[[{“value”:”Some people love big, juicy burger patties, while others prefer flattened, crispy-edged smashburgers. I think both burger types are delicious, and depending on my mood, I switch between them. Unfortunately, smashburgers aren’t quite as common as traditional hamburgers. Where can you get the best smash in town? Here are 7 restaurant chains with the best smashburger-style cheeseburgers, according to diners.
Smashburger
Smashburger has quickly become one of my favorite burger-centric restaurants. The Classic Smash is made with simple but high-quality ingredients, including a Certified Angus Beef burger, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, Smash Sauce, and ketchup, and is served on a butter-toasted bun.
Freddy’s Frozen Custard
Freddy’s also makes the perfect cheeseburger smash. The Original Double features ultra-thin, caramelized patties with signature Freddy’s seasoning and melted cheese, and it’s honestly heaven on a bun. “Freddy’s is way better for a Midwest smash burger and their cheese curds are actually good unlike Culver’s,” one person maintains. Another declared it a “god level” burger. “Had Freddy’s for the first time in Arkansas a while back and was shocked at how good it was,” another said. Yet another calls it the “Best burger chain in the country, full stop.”
Culver’s
The Culver’s Deluxe ButterBurger is one of the most famous smashburgers made with “fresh, never frozen beef,” Wisconsin cheese, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, pickles, sweet red onion, its signature mayo, and topped on a lightly buttered, toasted bun. It is the “best burger,” writes a Redditor.

Shake Shack
Shake Shack’s smashburgers are one of my favorites, made with “no hormones and no antibiotics ever,” the website proudly declares. “Our proprietary Shack blend is freshly ground and served on a non-GMO potato bun.” The chain “hands down” serves the best burgers, one Redditor maintains. “There’s something in the crack that they use to coat the Pattie’s and give them that crust. Mmmmmmmm.” Another adds that the Shake Shack burger is “more elevated than McDonald’s or Burger King.”
Habit Burger & Grill
The Habit Burger serves up a chargrilled smash-style cheeseburger with smoky, bold flavor. The Double Char, with two freshly smashed beef patties, caramelized onions, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, pickles, and mayo on a toasted bun, is a fan favorite. “Habit is wildly underrated. Double Char is as solid as they come,” writes a Redditor.
Wahlburgers
Wahlburgers uses a proprietary blend of fresh Angus beef, specifically Angus chuck, brisket, and short rib, chosen for quality, marbling, and flavor, resulting in juicy, rich-tasting patties used in their classic smashburgers. “The Our Burger Smash” is a favorite, consisting of two Angus beef patties, government cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and Paul’s signature Wahl Sauce.
Whataburger
Whataburger uses “100% fresh, never-frozen American beef and fresh vegetables, chopped in-house daily in its smashburgers. Diners maintain it is a smash hit. “Whataburger is hands down top 3 fast food burgers. 70% of the time, I’ll choose Whataburger; but every once i get a craving that only in n out can crush,” one Redditor writes.
