    I have gone to Smashville a few times and have always been pleased. Firstly service is always amazing and quick. I got my burger within minutes of ordering. So if you are in need of a quick bite especially before the train, this is the place to go. The quality of Smashville is amazing too. All the good is extremely tasty and made with good quality! This has to be the best smash burger I have gotten in the New Jersey area. They have an upstairs seating area which is quite reserved and a nice addition. They also ways seem to have a decent crowd and overall an aesthetic place to eat. Please try them out if you are in the area!!

    My mom and I wanted to grab something light while visiting New Brunswick. We decided to check out Smashville since it was nearby and had good reviews. We both got the single tender and Cajun fries. It was a little spicy but really good! We ate upstairs and it was clean and not too many people. I felt like this was a good choice.

    Very nice food with good burger buns, pickles, and sauce. The pattys were juicy and well cooked with good flavor. Service was quick with nice customers. Place is cool with good amount of seating upstairs.

    Great spot for a chicken sandwich. Get the chicken Sammy with everything on it. The spicier it is, the more flavor it packs. The bun is a brioche bun I believe and it was amazing with the chicken. The fries were mediocre so I would skip those. We had the burger too but a little too greasy for me. I would definitely come back here again for the chicken Sammy

    I love getting 7th street when in NYC and always crave it when I'm home in NJ so I was thrilled to see Smashville, though skeptical about whether or not it could match 7th street. Recently ordered it for delivery and was pleasantly surprised. Got a double smash burger with dirty fries. My family tried an array of other items including some mild tenders, a medium chicken sandwich, and an impossible burger. The fries were delish and their spicy smash sauce is no joke. Definitely has quite a kick to it, but the flavor is awesome. All the chicken was crisp on the outside but incredibly juicy on the inside. The smashed burger pattys just the size, thin enough that they were crispy on the edges but not too thin. Everything was truly delicious. Can't wait to get Smashville again!

    Came here on a rainy Wednesday night. The place was pretty packed but we managed to get a table upstairs. We got a single smash with no onions, a medium spiced chicken sandwich and cajan fries. The food came out fairly quick. The burger was just ok, the chicken sandwich was also ok. The chicken was spicy and high quality. The cajan fries tasted old and had wayyy too much seasoning on them. All in all, I prefer Bunz and Shakes around the corner.

    I came to smashville on a Friday for lunch. When I went in the restaurant was relatively empty, although they were taking phone orders. My order number was four so I'm assuming I was the fourth order that day and I was told it would be a 10 to 15 minute wait. Talking with the woman behind the counter she was very nice and I was unsure what to get. They don't have any sort of combinations which is kind of annoying but I've been to other places like this and they have similar menu setups. The chicken tenders were $4.50 per chicken tender which I thought were expensive. But the woman said that the chicken tenders are very large and that usually people eat one or two. I debated getting it but the sandwich called out to me more and decided to go with the sandwich. I also got a side of their fries and I really like them. There is no seating downstairs, however the upstairs has a fairly roomy seating area. When I went there there was no one there. So if you had to sit down you likely would have had the place to yourself. All in all I really like the chicken. It was pretty good. As a last minute tip, as someone who likes to eat spicy food, I went with a mild and was happy. I asked the woman behind the counter and she said all of their spice levels include Carolina reaper pepper. It's just different amounts and the different levels. Also, when I ordered standing close to the counter, I guess I was close enough to the kitchen where it was mildly uncomfortable because of the spice in the air. Maybe I'm more sensitive to that although I do like spicy food but just something to think about when ordering.

    Chicken Single Tender $4.50

    Met a couple buddies here for dinner and to catch up and the food was excellent. We each ordered the triple smash, with 1 mild tender and shared an order of smash fries. The smash fries were the favorite. The smash sauce is really really tasty. The burgers were very good as well. The chicken tenders were good, but nothing out of the ordinary compared to the other items and $4.50 each. Our only issue is that they really need to upgrade their exhaust and ventilation system. The kitchen is downstairs and seating upstairs so the smoke was coming into the upstairs pretty regularly and it wasn't too busy. We hung out for longer than most customers probably do, but our clothes smelled when we got out of there so they def need to fix that. Def will come back again, maybe just grab takeout though.

