Smashburger opened recently by my house and being such an in-n-out addict (see in-n-out review) I thought I might as well start reviewing other burger joints. This particular joint is located in a uber modern strip mally thing on College and University I had never seen. I had to park across the street, down a side street, but its all good, it's so nice out. The joint is a minimalistic, classic burger joint style with modern flair. The menu is done up with many yummy, suped up fast food items like smashfries, which are gourmet-ish with rosemary, olive oil, and garlic. They have haystack onions and veggie frites for you health conscious fatties out there. They also have dogs and salads(?). Of course the real star is the plethora of burgers and toppings. They have a 1/3, 1/2 and chicken option for each burger and basic cheese and bacon and mushroom types. they also have a make your own with some good toppings, sauces, and buns. What's real fun is the menu for each state its in. I suppose they each have their own "special" burger. We, obviously, have an Arizona burger, which I *obviously* got, to go. (The Iowa burger on the website looks damn good too) The to-go box is so flippin cute! It's a lil chinese lookin take out box, specially made to fit my lil burger in. When I got home, I opened the lil package and saw a cute lil package of yumminess inside. The burger looked beautiful. the lettuce was springy, tomatoes were passable, jalapenos very fresh and spicy. red onions were my only complaint. There were a few all stacked up in the corner a'la how Mcd's does their pickles. The burger itself was very tasty, they must put special seasons in their meat, very nice. The bun was chipotle, pretty good. Overall, a very good, spicy burger that fits the Arizona name well. I will be back, those Haagen-Dazs shakes have my name all over em! (In n Out is still better tho, sry)
