Smash Bros Burgers

I recently ate lunch at this Smash Bros. I had originally noticed them when I was in line across the street (at In N Out) a few weeks ago, but, on that night, there was some kind of car show going on in the parking lot, so I decided to come back when it was less busy.I ended up coming back during lunch time on a weekday. I was torn between ordering a burger, or loaded fries. Luckily, they had the perfect solution on the menu: Bombastic fries. The Bombastic fries were seasoned fries topped with a smashed burger patty, cheese, grilled onions, special sauce, and chopped jalapenos.The flavor of the smashed burger patty was mostly overwhelmed by all of the amazing toppings, but I could still tell that it was really good. I don't eat a ton of smash burgers, so don't have much to compare it to, except to say that I liked it a lot.Portion size was kind of small, but decent enough for the price.Aside from the Bombastic fries, I also ordered a pineapple milkshake. The pineapple milkshake was phenomenal. I'd been wanting a pineapple milkshake for a while, and this one was everything I wanted and more. It tasted like it was made with real pineapple and real vanilla ice cream.The restaurant was clean, and the customer service was good. It didn't take very long to order or to receive my food.This was one of the best American fast food lunches I've had in ages. I would definitely eat here again.

The service is good, this burger place is located right next to in n out so if sometimes in n out line is too long I would go here.I ordered the. Bros mushroom burger with an extra Patty, the style of the burger is they would do those thin smashed patties but that's not really an issue since the burger is still filling at a decent price. However for the taste itself I would rank it a 7.5/10 to be honest, the meat has a weird oily flavor and the mushrooms doesn't seem as flavorful as they look. The fries are too oily with little to no taste as well but better with ketchup.

Hey Smash Bro,Welcome to the neighborhood.Came by, because well any new restaurant in Merced is big news. Your space is pretty big which is good, though I came at an off-hour so I have no idea how busy it gets.Tried to BBQ Bro. It was pretty good. Not mind-blowing but good for what it is. I think it could use more meat tho. It was "smashed" pretty thin. Love the crunch but one patty is way too small. So all in all, taste was good, but the meat felt too skimpy.The fries were amazing though. Nice, crisp, steaming hot.I hope you make it though, we can always use more options here in Merced. Hoping that you do well and eventually can move to a more visible spot since you are a bit hard to find. perhaps you can make a living as an in-n-out alternate where people try you out because the lines are too long. :)

Umm, hello, all you people waiting in the outrageously long In and Out line are nuts! Head across the street to Smash Bros instead! My mushroom burger was amazing! The bun was so tasty, I wish I knew where to get buns like that. Onion rings were perfect. My daughter had an Oreo shake and it was delicious! Real ice cream with chunks of Oreo blended just the right amount. Give this place a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I would describe this burger as the "smashyest" smash burger I've had. Good flavor, great sauce, and filling! I got the burger with jalapeños on it and it was muy fuego. The fries were really good and the milkshake was decent to me. The place was clean and the workers were nice! I would highly recommend giving this place a try!

Stopped to try their halal smashed classic, mushroom burger, and shake. Definitely worth the stop! Very affordable and very delicious! The fries are superb! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and perfectly salted! The presentation was refreshing, and they even have a working soft serve machine! Overall, this is a great joint! Love the vibe! Keep it up!

Glad to see another excellent burger option in Merced! I tried the chopped cheese burger which was very tasty. Also tried their regular fries which were perfectly crisp - the best I've had in Merced. I personally think it's better than In N Out and on par with Pretty Good. I will be a regular!

Tried the bbq smash burger with fries and and Philly cheese steak, food was great KK the man behind the counter provided excellent service, the business looked clean and run nicely I enjoyed the overall feel of the place. Would normally take more pictures but we got straight to eating and this is all I had left

The burger is so lacy and delicious! The bros flat with the touch of jalapeños is great. The onion rings are crispy even after taking them home. One of the better burgers in Merced.

Pulled of the 99 to get In N Out, saw the line was going out of the parking lot and this place was right across the street-- best choice I could have made and I knew it the moment I walked in. Good vibes, my BBQ burger was fire, and staff was friendly. Reasonably priced compared to other smash burger places I've stopped off at. Skip in n out and support something local!
