| - For me, Smashburger has really gone downhill in the last few years. 3 years ago I would have ranked it in my Top 3 of burger joints - really tasty burgers, fries and shakes at a semi-reasonable price. Then something happened - ownership change? corporate mandates? whatever it was, Smashburger changed almost overnight. 2 years ago we had a horrible experience at the Baseline location. A year ago another horrible experience at the Alma School location. Thinking this new location on Elliot might be different, I went again today. I got their new Sin City Burger, Sweet Potato Fries and Salted Caramel Shake all to go. The service was decent, the cashier was quick and efficient but not friendly at all. I got my food quick and drove home. While the sweet potato fries were pretty crisp and not very greasy, the burger was the exact opposite. It was soggy, greasy and super salty. I guess that's what I get for ordering a burger with a fried egg in it but I was not expecting the sogginess or the saltyness. Then came the shake, which I did not think you could ruin. It was good until I hit the bottom and found a couple of...not sure what they were, globs of something at the bottom that tasted bitter. I immediately spit it out and was done. I had a coupon so it wasn't that bad of a price, but the food was not great. I'd take The Habit or Five Guys over Smashburger now. Oh well, live and learn.
