Smash burgers are more than a trend — they’re a flavor revolution. The cooking method creates crispy edges, a juicy interior, and a caramelized crust that elevates every bite. At Burger In The Square, we’ve perfected the technique. From the classic bacon cheeseburger to bold creations like the El Habanero, each burger is made fresh to order with quality ingredients and authentic sizzle. With our specialty sauces, fresh toppings, and signature buns, it’s no wonder Roanoke locals keep coming back. Whether you’re a burger purist or an adventurous eater, the smash burger experience here delivers bold, unforgettable flavor.
