Smash House Kosher Burgers Expands to Brooklyn’s Coney Island Avenue
Smash House Kosher Burgers is adding a new location at 1383 Coney Island Avenue, between Avenues J and K in Brooklyn, as it continues steady growth in the kosher food scene. With existing locations in Queens, Manhattan, Cedarhurst, Monsey, and Florida, Smash House, spearheaded by Benji Haimoff, has become a familiar name for those seeking reliable kosher burger and schnitzel options. While the Smash House Burger is a franchise model, it is unclear if this is a franchisee or corporately owned, though in an interview with the founder, it was insinuated that the Brooklyn location is franchised, though Haimoff is involved in all locations.
A key element of Smash House’s appeal is its emphasis on the “smashed burger” technique, pressing the beef patty onto a hot griddle to achieve maximum crispness and develop a flavorful, caramelized crust. This method offers a distinct contrast to traditional burgers, providing a thinner, texturally crisp patty that retains juicy tenderness in the center. The technique is a central part of what sets the menu apart and attracts those who appreciate this unique take on classic burgers.
The menu features a variety of popular choices, including their signature Classic Smash burger, which can be customized with toppings like non-dairy cheese, beef bacon, onions, or jalapeños. Their schnitzel sandwiches stand out as well, offering a crispy and savory option for those who prefer chicken. Smash House’s use of non-dairy cheese ensures all menu items remain pareve, widening their appeal and options for kosher diners.
Families visiting Smash House Kosher Burgers will appreciate the dedicated kids’ menu, which features smaller portions of popular favorites like sliders and chicken schnitzel, perfect for younger diners. To make visits even more special, Smash House also offers free prizes with kids’ meals, adding a fun and memorable element that children look forward to each time they dine. This thoughtful touch makes Smash House a convenient and enjoyable choice for family outings.
Some confusion can arise due to similar names of burger joints, including in the area. The national chain Smashburger (smashburger.com) is not kosher, even though the names are alike. Additionally, directly across the street at 1360 Coney Island Avenue, a kosher spot simply called “SMASH” (find them at ny.smashburger on Instagram) is in operation.
For those interested in the unique taste and texture of the classic smashed burger or a solid schnitzel sandwich, Smash House brings another welcome kosher option to the Brooklyn community, though, as we have covered previously, the burger selection is arguably saturated and has resulted in the closing of some operations, such as Amsterdam Burger on Avenue J.
