We’ve been Jeremy’s biggest fans since day one, and Smash City Burgers has been our go-to ever since! He catered one of our events and people are still talking about it. The crispy edges, the perfectly melted cheese, and that sauce. It’s an easy 10/10 every time. Smash City isn’t just a burger, it’s an experience.

Fantastic burgers, fantastic service, fantastic ambience! I went here with a friend for dinner on a Friday evening and what a cool place! It’s the best burger I’ve had in Charleston, for sure. On top of that, the service was top notch- hopefully you get the opportunity to meet Toni, she made our experience that much better. Awesome establishment, I’ll definitely be back.

These folks know how to make a damn fine burger. Their loaded fries? Incredible. All at an incredibly reasonable price. Filling, satisfying, and worth every penny. I can't recommend this more to anyone who loves a good burger and fries. They're open late (12am) for when you're struck with the need, like Patrick Star. 10/10, 5/5, 100/100. Full marks across the board. Thank you, Smash City Burgers.

Really enjoyed the ambiance here, definitely was my jam. Went with the beer. Bacon. Burger which was a double smashburger in beer cheese sauce. It was fantastic! The fries were good, nice and crispy and everything came out super fast, will definitely be back!

Came in after work to kill some time and wait for traffic to die down and was immediately greeted. Guy at the counter was so super nice and personable! Food came out relative quick and my burger and loaded fries were AMAZING!!! Will definitely be returning

Small and very enjoyable. Not what I was expecting but in a good way. Loved the atmosphere. The service was fast, friendly and the burgers were so good.

Great little smash burgers with the best Martin’s potato rolls! Nice and slim, well seasoned and with Brew City-style batter-dipped fries. The ambience, music, and design is all perfect for a burger joint in this less-traveled part of town. The beer cheese flavor is on point and I recommend going with at least one other person and sharing the classic double, beer bacon burger, and a small fry. You will want to dip those fries in all the leftover beer cheese and the pretzel roll is surprisingly light, no lie! The walls are covered in album covers so there’s also a LOT to look at!
