Zeke Smash — Restaurant in Wilmington

Zeke Smash is in the same building as Tide's tap room. Parked in their small parking lot. Plenty of high chairs and indoor tables.

There's a QR code on the tables (currently on Tide's) to scan for the menu. The bar at Tide's has a hard copy of the menu so I placed my order there. Chatted with the nice Tide's tapper room's owner, who is the brother of Zeke Smash's owner.

Ate a double smash beef burger with everything except jalapeños, a side of large hand cut fries, and a brookie (brownie and cookie, made in-house). (Veggie burger is not made in-house). I liked everything except the brookie and maybe that's because the date on the brookie said 11/2. Assuming that's the date it was made, that means it was five days old. Maybe it was an error and they missed that.

The burger at $12 is a little pricey, but, it was very filling and part of the sale goes to childhood cancer charities, so I can't complain. The burger was on a regular soft bun like the simple ones from the store. If it is a to-go order, better eat it quick before it gets too soggy, unless you ask for the condiments on the side. The burger meat was seasoned very nicely, which was the best part of the burger.

Fries were slightly crispy, good flavor with just salt and pepper. The large portion would be a perfect size for two adults and two small children.

Zeke Smash is hands-down one of the best smash burger spots I’ve ever been to. The burgers are perfectly crispy on the edges, super juicy, and packed with flavor. The whole place has a great vibe.

What really sets Zeke Smash apart, though, is their heart. Knowing that they donate money to help kids with leukemia makes every visit feel even more meaningful. It’s amazing to see a local business serve incredible food and give back to the community in such an important way.

If you haven’t tried Zeke Smash yet, you’re missing out—both on an amazing meal and supporting a place that truly makes a difference. Highly...

Have been waiting for Zeeks to open since Tides opened in March. It did not disappoint! It was the first weekend they were open and it was slammed busy with cargo fest patrons. The food came out hot and delicious! The burger was out of this world! My wife had the veggie blackbean burger and LOVED it. Now to the fries… hand cut and flavorful but the real star is the cheese curds. I will be getting these every single time!!! As a southerner I had never had them before. Now… I will always have them. Highly recommend! Plus. You can watch ANY game you want. Best sports bar now has...
