Finally tried Smashburger. Things I enjoyed -
1. Smash Fries
2. Sweet Potato Fries
3. The Smash Sauce on my juicy burger
4. The Bun - can I get an EGG BUN?! Heck yes!
Things I less than enjoyed
1. The lacy burger patty - meaning, a patty thin enough that you can see though it in parts
2. TBH- the price to value comparison
3. The large-ish dying bug on the floor next to my table seen after I was done eating
So, in sum, The burger has some good things going for it - it's got FLAVOR- but I guess I'm not sold on the whole experience.
