When we sat down at our booth to wait for our Smashburgers, I started reading the other Yelp reviews and then I got a little worried. They are pretty mixed, so I didn't know what to expect! I read one review that said the burgers were tiny and pancake like. Another said they were covered in salt! Both good reasons to be disappointed with a burger.
Our food came & I was pleasantly surprised to see a good-sized burger (according to my standards anyway) and fries plopped down before my hungry face. First of all, they got my order right which always seems to be hard to do for most restaurants. (I swear I'm not that asshole who sends everything back.) I waited for my husband to take a bite. He made that sound - you know the one. The 'ohyeah,ivebeenwaitingforaburgerlikethis' sound. & then I was relieved.
My burger was pretty good. The best burger I've ever had? No but still good nonetheless. I tend to like my burgers well done, so it was a little undercooked for my liking but I'm still alive, so a little bit of pink didn't kill me (that's what she said? ... Too far?). I do think they should start asking customers their preference before cooking or just cook them through all the way. The fries were good too! My only complaint is that they are pretty pricey. They are to directly compete with the Home Runs & 5 Guys of the World & definitely compare but I can cook a burger just as good at home. Drop the price down to the $6-$7 range & I would be back a lot!
