I am a fan of hamburgers and firmly believe that you can't go wrong with anything that has truffle oil in it. I wanted to really like this place b/c I'm always in search for a burger joint, but unfortunately it was just average.
On my visit I tried:
1) Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger ($5.99)
    -delicious, but rather pricey for the size of the burger
2) Spicy Baja Burger ($6.99)
    -the bf got the "big" sized burger and it was literally a bite and a half or so bigger  Â
    than my regular sized burger.
    -this burger I thought lacked flavor. I would have rather gotten a truffle burger at
    larkburger-it would have been worth the price!
3) Smash Fries (~$2?)
    -not very memorable. It was regular fries with olive oil, rosemary, garlic. Not that
    tasty. I prefer the Cajun fries at Five Guys (waaaay better) or the truffle fries at
    Larkburger! Damn, now I want some truffle fries.
So with that said, it was good to try, but I probably won't be back b/c it was rather pricey. Just add $2 or so and you can get a burger twice the size with bottomless fries at Red Robin or you can head to Larkburger and get their truffle fries and truffle burger!!!
Smashburger has a good burger and good selection-- definitely a huge step above places like Burger King and McDonalds. Â But, I don't understand why anyone would chose Smashburger over Five Guys or Larkburger. Â If you want an amazing burger and fries, skip Smashburger and head straight to Five Guys or Larkburger!
Review Source:I though Smashburger was overrated the very first time, but I also checked out a different location.  When this one opened up, I gave it another shot and FELL IN LOVE.  MY GO TO FAST CASUAL BURGER PLACE, which replaced Five Guys as my top choice.  I always get the sweet potato fries.  The oil they toss the fries with can make them soggy, so go lite or  none at all.  The regular burger is filling enough, but if you're super hungry go with the big smash.
I've only got the chicken burger once, and it was the buffalo chicken burger. Â It was nothing to write home about. Â Stick with the beef burgers.
It's awesome they have New Belgium brews here with a pairing menu, which I've used with great success.
You much try their milkshakes at least once in your lifetime. Â It really hit the spot! Â Not too thick that you can't suck through a straw, and not so thin that you're drinking milk.
My favorites are the BBQ burger and the Baja burger. I don't recommend the swiss truffle mayo burger though.
I don't eat a burger often but when that uncontrollable craving takes a hold, Smashburger is my go to spot. Â This time it happened in A-Town, and thank goodness there was a Smashburger nearby. Â I got my usual, the Colorado with a fried egg added, except this time the manager let me get a kids size...now, I don't know what kid could put that burger away because it seemed just as big as the small smashburger. Â It was consistent with other smashburgers. Â The fried green chili's were yummy, but again, a huge serving, way too much. Â My husband tried the fried chicken sandwich. Â It was good. Â The chicken seemed a bit overdone, super crispy, but it wasn't greasy at all. It had a nice peppery flavor. Â
Anyway, the reason I'm only giving 3 stars is because compare to the other 2 Smashburger's I've been too, this one didn't feel as comfortable. Â It almost felt dirty. I didn't like the energy here, and neither did the hubs, so I know I wasn't imaging it. Â There was just something about the restaurant that felt off. Â I think I'll stick to the Flagship in my hood.
This place shares the same parking lot with Hooters on Parker. Â You walk in and there is no menu board on the wall. Â You gotta pick up a paper menu before queuing up. Â Got the Smash Classic and a regular fry for $7.54 (burger was $4.99). Â I thought the patty was a little thin. Â I have no idea the size of the patty, but I'll guess 1/4 lb. Â Fries were good with the rosemary and garlic. Â
The classic: American cheese, ketchup, leaf lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, pickles, and our smash sauce on an egg bun.
I know Smashburger is a chain. I know that. BUT...
Its not only a good chain, its a great chain. The ingredients here are fresh, the burger is meaty and juicy, and there are plenty of different types of burgers.
My wife and I came here on a lark, really. We had to drop off some things at FedEx next door and, well, I was kind of hungry. I went in thinking I'd only get a "snack," but ended up coming out with a whole meal.
But seriously, this burger place tops just but any other chain I've tried. In-n-Out? Smashburger is better. Five Guys? Smashburger is better? Fast food? Not even a chance. I'll level with you, though, the sweet potato fries are king here. They're drizzled in oil and covered in rosemary (or is it sage). It's excellent.
Next time I go, I'm going to give the milkshake a try. They sounded great.
a step above the average burger place its still fast food but not as quick as other fast food places. They have alot of diffrent burgers and hot dogs there you can try. The burger and fries were really good and hell they even serve beer here as well. The only thing they should change is have the menu hanging behind the register. Its to the side of where you order and kinda annoying to keep looking up and deciding but hey thats just me
Review Source:I got the  1/2 pound Colorado burger (6.99) plus sweet potato fries (1.99). It was made to order and awesome. The right amount of heat from the green chiles. Thought about giving 4 stars because it is a little pricey, but that's what it is. They sell 7-dollar burgers and it was big and delicious, so I can't say it's a bad value.
Review Source:This is one of my favorite burger places.
The side dishes, especially the sweet potato smashfries, keep me coming back. The sweet potato fries are covered in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Â I have also enjoyed the Fried Pickles, veggie frites, and haystack onions, all of which were delicious. I still want to try the smash fries, which have the rosemary olive oil concoction.
The Spicy Baja comes with a chipotle bun, chipotle mayo, and fresh jalapenos. I almost wish they had side of chipotle bun, it is so good by itself. The burgers have always been juicy, and go great with the beer or wine you can include with the meal.
I also enjoy the create your own smashburger, where you can specify the bun, cheese, sauce, and toppings. They even have a card where you can check all your favorite options, and hand it to the person at the register. I have built several of my own smashburgers, but they have never been quite as good as their BBQ Bacon & Cheese or Spicy Baja. But it sure is fun to try.
