My second time trying Smashburger. I've had it once before a few years ago (embarrassing) in Long Island. Forgot what I got that time but got a New Yorker for take out to eat at work.
I haven't had a good burger in what seemed like ages. The burger really hit the spot! The only complaint is that it wasn't salted evenly. Some bites would be a bit bland while others were salty. Other than that, I really liked the soft brioche bun and the sauce. Will definitely try out more burgers on days I feel like splurging on calories.
I'm surprised by the several negative reviews for Smashburger. I've been here numerous times and never had an issue; the only thing I can say that's negative is that they mixed up my shake once but quickly brought out the correct order. Everything I have ordered here has been excellent, quickly-made and delicious. Don't believe the naysayers.
Nice! (I would've normally tried to find a way to incorporate the word "smash" into the first sentence, but so many do it, I don't need to).
Came here for the very first time to see what the fuss was about. With Central Avenue 5 Guys being the pits and BGR taking a nosedive, I was desperate for a new and somewhat local place to get a decent burger without going to the diner. Well this is now my new "go to" burger place.
We came a little before noon and it was quite empty. It's very spacious inside, clean with a pretty cool decor, but we wanted take out. I ordered my usual bacon cheeseburger with fries. After waiting for a period of time, I was good to go. I skipped drinks, so not sure the offerings on that end.
The burger was pretty good. The fries were pretty unique. Not sure what the flavor is from, but they were much skinnier than the average fries and were a pleasant surprise.
The cashier was just fine with me. I see what the other reviews have said, but I had no issues – but I was also one of the first people of the day, so who knows.
Located in a busy strip mall plaza – it's one of the only places to eat inside that plaza unless you want to take your chances at Pizza Hut or that Panera Bread (no thanks). Plenty of parking, but some of the people who come into the lot shouldn't have a license and nor can they park to save their own lives. Borders ritzy Scarsdale, so you have the wealthy 'better than thou' types who also come into the lot and well, you know how that goes. Not Smashburgers fault, but it's not one of my favorite lots.
So if you want a pretty good burger that hits the spot, this is a good place to go.
I really enjoy Smash Burger. Their burgers are good, their fries are definitely worth trying and it is very filling. Their milkshakes are bomb. So damn good. The chocolate and strawberry shakes are so delicious. Everyone is very friendly. It is fast food, but its definitely a step above a Mcdonalds or Burger King type of joint. They even come serve your food at your table. Very good burgers. I come every once and awhile. Their shakes alone are just so good – similar to Johnny Rocket.
I'm a fan of Smashburger. After a day of shopping on Central Ave, I needed sustenance. So into Smashburger I went.
I was fairly quiet & I had only ever been to one other Smashburger before, so I needed a moment with the menu. The cashier was very nice.
Ultimately, I ordered "The New Yorker" (see nifty picture with description) and a shake. You take a number & go to any table you want. Food came out pretty quickly.
Burger was YUM. Fries are thin but delish. And with your milkshake they bring you the metal thing so you can get EVERY. LAST. DROP (see picture). Yay.
Why did they lose a star? Well – while the staff was friendly with their interactions with customers, when they spoke to each other it was like they forgot they were at work. Language & subject matter was NOT pretty. Two of the workers kept yelling to each other across the restaurant.
Other than that, great.
2 orders in front of me and I waited 10 minutes to order. There was 1 girl behind the register who had to take orders, make shakes, bring food out to customers and bag the to go stuff. That's really not fair to her.
I placed an order for a Sin City Burger, which is a special that is going on, fries and a fountain soda. The burger was really delicious. Bacon, egg and American cheese with frizzled onions. It was juicy, a good size and filling. The fries were ehhhh. I'm not a big fan of shoestring fries. They were nice and golden, but not great. The soda tasted like the machine needs a cleaning.
They have quite a few options available as to burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. I'm just pretty sure this isn't a place I'd seek out. I just can't see myself saying that I need a Smashburger. I kind of see it as another Five Guys clone, without peanuts everywhere.
Smashburger is one of the better fast food burger joints. It kinda felt like a diner. But anyway, I got the BBQ, bacon cheddar burger. It's a nice medium size burger. I liked it, it was juicy and had flavor. The smashfries were alright. I don't really like how thin they're cut, other than that, they were normal. I also got an oreo shake, which was very large that has haagen dazs ice cream and oreos for like $4-something. I think it's a good deal. And very filling even shared with a friend.
I guess my only reason why this isn't 5 stars is cause it's just another burger place. I will come here because there aren't many options in this plaza. If you've never been, it's something to try.
I like getting the spicy jalapeno baja burger (the chicken version of this burger isn't bad either). I also love their smash fries, which is tossed in garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. It tends to feel a bit oily after you've eaten an order, but nevertheless still yummy! After you order, you get a number. You're allowed to grab a seat and the staff will bring your burger to where you are siting (no tip included).
But the staff is a bit…eh. Every time I went, the person taking my order is either really slow and unenthusiastic or they're in a big rush (for what?) and talk really fast and slurred. Also, when they bring your order to your table, it's very unwelcoming. Just last week, a waitress bumped into my boyfriend while putting his order on the table. The oil from the french fries got on his dress shirt and she didn't even look back nor did she say sorry. At least the burger was good.
