| - I'm sorry, but I truly feel bad for anyone who ranks Smashburger at the top of their list of burger rankings. Seriously. Send me a message. We'll talk. I want to help you!
Anyway . . .
I first went into a Smashburger several years ago and over time, my opinion of them has dropped considerably. It's not so much that they've changed, it's just that I've learned that better burgers can be found elsewhere - especially when you realize that serving beer at a fast food restaurant isn't quite as "exotic" as it might have been in 2010.
I think the biggest problem with Smashburger is that their burgers are too damned salty. I mean, on a good day, you might be okay, but there have been several instances where the salt overpowers the whole burger entirely! I find this to be unacceptable, especially given their price point. Their signature Smashfries are edible, but nothing really special, in my opinion.
I think if there's one thing Smashburger is good at, it's marketing themselves at a "premium" burger place, despite really being no different than any other corporate fast food joint. Yes, their burgers take significantly longer to make than many similar places, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily any better. I'm sorry, but you can't fool me!
Look hard, my friends. There are better places out there. Much, much better places.
