| - Smashburger serves up some juicy burgers and tasty fries, but the availability of much better burgers makes Smashburger a place not worth visiting.
FOOD
Smashburger features the standard option of several burgers, the ability to custom make burgers, fries, and shakes. There are also several side and appetizer options. The food tastes good, but the menu is completely uninspiring. The pre-designed burgers are nothing special, just the standard varieties that you've seen just about everywhere else. The toppings for custom-made burgers are nothing out of the ordinary either. C'mon, people, offer something unique. Give me a reason to come here instead of other burger places.
I will give Smashburger kudos for their buns, which are slightly chewy and much better than the dry mess most places use, but, please, offer some unique toppings, a rotating "burger of the day", some unique or rotating sides, etc. When choosing a burger place to go to, there are just too many other choices to warrant a repeat visit to Smashburger.
PRICE
I absolutely cannot stand burger places that feature everything a la carte. Fries and a drink should always come with a burger. I just do not understand how $15 for a burger meal is acceptable.
SERVICE
You place your order and pay at the counter, they bring the burger to you, and you're responsible for refilling your own drink. Not much to say here.
Overall, Smashburger is "just another burger chain". It is much better than the fast food alternatives, but in a crowded field of local burger eateries, many of whom offer very unique burgers priced accordingly, Smashburger just does not stand out and offers no reason to visit.
