Honestly one of the best smashburgers I've ever had. I ordered the double burger because of the not-so-secret sauce, it came out fast, was a bit greasy, and the edges were extra crispy - perfection. My friend had the LA burg and said it was super good, he tore it up fast. I went with a group of 8 on a Monday night and not even 10 mins after we got in the door there was a growing line. This place isn't very big but there's lots of cool neon lights and it gives off a "this is the place to be" vibe. The runners did an excellent job bringing food out. Definitely gonna visit again sometime!

Best smash burgers in Phoenix. I am not usually one for fries, as they are usually an afterthought to other menu items, but this place only makes a few things, so their fries have been given equal consideration and are well-seasoned and crisp. Service is counter service for food and separate counter service in the bar for drinks, which were also excellent. Seating is very limited, but the atmosphere matches the food: unpretentious, but excellent.

I had the best burger I've ever had at Bad Jimmy's. WOW. Everything was perfect. I ordered their double burger and added bacon. The soft potato bun that isn't fully cut was amazing. I love the fact that the bun isn't cut all the way through so your burger isn't sliding around. The fries were some of the best I've ever had. Their special sauce added the perfect touch to the burger and fries. I love that they have a puppy patty on their menu. My baby loved the puppy patty. I will be recommending Bad Jimmy's to everyone!

I have heard that Bad Jimmy's makes some of the best burgers in Phoenix and stopped in to try them this past weekend. The restaurant has a very unique vibe. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you but there is also a full bar inside of the restaurant which is a great area to hangout with friends, eat, and listen to music! They do have some outdoor seating as well. The burger was delicious and had super crisp edges to it but held a ton of flavor. They had a great house sauce on the burger paired with onions and lettuce that tied the burger together well. The fries were crispy and to die for, if you're a ranch lover you MUST get the house ranch. One of the better ranch's I've had.

Smash burgers are the rage now and so we had to try them here. So good! I was really impressed and loved the burger. Also got a plain patty for my dog and she was equally as thrilled. The place is small and we were lucky to snag a seat, but worth the wait. Food came out pretty quickly. Great addition to Phoenix's fabulous food scene.

This food was incredible! So simple but soo good! I got the classic burger, or maybe it was the double. But it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The staff were nice and the decor was old school diner themed. The bar area looked really cool, but I didn't have time for drinks.

Hands down the best burger you can get in AZ. I got the Double Burger with Bacon and a side of their fries. The burger is exactly what I want every burger to taste like. It was tasty, juicy, cheesy, and well perfect! I usually don't like bacon on my burgers, but this was the perfect addition. The bacon was crispy, didn't take away from the burger at all, and was not too salty! The fries are waffle cut, but taste like curly fries!! So delicious dipped in their "not so secret sauce". I'm seriously still thinking about this burger and I can't wait to go back! The total for the 2 burgers (both with bacon) and a side of fries was around $40, so kind of expensive. However, 100% worth it to me.

Saw a TikTok about this place and have really been craving a smash-burger. I walked in and it definitely had a cool ambiance with an old diner / burger shop vibe. The menu is basic and the food is fresh! The burger had caramelized onions and I ordered some diced peppers in there! The fries were super fresh and crunchy! The patties are super thin, as a smash burger should be with nice crunchy sides. The staff was friendly and welcoming giving us a run down of the menu! Will definitely recommend!

Finally got to try the famous Bad Jimmy's! I liked how retro and cool they are, lightings and stuff, it was so cool. There weren't many places to sit inside, but there were seatings outside! Ordered double burger with fries, it was good. Patty was so flat and fresh, it was well seasoned and yummy. And the waffle fries were good as well. It was interesting and different, yet yummy :)
