| - Well I just had to make a special trip out to the Valley's first Smashburger. I love a good burger and while nothing really competes with the Fez Burger, this place will be making a run for the top spot.
Walking in, this place is pretty nice. The color scheme is a bit of a nod to the traditional diner but without all of the red leather bar stools and diamondplate. That's a good thing. The people are very friendly and helpful (plus there were plenty on staff). The menu is available outside (which I like because it helps make the line go a bit quicker) and they have a build-your-own card for your personalized burger creations. In other words, they do everything that the Two Hippes Breakfast Joint doesn't. Pretty sweet.
The food took 3-5minutes or so to come out. We ordered ours To-Go but ended up eating outside. It comes in a nicely packaged, especially if you were going to a picnic or something like that. Nice presentation for to-go.
I ordered the Arizona Smashburger which was pretty much what you would expect it to be (no, not dusty). Semi-ironically, this burger is called the Baja Burger elsewhere but the premise is the same - guacamole, peperjack, chipotle mayo, jalapenos on a chipotle bun. Gotta say, this was actually on the slightly spicy side. A nice change of pace from places that claim to have spicy food but never do.
The burger part of this meal was the best part. Not only was it cooked to a perfect medium (you might want to specify if you like it more done) but it was a big juicy patty. You could tell it had been a ball of meat that had literally been smashed into its current form. Just like I make at home. The burger was a bit on the salty side around the edges. Not sure what that was about but I LIKED IT! Really it was a damn tasty burger.
Finally, we also ordered some "veggie fries" which I sort of expected to be like veggie crisps. They were just fried veggies. Carrots and asparagus cut into little sticks with some salt. It was good & came with some ranch dressing. Simply not what I expected.
The final big plus about this place is its location. Very happy to see a new place by a LRT stop. You can never have too many restaurants by the LRT and having this one so close to the Vet/College stop will be great for football lovers, ASU students, and LRT riders like myself. Well done Smashburger. Bring on the chains.
