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’re serving and who they’re serving it to. I can’t recommend this place enough!

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. The tater tots? Golden, crispy perfection.
You can tell real care goes into the food here—from quality ingredients to thoughtful preparation. Surf City Smash is the kind of place that turns a casual meal into a must-visit spot every time you’re on the island. We’ll 100% be back, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone we know. If you’re in Surf City and haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out.

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.

Excellent food, excellent staff. Got to chat with the owner, who was super nice. I highly recommend this place. And it was super clean too! (((do not miss out on the onion jam on your burger or in the Philly cheesesteak. True awesomeness!)))

Not a smash unfortunately from my perspective if you were craving a thick juicy hamburger with all the fixings, this is not the place for you. I have not had a Smashburger before and was curious what all the hype was about and frankly still remain mystified. The patty is so thin you can literally see through it and is extremely dry. You cannot get tomatoes, lettuce, or other fixings on it. It comes as is with cheese and some caramelized onions and a sauce. Strange pieces of fried pita are included on the plate. They’re just plain. I’m not sure the purpose? The fries were tasty and hot/fresh overall it’s very pricey for a minimal amount of burger and would not be someplace I would tell my guest to go if they were craving a hamburger. They do have a good location next to shopping and bars ample parking with a parking lot that is well lit and roomy and has wheelchair access spot as well. The employee on the cash register was neither rude nor welcoming, the employee that brought our food to the table had a very pleasant attitude.

I walked into Surf City Smash expecting a solid burger and walked out questioning every other burger I’ve ever trusted.
Crispy, edges, juicy center, and caramelized onions so perfectly sweet they deserved their own Yelp account. This wasn’t just a burger it was a personality.
Now let’s talk tots. These weren’t just crispy. These were Napoleon Dynamit’s-level I felt fully transported, like I should’ve been wearing moon boots and aggressively nodding in approval after every bite.
Just when I thought I understood the menu, along came the flour tortilla chips, which were brand new to me and immediately unlocked a core memory. Fair-food vibes in the best way; warm, nostalgic, a little salty, a little sweet, like something you’d eat while wandering past questionable rides and thinking about funnel cake (I need a funnel cake now).
Service? Impeccable. The owner (I’m guessing, but the energy was very “I care deeply about your happiness”) gently placed napkins on our table like a benevolent food fairy. Then helped my husband procure ice for my drink, not just any ice, but the best ice I’ve ever encountered. Crunchy. Clean. Hydrating excellence. Five stars just for the ice alone.
Food came out fast, the place was spotless, and just when I thought I’d peaked… donuts.
In conclusion: elite smash burger, god-tier tots, world-class ice, kind humans, great donuts, and a clean space to emotionally process how good everything was. I will be back.

UPDATE: I had to go back and edit it. The more food I ate this week rhe more I realized that this was EXTREMELY OVERRATED.
Here’s my review: I’ll be honest was it good yes. Was it the best smash burger I’ve ever had far far from it. When they say smash burgers. They mean SMASHED. Patties are super thin honestly thinner than a McDonald’s Patty. Burger I had was missing the crispness too. Thought was pretty salty too. Fries and tots were good but the tortilla chips they have are much much better than both and probably the best part of the meal in my eyes. Atmosphere was nice. Cute restaurant and decorated very well
Overall good yes. Best ever no. I’ll take a 5 guys instead any day as they are basically the same cost.

Surf City Smash is easily one of our family’s favorite spots — not just because of how insanely good their burgers are, but because of the people behind it. Every meal is fresh, juicy, and full of flavor — truly one of a kind! But what makes this place stand out even more is the customer service. Everyone there is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their customers.
They’re absolutely amazing with kids, too. Our three-year-old begs to go there, and it’s always the highlight of his week. He especially loves George, the owner, who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. He takes time to talk to each customer that walks in, and it really shows how much he cares about his community and the people who come through his doors. It’s rare to find a place with that kind of heart.
Even our 7-month-old daughter gave her approval — she loved every bite of her first burger (and made sure not a crumb went to waste!).
Surf City Smash isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Great food, great people, and a true family-friendly atmosphere. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots around! ❤️
