Smashed - Digbeth

Birmingham's Digbeth district has a new burger heavyweight in Smashed, a spot that's been earning serious local buzz for its no-nonsense approach to American-style patties. With a solid Food Hygiene Rating and a growing reputation among Birmingham's street food scene, this is the kind of place that lets the cooking do the talking — no gimmicks, just properly smashed beef.

The menu keeps things tight and focused: think double cheeseburgers with crispy, lacy edges, soft Martin's potato rolls, and that perfect balance of melted cheese, tangy pickles, and a house sauce that ties it all together. What sets Smashed apart is the texture — those thin patties get cooked on a flat-top until they're caramelised and craggy, giving every bite a satisfying crunch before the beefy juiciness kicks in. Whether you're after a classic single or a stacked double with bacon, this is proper burger craft. They're currently serving until late, so it's an easy call for a post-work fix or a weekend treat in Digbeth.
