Happy Monday, Toronto! We’ve returned once again with a fresh new roundup for you: the best smash burgers in the city. While regular burgers are often a solid choice, some of us may get cravings that only a smash burger can fix. After all, how can it not, with its crispy crust on the outside and juicy and soft meat on the inside? A lot of restaurants have popped up in The 6ix in the last few years that specialise in smash burgers and for good reason, given how popular smash burgers are. So let’s get right into it, shall we?
Here’s where you can find the best smash burgers in Toronto:
Burger Drops
The burger joint keeps it simple with just its two cheeseburgers: Original and American. They both come with American cheese and the signature Drop Sauce, on toasted potato rolls. You can get it as a single, double or as a veggie option. No reservations are needed.
Happy Burger
The restaurant is known for its smash burgers and hot dogs as well. Meat burger options include Happy Cheeseburger, Double Happy Cheeseburger, Oklahoma Onion Burger, Happy Stack, and Pastrami Burger. No reservations are needed.

Extra Burger
It has been a part of the Toronto burger scene since 2017. Extra Burger is another place that keeps it simple with its Cheeseburger and Double Cheeseburger, which have tomato, lettuce, kosher pickles, secret sauce and American cheese.
Slayer Burger
The space draws inspiration from a rock n’ roll aesthetic. Three of the beef burgers on the menu are made with Canadian AAA beef patties, and two of them come with bacon. There’s also the First Degree Murder burger, which has a wagyu patty and crispy onions. No reservations are needed.
Matty’s Patty’s
We can’t talk smash burgers without mentioning Matty’s Patty’s. On the menu, you can find The Matty (7oz 100% AAA Beef patty), cheeseburgers (single, double and triple options), and Impossible cheeseburgers. Sauce choices include MP Sauce, Jalapeño Mayo, and Spicy Ketchup.
Harry’s Charbroiled
Made by cooking the patties over an open flame, the specialty of this place is charbroiled burgers. There are four beef burgers, two chorizo burgers, and one Impossible burger. No reservations are needed.

Rudy
One of the early ones in the Toronto smash burger space, perhaps? A no-fuss menu with The Big Rudy (two patties, three buns), The Rude Dude (double cheeseburger), and The Rudy (single cheeseburger). No reservations are needed.
Rosie’s Burgers
Another fan-favourite. The burger spot started in Mississauga before expanding to The 6ix. You’ve got cheeseburger options for single, double, and triple. Extras include hot sauce, gravy and mayo. No reservations are needed.
Simple Burger
For beef burgers, you’ve got the Single Burger, Double Smash Burger and the House Burger (caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, bacon). No reservations are needed.
Smash Pit
This Etobicoke spot features Original Smash, Signature Bacon Smash, Big Smash, and Super Smash. The last one comes with three 4 oz Angus ground chuck and beef brisket patties, while Big Smash is the same but with two patties. No reservations are needed.
