Smash and Dash in Kaiserslautern

The burgers there are so good! Went there with my boyfriend and we both really loved it so much. Normally I'm not much of a burger fan, but I had such a craving for them that we absolutely had to go! Highly recommended. :)

Great food and great service from Alan

Edit on 12/22/24- this is the millionth time I have eaten here. Still incredible, with incredible people who work here. Particular shout out to Allen for being rad (but also Chloe -spelling!? I'm sorry!!??- and Victoria rule). But Allen is all time MVP. Thank you all for your excellent service and a fun time, every time 🥰 OG review- First time eating here today-- all of the food is absolutely delicious!!! The onion rings were great, crispy, and good flavor. Their tater tots are amazing- crunchy on the outside but soft inside like mashed potatoes. Their spicy burger (can't remember then name at the moment) was a 10/10, and good size! My husband and I split it for a smaller lunch. Tasty IPA on tap. Great and friendly service. Overall, excellent food and experience, and will be going back soon for sure!

Great place for an authentic smash burger in the area Alan was a great waiter and Victoria made incredible drinks! I will definitely be back in the future and I would highly recommend it.

My husband and I shared the oaklahoma burger with fries, also ordered the onion rings and shared all of it, Was delicious only next time we will only oder onion rings they were delicious and an extra ranch... The burgers are huge. There is no way I could eat one by myself.... Loved the music just loud enough to hear but not too loud.. We will be back to try the mushroom and Swiss..

Top restaurant!! Super nice staff. Great atmosphere and the nice Alan was our host today! Definitely come more often!

Thank you Alan for the great service :)

Everything is top notch! Food, service and ambience are more than just inviting! Alan best man!

Alan good man but of course the others too

As always, the burgers were a feast. The service was very friendly as always. Clear recommendation

I love coming here with my family to eat in or take out. It never disappoints.

Food, service, and atmosphere are fantastic.

Very tasty burgers and sufficient portion sizes. The 6 of us were there for the first time in November and were not disappointed. I had the Mac & Cheese Burger, which was a special in November, and it tasted really good. I would definitely like this to be on the menu because it was really tasty. The desserts were also very good. We'll definitely be back soon 😊

American, English language mandatory. At least with us. "Smash" burger tasteful, delicious. Service great. All in all satisfied Children too.

Went to Smash and Dash for the first time. The food was great and I would like to say special thank you to my waiter Pete. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly and very attentive. I will recommend this place to all my friends

The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. We were served my Victoria she was super sweet and patient with everybody. She spoke german and english which was perfect because some of us didn’t speak one of the two. Will be there again.

Love this place! Food is delicious and our server Peter was amazing. He is so attentive and friendly. Thank you for a great dinner!! We will be back.

Great food and amazing service! Pete was awesome!

We had the mushroom burger, fries and onion rings. The food was really fresh and seasoned perfectly. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

Best Smashburger within 100km of Kaiserslautern

One of the hottest burgers I've ever had. Really damn tasty. Plus Tater Tots, which aren't usually available in Germany, and Southern Sweet Tea, which rounds the whole thing off in an American way. Really worth the money!

Excellent burgers, you can forget about losing weight

$$$ pricey. I'm talking California prices.

Wasn't expecting to find smash burgers in the area, but what a pleasant surprise. I had the Oklahoma Onion Burger, and though it wasn't 100% authentic, it was an excellent take on what was originally a poverty/depression era burger. The fries were good, and the southern style sweet tea was just what I needed. I'll be back for sure!

This place is great! They have added craft beers to their beer fridge and on tap. It's a little pricey but makes the place pretty awesome!

Delicious food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere Highly recommended 👍

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! My wife and I got the fuego burger and onion rings. Will definitely be a returning customer!

First time customer! The tots are the best I’ve had in my life… Chantal was a wonderful waitress. She was attentive, kind, and catered to my children. The burgers are good… kids liked the chicken nuggets. Definitely would recommend as a top burger joint around Ktown and Ramstein. Thanks guys!

Food, location and service is always awesome!! Chantal was our latest and she was all over it.

The taste and quality of the food are very good, the prices are actually reasonable, it just takes a relatively long time to get your order. A menu in German would also be very helpful, everything is only designed for Americans

Great food, authentic American style smash burgers. Great recommendation.

