The burgers are well built. They're definitely better than many places Southside. Fries are very seasoned (something in particular is a it sweet that I did not care for), and the quality could have been better. Patty for smash burger was a bit too seasoned for my liking as I wanted more of that beefy flavour. The smash patty also wasn't flat as you'd expect. Overall the staff was very pleasant and I'd be more than interested in trying their other options.

The hamburger is one of my favourite sandwiches, and Smash and Sear did not disappoint. My brother had a Loaded Smash Burger with seasoned fries and I had the Spicy Smash. We were both pleased. Patties were juicy and the various condiments were flavourful. The spicy patty is actually spicy! The only thing I would have is a pineapple slice. I opted to not get fries because I prefer homemade and not the mass-produced crinkle cut ones.

If you're looking for a place that delivers bold flavors and unique twists, this restaurant is a must-visit! The smash burgers were everything you could want—crispy on the edges yet incredibly juicy inside. The Chickpea Smash, a fusion take on doubles, was a standout and instantly became my new favorite. The wings were equally impressive, served with a trio of flavorful sauces: Curry, BBQ, and Buffalo. Each one was distinct and delicious, making it hard to pick a favorite. From the creative menu to the mouthwatering execution, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend for foodies and anyone who loves a mix of comfort and creativity on their plate!

Recommended by a friend and they didn't disappoint. The smash burger was hefty, juicy, well seasoned and encompassed in a mildly sweet bun. Perfectly paired along with seasoned fries with that jamaican flair. (Most places you go just dash some generic all purpose and call it "seasoned"). Will deffo be revisiting as they are the one of a very few that does a burger right and offer a host of other flavorful dishes.

Purchased burgers and fries and first time the jerk pasta. Their food is always consistent, well presented and tasty. Keep up the good work

This Jamaican fusion restaurant is a whole vibe. The staff is friendly and welcoming, food is delicious especially the escovitch fish and oxtail. The burgers and fries are flavorful and filling. The jerk chicken and curry goat was just okay but the rice and peas definitely hit the spot. I recommend you try it all still. You’ll enjoy
