  1. Been here twice so far and I definitely would say it's slightly better than 5 guys…although I do love five guys French fries.  The burgers at smashburger are pretty delicious. And they have a wider variety of burgers and toppings to choose from as well as chicken sandwiches, salads , and milkshakes than most burger joints . You could either create your own burger or  choose one of their specialities.

    The first time I went I created my own burger and the second time I went I had the bbq,bacon and cheddar burger (specialty burger) which consisted of bbq sauce cheddar, bacon, haystack onions straws on top of a juicy burger.  Oh and it's served on an egg bun, very soft and fluffy.  The smashfries are garlicky nommssss. Free refills on soft drinks!

  2. Oh Smashburger… It's really a 2 1/2 for me but I'm rounding up.

    So I want to like Smashburger because it sounds cool and the restuarant has a cool vibe and the staff are all friendly and all…. but the food is just NOT good. I always think it'll be better next time and try it again but….time after time it has disappointed me.

    The burgers are just….dry and not juice and the toppings are just…. average. I mean, everything about this place's food is just average or below. It's got a lot of seating and I'm sure it's great for a quick lunch hour run…. but overall, the burgers are just not good and there are just much better burger places in the area to try instead of going to Smashburgers.

  3. This is one of our go-to casual dining options when we dining with our little ones. It is not just a burger joint. They offer chicken sandwiches, dogs, and salads as well. There is something for everyone in my family. However, I usually stick with the New Jersey in either the burger or chicken sandwich version. The blue cheese in it just kicks it up a notch. So flavorful and juicy. My kids LOVE their fries…both the sweet potato and smash fries options. Only negative would be that we sometimes end up waiting quite a bit of time for our food to come out which can mean trouble when are you sitting and waiting with two cranky little kids.

  4. *chicken sandwich with mushrooms (so pleasantly surprised by this chicken sandwich. It was flavorful and juicy; loved the egg bun! I felt like this sandwich was a good portion size. It doesn't leave you very full but it keeps you satisfied)
    *smash fries (rosemary flavored, very thin and crisp; reminds me of Zinburger fries; not my favorite thing but I can dip that into the Smash sauce all day haha)
    *onion rings (blah, shoe string onions with minimal flavor; honestly, I'll take White Castle over this ones); sweet potato fries (honestly, I liked these better than the Smash fries; the sweet potatoes were ripe and tender; would order these again)

    First experience at Smashburger is what I had expected. It's well organized and the service was pretty good. Food was alright but pricey for the amount you get considering it's just burgers and fries. I'd go back to just get a sandwich.

  5. I've been coming to this Smashburger for some time. This Smashburger is quite busy but the team does a good job at clearing tables quickly.

    The options here good. I haven't come across a burger or chicken sandwich I didn't like, except the BBQ which was given me in error. Which brings me to my next point. There have been times I have received the wrong order which is beyond frustrating. So be sure to check your bag before actually leaving this establishment with your take-out.

    Actually, even when you dine-in you might come across a minor but faulty detail like I did at my last visit. Ordered a Smashchicken which on the menu advises that it comes with a multi-grain bun. When I realized my order was made with an egg bun, I decided to tell the manager. He very nice, apologized and even presented me with a voucher for a free entre due to their error which both surprised and delighted me. So glad they possess excellent customer service skills.

    Burgers are flavorful. Chicken is thin and can sometimes be a little bland. The crispy chicken is thicker and juicy. I've enjoyed their kid's meal (chicken fingers) and their milkshakes are always slamming. The only thing I did not enjoy here is their salads. Lack freshness and flavor and its price tag is hefty. I'd avoid the salads.

  6. I don't know why this place has such a low rating. I ended up going with the mushroom and onion burger. The meat is really tender and cooked well. The bun is soft. The service was really quick. Now let's talk about the fries. SO FREAKING GOOD. Really thin and crispy. Easy to stuff in your mouth.

  7. Classic Smash Burger was good.  They keep the place clean and the staff is friendly and courteous.  The decor is nice BUT the tables SUCK!!!  There off balance and rock up & down & side to side.  Not a good experience when 4 of you are trying to eat all at the same time and you spend most your time playing a balancing act.  Please Smash Burger fix your tables.

  8. First time visiting this establishment and although I was confused at first it all worked out LOL.

    So you stand in line, look at the menu and order your meal. So like an upscale fast food restaurant, okay, got it! I ordered the New Jersey burger: applewood smoke bacon, blue cheese, grilled onions, and haystack onions – YES, PLEASE! I was a little disappointed that you can not order how your meat is cooked but I got over it quickly. Ordered some fries and fried pickles as well and must say I was really impressed with the food.  

    Everything came out within minutes and there is a server that that brings your food to the table.  There are only fountain drinks and its self serve so definitely room for free refills.  I really enjoyed the burger it had nice flavor to it and the fried pickles were great and the fries were so delicious.

    Pretty good for a food chain restaurant. I would definitely visit again.
