I love a greasy burger joint so I wanted to try Smashburger. I took my order to go. The layout of the store is different than most burger place...a rather minimalist front counter. The service was quick, and I received my food in a reasonble amount of time. It was hot and fresh. I ordered the 1/3 Smashburger with everything and Smashfries. The burger was ok. It was spiced in the same way that Hamburger Works or the Chuckhouse does their burgers. The veggies on the burger were fresh. The bun started to fall apart about the time I finished the burger. overall...it was just ok. It ain't no Lenny Burger. I'd rather go to Fatburger then Smashburger. The fries were crispy and flavored. They were good. When I first saw them I thought the portion was rather small, but when I took it out of the box in which they came, it appeared to be a normal portion.
I won't avoid the place if people want to go there...but I won't make a special trip.
