I like their burgers a lot. To me this restaurant is very similar to five guys. You can specify your burger toppings or choose one of their suggested combinations. I like their smash fries with rosemary but I am not crazy about the "shoestring" cut which is why I would probably choose five guys over smash burger, if given the... More

When we got there, there were no seats available. The place was packed. Good sign.They make really delicious burgers. Ours were moist and flavorful and cooked perfectly, and you can build your own burger if you want to. The toppings were fresh. We'll definitely go back.

Lots of hype and buzz about Smashburger - don't get me wrong ... it's head and shoulders above all of the traditional fast food burger joints - and the extended variety (to include veggie and chicken and salads) makes this a slightly different place - head to head I prefer the Five Guys Burger. Two thumbs up on the fried... More

One of the main draws for me here are the "smash fries", but lets talk about the burgers first. The burgers are "smashed" hence the name so they are pressed down. What this means is you will usually have normal sized flat burger with some thin crispy edges from the smashing. The burgers are always cooked well but can occasionally... More

When you advertise how you "Smash" your burger, don't expect a big, meaty, juicy burger to arrive on your plate. The edges of my burger were crispy, the meat unseasoned and the bread soaked with grease. I think the fries were ok, but had some cold spots in them, but if warm they would have been fine. Nothing really new... More

Yummy angus burgers with creative toppings including avocado,maple smoked bacon, haystack fried onions, and delicious cheeses and breads. I am always happy with my burger! Fries are sometimes a bit salty but I am a fan of the sweet potato smashfries (tossed in olive oil with garlic and rosemary). The issue here is the wait - often it takes ten... More

This is a good burger, the toppings are nice and fresh, and there is a nice variety, guacamole, fresh veggies, chipotle mayo, etc. The burger is high quality, but was cooked more than I like and a bit dry. I understand that burgers need to be cooked to medium or well, but this was more towards well done. The garlic... More

We went to eat here over the weekend. My son wanted to try it out and had heard they had excellent burgers and sides. This place has only been open since early October. We arrived around 7pm and the place was packed. The line extended out the door. Every single booth, tables inside and outdoor patio area were at full... More