    The place was nice, I liked that there's seating upstairs. The staff was friendly and my food came out quickly. The burger and fries were really delicious, I loved the sauce on the burger! But I just wished it was a little bigger since it was $6.50

    Single Patty

    Customer service was great. Chill vibe and lots of seating upstairs. The chicken sammy was great and mild was the perfect spice level. Single patty was also really good.

    Hubby and I ate here today and are super satisfied. Everything was fresh and made to order. The cashier was patient as we reviewed the menu which is hanging above. Loved the decor, very cute. We will definitely be eating here again in the future many times. The smashburger was just how should be-juicy but crispy on the edge. The chicken Sammy was 10/10 for me, I got the mild plus because I enjoy spicy food and it was delicious. Bun to chicken ratio was on point! My Cajun fries had a ton of seasoning which I like. I'd recommend giving it a try.

    Came highly recommended by a friend group and did not disappoint! Its a bout a 5 min walk from the Hyatt Regency were we were staying for a convention and as it was our first time in the area we wanted to try out all the local spots. Smashville's menu is simple, straight foreword and that's the charm of it! You can order a smashburger with 1, 2 or 3 patties (comes with onions and smash sauce almost like a mayochup sauce), Nashville style chicken sandwich, tenders, with varying degrees of hotness from mild to really hot, and fries seasoned and/or with their sauces. They also offered bottled drinks to go. A friendly cashier took our order and we had our food in 15 min or less. There's not a huge waiting area and it did fill up a bit with people waiting but the cooks filled the orders in a timely manner so it wasn't crowded for long. They do a ton of take out orders but have a larger sit down area upstairs if you want to dine in. Being our first time we just got burgers 2 patties each and split a pain order of fries. I'm not a huge fan of smash burgers but this place got it right! Super juicy, messy sauce and chopped onions and a ton of flavor! Even the plain fries were seasoned and fried perfectly! Already planning another trip back if we're in the area again. Just a word of warning, a friend in another group got the extra hot smash fries with jalapenos cause he's used to spicy food. When the cook questions if you really want that, you know they mean HOT. He said it was amazing but regretted the heat later that night. I'd stick to the more milder spice levels cause they don't mess around with their hot sauces.

The shakes are solid and the side of mac and cheese, I fully didn't expect to get that large of a serving, but it was so great also. While the meal was on the pricier side considering you're getting a bunch of junk food, it was definitely tasty and a perfect restaurant for a college town!

A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

The 2nd time I ordered the Veggie Wrap which I decided to turn into a sandwich. That didn't work so well. The burgers were good too. The items all had the option of fries or salad. All the food was good, except the fish and chips was batter and very little fish. The old school ambiance is really nice. The restaurant has an upstairs and downstairs dining area, each with its own bar. If in the area for a show, Tavern on the George has it down to a science getting all the groups in and out in time. Although, the food is nothing special, I'd come here again.

I asked for her recommendations and of course she suggested the burger. I took her up on that option and ordered a bacon cheeseburger. She said the fries were also a must. I was extremely hungry, so I also ordered the Chicken Club Burger, crispy instead of grilled. She asked me if there was anything else I needed and I jokingly said a side of heat. She checked with the other patrons inside to see if they were cold along with Jenn who was working and they concurred as well. Within minutes she was on the phone with the owner who quickly addressed the issue by cutting on the heat. A few moments and I could tell things were warming up. Now onto the food. Everything was hot. The burger was delicious, but nothing was too special. The fries were seasoned well and had a spicy sauce to go with them. The Fried Chicken club was AMAZING! By far the biggest chicken sandwich I had ever eaten. The chicken was juicy. I could taste the cheese and the bacon. The chicken was way bigger than the bun. I wish I had ordered two. Overall I had a fabulous time here. The seating area was clean. Customer service was excellent. They made sure I was taken care of. The food is good. If I'm in the area again id definitely stop by.
