Glassboro to Welcome Foodie Hotspot SmashBros

Glassboro to Welcome Foodie Hotspot SmashBros

Opened only about six months in Runnemede New Jersey, SmashBros has become so popular they are expanding to a second (and much larger) location which is coming soon to Glassboro.

The new location at 710 Delsea Drive takes over a building which was previously home to Oliver’s Twist.

Back in April I met up with brothers Mo and Fahmi who live in South Jersey, and after many years working in the restaurant and hospitality industry they took a chance on a small Runnemede building to offer delicious smashburgers, chicken wings, cheesesteaks, Mac & Cheese Balls and more.

They were absolutely hoping for success but it seems customer response has gone well beyond their expectations.… with long lines of customers waiting for orders at the little Runnemede foodie hotspot. 

SmashBros is also smashing it out of the park in getting the word out. They have over 14,000 followers on instagram and many well known area foodie influencers have featured the burgers, wings and more.

The happy challenge they face is the Runnemede building is so small that it has limited space for inventory, a small kitchen, no room for indoor seating…. And really not even enough room for customers who are waiting for orders.

With the new Glassboro location those problems will go away, as the building is considerably larger than the Runnemede location and already features a large dining room area which supports numerous dining tables (I had also visited and covered the Oliver’s Twist opening)

An interesting “twist” to the story is the prior restaurant in Glassboro only utilized the left half of the building, but according to popular foodie website South Jersey Food Scene, the brothers are taking over the entire building!

Marilyn of SJFS explains the left side of the building where Oliver’s Twist was located will be focused on the Smash Bros experience, featuring a menu similar to what they offer in Runnemede.

But the right side of the building will be outfitted as a new concept offering a sweeter café-oriented experience including crepes, waffles, milkshakes, coffee and more.

SmashBros Smashburgers

During my Runnemede visit in the spring I was fortunate enough to get to try several of their amazing items including their signature bro burger Smashburger, chicken wings, fries and the Mac and cheese balls.

If you aren’t familiar with the “smash” style burgers, it starts with a ball of beef that is placed on the hot grill and then a flattening utensil is used to literally smashed the meat into the grill!

The high heat of the grill and the pressing action seals the juices into the burger, and gives the outer edges a slighter crispiness.

Smash burgers typically end up being a thinner burger patty so a standard order is usually a double.

It’s an incredibly tasty burger made from a blend of meats including brisket… then the brothers smartly chose to use the super soft and always fresh Martin’s potato buns!
