About Smashburger

A city-centre burger stop that works when you need feeding done without fuss — buggies get in, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu, so it handles the under-fives without drama. Ordering is by touchscreen, and the staff are the strong point: friendly, quick to explain how it works, checking in mid-meal. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's melting down. The smashed beef and chicken burgers draw the most praise, along with crisp onion rings and thick, generous milkshakes — one parent calls the burger-and-shake pairing "the perfect combo". Worth knowing: it's pricier than it looks, around £20 a head once sides and drinks land, and quality wobbles — some find the patties dry and under-seasoned. The room is smart with a decent view, though the atmosphere can feel a bit flat and canteen-like.
