Smashed - Burgers & Cocktails

I really wanted to like this place. The atmosphere was very nice and I like the location. We went there on a Wednesday early evening and there were only a couple of customers in there. We ordered onion rings as an Appetizerand was told they were out of them. I thought that was a bit strange since it was the very first thing on the menu. I then ordered loaded tater tots. We ordered burgers as well. The burgers came out before the tater totss which were supposed to be an appetizer on top of it The burgers were cold. The tater tots were just okay. There was nothing special about the burgers. When it came time to pay the check. The girl came along with some little tablet showing us the total. Then then she stood there hovering over the table as I put my credit watching patiently. As I was to add the tip.. Is it made for an awkward situation. I don't.Think I'll be rushing back there anytime soon.

Food was excellent! Service was excellent! Five adults visited on a busy Friday evening but wait was minimum. All had burgers & all loved them! Tots & fries - delicious! Wait staff very attentive. A star was lost because of live music in a small place that would lend to being loud anyway when all tables were full of patrons due to small size & the design of the exposed metal beam ceiling. The decent musicians, 2 guitarists w/ one singing all music I typically go for were just incredibly loud. Folks go to a restaurant to socialize over a good meal & drinks, not a concert. It was impossible for us to hear one another unless we almost shouted. No pleasant socializing could be had. That was super disappointing because that's the main reason we were dining with each other. There is nice outdoor seating but it rained. So, restaurant owners, PLEASE skip the live music during the dinner hours! Save it for the bar crowd if at all. Again, we definitely want to return to Smashed for the food but will make sure there are no musicians scheduled.

Saw mixed reviews but wanted to try this place for a while now. Came in on a Friday night and were seated fairly quickly. So far so good! And that was the good. We ordered 2 appetizers, pretzel bites and loaded tots. They came out separate after a really long wait. The pretzels were still cold on the inside so definitely had been frozen. The tots were better but both meh. Everyone ordered burgers and either fries, onion rings, or salad for the side. Burgers were all fine, just pretty messy. Fries definitely needed more time to cook but service was spotty so we didn't want to wait around anymore. Onion rings good and salad good. Overall, staff was nice but spotty. The place is extremely loud and food took forever. Along with the high prices, assuming probably not worth going back. Maybe will try again sometime. Fast food might be better!

Super location for Smashed! Right in the heart of downtown Holly Springs. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to grab a high top by the window so we could see all the happenings outside. We came early on a Friday night and were able to get sat right away. Our server was great! Smashed offers a wide variety of cocktails and drinks. They also offer drink specials throughout the week.We ordered the Vietnamese Banh Mi smashed that was topped with pickled daikon and carrots, jalapeños and sriracha sauce. We also got the Cali smashed that is topped with a fried egg, avocado, American cheese and arugula. Both burgers were delicious but they almost seemed like junior burgers- not a lot of meat or toppings. Would love to come back and try more of the menu options.

We heard of this place from a recent Yelp event. We brought our dog and sat outside on the patio. The staff was so kind and even turned on the space heater for us.The food was delicious! The burger was perfectly cooked and juicy. My favorite was the fries. It was battered to perfection and flavored just right. The onion rings were just as crispy and well cooked. I loved that you could get free refills with the lemonade and I tried both the blackberry and mango. I think blackberry hit the spot. Definitely a must try spot

Smashed is located in a newer walkable area of downtown Holly Springs with lots of restaurants and cute shops. The settling is modern industrial with lots of seating inside & out. It can get pretty loud inside when it's busy. Service was attentive and staff was obviously well trained and empower to work with customers. The teamwork was very apparent from our interactions with various members of the team. The star attractions are the cocktails and the burgers. Cocktails are inventive with balanced flavors and well made. The burgers are juicy, well flavored and generously portioned. We were all very pleased with our selections. This will be one of our regular burger spots!

Such delicious food! Everything was so good and cooked perfectly. We started with their onion rings which were big and crispy without being overdone. The burgers are amazing and they have the best buns (potato bread-like?) That really made my day. Make sure to also try all their different cocktails and even their different flavored lemonades.However, the absolutely best thing about Smashed is their service and staff. We brought our dog and they were so accommodating even though we were the only ones eating outside (it was a bit cold out that day). They continually checked in on us for everything without being too overbearing and even turned on their heaters outside even though we didn't ask for it. We'll definitely be back for the good food and great people.

As I texted when asked how it was: "was good, practically inhaled it"Pretty great burgers with fantastic flavors and freshness, all cooked very well. Plenty of options for everybody's personal preference, from classic simple burgers to the Cali topped with a fried egg, arugula, avocado, and some other tasty things. The side of tots were steamy yet crispy, and while I did get takeout, the ambiance indoors was warm, clean and inviting with a large bar and plenty of seating available for groups of all sizes. The service was incredibly friendly and prompt. My only hesitation is the pricing as it is expensive for a smash burger (comes with sides but ranging from $13-$16) but depending on who you are it may well be worth it. Would definitely recommend.

I loved Smashed! First of all, this was my first time in Holly Springs, and I really enjoyed my visit. The downtown is really cute, mostly walkable, and there is plenty of parking. The service at Smashed was really good. Everyone was nice. And I was in and out so quickly! I never felt like I was waiting for anything. And they gave me a to go cup for my water which was really nice and helpful. The ambiance was pretty good and clean. The food was really good too. I enjoyed the onion rings (although I wish I got a few more). And I loved the black bean burger. The black bean burger was great because it almost tasted a little smoky, which made it seem more similar to a real burger. I also liked the sauces provided. My one suggestion would be to have even more veggie burger options!
