This restaurant, which prides itself on using only high-quality ingredients and providing a curated menu unique to each location, is self-proclaimed as "The Best Smashed Burgers in New Jersey." Mashed Burgers was also named "Best New Restaurant of 2024" by Best of NJ.

The menu, which is Halal-certified, varies by location. The Cliffside Park and Hoboken menus both feature Haagen-Dazs milkshakes, pudding cups, fries, and burgers like the "Mashed," made with sauteed onions, pickles, American cheese, and its signature Mash sauce.
