Smith Burger Company - Champaign, Illinois

Burgers are soo good. So fresh and doesn't taste like a frozen patty. The buns are toasted perfectly. A bit pricey but worth it. I'd come back to try another one. The Cajun fries and sauce are really great.

🍺🍔 This place is crowded for a reason! Part bar (with MANY good beers on draft $5+), part burger joint, Smith Burger/Collective Pour is a hit!! Metered parking out front. 🏆 Trivia Tuesdays starts at 7, but get here early cuz tables will be gone!! ✅♿️ wheelchair accessible entrance but mostly high top and bar tables. And it is very loud with low lighting (best lighting is at the bar).

You order on the side of the restaurant (paper menus are up at the register— ⚠️ MGMT please add menus at the door for easier access) so stand in line and be ready to order when it’s your turn. Then find yourself a seat (which can be hard).

I was recommended this restaurant by several friends of mine, and I finally made the time to check it out. I was very impressed by the atmosphere of the restaurant as well as the quality of the food. This restaurant is a must-try stop that anyone who calls themselves a fan of burgers simply cannot miss. The friendliness of the staff is great too and I will definitely bring friends and family here in the future.

This past Monday my partner and I decided to check out Smith Burger for the first time. Looking over the menu everything sounded so good! A lady was sitting next to where I was looking at the menu and she introduced herself as the owners mother. I asked her what she really loved to get as I couldn’t make my mind up, and she said she is on their salad kick currently. So I ordered the grilled chicken Cobb salad. My partner got the mushroom Swiss burger. We ordered and were given a pager that went off when our food was done. We both were shocked by how quickly our food was made! No joke, less than 10 min and it arrived! PERFECT for our lunch break! I was taken aback by seriously how beautiful my salad was presented. Not only did it look beautiful it tasted even better! It’s a very large salad and I couldn’t finish it all. It was so good! My partners Swiss and mushroom burgers was also very good. (He reluctantly let me have a single bite!LOL!). Because of how delicious and quick our lunch was I came back the very next day and ordered the all American and the cheese curds to go. I went at 1230pm-prime lunch hour and was amazed that I had my food ready to go in about 5 min! I got back to work within 10min of leaving for lunch and I shared half my burger and cheese curds with my coworker. We BOTH LOVED it and it filled us both up. I will absolutely be making Smith Burger Company a regular lunch spot! 10/10 recommend! Fast, delicious and affordable-can’t beat that!

While searching for the best burger spot in Champaign-Urbana, I came across Smith Burger Company, which had the highest ratings—and I’m so glad I did! I ordered takeout, and the burgers were not only carefully prepared but also incredibly delicious. The freshness and flavor of the meat truly stood out. After this experience, I think this place will become one of my go-to spots. Highly recommended!

Smith Burger Co. catered a coaches clinic at U of I. I was working at the facility where the clinic was and was told I was welcome to grab a burger. WHOOOAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS is what a burger should taste (and look) like. Perfectly cooked and seasoned/seared. The Cajun fries were perfect too! If you're going to go into the food truck/restaurant business, learn from Smith Burger Co. on how to do it right. If you're going to go out for a burger in the Champaign-Urbana area, you're going to be so glad you chose Smith Burger Co. as your option. The gentlemen working the food truck were also genuinely kind and engaging, and that makes everything even better. As I'm coming to the end of this review, I'm realizing I probably should have included a photo of my meal. At this point there's not enough of the burger and fries left to post a photo of though 🙂 Matthew 7:12

I went here for the first time on Thursday, and have already been back for more! Their food is delicious and very fair priced. I love their honey sriracha and buffalo wings, as well as their burgers. I highly recommend, they have food for everyone! My friend loved their black bean tacos and mac and cheese.

July 19, 2024 - Smith Burger Company was a fun and unique place for dinner and drinks. The food was excellent from appetizers to main menu choices. The staff was friendly and helpful. The environment was crowded, noisy and upbeat. Smith Burger Company provided an interesting twist on what makes a great burger joint.
