Enjoyable food but doesn't stand out from the pack of other burger chains. I did enjoy the familiar interior and atmosphere though. It was a mix of casual fast food and sit-down restaurant; you order and pay at the front then sit down as someone brings your food out. And it was pretty nice and clean on the inside unlike most classic fast food chains.
The burgers remind me of Five Guys but are a little bit different in a way I can't quite explain. Certainly better burgers overall than McDonald's or Burger King. The fries reminded me a bit of Wendy's: small-cut, not too crispy and not too soggy. Service was good (and certainly fast) but a bit unprofessional at times. Someone I was with got a grilled chicken sandwich and couldn't finish it because they thought it was so bad. I thought it was fine but definitely not anything special.
I wouldn't mind coming back here to eat but not sure I'd go out of my way or seek it out, especially when Five Guys is around the corner.
Amazing sauces! Don't get me wrong, the burgers they serve are awesome. But their sauces are what makes them stand out. I am a connoisseur of barbecue sauce. And this sauces is perfect. Has a little extra smokey flavor that really makes it my favorite BBQ sauce. Obviously the "Smash Sauce" is also very good. I like how they rotate a "special" burger every couple of months. It mixes it up.
Very good classic bacon double burger with sweet potato fries.
Great food, great customer service. Fantastic amount of calories! My son insisted we go to Smash"burger", a 20 minute drive, then tried to order a grilled cheese sandwich. Praise the lord, it wasn't on the mobile menu! He enjoyed his Smashburger!
Came in after the lunch rush, the floor was relatively clean but noticed a couple dirty table tops. Was greeted immediately as I walked in the door, nice touch. I took a couple minutes to figure out my order, never felt rushed. My order was filled in a timely fashion and was served hot. I placed a basic order and was a little underwhelmed by the amount of fries and the burger size. The shake was excellent. For $10 I guess you can't expect a lot but I've tried the competition across the street and I feel that you get a bigger bang for your buck.

I admit I got there just in time, before they close the kitchen and the service was good, but I was disappointed with the milk shake I got my son. Usually when we get milkshakes they give us the extra amount left in the cup. I just think that the milkshake is small and it's nice when they give you the extra that would go to waste anyway. I believe they should be consistent with the extra portion in all locations all the time. This way you don't feel like you're missing out on something when they don't give it to you.
Worth the effort to figure out how to get here! Always an awesome burger, fries. 5 star shakes. Good friendly service. Give the Smash Burger Real Estate crew a D- for picking this location Hard to get to....must loose a lot of biz......
I really like smash burger, I live around the corner so I go their at least once a month. The food is great. Shakes are awesome. Service is Decent. THE SMASH FRIES ARE AWESOME. but food's a tiny bit pricy.
This location serves a decent enough burger however we have not found a location that cooks up as good a burger as the Woodland Park location in New Jersey.
Many of the other locations seem to put too much salt on the burger and this just kills the real taste of the meat.
That said I would say that Smashburger is still one of the better burgers around but this goes to show you how taste can vary from one location to another in a restaurant chain.
Smashburger is pretty good. At least the one here in Neptune is. The store is always clean, the counter people are friendly, and the product is pretty tasty. The parking is easy. The location in general is not the best spot in the world. It's hard to see when you're driving on the highway until after you pass it. I think they would get more business if they relocated to a better spot. However as mentioned above, the quality and the product is very good
The best smash burger around! Super close to Asbury Park beach. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Our cashier/server Nick was so on top of it, and also very nice. Definitely worth going if you’re in the area.
Shout out to this place. First time I went wasn’t thrilled but this time was much better probably because I didn’t go right around closing time. Food was fast and efficient. Shout out to Nick, Tori, and the manager guy on duty didn’t catch his name. Obviously the cooks made the food fresh and quick. Will definitely be back!
