A ghost kitchen with several other businesses. There was always a person at the front counter answering questions. The gentleman told me to head over to the screen to order from any of the restaurants located there. The people working the front, they get a notification and go pick up the food from the various other restaurants inside. Once I ordered, it took about 10 minutes to receive my food. It tasted freshly made. The smash burger was crisp and hot. The burger bread was buttery and moist, not dry. The thin fries were slightly seasoned. The soda was a fountain drink with light ice (very good, unlike other places where they fill up the cup with ice). Also, once the food was ready, I also received a text message that it was ready. The location has a few tables inside and some tables outside. Some of the tables outside have umbrellas. Overall, I will be coming back when in the area. read more

Safe bet. aka Delicious Burger. I decided to try this place on my birthday. You can get caught up in the minutiae of this place being a food hub which is a "new wave eating experience" but I think Yelp reviewers want to know flavor, and the "double quickie" I had, had just that. Good smashed burger with crispy beef patties that taste freshly cooked off a black top griddle. The cheese melds well, and the carmelized onions are long and stringy and give the needed texture to the burger. Pickle for acidity. Magnifique. What more do you need? Also: The fries were delicious and freshly cooked and salted too and echoed in n out fries(ish) flavor and texture, but had twice the quantity. I'm not a burger guy per se, but I do enjoy good food, and this is a great quality burger ESPECIALLY compared to what is out there ESPECIALLY online for delivery. Price is about "market", which is fair, and I say pull the trigger if you are cool with that. Staff was courteous and helpful, place was clean yet small, but it's kinda chill to sit out front and enjoy the food. Thanks Wanna Smash! read more

Waited 20 minutes, $20 for a burger meal. The burger was pretty good, nothing special. Fries were not fresh at all. Wouldn't go back. Not worth it. Another disappointing fast food in SCV. read more

DELICIOUS burgers! The meat, cheese and buns they use are honestly perfect. They use fresh ingredients so any combination of burger you order will be a hit. My only complaints are that their fries and sauces are mediocre; nothing special at all & they don't offer the choice of ranch but the burgers alone make it worth it to come back. read more

Delicious food! I had the "Quickie" (I love the names of their food. ) and an order of fries. Everything was so fresh and hot that I had to allow it to cool a little. The service was great! The lady behind the counter was very helpful and patient. This my first place in a food hub and was impressed at how nice the inside looks. They have nice tables and it simply felt cozy. read more

Wanna Smash - I love the name of the items. I had the Quickie. - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

Yummy Smashburger in SCV! I loved how the meat patties were perfectly crispy and still juicy! The bun was soft and warm. I would definitely order this "Quickie" burger again. read more

Wanna Smash - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

I got a Quickie burger and it was pretty good. I didn't wait too long and the staff member was super friendly. The fries were great, but the only thing I wish is that the burger had more seasoning. Inside, it is a food hall but there wasn't a lot of seating so keep that in mind if you have a big party of people. Overall I definitely recommend. read more

The first time I actually tried something as an elite. This was the entry! But their service was absolutely amazing and again it's just clean! read more

We just got home from that place and we are still talking about how juicy their smashed burgers are! We will come back again and again, their smash burgers are the best we have tried so far! OMG! The burger and the buns melt in your mouth! I highly recommend this place. Their patties are so savory in every bite. I will bring my grandparents here next time. For sure they will love how tasty their burgers are. Money well spent and worth the 15-minute wait! I love this Virtual Hall. On our way out, we were offered a free cheesecake because of the wait. The staff here is very accomodating and polite. We will come back soon! read more

Wanna Smash - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

*October 2025-Initially, I had a difficult time finding this place. Apple Maps showed the location, but there were no large signs outside. I eventually realized that Wanna Smash operates out of a virtual kitchen shared with several other "restaurants" offering a wide variety of food. Against my better judgment, I ordered two single-patty burger meals with fries and drinks for $40, which felt steep. After about 25 minutes, our food was brought out. We ate at a picnic table in the middle of an otherwise empty space, watching several people come in looking confused, asking how to order and how the whole setup worked. One couple took a pizza to go, but the other people left without ordering. The three employees I saw running things were genuinely friendly, and I'd give them 5 stars if I could rate them separately. Unfortunately, the food itself was uninspired. The burgers were served on generic store-brand buns with equally generic shoestring fries. There is nothing wrong with store-brand food, as that is exactly what I buy for home when I am trying to stretch my budget. When I go out to eat, though, I expect something more, especially when the total comes closer to $50 for two people. The meat was indeed smashed and not terrible, but overall it was something I easily could have made at home for far less money, and faster. I could be wrong but it appears that this "virtual kitchen," which also serves teriyaki, sushi, Italian and Indian food, is just trying to be too many things at once and it shows. ***Edited to add: After the owner's reply, I want to say that I do understand there are real people behind the scenes trying to make a living. With the cost of everything going up, I admit I can get grumpy when something feels expensive, and that definitely colored my reaction. I appreciate you taking the time to respond so quickly. Sometimes hearing the rest of the story really does give perspective. I should also add that my adult daughter absolutely loved her meal, the food was served hot, and the people working there were warm and patient. The virtual kitchen concept is new to me, and that unfamiliarity likely added to the confusion. Seeing that there is someone behind this who clearly cares makes me open to giving it another try in the future read more

Wanna Smash - Smashburger with onions and fries. This took nearly 30 min to prepare. - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

You have to order from a kiosk, which is fine, but the process is a bit confusing. I wanted a single cheeseburger with fries and a drink. It only gave me the option of a shake. I could only choose a drink when I selected a double or triple burger. Maybe it's me; I don't know, but since there is no human to assist, who knows. Anyway, I don't have time for BS. It's also unbelievably expensive. You would think that not paying a cashier would bring the cost down, but no. One burger combo at this place costs as much as two at N*Out. It's a joke. read more

Absolutely delicious smash burgers! The portions are incredibly generous, especially for the price, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff at the front were so kind, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

Wanna Smash - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

Really tasty burger, but the online interface is laughable. First of all, maybe some spell checking is in order? I mean, come on...milfshake? Then there's the fact that I ordered the burger combo, only to be told at the pickup that its a burger only. So...sixteen bucks for a smallish burger? read more

The burger was delicious but fries were underwhelming. They had no seasoning and weren't cooked well.

