so good that we will be coming back for a visit. Hopefully next time I'll have room to try a milkshake. Again this is a must try if you haven't!! We definitely will be back soon!!

    Decent burger. I could have used a dash of salt but tasty and fresh. Great customer service . Place was clean . I would return. Simple and clean smash burger with fresh veggies . Business suggestion : maybe some different buns. And lettuce wrapped buns. Check them out

    First time here, found it on yelp searching in the area I was going to…read more Outside it's a small grey and black building, next to the laundry mat. I was craving a Reuben, so ordered a sloppy sailer. It was a Great sandwich, only thing that would have made it better is if it was served on marble Rye and toasted. The owner was cool and polite. The only recommendation I would give at the moment, except the marble Rye for the Reuben, would be to put an open sign in the left window, honestly when I pulled up I wasn't sure if it was open. Some ladies were getting a shake when I was in there, they said the shakes were really good but I didn't get one. I will definitely stop here again for lunch and try a different sandwich as well as maybe bring one of the grandkids to get a shake

    I finally got a chance to try Sloppy Sailors today through DoorDash. To give you the bottom line…read moreright up front,... WAY OVERRATED. I was highly disappointed. I ordered the Torpedo--which is essentially an Italian sub, The Chief--which is a burger, and vanilla milkshake. Not one item is anything I would ever order again. The Chief Burger - the patty was a hefty piece of meat, right on the verge of too thick. I could taste some light seasoning on the patty which I appreciated, but it could have been doubled. The patty was overcooked and dry, and the sandwich overall was very dry. Mine was missing any lubricating condiments. This burger was in desperate need of some mayonnaise or ketchup or more cheese or something to give it juiciness as a person who really loves smashburgers, this patty was really too thick and it was packed to tightly... It made it feel like it was heavy and sitting in your stomach, like a rock versus being a lighter more airy and tender type of patty. The top bun was sesame seeded, but dried out like it had been exposed to a heat lamp for too long (the bottom bun was fine). The Torpedo - this is an essentially an Italian with only two meats... Just ham and salami. It had all the right fixings for an Italian sub, and it matched the menu description; however, it just did not come together very well in my opinion. First of all the bread was thick and hard-ish (especially the top bread), making it hard to chew. I removed the top breads, and put the two bottoms together to make this easier to eat and cut out a few carbs at the same time. Lastly the Vanilla Milkshake - I had such high hopes for this based on reviews I had seen about it being a "real" milkshake, not from a mix, the time it took to make one etc. and alas, this too was a disappointment. Milkshake has hardly any vanilla flavor, and it was 75% foam -the effect you get when you overblend incorporating too much air and the shake had no body to it at all. It essentially dissipates on your tongue immediately without giving you the mouthfeel and satisfaction of the creaminess or even the coldness that one would expect from a milkshake. I took three sips from three different levels/areas of the cup to give this its best chance, but ultimately it was a two thumbs down experience. All in all, I deeply regret that I spent $35 having this meal DoorDashed to me... What a waste. I would still encourage anyone reading this review to try the restaurant for yourself, perhaps I caught them on a bad day. To give context, it was a rainy day, which perhaps means that There were more people using DoorDash than normal, and maybe they didn't get to make their food at the normal level of quality that they typically do, but I definitely caught them on a bad day or overall they are just overrated. Not sure which one and I doubt that I will try anything from them again. I tried my best to give them a decent opportunity to be great, trying something from a few different areas of the menu--nothing too exotic or complex--and every single item was a miss for me.

I've had the Crabby Benedict, the Sand Fiddler Special (eggs, meat, pancakes, toast, coffee), and one time I had a burger with beef, hash browns, eggs, cheese, and onions - loaded up and really good. The food always comes out hot, filling, and full of flavor. Even the pancakes, which at first looked like they might be the frozen kind, turned out to be homemade with little touches that let you know they care. The coffee's solid too - not that bitter Starbucks taste, just smooth and easy to drink. What I really enjoy is the cook in the back. Every time I come in, he's singing along with the music. He's got a nice voice and it sets a good vibe - not too loud, just happy. Having worked in restaurants myself, I know when the staff is enjoying themselves, it makes the whole place better. You can feel it in the food and the atmosphere. The café is clean, with artwork on the walls (for sale), plus bags and t-shirts since this area gets touristy in the summer. The waitresses are always kind and helpful - I even saw one go the extra mile helping a man who was having trouble get his food out to the car. That stuck with me. The guy at the register isn't the most smiley, but he does his job, no complaints. Overall, SandFiddler's is just a good, comfortable spot to eat. Not too loud, friendly people, and good food that fills you up. If you're in the area or don't mind a short drive, it's worth checking out.
