People talk this place up a lot. In fact so much that I decided I had to take my wife on a crazy road trip just to try it out. Perhaps my perspective on the food here is a little skewed just because I had some crazy expectations.
The food was really just okay. I don't know how to put this but it tasted like a competent Wendy's. You know that Wendy's that is by every college campus? Where it's staffed by sixteen year old potheads and they could care less? The food at Smashburger is more like the food at the Wendy's by the lifestyle center where the soccer moms take their kids.
Yes I meant what I said. Their burgers taste like a decently made Wendy's burger. Deal with it. Their fries are also completely average and if you're competing for the same tier as Five Guys I don't know what to say.
