We had just finished volunteering at Feed My Starving Children and it was about 8:00 in the evening so we decided to stop here for a quick dinner in the area.
My boyfriend had never had Smashburger before and I had it once probably 2 years ago. I went with the truffle mushroom swiss burger with fried chicken instead of hamburger meat. My boyfriend went with the classic and we also shared some of their smash fries.
There's an In-N-Out down the street but we wanted to give this place a try. There was one other customer in there when we arrived and the place was quiet. The guy working there wasn't all that friendly or lively so this probably isn't a job he really enjoys.
The chicken patty used for my sandwich was pretty good but it's essentially a tasty chicken tender. It was kinda messy and I think it's due to possible truffle oil? The Smash fries were nothing special - it's supposedly tossed in olive oil, rosemary and garlic and I didn't taste anything. It could be that I burned my tongue when I bit into the chicken sandwich... or it could be that these smash fries were just plain fries with some dired rosemary sprinkled on top. I probably will never know.
I asked my boyfriend how he liked his burger - he said it was just okay. I felt bad that I pointed this place out that night and ended up with a mediocre meal. We probably won't be back at another location and definitely not this one since we live a bit away.
