I finally got to the Smish Smash recently when we were walking by Market St and craving a burger. I had heard great things about their smashburger and as we just wanted a taste we ended up sharing a wow single burger. Love the crispy smashed burger patty which has a nice char on it. They use 100% grass fed and grass finished beef which is amazing and you can really taste the quality in it. The wow burger comes with Swiss cheese, pickles and a mix of mayo and relish. I added ketchup to it for extra flavor and while it's simple, it's really well done. The combo of the meat and soft burger bun is really satisfying. Overall I don't know if I would call it a meal but definitely a nice treat!
Cheesebouga! Excellent! Juicy, so delicious and the pickle killed it. And the banana pudding!!!! Big hit! Enjoy!
We visited Smish Smash inside IKEA, and the ambiance was nice, clean, and welcoming. The location is convenient, especially if you're already shopping there. We ordered the Signature (vegan) burger and the OG, and both were good. The grilled onions were absolutely amazing and added a lot of flavor to the burgers. My only suggestion would be to offer fresh jalapeños instead of pickled ones, as I think they would complement the burgers even better. The burgers were tasty, satisfying, and reasonably priced. We also tried the banana pudding, which was enjoyable and made for a nice sweet ending to the meal. Overall, a solid burger spot with good food, fair prices, and a clean atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!
Was in the area around lunch, so I had to go see what the hype was all about. Smish Smash is located in Saluhall, the newish food hall that is connected to IKEA. It's convenitly located on the first floor right inside the window, so you can miss it. There were a couple other food vendors down there, including a full bar, and they were playing some World Cuo matches, which was a nice touch. Making a burger choice was tough, but I went with the double OG, which did not let me down. The lace was crispy, and the flavor combination of the ingredients was perfect. It was a top smash burger in the bay, and I'd def go again if in the area.
We ordered a Reggie Miller and small curly fries. The burger was tasty and the fries were hot and crispy. Satisfied my burger craving.
I know this place is known for their smash burgers but when I got there I saw they had a daily special of a fried chicken sandwich and had to try that out. And I'm glad that I did. The chicken's crispyness was perfect and juicy. I also ordered shoestring fries which were also crispy. It was all made to order which was great since it wasn't sitting under a heating lamp. This is definitely a great food spot to check out in Saluhall food court.
Visited on a Saturday night around 6pm with a friend, wasn't too busy only 3-4 ahead of us. Plenty of open seating at Saluhall. Food: Vic Mac Jr. - ordered with a single beef patty, this came on a soft pillowy bun that had a subtle sweetness, beef patty was smashed thin and crispy with a wide lacey skirt nice beefy flavor with great mailard browning but ate a touch dry, generous amount of shredded lettuce which added a fresh lightness to the burger, pickles added a nice tang, raw onions added a touch of spice, sauce was creamy and American cheese added the melty gooey richness The OG - took a bite of my friends and prefered this a little over Vic's the fresh tomato added a nice added a juiciness which was a nice touch Curly fries - good, fried nice and crispy, well seasoned, pretty standard flavor Service was good, quick easy order at the counter, they provided a buzzer that rings when food is ready for pickup, water cups provided as well and ketchup and napkins were self serve. Overall a solid spot for a smash burger in the downtown area. Worth a try if you like thin and crispy patties.
Came right when they opened (which was the perfect time imo). Parking was difficult to find initially - but after circling around a few times, I realized there is a garage in the same building. Now to the best park...the food! Easily one of the best smash burgers I've had in the bay. I got the cheeseboiga single. Shoe string fries had the best crisp. And take it from me - please don't skip the banana pudding! Service was prompt, and met with a smile. She was patient while we took a while to decide our order. Also, keep a look out for specials. I noticed the special signs right after i placed my order. Food also came out just as quickly. I hope they add more food spots in this food hall! Ambiance is modern, clean. (And there's a Photo Booth!) we will be back!!!
Really cool business with good variety of smash burgers. They got a good chat on them and the trade mark lacy edges you'd expect from a smash burger. They seem to be the only business left running downstairs at this time so there's lots of seating available. Wish their box came with a drink or something paid like $25 for a box with the special at the time. Prolly can't frequent them at that price. Outside is expectedly gross unless there's an event that caused SF to clean up recently. easy parking validation if you spend $25 in ikeas food hall.
