| - Today was my first time at Smashburger and although I liked the burger, I was not blown away and I didn't love the fries.
I had a BBQ cheeseburger (minus cheese) on a chipotle bun. There was tasty BBQ sauce, crisp pickles and I barely detected the onion strings (I think that's what they're called). The beef was cooked well, juicy without being greasy and had a good taste. I also enjoyed the bun which tasted fresh and had a slight spice to it.
I enjoyed the burger, but I think I will try a different type, perhaps the classic one in an attempt to truly appreciate their burger prowess.
I saw that the fries are of the shoestring persuasion, which I generally pass on, so I got the spicy fries which are dry dusted with Frank's Red Hot spice. This definitely added flavor, but did not make me love shoestring fries. They were however crispy and plentiful.
In summary, I will return and I can appreciate why everyone loves Smashburger, but I will need to return and try a few more items.
Also note, I came at 6 PM on a weekday and they were very busy. However I only had a short wait. The staff was very friendly too.