Super chill atmosphere. Good drinks. Decent food

All the service staff were super friendly, some German-speaking and some English. The food was ready quickly, you didn't have to wait long (not even between the starter and the main course). The portions are nice and big. The burgers are large, which makes them a bit unwieldy, but the taste makes up for it. The atmosphere is great, there are even games that you could play while you wait.

We found this place by googling "restaurants near me" and we are so glad!!! Absolutely loved everything about it and the people are so nice. We ordered the Bacon Jammer burger with onion rings. My husband and always split meals as not to waste food and money. My husband told our server we were going to split the meal. When he served our burger and onion rings, they had cut the burger in half, placed it on a separate place along with half of the onion rings. We have never had ANY place to do that for us. Usually the most they will do is bring an extra plate and some times they don't even do that. The burger was GREAT! I'm usually not a fan of smashed burgers because they are usually hard and dry but this one was neither one. It was juicy and cooked just right. The onion rights are the best I have since my grandfather closed his cafe over 40 years ago. They have very interesting burgers that we want to try next. They have a burger challenge that you can read about on Facebook. They do have outside seating but it was closed for the winter. We can't wait to go back and sit in there courtyard. We definitely recommend this restaurant and most definitely will go back the first chance we get.

Great place for an American burger! Very friendly staff and delicious food!

Probably the best burger I've eaten so far! Cool atmosphere, very friendly service.

The food was absolutely amazing. We opted for takeout since I have two kids under two. One thing we noticed, though, was the heat buildup inside the restaurant when it gets crowded. I was sweating while waiting for the food!

Small menu, but very good food at a good price. The staff is very nice.

Smash and Dash Burger is a hidden gem! The cute aesthetic instantly catches your eye, and the modern bathrooms are a pleasant surprise. As for the food, the Fuego Smash Burger is quite literally "fuego"—packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. I also tried the Gin Basil Smash, which was different in the best way—refreshing and sassy! The customer service was pristine, with Peter, our waiter, going above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Very tasty burgers and really nice ambience.

Small, manageable menu, friendly service, cool ambience Price-performance is right Warning: this is a burger joint! There's no such thing as a small salad or anything like that here

Great atmosphere if you like American style. The map is manageable and yet sufficient to cover almost everything. The burgers were extremely tasty.

Good value for money, good burgers. Can you go there?

Sometimes you just need a good burger fix… great burgers, the fuego is nice- not crazy spicy (it’s Germany…) yet flavorful & the crispy onion rings… Friendly servers, clean restaurant & the lady’s bathroom is a fun surprise. 😅

Smash and Dash has amaaaaaaazingly delicious Burgers, Fries, Onion Rings and more! I highly recommend it!!!!! My family drives gladly 45 Minutes to enjoy Smash and Dash.. It is simply our FAVE! The customer service is amazing as well.. You always get greeted with a smile and everyone makes sure that you are well taken care of! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!!

Here is one of the best Smashburgers in the world. Period.

Found this place by accident and I have to say probably the best burgers I've had in Germany. The lady serving us was amazing, atmosphere nice and chill, definitely gonna visit again.

Great burger, no long waiting times. Will come back :)

Wow, this has been the best burger we have found in Europe. If you are longing for an American style burger this is the place. Can you find “gourmet” burgers elsewhere? Yes, but from what we’ve found is the patty’s are way too thick, and if they aren’t seasoned well it’s unappetizing. It’s just a brick of meat. Smash and Dash does uses the smash concept and it works. The meat has an outer crust to it that makes the burger texturally very pleasing. We had tater tots with our burgers. Those tots would make Napoleon Dynamite proud. Definitely recommend this place.

I have been to Smash and Dash around 10 times and the food is always outstanding. They make the best burgers in the area, and possibly the best burger I have ever had. It is fast, fresh, perfectly cooked with crunchy, crispy edges and super soft brioche buns. The tater tots are incredible. This place does not try to do too much, and what they do they do right. If I could give it 10 stars I would. My kids beg me to take them to Smash and Dash every weekend. The kids size burger with fries is only 6.50 Euro. Compare that to the outrageous prices at Five Guys on base....... The wait staff is great, all speak English and are really polite and nice.

Great atmosphere and amazing food.

Clo, Chantal, and Peter have alway been incredibly polite and friendly. The burgers are the best in the KMC, and that Maple Bacon Oldfashion is ridiculously good. Not only do my wife and I frequent Smash & Dash, but this has become a staple for my soldiers for get-together and going-away parties. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Man when I tell yall this was the best burger I’ve ever had, I mean it with my whole heart. It was so good I had to come back the very next day because I couldn’t believe what I had eaten. And it was reasonably priced. Love it!! 10/10 would recommend everyday!

