The smash burger trend is going strong in the Garden State and I’m totally here for it.
7th Street Burger, a smash burger chain co-founded by two childhood friends, Kevin and Paras, in the East Village in NYC, has opened another New Jersey location with more in the works.

What is a smash burger?
A “smash burger” is made by smashing the meat patty on the grill, creating a crispy outer crust while keeping the center of the burger juicy. 7th Street takes it to the next level with their house sauce and ghost pepper sauce.
The restaurant offers single and double cheeseburgers, the spicy jalapeño cheeseburger, regular fries, loaded fries, and Impossible vegetarian versions of each of the burgers.

“7th Street is three guys on the grill, with three items on the menu, and nine ingredients in the restaurant,” says co-founder, Kevin Rezvan.
We bring a truly simple menu, with top quality ingredients, and value-focused products to our customers.
With the success of 7th Street Burger’s Hoboken restaurant (which you can find at 112 Washington Street), they just opened another location.
