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.

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!!

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.

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

Triple Patty
Rishi L.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Single Patty Burger and Fries

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

Double Patty Burger, Chicken tender, Reg fries
Daphne M.

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.

Chicken Sammy with Medium Sauce
Joseph F.

Stoked to have high quality Nashville hot chicken in downtown New Brunswick! I ordered the Chicken Sammy with medium spice level and it delivered. The chicken was fried to perfection and the ratio of coleslaw to hot sauce to chicken was on point. The brioche bun was fresh and paired perfectly. I went during the lunchtime rush, and we did have to wait a good 5-7 minutes before someone took our order (it's counter service). There is not much room in the ordering area, but the upstairs fits about 25 people comfortably. Once we were served, the staff was kind and the order came out quick. The restaurant is on George St. so parking can be challenging. But if you're walking the city or work downtown and looking for a meal, Smasville is worth checking out.

Smash fries
Yasser H.

Another smashing visit at Smashville. We ordered smash fries, chicken Sammy mild sandwich and chicken Sammy hot version. Sammy sandwich. 5/5. The sandwich Ja absolutely delicious. Chunky breast of chicken seasoned to perfection and fried. Served on potato buns with coke slaw and the awesome sauce. Smash fries. It's a meal in it self. Generous portion of French fries topped with cut up chunks of chicken breast and served with coke slaw, pickles and that awesome sauce. Will be back soon.

This is a great place to eat for some over the top junk food (topped with Cheetos and things of…read morethat nature) so be forewarned. But man is the food there good. The chicken sandwich was nice and crispy topped with their homemade coleslaw and sauce. The Nutella shake was so good, just wish it was bigger .

They made the food fresh, it it took mad long for there to be absolutely no one in here. I used the bathroom and was welcomed by a bowl full of piss. The service started off cool but once I notified the cashier that she charged me for fries I didn't order, she acted like I made the mistake. The best part is, you go and pick up your food by reaching over the garbage cans. The cheese fries were 10 out of 10... A nice amount of cheese whiz, plus the fries were like the coated type of fries so they were able to withstand the Cheese and maintain their integrity throughout. The wings were an 8 out of 10, I love the crispness of the wings, and the flavor, plus the garlic Parm sauce was really good, but I just wish they would've poured the sauce on the wings directly. Nonetheless, they were really good and worth ordering again.. My Son said the burrito is an 8 out of 10. I got the triple smash, and it was kinda good, however, the OG sauce is something I could go without never having again in my life and be very happy. 7/10 The milkshakes aren't bad either. I like that they were thick yet smooth at the same time if that makes sense. Although the last quarter of My Son's shake was straight ice cream that he needed a spoon to finish. also, they use paper straws that get soggy by the time you get to the end of the shake. 5.5/10 Overall, this wasn't a bad experience. The food was definitely the savior here after the trash service and horrible smells. I can just see why everyone got their food to go. If we were here for all of 45 minutes to an hour, about five customers came in to either pick up online orders via food carriers, or came in and ordered to go. Next time I'll Uber Eats.

I arrived in New Brunswick by train, which is to say I trusted the machinery of civilization to…read moredeliver me to lunch. It did. 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.

Delicious! Great variety of sausages and toppings to choose from. If it's your first time, I…read moreencourage you to pick something off the menu and you won't be disappointed. Service was awesome, walked in 2 mins before happy hour and the waiter took our beer order in record time. He was also very attentive during our entire meal. I ordered the Andouille Armstrong and it was my fav, great snap on the dog and all the flavors complimented each other great, I also had the Si Si Guey, wasn't my favorite but wasn't horrible, I wasn't a fan of the chorizo, I felt the toppings made this hot dog. As for ambiance, it's a bar, has TV, liquor, beer, etc., but clean. If I was local I'd be a regular!

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 walked in on a rainy Friday night shortly after 10pm and it was freezing cold on the inside. Shreya was working the register and was extremely present and nice to speak with. 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.

When I approached the register, the employee asked who I was picking up for. I showed her the order information on my phone, and she checked it before walking away. The problem was that she never came back or gave me any update. I was left standing there waiting, assuming the order was still being prepared. After waiting longer than necessary, I had to approach another employee to find out what was happening. I was then told that my food had actually been ready for several minutes. That was frustrating because a simple update or acknowledgment would have avoided the entire situation. What bothered me most was that when I finally brought up the issue, instead of acknowledging the inconvenience, I felt like I was being brushed off with a quick "have a good night." I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm not expecting perfect service every time. However, basic communication, attentiveness, and respect go a long way especially when someone is simply trying to pick up an order. I'm leaving this review because the pickup process needs improvement. Management should make sure employees are communicating with customers and following through after asking them for their order information. A little better customer service would make a big difference.
