Smashville Hot Chicken & Burgers Review: Orlando’s Newest Crave-Worthy Spot

If you are cruising down Alafaya Trail looking for a meal that hits the spot, look no further than Smashville Hot Chicken & Burgers. Located in the heart of Orlando, FL, this spot is quickly becoming a favorite for locals and UCF students alike who are searching for high-quality comfort food that doesn’t break the bank.

The Menu: Smashed to Perfection

The star of the show at Smashville is, unsurprisingly, the Smash Burger. These aren’t your typical thick, frozen patties; they are expertly smashed on the grill to create those crispy, caramelized edges that burger lovers dream of. You can customize your hunger level with three options:

• Single Patty: Perfect for a light lunch.
• Double Patty: The gold standard for a satisfying meal.
• Triple Patty: For the truly hungry who want to experience maximum “smash” flavor.

Each burger is reasonably priced and comes loaded with fresh toppings. Whether you want classic pickles and onions or want to level up with crispy bacon, every bite is elevated by their signature Smashsauce. For those preferring a plant-based option, they offer an Impossible Burger that holds its own against the beef version. Not a burger fan? Their Chicken Sandwiches are just as impressive, offering a satisfying crunch and plenty of flavor.

Fries That Stay Hot (Literally!)

One of the biggest wins at Smashville is the side game. We’ve all dealt with lukewarm fries, but at Smashville, the fries come out very hot and actually stay hot throughout your meal. You have four delicious ways to order them:

• Regular: Classic and salted.
• Cajun: For those who want a little kick.
• Cheese: Smothered in gooey goodness.
• Dirty Fries: The ultimate indulgence, topped with all the best fixings.

Pro-Tip: Go for the Combo Meal. It includes your choice of burger or sandwich, a side of those piping hot fries, and a fountain drink for a complete, budget-friendly meal.

The Vibe: Graffiti and University Perks

Walking into Smashville, you’re immediately greeted by a unique decor featuring vibrant graffiti on the walls, giving the space an urban, energetic feel that stands out from typical chain restaurants. While the seating follows the standard fast-food layout of high tops and booths—which some might find could be improved for extra comfort—it’s perfect for a quick, casual bite with friends.

Smashville also knows its audience. Being so close to campus, they offer a fantastic 15% discount for UCF students and staff. Just bring your ID and enjoy one of the best value meals in the 32765 area!

Final Verdict

Whether you’re a UCF student looking for a study break or an Orlando local on the hunt for a delicious smash burger, Smashville Hot Chicken & Burgers is a must-visit. Between the “Dirty Fries” and the Triple Smash Burger, your taste buds (and your wallet) will thank you.
