Smashburger is a fun fresh restaurant that's popping up in random cities across America. Unfortunately, there's none within a 30-mile radius of my location, so I have to travel a ways to get my hands on the deliciousness. Fear not, like all great loves, this restaurant is worth going the distance for.
So, this weekend, I trekked across our fair state to
For those of you unlucky enough to have never been here before, let me break it down for you:
The menu is divided into smashburgers, smashchicken, salads, hot dogs, and sides. If you're going for a burger, you can choose a preset recipe or a build-your-own option. They also come in three different sizes - small, regular, and large.
You walk up to the counter, joyously place your order, and, of course, add on a side of smashfries. Then they hand you a number and bring it to your table.

I opted for the build-your-own smashburger option - it's only $4.29 for a regular-sized burger, and most basic toppings and sauces are free.
When the burger tray arrives at your table, you'll be in awe of its beauty.
Fresh beef 'smashed' together with my generous plethora of toppings - pickles, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, and smashsauce - all held together by a buttery egg bun.
Let me warn you - they're generous with the toppings here. Which means your hands will likely be covered in whatever sauce you put on your burger after the third bite. Dress appropriately, or wear a bib.
And don't let me forget the olive oil and rosemary french fries that I'm so giddy about.
Simply delicious.
The boyfriend opted for a more tame burger than mine - cheese, ketchup, mustard, and smashsauce.
Is it just me, or does it look like he got more fries than me??
Perhaps I just ate mine too quickly to tell.
If you're looking for a smashburger in your area, they have a great directory here.

Oh don't worry, I'll definitely be back! It's my favorite burger joint in kzoo!
DeleteI think Smashburger sets apart from other burger joints with their build-your-own option. The fact that you can control whatever toppings and sauces you want on the burger gives a different spin in eating a burger. And of course, I like that they have a warm and accommodating staff that makes you feel welcome. Makes you feel also that you want to come back for more Smashburger!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! Plus, everything comes quick and tastes fresh - I hate it when I get a limp piece of lettuce on my burger, but everything Smashburger serves me is crisp and crunch!
