So good. Just a solid, delicious smash burger. Recommend the double. Fries are great too. Everything made fresh. Go now!

Amazing smash burgers 10/10 would definitely recommend. House sauce is delicious as are the burgers. A go to spot for me from now on

You can taste the quality meat. Really good smash burger, one of the best in the Valley, will be back again for sure. The owner was so nice he even gave a puppy patty to my dog, she gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as well. They have a place to sit and enjoy ur burger while it’s hot too. Very clean, priced good, tasty, good quality and friendly (just what the valley needs).

When it comes to burgers, I am very picky and my standards are very high. Let me just say that Smashin Sams’ smashburgers were hands down THE BEST smash burger I’ve ever had. The buns were buttery and fluffy and the patty was thin and crispy, yet flavorful—absolute perfection. The five of us got to the pop-up around 11 pm and they only had five patties left, which means we only had the singles, but even still they were delicious. I’m looking forward to going back and trying the doubles, but keep in mind the burgers are light so I could have easily inhaled three of them. Best part about the burgers is that they are halal! You can definitely taste the better meat quality. Will definitely come back soon

The search for the perfect smash burger was over when George opened his pop-up here last year, since then his handmade halal patties have become a cult favorite amongst those with good taste. Already a regular and ready for the next level, the party melt is the move here. Get it mustard fried.

Opens at 7pm and stops when they run out of food, check it on Instagram to see if it’s still open. It’s located inside a Car Wash lot, and that’s where we parked. The burger patties were perfectly smashed and crisp without being burned. The grilled onion, cheese and dipping sauce went perfectly with it. The patties are thin, so if you eat large portions get a double or triple. The fries were the best I’ve had in a long time. Super crisp and delicious. Prices are great!

Outer edges of the burger were crispy, but juicy in the middle. Good lightly seasoned crispy fries too. Friendly dude and very reasonable priced. car wash parking lot burgers are why I still love the valley.

Delicious!!! Best smash burgers I’ve ever had. Get the double with grilled onions it won’t disappoint! Owner is very sweet and hope he gets a storefront restaurant very soon! Currently located at a car wash but there is still some seating available!
