*Please be patient, good food take time* I was leaving my buddies place headed home and noticed a stand. I honestly stopped thinking it was a taco stand. Since I was already there I figured why not give it a try. Sheeesh! My socks were blown off and my stomach was thanking me for this decision. I’m a big boy so I ordered three burgers and fries. I do recommend getting at least two burgers. Your tummy will thank you! The Choppy Joey is unmatched! I should have gotten three of those! Don’t get me wrong the burgers are great and flavorful but that Choppy Joey is on another level. The staff here are so friendly. It’s a two man crew and they were explaining the menu, making food and still being polite and quick as possible. Zero complaints on my end. I can see why they have five stars. And let me not forget the fries! These taste like McDonald’s fries I remember as a kid. I’LL BE BACK

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).

I’m going to keep it simple, maybe not. Pulled up to a car wash, typical tent and kitchen setup. You know it’s already going to be good by that. As first timers we asked George what’s the best of the best. He said a double smash and the choppy joe. Both of them were insane, definitely top of my list for burgers. The real winner is the choppy joe though. Brick and mortar coming soon, you know I’ll definitely be back!

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.

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

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!

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!
