| - It's been a while since I've had Smashburger and I'm finally getting around to reviewing it, but I remember my experience.
I think if their whole concept and even store name revolves around the word "Smash", they should design their store to reflect that. SHOW US THE SMASHING!!! Five Guys & In-N-Out, who I would place together in the same category as Smashburger, both have exposed kitchens showing us how clean and freshly prepared their food is.
Next, their burgers are really really greasy. I think the best beef to fat ratio for a patty is 80/20. I don't know what their ratios are, but just because they use 100% Angus beef, it shouldn't equate to more grease. It should equate to more flavor. And their 'highest-quality-cheeses" wasn't anything special. And I really really tasted. I really did.
Their rosemary/olive oil fries adds another couple of bucks to your meal, which is north of 10$ dollars for a meal. They're not as good as they sound. Next time, I'll stick with the regular fries.
I will go back to try again, but so far, Smashburger is just 2 1/2 stars in my book. The rounding-up because I'm just nice. :D