Best burger place in Santa Clarita, the milkshakes are unbeatable. Burgers are delicious, fries could be improved.

The burger is delicious and juicy. Location is centrally located and good customer service. They messed up my order once and right away they refunded me and gave me a complimentary meal to make up for the mistake. Respect. read more

Good food, great service. It's a few dollars more than a fast food combo but it's far better. I ate inside and it was very good lighting, I can't stand when it's too bright inside. read more

This place is fire!!! Owner is nice as hell - the burger was amazing. So glad Santa Clarita finally has a smash burger restraunt to go too. Been waiting too damn long for something like this. 10/10 would recommend. And for the people complaining about the wait - go to Mc Donald's then and get a cheap ass cheeseburger lol. The burger was amazing - will def be coming back here. It's a shame not more people know about this place!! read more

So delicious from burgers to fries! So worth the drive! The service overall was great and very communicative with the process due to low inventory but understandable. We showed up before they closed! Would go again and recommend! read more

if you don't know what to order & love something spicy, you HAVE to try the hot & heavy sloppy fries! ITS MY FAVORITE! i asked for extra sauce and the people in the kitchen hooked me up. i had never been to the SCV hub so i wasn't sure if you could dine in or if it was just to go. I had placed my order for dine in not knowing what to expect and one of the wanna smash workers bought my food and drink out on cute little red trays! service and food 10/10 read more

This place was hyped up on Instagram and just fell completely short. The food is overpriced $17 for a single smash burger, fries and small fountain drink. The service sucked and I have no idea at which stage of the process they failed at. My burger had no sauce so I went back in and asked for a side of it. The desk clerk went back and returned with no sauce and said the chef would bring it out. I waited at least 7 minutes when finally another clerk came and asked if I was waiting for food. I said no, just sauce I had already asked for. She went back and returned with a sauce and hoped I was eating there since there were no lids. By the time I returned to my table, my partner had finished eating and my food was warm, at best. There are plenty of other places in the Santa Clarita valley to get a better burger at a better price with proper service. We won't be returning. read more

Brought my family here for a quick dinner and man it was amazing! I've been looking for a really good burger place out here and this is the best smash burger I've ever had. The ingredients were super fresh and the service was great. I had two different smash burgers and they were both on point. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Taste good. Really small burger for the price. Probably won't be back. Milkshake was watery. No flavor

Bad service even from a kiosk. Had to wait 10+ minutes for a sauce to come from their kitchen after we had our food. The burger was good, but small. It was a horrible value. There are too many good burgers around to recommend this one. For the price, I shouldn't have been walking away still kinda hungry. No bueno. read more

Great, fresh burgers, fries, and onion rings. Really my only complaint is that you get a tiny drink with a combo that costs $18. UPDATED to 5 stars based on owner's reply indicating free drink refills! read more

Best burger in town! Will never get tired of it and will always order! Food and presentation is amazing! They used bigger bag for 1 cheeseburger and fries. read more

The food was amazing they are super nice. I would def stick to s single patty they are so filling the fries are really good they do taste stale or nothing. I kid you not I bit the burger and got chills I was just so excited and have been waiting to try them and when they finally opened I was soooooo happy. I have brought my sister and told my other friends and family they should def go. Not hyping it up but y'all should def try it they stand on business and Quality. 10/10 the ambiance relaxed not to busy depending the time read more

Well I'll start by saying Jesse, the owner is amazing. I was having trouble with my payment and it overcharging me on the app, and he put down what he was doing to come and assist me as he saw I was overwhelmed and frustrated. He kept his composure even though I was being a little difficult. He went on to put my order in on the house because of my struggles. He then even went on to take my number to check in the following day, to see if I had resolved my situation. Jesse was kind, concerned, determined, and most of all just had the basic compassion for me when he didn't have to! I give him alone a 12/10 The food was for my husband and he thought it tasted great! Burgers were well seasoned, and the fries and secret sauce were super yummy! I would rate food and service 20/10. I'd definitely recommend! read more

Lets start off by saying the service is ALWAYS A1 as well as the TASTE/ QUALITY. The name itself coincides with the menu options so well .. Wanna smash burgers offers the cowgirl, the quickie, the hot heavy, the happy ending, etc. it's an amazing concept with even more amazing tasting burgers, I am in love and this is always my first option when it comes to burgers. Me personally has never liked BBQ sauce but something about the Cowgirl burger which has cheese, onion rings, bacon, and bbq sauce gets me everytime! I order that burger everytime I go and the bbq sauce is delicious and I always make sure to double it. It leaves me wanting more every time. I would eat this everyday if I could! Just a side note they offer Pepsi products, PEPSI IS #1! The owner Jesse takes pride in his business and always makes my man and I feel welcomed and taken care of. 5 stars.. 10/10. I will be back no doubt. read more
