| - In my travel group, there seems to be 3 types of people: the gamblers, the shoppers, and the eaters. .. Guess which category I belong to?
When I dropped off my mom and auntie at the Las Vegas South Outlet, I was overwhelmed with lunch options. There is a long line of eateries parallel to the outlet. Smashburger seemed the most interesting of the bunch, so that's where this adventure started.
The front door is wide open with the air conditioner on. Lighting is on the subdued side with windows only at the front. The convenient restroom is along the wall on the left. Seating is on lower tables with bench sofas or high tables with bar stools. Service was adequate and satisfactory. Parking is free and there are even reserved stalls for Smashburger!
I started with the Classic Smash - the original with cheese, onion, tomato, pickles, lettuce, Smash sauce and ketchup on an egg bun. The onion and pickles were flavorful enough so I didn't taste the special sauce. Overall, the burger seemed average, and I really appreciated the toasted bun.
Next, I had the Signature "Sin City" burger with fried egg, special sauce, grilled onions, haystack onions, cheese and Applewood smoked bacon. As good as it sounds, it was a bit rich so I wasn't able to finish it.
Many people may be wondering why it's called "smash" burger. ..it's because the patty is smashed on the grill when it's being cooked to sear the outside and seal the juices in. It apparently works because the patty was moist!
I had a good experience and I wouldn't mind returning and having an Avocado Club burger or Truffle Mushroom Swiss. Create your own burger is another option. ... or should I go shopping? Hahaha!
