Surf City Smash

Surf City Smash is a must-try! I’ve been here a few times and I think I’ve tried almost everything on the menu—burger, Philly cheesesteak, chicken sandwich—and it’s all been delicious. The menu’s small, but that’s what makes it great; they focus on doing a few things really well. The smash burger is my favorite, and that’s saying a lot as a non-burger person! It’s got that perfect crispy edge, super flavorful, and just the right size to fill you up. If you’re extra hungry, you can add extra patties. And those pita chips that come with it? So good—crispy, fresh, and kind of addicting. Fries and tots are so crispy and perfect as well to add on to your meal. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are some of the nicest folks you’ll meet. You can tell they really care about what they’

A++++ Surf City Smash absolutely lives up to the hype—and then some. I’ve been hearing about this place for the past year and knew I had to try it the next time we came down to Surf City, where we have a vacation home on the island. After reading all the glowing reviews and drooling over the photos, my expectations were high… and they were completely met. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a lovely young lady with a big, welcoming smile—such a great first impression. We ordered the double smash burger with fries and the Surf Philly with tater tots, and wow. Omgeee. The food here is fresh, cooked perfectly, and ridiculously yummy. The smash burger was juicy with that perfect crispy edge, the fries were hot and seasoned just right, and the Surf Philly was packed with flavor.

I read online that there was a gluten free bun. Unfortunately, I have a sensitivity. It was one of the reasons I went there. But, when I asked about it I was told “I think we have one around here. We don’t always have them”. I didn’t want them to wrastle a gf bun from who knows where. So, I went with the Sara. All toppings, but bunless. Paid $11.00. It comes with flour tortilla chips (pictured are my husband’s who has no sensitivity) as a side. I can’t eat those. So, I paid $3.99 extra for some sad salty tots. Not even a small discount to upgrade the side. I love a smash burger. But, this was underwhelming. Service was also underwhelming. Hopefully others have a better experience. Cute place though.

Visited recently, got the Surf Philly (Cheesesteak 🥩) and the "Sara" which is a burger without a bun 🍔. Price was ~ $35, with a drink and two entrees. You order at the counter and then grab a seat inside or outside. Tight seating 💺, but GREAT food 🍽️, and atmosphere and the staff could not have been friendlier 😊. Great experience, highly recommend 👍, we will be returning! 🍔 🥪 🥩 🥤

Had a door dash pickup a month or so ago here. I've wanted to come back and get a burger for myself. Today, I took the opportunity. No regrets. Customer service was on point, burger was next level, the pita chips are addicting, and I still feel the softness of the donut lingering on my taste buds. Will be coming back next opportunity. Don't skip this place.
