| The [[Locale Tooting|Tooting]] outpost of a small chain of franchise halal burger shops. |
Smacks is a small chain of franchise halal burger shops, a similar chain is Fat Twins. It's popular in multicultural areas and with groups of school children. The thing that sets Smacks above its rivals is that it makes its own burger patties, something [[secretlondon]] can confirm as she's seen their delivery of meat come in. |

It's located in a small shop near [[Tooting Bec station]], and has a "fast food" feel, with only about four tables for eating in. The menu covers burgers, chips, and soft drinks, as one would expect from a burger chain. However, they make the patties in-house; on the window it says that they grind the beef for their burgers every day, and during one of our visits a delivery came in with packaged buns, chips, and the raw meat to be turned into burgers. |

The chain is popular in multicultural areas and with groups of schoolchildren, and is similar to another chain, Fat Twins. As the chain is halal, any burgers with bacon will have turkey bacon. |
The first time I went it was at school leaving time and I'm not sure I'd recommend going there. The food was fine, it was just full of small boys and some were messing about. They do a school child offer which I'm sure is good business. |

On my first visit I had a cheese burger (£2.89), chips, and a drink. The drinks only come in one size, the chips in two (small and large). My burger was nice. The burger patty was uneven and appeared to be hand made. For my second visit I had a Smack Down meal for £8.69. This was two 2oz patties in a bun, and the quality was good. |
