Zeke Smash

615 S 17th St Ste B, Wilmington, NC

Opened late 2025 with reviewers calling it the best smashburger they've had; a share of profits goes to childhood cancer charities.

    Bun was great, soft and delicious. Burger was good and good seasoning. The jalapeños were fresh and great. For a smash burger this was great and not too greasy. I don’t like greasy burgers and this was perfect. Came out fast too. I would definitely come back. $16 for burger and fries not a bad deal.
