| - Good burgers, even better grilled chicken burgers! Portion could be larger, as I can easily finish two plus a salad and a malt shake. Pricier than most other burger joints, but the taste is better too. Tables are usually clean, but the seats are not always wiped down. That's the quick 15 second elevator ride summary.
And now the verbose version :p
So, Groupon offered a burger promo a few months back to a few burger joints around Vegas. Smashburger was one of the options, and I selected the Lake Mead location because I have never been to this location before.
It is located in a popular strip mall plaza (Dolphin Court Day Spa, Grape Street, Starbuck, DQ, Walgreen, and a Red Box) and gets plenty of traffic. But on a chilly Thursday evening in November, I did not have to wait at all to place my order nor have trouble finding a booth to sit down and enjoy the Chocolate Malt Shake and Grilled Chicken Avocado Club plus a side order of Smashwedge salad.
Their Grilled Chickens are always nice and juicy, and what you end up ordering will be up to your personal preference or your mood. I went with the Avocado Club option, and it was delicious.
The Side of Smashwedge Salad was pretty good, but you have to really love blue cheese and blue cheese dressing.
Their milkshakes and malts are all very good. Today I went with the Chocolate Malt, and it was as delicious as always.
Only gripe about dining at Smashburger is that the burgers and chicken sandwiches are not at all a big hearty sandwich, and a growing teenager or someone with a healthy appetite can easily put away two of them. Which means taking out a family of four here can easily put a small dent in a parent's wallet.
Service was good, and my order was placed without any issues.
Location: SW. Near the 95 and Summerlin Parkway..
Taste: 4/5 I like the food I have had at Smashburger overall, except I am not a fan of their "onion rings". All their milkshakes and malts are excellent!
Price: 3/5 A tad pricier compared to their peers.
Quality: 5/5 Everything appears to be made from fresh ingredients.
Parking: 3/5 In a busy plaza with plentiful parking spaces, although not all of them are right outside the front of the restaurant.
