★★★★★ 5.0 Shylo Rich · Jan 2026

Second time to Pittsburgh and we are so glad we tried this burger joint. One of the BEST smash burgers we have had. The grilled onions were cooked and seasoned well. The smash sauce is tasty, but that burger is the star! Perfectly cooked, crispy edges and juice patty. Delicious.

★★★★★ 5.0 T. Cordeiro · Dec 2025

Smashburger absolutely delivers every time. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a clean, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who genuinely seem to care about your experience. The burgers are the real star—perfectly smashed, crispy on the edges, juicy in the center, and packed with flavor. The quality of the beef is obvious, and everything tastes fresh and made to order. The toppings are well-balanced, the buns are soft yet sturdy, and every bite hits exactly how a great burger should. The fries deserve their own mention—hot, seasoned just right, and impossible to put down. Whether you go classic or try one of their specialty options, Smashburger consistently nails it. Great food, great service, and a reliable spot when you want a burger done right. I’ll definitely be ba

The food is immaculate!! We ate here twice while we were visiting for work! The owner is super friendly and allowed me to taste his future milkshakes! Highly recommended place to eat will definitely will be back upon visiting Pittsburgh again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Hilary Mantel · Jan 2026

Best smash burger in the burgh. High quality beef, and a lot of love goes into what they are doing. Prices are more than fair for the quality and quantity you are getting. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, overall an amazing neighborhood spot. It’s very apparent the owners and people working there care, that’s hard to find these days.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kaylin M. · Oct 2025

The owner and his fiance are incredibly kind and personable. The hotdog was so good; the bun was crispy which i didn't even know I needed but honestly what a game changer 👌 The loaded waffle fries were delicious too! I'll be honest, I was nervous when i saw cheese (asked for no cheese... just not a fan of cheese fries or nacho cheese) but it was surprisingly good! Not your typical nacho cheese, I'd definitely intentionally order it next time! Thanks y'all! 🙌
