Popular burger shop in New Jersey goes viral and opens second location

It's another deep dive into the world of TikTok, but this time I found a hidden gem in New Jersey that's just taking off in the world of social media.

I came across a video by the account @KingSchratz, who travels around the state finding good food to review. The video has been online since March and now has more than 460,000 views.

At the request of his followers, King Schratz visited a hidden gem called Slap Burger in Paterson.

He said the line was long out the door (in the rain), the prices were affordable and the customer service was excellent.

Slap Burger is known for its slap or smash burgers with lots of cheese, grilled onions and slap sauce.

Of course I had to see what this place was all about.

The owners opened Slap Burger less than a year ago and it's already so popular that they were able to open a second location on July 19th.

They are now open in Clifton, NJ at 1348 Clifton Ave.

Not only do they have some of the best smash burgers, but they also offer spicy chicken fries and sandwiches as well as homemade banana pudding.

Now that Smash Burger has become my TikTok algorithm, I'm seeing more and more videos of Slap Burger and how popular it has become in such a short time.

Check out some of their videos and dishes HERE.
