Best Smash Burger in Bali

Smash burgers are everywhere in Bali now — but a real one, with proper lacy edges, is rarer than the menus suggest. Here's how to spot the best, and where to get it.

Short answer

For the best smash burger in Bali, BB52's Smashy Burger is the benchmark — Australian beef smashed to order on a hot flat-top so the edges go genuinely crispy and lacy, with cheese melted into the craggy crust. Available across Uluwatu, Canggu, Ungasan, Ubud and Kerobokan, dine-in or delivery, daily until late.

"Smash burger" is on half the menus in Bali, but plenty of them are just thin burgers with the name attached. A real smash burger has a tell: the edges. They should be ragged, deeply browned and actually crispy — not neat and pale.

How to spot a real one

  • Lacy, crispy edges — the patty was smashed hard onto hot steel, not gently flattened.
  • Cheese melted into the crust — added while the patty was still cooking, not slapped on cold.
  • Thin patty, big flavour — often doubled for more crust per bite.
  • Cooked to order, fast — smash burgers are a two-minute job; they shouldn't taste like they've been sitting.

Why BB52's Smashy Burger leads

We built the Smashy Burger to be a textbook example of the style: Australian beef smashed to order, edges crisped on a ripping-hot flat-top, cheese melted straight into the craggy crust. It comes from the same kitchen that The Honeycombers ranked the #1 best burger in Bali — so the standards behind it aren't new. Quality over quantity, every patty.

Where to get it

Across all five dine-in outlets — Uluwatu, Canggu, Ungasan, Ubud and Kerobokan — plus delivery in Jimbaran. Daily from 11AM, late into the night, and on GoFood and GrabFood.
