"Wish I took a picture of it. But I ordered the Double Bacon Smash Burger that was THE best burger I have ever had. Honestly. And I don't normally like "house sauce" but kept theirs how it was and was greatly satisfied. Will definitely be back. Fries were nice and crunchy through the whole meal."

"Such a great experience at 80 Twenty Smash Burgers! The burger was absolutely delicious. Since it’s a smash burger, the meat is nice and thin, which made it so much easier to enjoy a double without feeling overwhelmed. The burger was cheesy enough to satisfy any true cheese lover, and the meat itself was seasoned perfectly. You can really taste the flavor in every bite. We also asked for extra crispy fries, and that’s exactly what we go, so good! If you like a little spice, don’t be afraid to ask for their grilled jalapeños. They add the perfect little kick and take the burger to the next level. Be sure to go support this awesome local business, you won’t regret it!"

"Tried the backyard burger keto-style with a lettuce wrap and it was honestly really good. If you’re trying to stay focused on your diet but still want something that tastes great, this is a solid option. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and super satisfying even without the bun. Easily one of the best burger spots in the RGV."

"First time eating here…father son…we like trying burger places…80-20 smashburgers did not disappoint. My 17 yr old son had the patty melt and literally said it was the best patty melt he had had. I had the bacon double burger and it was excellent; burgers came with fries which were fresh and crispy. Son also had a strawberry shake with was fresh and delicious. We spent $43 for 2…a little on the pricey side but the burgers were great! We ate at the venue and the vibe was pretty cool…sports on 1 channel combined with fun cumbia music and some karaoke. Place hadtons of options of food trucks…if you like smashburgers give the is place a shot."