"Smish Smash I was taking a bath, long about a Wednesday night, yeah!!!" Okay I'm no Bobby Darin, but I am quite the aspiring burger aficionado and the smash burgers being handcrafted at Smish Smash are some of the best and most affordable in the entire city of San Francisco! And when Food & Wine Magazine calls this burger one of the most exciting in the U.S., I for one was implored to take notice and visit! Located on the first floor of Saluhall on Market Street in downtown San Francisco next to the IKEA store, Smish Smash started as a pop-up six years ago by owners Am y Han and Victor Donado. Just last year they opened their first stand-alone location on the first floor of Saluhall, which to be quite honest has struggled to keep their other vendors open. Thankfully, Smish Smash has had the benefit of being on the first floor with a view of Market Street, not to mention a great word of mouth thanks to their exceptional smashed burgers that has not only many burger lovers coming in, but quite the number of delivery drivers coming in to pick up burger orders galore. What brought me here to Smish Smash was the fact that a friend and I had theatre tickets at the nearby Golden Gate Theatre and we decided that we needed something quick and delicious before we walked back to the theatre to sit for almost three hours of a show. They suggested that we try this amazing and fun burger concept that was garnering significant buzz and so meeting up at Saluhall was the way to go as they had complimentary WiFi access and plenty of clean and open seating. The menu at Smish Smash is of course filled with burger options with no fewer than seven on their regular menu and a rotating special menu items including items with chili on them including fries, hot dog, and chili in a bowl, not to mention a couple of extra burgers to boot. Each of their burgers on their regular menu has the option of ordering it as a single or double smash burger. Since it was my first time, I ordered a single version of their Cheeseboiga, which had yellow American cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, and mac sauce. My dining mate ordered a single version of their Wow Burger which was topped with white American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and s2 sauce, which is a combination of mayonnaise and relish, with an order of a side of Curly Fries which were cooked in beef tallow, our total bill was 33 dollars before taxes and gratuity were added in. It wouldn't take too long for our order to be custom made by their team and we enjoyed every last bite while sitting at their communal dining inside the Saluhall. The most noticeable thing that I noticed about the smash burgers at Smish Smash was the fact how thin their smashed burgers were, almost paper like thinness, which made for a unique dining experience. But what was lacking in overall heft of the burger was more than made up in terms of overall juiciness and flavor of my overall burger, of which came out clear on the grease and flavor on my fingertips as I ate every last bite. So good was my experience at Smish Smash that a return visit mere a couple of months later was in order when I attended a show at the nearby Orpheum Theatre. With complimentary WiFi and water available to customers, this time I ordered their Smish Smash Special which was their Dac Biet smash burger which was their signature grass-fed smashed beef topped with white American cheese, sliced onions, jalapeños, cilantro, Thai basil, alfalfa sprouts, lime and pho aioli. This particular smash burger, which cost 16 dollars, was a little on the healthier side as the sprouts, onions, and cilantro overpowered everything, but the flavor profile did make it feel as if I was enjoying a bowl filled with pho noodles with all the fixings. I appreciate what Smish Smash is trying to do, as an up and coming entrepreneurial business from pop-up to permanent business in an area that could seriously use the support, I am all in with what Smish Smash is offering up on a daily basis, good affordable trendy smash burgers that makes burger lovers coming back for more and then some! "I was a-moving and a-grooving, yeah I was a-smishing and a-smashing..."
Not a great experience overall :( I've had plenty of smash burgers, but NONE of them had PAPER THIN patties. Like I know it is smashed and supposed to be on the thinner side but you could literally see through the "patty" how much meat are you actually getting?? It was honestly ridiculous. Not to mention the inch thick pile of lettuce. Not to mention we spent $90 on four burgers and two fries. Whaaaat?? I was honestly kind of pissed. Also not to mention this "food hall" is kind of failing. It is not a draw for lunch as we were one group out of two on a Thursday at noon. Our order wasn't even correct! One person asked for no sauce and one person wanted a double patty. Not sure if we paid for double patty or not. Will never go back. Better burgers elsewhere.
Walking distance form my Hilton hotel & it was a good spot to pick up a quick bite to eat. However I did notice they were a bit short staffed and the line was tremendously long, but it didn't bother me. It did bother other patrons, but hey if you're patient enough you'll enjoy the smash burger at the end of the wait.
Smish Smash is a great place to stop by for a casual smash burger. I ordered the Double WOW, which comes with white American cheese, onions, and pickles. It was a really good burger, but I did have a few critiques. I think the burger could have been almost twice as good if it had some veggies in it. The patty was very greasy, which caused the wrapper and buns to get soggy toward the end. It was also pretty hard to eat since the patty and cheese would constantly slide to the bottom when I picked it up. Lettuce and tomato could have elevated it to a more balanced burger because they would have absorbed some of the grease and helped add a little friction to keep everything together. When I asked if I could add veggies, they said they weren't able to do that, which felt a bit strange. They do have another burger on the menu that comes with veggies, but I specifically wanted one with white American cheese, and this was the only option with that setup. The fries were also pretty mid. They gave a large portion when ordering a side, but they were basic curly fries with nothing special. Honestly, they tasted like frozen Arby's fries. Overall, the best thing about this place is the beef skirt they get on the patties. It is on the pricier side, but the extremely crispy edges are great and definitely make the burger stand out. It's not the best burger I've had, but if I'm in the area, I'd still stop by for a quick bite.