I visited Smash & Dash for the first time and found a great restaurant with food and service that was outstanding. The exterior of the building hides the gem you will find inside. Besides my excellent meal, I also witnessed a young man starting a challenge to eat a very large burger in less than 20 minutes. I am not familiar with the rules or reward if completed, but it was an impressive stack of beef. I plan to visit Smash & Dash again.

Great food, friendly service Will definitely come again

Love this place so much I had to leave a review on both Facebook and google. Food is always great, highly recommend the mushroom bliss burger and the tots. The facility is clean and the staff are kind and speak English !

An excellent burger joint! I had the Feugo with bacon. Burger and onions with kalapenos done The right way. Tots are tasty as well but try the fries. Drank the Two Chefs Brewing Bon Chef IPA, nice light alittle hoppy. Pairs well with burgers and does not overpower the burger flavor.

Pros: well lit, ambiance, and currently take credit cards Cons: Service, price, parking, and tator tots. Gastrointestinal issues. I was on a hike with the family and decided to stop here for a quick lunch. We entered the restaurant with our personal bottles of water and were seated with no problems. After receiving our orders, the waitress rudely says that outside drinks are not allowed and she insists that I place my bottle under the table (I was ready to walk away, but family didn't want to leave). The burgers had ok flavor but were too greasy and couldn't pick up with hands as the thin beef would try to slide out from bun (used fork and knife). The tator tots tasted grainy, and the price was high for burgers and fries (min of 15 euros), and water was another 3 euros. The price and lack of service (rude waitress) were my biggest issues with my experience. There are many other choices to try for cheaper prices. There also seemed to be limited parking outside on a busy priority road.

Great place for a burger and beer! Spicy ranch was 💯

If you write open it should also be on, vottkatastophe

Juicy burgers, delicious cocktails, the best brownie 🥰, cozy atmosphere and great service 😊

Loved the burgers. Reminds me of an old-fashioned burger joint. Prices were reasonable. Great atmosphere.

Super nice and attentive service... Burgers taste and look at the highest level. We also found the price performance to be okay!!! Definitely worth a visit.

Great food, nice atmosphere. They specialize in smash burgers here and you can tell, anytime again 😋😋😋😋😋😋

If you want to try authentic burgers like they taste in the States (and sometimes even better), this is the place for you. Fewer greens and other things you don't need, but more flavor. Absolute recommendation. There are 5 stars because of the option to pay by card. Unfortunately, this is always an exception in Germany.

This place is awesome. Been here a year and I have eaten here at least 3 times a month if not more.

This is just so delicious. I can only recommend eating here. If you're really in the mood for a hamburger then Smash&Dash is the right place! Thank you very much!

First of all a big shout out to the service. I arrived a bit moody and hangry and yet the staff was super sweet, helpful and was able to change my mood quickly. Sorry for being such a pain 😅🫣 the service was great and above all super fast. Not just the drinks, even the food. The only thing I really have to "complain" about is that the meat was a bit too salty for me as a European (although I really like salt) but otherwise the food was 😚🤌 Chefs kiss. I will definitely leave as a satisfied customer afterwards. And little insider tip, check out the toilet... soooo cool 🤩

A nice little spot to grab a smash burger! Very nice staff and delicious food! I took a chance on the Spongebob burger and it’s pretty good! It’s not for everyone but it was different and appealing to me!

Double OG burger was delicious. Tots were good. We will be back!

Delicious burgers that are worth your money! Very friendly staff. Nice and cozy atmosphere! It's definitely not the last time we've been here 👍🏻

Great ambience, nice staff and super delicious food Any time

Great burger, nice service! Unfortunately, the beer garden is not open despite the nice weather.

It's just ok, nothing to much about. Good seating.

Smash and dash is the best smash burger in the area! They are SO dang good

We were just at the burger joint and the food was just fantastic. The smashed burgers were perfectly prepared and really crispy. Although the selection of burgers is small, the quality is overwhelming. Highly Recommended! We love coming here regularly and have been here for the fifth time now. The staff is super friendly and always in a good mood. 100% recommended. We just visited the burger place, and the food was simply amazing. The smashed burgers were perfectly cooked and truly crispy. Even though the burger selection is small, the quality is overwhelming. Absolutely recommend! We love coming here regularly and have been here five times already. The staff is super friendly and always cheerful. 100% worth a visit.

