Super Smash Burgers 7.6
Financial District-Battery Park City
On Peck Slip, Super Smash Burgers runs a tight menu of seared patties, loaded fries, and shakes from a compact counter-service space. It’s a newer entrant that locals are starting to discover for heavier, sauce-forward burgers and late-evening hours.

What makes it special: A focused smash-burger shop with heavy-topped patties and loaded fries.
Who should go: Burger fans wanting saucy, filling smash burgers near the Seaport.
When to visit: Evenings before concert or pier events, when lines stay manageable.
What to order: Smash Cheeseburger, Bacon Smash Cheeseburger, shared Super Fries.
Insider tip: Pair a basic burger with Super Fries rather than overloading both if you want balance.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Peck Slip and nearby blocks is limited; meter spots open up more after 7pm. Nearest garages sit within a 5–10 minute walk by Front St and Pearl St.
Dress code: Very casual—tees, hoodies, and sneakers are standard for counter service.
Noise level: Moderate—order-counter bustle and takeout traffic, but holding a conversation is easy.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on event traffic at the Seaport or Pier 17.
Weekday lunch: Typically little to no wait—orders move quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—fries, shakes, and occasional veggie sides; no true veggie patty noted.
Vegan options: Very limited—fries may be viable, but burgers rely on dairy/egg components.
Gluten-free options: Minimal—no confirmed gluten-free buns; fries may be an option if oil is dedicated, but confirmation is recommended.
Best For
Better for: Heavier, saucy smash burgers and loaded fry plates at a lower price point than nearby chef-driven options.
Skip if: If you want a spacious dine-in room, alcohol service, or vegetarian/vegan depth, alternatives in the Seaport fit better.
