Smash burgers in Waterford

A smash burger is not a thinner version of a pub burger. The patty goes onto a hot griddle and is pressed hard and fast, so the surface caramelises into a crust while the inside stays juicy. That crust is the entire point, and it is why a smash burger cannot be cooked in advance and held under a lamp.

Why dry-aged beef

We use dry-aged beef patties. Dry-ageing draws moisture out of the beef and concentrates the flavour, which is why a dry-aged patty tastes beefier than a standard mince patty of the same weight. It is a more expensive way to buy beef and a slower one, and it is the single biggest difference between our burgers and a cheaper burger bought elsewhere in Waterford.

Built to order, not built in advance

Every burger is put together when you order it. You can add extras such as bacon, cheese or an additional patty, and you can take things off — no onions, no sauce, whatever you need. Those changes are printed on the kitchen ticket rather than passed on verbally, so what you asked for is what gets made. If you have an allergy, tell us at the point of ordering and check the allergen page first.
