  • A nice flavorful spin on an otherwise bombed out and depleted American favorite. A little background on the reviewer: i HATE burgers. Most of the bbqs my group had during my military service days were mostly dominated by frozen pre-made burger patties and bland tasteless buns dominated with ketchup and mustard to offer some taste to the otherwise lame and boring mass produced then frozen and shipped or mass baked and full of preservatives buns. Since these days i have ensured no patties of any type is allowed on my own personal home grill. Every time i crave a burger i strictly stick to my favorite chain: In n Out or Sonics. Smash Burger renews my faith in burgers. Someone dumped a whole bunch of menus on the tables of the little area at the Charleston CSN campus i like to hang out in after class. Out of curiosity i picked one up and browsed. A few types of burgers made my mouth water specifically the Sin City and the Baja as well as their Smash Fries. I informed a buddy of mine and we made it a point to check out. A few days later we barely made it with half an hour before closing time. The first thing that struck me was the price and the size of the portions for 1/3rd lb patty burgers. A single burger in a 1/3rd lb side is roughly the price of a chain's value meal but does not include drink or fries. 'This better be the best damn burger i've ever ate' I thought to myself. The second thing that struck me was the tip jar. There were two twenties, a five and a few tens in there...wow they must be doing SOMETHING right. So we ordered out burgers: One Sin City, One Baja, reg fries, smash fries and two waters. The burgers were Med-Well due to store policy they wouldnt go med-rare but offered med-well. They also cut the burgers in half at our request. The soda fountain was nicely stocked in the fact that they had fresh (not dry but soft and juicy) lemon wedges. Burgers and fries came roughtly 15 minutes later. First impression: Damn i forgot to ask for no onions on the Sin City my bad... Second Impression: Wow this burger is fresh...Very Fresh...OMFG I THINK I'M BURNING MY TONGUE WITH THIS BURGER! SPIT IT OUT! no wait...this is actually pretty good....OH GOD MY TONGUE IS BURNING!! True story i actually burned my tongue on the first bite. The Sin City Burger is something you'd want to eat everyday but dont because you dont want to begin to count the calories. Very flavorful due to the fried eggs and fried onions, the Smash Sauce they use has a nice zing to it as well. VERY impressed even if it did render my taste buds numb for the next few days. The Baja burger was something else entirely. Most 'spicy' burgers (that arent chicken) have such a heat to it that there's no flavor. Others have flavor but just a little hint of heat. the Baja was PERFECTLY BALANCED and was amazing. First bite i could taste the bun and the sauce a few chews later intergrated the juicy beef and between third and fourth the heat began to rise. The second bite reset the whole experience right down to the end. The standard fries were standard fries but the oil they used was changed out recently and it showed int he quality. The smash fries were a bit greasy but had a very nice rosemary essence. In my opinion they were too weak on the garlic and too heavy on the olive oil. Despite the higher price compared to fast food chains my comrade and made several notations to the staff that they'll be seeing us again and more frequently in future. Overall i would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a flavorful burger. In the future i'd like to try the veggie fries and add garlic mushrooms to the Sin City and Baja burgers.