Smashburger? Weird name, but great place to grab a burger . . . a really great burger. This is my second visit to a Smashburger and it was as good or better than the first time. (Some things are just better the second time around.) First time was at the Broadway location for a special event. I was hooked that very night.
This Smashburger location is next to the Kinko's/ Fedex that I patronize on a fairly regular basis. When I first realized there was a Smashburger in this location I was coming out of Kinko's and they were replacing the front door & window. Apparently someone wanted a Smashburger so badly they drove right through the front of the store! Â
I love their burgers, but I am leaving my car in the parking lot, thank you.
Getting ahead at work last night meant I was finally ready to use the whole dinner break, and I figured it was about time I checked out this Smashburger place everybody raves about.
All I can say is...what the hell took me so long?!
I walk in and right away I'm digging the place, very cool "fast casual" style. The girl at the register greeted me immediately with a genuine smile. After I stared at the menu board for a good time, she asked me if it was my first and explained all the burgers and other options for me.
I decided to go for a good ol' 1/3 lb cheeseburger, fries and drink. They have what they call their "smash" fries which are seasoned, but I was in the mood from some classic ones so I went with that.
I sat down and chilled while I was waiting for my food, and actually checked in here. I was already excited to review the place based on the great customer service thus far.
When my burger was ready, they brought it over and double checked what I had, then told me to enjoy.
Taking one bite into that juicy goodnees made me want to hit myself in the head for waiting so long to try it-good lord was it good! Juicy, full of flavor, but at a very reasonable price. The fries were also very very delicious and they didn't seem totally greasy and unhealthy like fast food.
I left Smashburger incredibly full and satisfied and back to work in a good mood because of good food.
I will certainly be going back!
Yeah, the Facebook advertising works. Â Saw it there one afternoon and ended up there that night. Â Love their food. Â Don't eat it often, but it makes it all the better. Â This is a nice, chill location. Â The last time I was at the one on Co Blvd it was crowded, but it hadn't been open long. Â Service was friendly and helpful. Â My kids - teens and tweens love it. Â Much better atmosphere than 5 Guys Burger and Fries and doesn't seem quite such a hard landing off the diet wagon.
Review Source:I dream of Smashburger, probably more often than is heart healthy. Â But how can one resist tasty, juicy burgers, beautifully seasoned fries, and a Haagen Daz vanilla milk shake? Â Not too mention the other possibilities of fried pickles and fried jalapenos!
You're right. Â It is impossible! Â I'll agree with you, dear reader.
I s'pose it doesn't help that they cleverly bombard me with delicious updates on their Facebook often enough to keep the craving gently rumbling.
Damn you, Smashburger. Â I'm hooked!
Ok, so I've been wanting to try Smashburger for quite some time because, as most from California (and from in AZ from where I moved), I'm spoiled by In-N-Out.
I tried Goodtimes a couple of times, and if you must read about my experience about their sharp foil (see review), read away.
So onto Smashburger. I want to say that Smashburger's "catch phrase" if you will- is contradictory and I'll explain that in a minute- but first onto ordering. I just order a classic Smashburger, with fries, and a drink. My order was over 9 bucks....liiiiiiiitle more than I wanted to spend on lunch.
Anyway, I wait and get my burger and fries - and both are delicious, so don't get me wrong. Their fries tossed with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil are soooooo good. I was wondering what this mysterious sauce was on my burger and checked their menu- and apparently its called "smash sauce" (go frickin' figure), which, surprisingly, was the only thing I DIDN'T like about my burger. The meat was good and fresh veggies and such.
So onto the contradiction, I was reading their cup and their "catch phrase" is "smash. sizzle. savor"....or something to that effect. So the Smash is apparently they "smash" the burger while cooking....doesn't everyone and their mom know that smashing a burger will dry it out while cooking? Well, they must not smash very well cause the burger was delicious and moist. Sizzle is something about their service I think??? And savor is something regarding being able to get a burger for a reasonable price.
Well, let me tell you, just the burger alone was 5 bucks. Not cheap. So I might go back to smash burger ....but they need to rethink their burger prices.
Delicious burger. Great burger joint and they serve sweet potato fries, which always cause me to drool. There are regular smash fries made with rosemary, olive oil and garlic. The sweet potato fries are made the same way and are oh-so-tasty. You choose your protein (beef, chicken, or veggie) and your toppings or choose from a pre-made selections. If choosing a burger, you will also select from 1/2 or 1/3 burger size. Â The BBQ Bacon Cheddar burger was delish and topped with onion straws. I will be back!
Review Source:SO apparently Smash Burger is a new rising franchise that I've only heard about recently. It is rather a favorite in CO among many, but to tell you the truth, I saw nothing special about it. The menu is rather limited and the prices are quite high for what it actually is... fast food. My friend ordered a Classic burger with fries, side of chili and a small drink and that came out to be $12? I had a classic Chicken burger and that was $6? I mean... not to say that they don't use quality ingredients, because they do, but at that price I'd rather go to an actual restaurant (i.e. Red Robins) and get my money's worth.
Alright, the interior decor looks nicer than your typical McDonalds and they bring the food to your table. Call me cheap or whatever, but that STILL doesn't justify $12 for a meal at a fast food joint when you can't even call it the best gosh-darned burger you've ever had.
3 stars sounds fair.
Dear Smashburger,
Why was my burger so salty? Why was the bun so distractingly thick and chewy? Why were the haystack onion rings that sounded so crisp and delicious on the menu a mushy-greasy-stringy disaster on my plate? Â Although you may satisfy many others, I guess you're just not for me. Â I'll be at Five Guys.
Love,
Randi
