Honored with the Muvamo Award for Vienna’s best Smashburger – XO Grill elevates the street-food classic with premium local beef, perfect sear, and bold, unmistakable flavor.
XO Grill Neubaugasse: Vienna’s Answer to the Smash Burger Trend
XO Grill Neubaugasse is part of a small, Vienna-based smash burger concept that focuses on flame-grilled burgers made with high-quality ingredients. The brand was developed by a team with experience in gastronomy and hospitality, and its concept reflects a straightforward approach to food: use regional produce, keep the menu focused, and prepare everything fresh to order.
From the beginning, the team placed importance on sourcing Austrian beef, baking buns locally, and preparing sauces and condiments in-house. The open smash-grill setup plays a central role in how the burgers are cooked, creating a noticeable difference in texture and taste compared to standard fast food.
The Neubaugasse location was opened in Vienna’s 7th district, a part of the city known for its creative atmosphere, independent shops, and younger, urban crowd. The area has seen a steady rise in contemporary food spots, and XO Grill fits naturally into that environment. It’s designed for people who are looking for something casual but thoughtfully executed, with a focus on flavor and quality.
Since launching, XO Grill Neubaugasse has become a steady presence in the neighborhood. It attracts a wide mix of regulars – nearby workers on lunch breaks, students from the area, and local residents looking for a quick. The brand has grown steadily, and while it has expanded to other locations in Vienna, the Neubaugasse spot remains one of its most popular due to its central location and high foot traffic.
