"It's been a while since I've had Smashburger and I'm finally getting around to reviewing it, but I remember my experience. \n\nI 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. \n\nNext, 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.\n\nTheir 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. \n\nI 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"^^ .