Tasty food, drinks and friendly customer service. I'll definitely be returning again soon.

This was an awesome smash burger place I have been to in Europe. The burgers were great!

Great place overall. The food is absolutely amazing, especially the tots! They source their meat from a quality local butcher and it shows. Atmosphere is great for evening drinks out with friends and family friendly during the day. I'll definitely swing by again when I'm in town.

Wonderful, we loved wellness!!! It's all ok!!!! 👍

Simply awesome. Suitable for the whole family. Service, food, ambience inside and outside perfect. Prices are absolutely ok. Alan, nice to have you back. You and your team, you are the best.

Gigantic burgers! Incredibly delicious! Service consistently TOP! Nice ambience! Everything great!

Very good smash burgers, nice staff and good portions

Food is what you would expect from an American place which is a good thing since we are in Germany. We had to wait a while for Chantal to take our order, she seemed busy at the bar, when I tried to get her attention she was on her phone and I waived at her, she came over and seemed upset that I had the gall to get her attention. Viktoria took care of us the rest of the time and she was very friendly and worked fast. Viktoria told me Chantal is not usually like that maybe my face caused the whole thing. Either way I hope your experience doesn't feel anything like mine.

Wow! Best burger place in Germany and I'm willing to bet on it! Staff were super cool and the place just made ya feel all good inside. In a laid back chill whatever let's eat way.

Very tasty burgers and friendly service. We are absolutely satisfied and will definitely go again! :)

Food was great, but the challenge with 6 patties was too easy, I ordered onion rings afterwards and some ice cream.😂 In return I got a t-shirt and the burger for free. Tater Tots are highly recommended!!

Have eaten here 7 times and have never been disappointed. The burgers and the ambience are simply uniquely good. Combined with very friendly service, always worth a visit. Today was a special day when I took part in the Burger Challenge and passed it. As a reward there was the burger and one of the self-designed T-shirts + photo on the house.

Good citizens and delicious side dishes.

Disappointing. It wasn’t busy, but the wait staff seemed annoyed when I was confused about some menu items and had some clarifying questions. The service from then was passive aggressive at best. It cost 12€ for the thinnest burger I’ve maybe ever had and 8€ for a root beer float that consisted mainly of whipped cream. The flavors were pretty good, but I just can’t justify it with the service and prices how they are. I’ll go to 16/57 next time. Far better in all aspects. Sad, because other Benji’s establishments are regularly good.

We had an early Saturday evening dinner. There was no issue for us finding parking across the street. Inside was clean and fashionable, and looked like it was getting busy when we left around 515. Burgers, onion, rings, fries, and tots were all good, as were the sundaes we had for dessert.

We’ve been to Smash and Dash multiple times now. Our first experience was reheated leftovers from a catered work event, and those were amazing enough to get us into the restaurant ASAP! The burgers are great. I like looking at the monthly burger creations - this month’s BLT Smash was good enough to get me to deviate from my usual Oklahoma Onion Smash! The fuego sauce really adds something special to the burgers. Most importantly, this is one of the few places where my 3 year old will eat everything on his plate! Location in Einsiedlerhof is very convenient and street parking is available in front of and behind the restaurant. Staff are super friendly and attentive. If you’re concerned about a language barrier, everyone speaks great English! When I was last there, card payments were possible with orders over €20.

Spent our lunch break here today. Were warmly welcomed and served straight away without a long wait. Our burgers arrived quickly and were really tasty. Fries hot and crispy. Everything as you wish. We will be back definitely.

Good food, good service, reasonable prices ,4 Stars because there is always room for improvement. Fits👍, 4 stars because someone who is already perfect can't improve any further Bacon burgers, onion rings, everything is great, there are also root beer floats here!

I had the OG with tots with a cold pils on a hot day. It was very good

Food was very good and served super fresh. Tater tots are very good but more like small croquettes. Staff was friendly and efficient.

We love that they have card & board games to play while you wait. The service is on point & the award winning burger is yummy! Oh, and the bathroom is quirky & fun 🥚

Great smash burger and tots. Cool atmosphere also.

Fuego Bürger 🍔 🔥 is Excellent! Amazing Flavors

Excellent burgers and tots! This restaurant boasts a great menu of American style burgers without being too complicated. It rivals any other burger I’ve had.