The best smash burger I've ever had. I checked out the options for the different types of burgers and it seems like the OG has everything except for grilled onions. So I asked for that instead of fresh onions. The patty was so thin that the edges were almost a millimeter in width. I loved it! Service was quick; only one person in front of me on a Friday afternoon. Food came out within 10 minutes. Really chill environment and plenty of space. read more
If you like smash burgers, then you have to check this place out. The smash burgers are delicious, and the curly fries are pretty good too. The texture of the burger patty was simply amazing. The only downsides are that the burger was a bit salty for me and kind of overpriced. Just a burger and fries came out to ~$35/person. read more

Smish Smash Burger was really good. The meat tasted fresh, seasoned just right, and had those crispy edges that a smash burger's supposed to have. You can tell it's cooked right. The staff were very kind and the interior had a beautiful ambiance and plenty of seating. Definitely my go-to when I'm in the mood for a smash burger. read more

Great burgers. The patty and cheese were really juicy. And the fries were crispy the perfect shoe string! Very casual spot that is in a food court area with other restaurants. We went right when it opened and there was already a line. Would def come here again! read more

I enjoyed a double wow smash burger here this weekend. Smish smash is located in Saluhall SF, next to IKEA. They have ample seating and had a DJ inside the market which was fun. Burger was good, I'd get it again. Friendly customer service even with a high volume of customers. Only odd part is you need a security guard to open the bathroom for you. read more
Heaven on a bun! Smush smash is one of the best smash burgers in San Francisco. There is heavy competition in the San Francisco area, and smash smash definitely is stepping up to that challenge. The burger is perfectly seasoned. The cheese is melty, the produce is fresh, and the buns just pull it all together for that quintessential perfect bite each and every time. I'm normally not a curly Frey, kind of girl, but only I needed to try them. Hello Perfect fries! Crispy, tasty, deliciousness. This is a great place to go in San Francisco for a sumptuous burger and fries meal! read more

Great smash burger. Probably the thinnest sb I have had. Thai style with Thai aioli, cilantro, sprouts burger was incredible. Others had the OG, classic, and just a regular smash. Everyone liked their food. Fries made in beef tallow. Delish! read more

I had tried smish smash at music festivals but never the physical location so I was pumped to be nearby. Even before I thought this was a top 3 smash in SF. Physical location did not disappoint. Line was long but moved quickly and food came out in about 10 minutes. Burger is incredible so are the fries tho I think I'm partial to the curly fries. They have the best ranch and the bar next to their stand has great beer selection. read more
You kind find the spot inside of the ikea foodhall. The burger itself is pretty large and there's a nice sized smashed patty on the burger. It wasn't dry and it had really good flavor. The fries were nice and crispy but not toooo crispy. Overall this was a good burger and fries. read more
When I think of San Francisco, smash burgers or even the phrase "smish smash," would never come to mind as New York City takes the reigns. We came in before their 3PM lunch break and ordered the below: Impossible Burger Cheeseboiga Lue Box (Curly Fries) Dac Biet Lue Box (Shoestring Fries) Their hours are a bit different than an ordinary burger institution, however Smish Smash is worth adjusting your schedule to adhere to its. Their staff are caring because they suggested we get the lue box combos instead of ordering the upcharged full priced sides, which is much appreciated-they were right, the lue box combos were enough! I did notice that their website vs. IRL menu has a variance between their impossible patty upcharge-it's actually $2, not $1. Their curly fries are nostalgic and remind me of Arby's without it being an Arby's dupe. You can't go wrong with the classic shoestring fries-either fry option is fried in tallow which is supposedly healthier than vegetable/peanut oil. If you are able to arrive before/after their 3PM lunch break, I would 100% recommend stopping by IKEA/the Saluhall food hall-to this day I am dreaming of Smish Smash's smash burgers and both of their fry types! read more

