Smashburgers sounds special doesn't it - NOT! My burger-loving buddy was looking forward to a special upscale burger. The only thing upscale was the price - $6.99.
My buddy ordered a Chicago burger with lettuce, tomatoes and fried onion strips. It was a 1/2 lb burger, the only other offering being a 1 lb burger. BTW who wants or needs that much meat? The bun was not big enough for the huge burger and was greasy on the top. Afterwards he said he would have been happy with a Whopper at Burger King.
I had the Chicago hot dog which was just okay. Again the bun was barely big enough for the dog. Haystack fried onions on the side were tasty but greasy.
Soft drinks come in a one size cup, making a couple of refills necessary. Cost was $20 for both of us, overpriced I think.
For a fast-food restaurant it was kind of dark, not much lighting. A greasy, unhealthy meal. Probably won't go back.