I've been passing this place up almost everyday since IKEA opened, so decided to go in and give it a go. Smish Smash is located on the street level of the entrance of Saluhall food court. On the menu I had the Classic burger and my friend had the Cheeseboiga. Fairly priced at about $10-13 depending on your option. Bruh, that smashed patty with the crispies at the edges is almost a sin. Brioche bun with shredded lettuce, yum yum cheese with 1000 island (mayo + ketchup). I wouldn't say the burger was amazing or something to crave for, but it was decently good. Service was ok at best and a little confusing - there's QR codes everywhere so it seems like you order from your phone. Then we got to the counter and there's more QR codes. We finally saw the register and the counter person was just looking at us like a glazed donut in a display case. We were so confused. Then we said can we order? Which prompted the human ChatGPT to run its job. Awkward much. Anyhow, besides the lack of customer service, the burger was good. Could have used a bit of salt, but a great alternative. Not sure what the rave is about, I can make the same burger at home with stuff from Trader Joe's, if not better. Would I come here again? Sure, if I was in the area. read more
Wow! One of the better smash burgers I had thus far. Gaining popularity since the mid-2000s because of social media and chains like Smashburger and local pop ups, there are a lot of competitions for smash burgers. But just because you make a look-a-like doesn't mean it always tastes good. Smish Smash definitely smashed their competition in terms of taste because their burgers are fresh & tasty. Their smash burgers got that lacey edge. I definitely want another one. Fast and courteous service. Located inside the Saluhall on Market St between 5th and 6th Streets. read more
Looking for the ultimate smash burger?! Look no further... this is as smashed of a burger you can get with the crispiness, deliciousness and crunchiness from the grill press!! We ordered the WOW single and OG double patty. This burger melts in your mouth ... the softness of the bun, with the tenderness of the patty... YUM. Beware you're definitely going to get your hands greasy and smelling like burger after... haha this patty was so big it was busting out the bun as you can see. Curly fries, reminds me of Arby's!!! Less seasoned but still so crispy and good. Free validated parking in the lot if you spend $15. We all know how impossible it is to get here yet alone find any type of parking here so this was a great perk. read more
What?! Another burger to check out .... Always on the quest for that perfect bite - hard to compete with The Butcher Shop, Marlowe, Spruce - the list gets extensive, but this is a good contender, especially considering it is on Market downtown. Ikea actually comes up with a gem every now and then, and they certainly did this time. My only complaint is the menu is both too extensive and too similar to make a solid choice - but whichever you chose, you'll go home happy. read more
That was a darn good burger if I must say so myself. I love a smash burger, and this place makes it so well! This is located in IKEA's artisanal food court - SALUHALL, on the first floor. Don't miss out! Perfectly crispy patty skirt and they gave lots of sauce, cheese, and lettuce. the potato bun was also soooo yummy. Fluffy bread! I definitely recommend trying their curly fries, which are made with beef tallow! Crispy and flavorful - not too salty. read more
Smish Smash at Saluhall in SF is an absolute must-try for burger lovers! The Cheeseboiga burger was out of this world, with perfectly juicy and well seasoned patties, melty cheese, and the addicting vic mac sauce that had me savoring every bite. The chili cheese curly fries were just as just as good as they were so satisfying, super crispy, and a massive portion that could easily feed two (though I did check the menu recently and no longer see the chili cheese option so perhaps they removed it sadly). Everything is self serve as this place is located within the Saluhall Food Court inside of the down town IKEA. They did manage to cultivate a pretty fun atmosphere though as there are a few places that you can grab drinks from to pair with your meal and even catch games on the big screen when something is on! read more
The burger itself was really good. It is heavily sauced so i would recommend getting a double to balance out the flavors. The tallow fries are worth getting as they taste amazing and also bulk up your meal. The burgers do feel small especially if you do order a single patty but it's so heavy and filling. This can be good if you want a meal you wont take to-go. Not a place for people with big appetites. The smaller portions for price point is a running theme for most places in the ikea saluhall but its not a bad place to go especially if you have a group of people with different tastes. read more
Truly, I will never not rave about Smish Smash. It is the best burger place in downtown San Francisco - could be all of San Francisco. They have the most flexible hours in comparison to the other burger places like Lovely's in Woods or Maillards. The staff is great. The service is fast. There's open seating in the food hall. Can't complain. 10/10 would recommend. Also shoe string fries all day over curly. read more
One of the top smashburgers i've had in sf! Staff was friendly and explained the different sauces they have. Price is a little steeper compared to other spots. The patty has the crispy edges just right and the bun used is a good ratio. Pickles are fresh and pickled just the right amount - WOW burger: appreciate that they have a burger with white cheese! It was nice and pickle-y - cheeseboiga: nice tangy sauce, double patty hit the spot - shoestring fries: delicious and perfectly salted - was like a cross between mcdonalds and in n out fries read more
One of my favorite smash burgers! amazing flavor profile and the shop is inside a food mall next to ikea! a little confusing to get to but was decorated very nicely inside. there are tables inside to eat and you order at the kiosk and they call your name when your order is ready. i wouldn't get their ranch again since it was not my favorite kind of ranch and also particularly pricy for a side sauce. i would def recommend the OG since the lettuce and tomato that come with the burger gives a great balance. this is a very pricy burger, though, so it will be more of a treat spot than one that i frequent on a regular basis. the line also gets pretty long so make sure you get there early! read more

I only had the curly fries, but they were crisp and tasty, perfect with a beer. Service was friendly and efficient. The space is clean and modern. read more
