Smashburger

Definitely a great burger, and I certainly consider myself a burger aficionado! We had a gift card and wanted to give it a try… Fast casual burgers…
First impression was, «I’m eating in a strip mall off of Colorado Blvd?», but that feeling dissipated quickly; nice warm entrance from the cold outdoors, low-​ish and intimate lighting, rather clean, and was very busy (which was in and of itself quite reassuring.) We were greeted authentically with a nice big smile and proceeded to order, and while ordering, other staff felt free to make fun recommendations. Menu had a nice array of healthy options, including «veggie frites» — green beans and carrots in long shapes like fries!
While waiting for the food, there was plenty of marketing/​décor around the restaurant to learn what «Smashburger» is all about… biggest thing is the great info about the beef itself.
Food arrived, wasn’t as ordered, but the server was VERY apologetic… I didn’t take a picture of our food because neither were truly photo-​ready, AT ALL… but both tasted amazing and that’s what packs them in… not about presentation, certainly! I would recommend, however, that they work on this, as other fast-​casual places are much better at presentation… HOPDODDY at Union Station is a great example. My mushroom, swiss, truffle oil burger was delicious, but it looked flat, colorless, not appealing at all… but tasted amazing!
Loved that patrons cleaned up after themselves and helped staff with table turnover — people could tell the staff needed a little help…
Perhaps i’ll come back when it’s warmer to check out that patio with a beer (nice that they serve beer, further differentiation from fast food)
Cheers!

Great price for a fresh burger. So many choices of topings! The classic burger has great flavor and a great tangy sauce on it. The fries are skinny and come with seasoning if so desired. Right across the street from the hospital makes it a great location to get in and out for lunch quickly.
Even better if you walk as parking is limited due to construction

Beyond the food being epically delicious (fried pickles, bacon cheeseburger, Oreo shake) the customer service was fantastic.
We spilled a drink and three people came out to help clean it up in record time and replaced some ruined food without even flinching. Super nice people who seem to enjoy their jobs.

I am having Smashburger withdrawals and the pain is excruciating! I was in Denver three weeks ago. After I checked into my hotel, a friend picked me up and asked what I wanted for dinner. Burgers are my weakness so he took me to Smashburger. OMG!!! I order the regular with a side of haystack onion rings. I thought I died and was sitting in heaven with one of the best burgers I ever ate!!!
The place was bright and comfortable, the folks very friendly and the food incredible. Don’t miss a chance to frequent this establishment. You will not regret it. I was only in town four days and three of them, I ate at three different Smashburger locations. All of them were incredible!
Now, I’m plotting another «business trip» to Denver just so I can eat another Smashburger…

just your normal smashburger here, nothing special about it.
The food was great, don’t get me wrong, I love smashburger. there is just nothing significant that sets this apart from the others. it looks like they’re building a landing for the tram here so this place should get a lot busier here in the next year or two. smart location, smashburger.
It looked to be minimal staffing here, a total of 3 maybe 4 workers. the dine area was a bit dirty, saw a half eaten but sitting on the floor, not sure how long it had been there but no big deal.
Overall good experience, we accidently came here for opening day a few months ago, didn’t even know it was like that but we were planning on a different restaurant in the same area and decided to come here instead. Service was quick, workers were polite. I didn’t get jalapenos on my burger like I asked but that was a minor thing.

Prefect burger and fries (shoe string). I have been here twice. Tried the smash fries and bacon cheeseburger. Yum. Burger is a little salty but everything is delicious. I also tried a malt, salted caramel twice shake. The staff at this location is very nice and food is hot and delicious.

The burger was awesome! I had the Colorado burger! I usually take pictures of my food but never had a chance because after the first bite I kept on eating! It is a great place. I checked in and got some free fries! If we are ever back in that area we will come back!

Awesome as usual! This spot has limited parking, so be aware of that. Make sure you do your Unilocal check in so that you get a coupon for a discount or free fries! Our meal came out pretty quickly for how busy they were, a nice surprise.

This was my first time here and i have high expectations when it comes to my food so here goes. We are in Colorado for vacation. Decided to stop here for dinner and i had the Spicy Jalapeño Baja burger and smash fries. The burger was really good. Loved the meat. But was not spicy. Had to add Cholula sauce. But i like spicy. Also had fried pickles which were good and also fried chilli peppers. I was surprised that the fried peppers were really good. I would totally come back here on my next trip to Colorado.

I love the fact that they offer gluten free buns. The food is usually really good, but once the meat and fries were really salty. When ordering a bacon burger, I’ve learned that if you don’t specify you want lettuce and tomato they just give you a bare hamburger. I thought that was odd.

I have been excited to write this review! This smash burger rocks. So besides the delicious food, this review is specifically in regards to their customer service.
One of my best friends works at Children’s Hospital. He had a root canal so I wanted to bring him a milkshake to make his day better. Unfortunately I couldn’t get off work so I just thought I would do a shot in the dark and see if there was any way Smash Burger would go above and beyond. I talked with the manager Cherl who was so kind and she ended up running a shake over across the street to my friend. Obviously they don’t normally do delivery, but this was a special occasion and showed how dedicated they are to their customers.
It made my friend’s whole day. He was so happy. Thank you Smash Burger for going above and beyond!

My guilty pleasure. A little more expensive than normal fast food, but way more tasty!
I recommend the southwestern burger w/​avocado & jalapeño. Also, you can’t come here and not get the fries (made with olive oil & rosemary). If you haven’t tried out smash burger yet, definitely give it a shot!

Oh Smashburger, we have to talk.
I’d never been before, my guy and I decided against our better judgment of our usual whichwich. We like to try new things!
I’m veggie so… okay black bean burger, I can dig it.
Nope. Ok so the smash part, I guess I get it but the portion of my pattie that was within the bread… was about a quarter of an inch while the rest of it that fell around the outside of the bun was probably an inch. It fell apart, everywhere. I cant even say that it was grilled… it was the oddest pastey texture. I also added blue cheese, I think I saw a crumble in there somewhere… maybe.
Also, I have to order fries separately? My boyfriend got a chicken sandwich and we shared an order of fries. 18 bucks??? Should have gone to red robin, better quality food, same price and unlimited fries.
BUT I will say that the ladies working up front were on point, handling the rush with smiles and ease. Also the only reason I’m giving 2 stars. But no, never again SmashBurger.

I wanted a amazing burger that would offer great taste at a reasonable price. Smashburger had 5 star customer service. The food is made to order and delivered to your table. The seasoned fries (smashfries)were a hit! They are seasoned with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. Honestly, i liked the smashfries more than the club chicken sandwich i ordered. The black bean burger was cooked to perfection. The chicken sandwhich was full of favor. The restaurant was clean and orderly. The atmosphere was relaxing. The staff was attentive

I decided to get a bacon smashburger with a few changes/​additions and I can almost assuredly say that people must not be tweaking the items past the base description. To begin, I came in with about an hour left to be open and I was immediately greeted by a very warm and inviting staff! They didn’t even have to fake a laugh at my terrible sense of humor! The burger was made correctly and tasted great; not much more else to say there! I will definitely keep this is my go-​to smashburger for future times

I have been a fan of Smashburger since they opened one in Boulder. I heard from another Unilocaler friend (thanks Samantha) that there was now one near the hospital complex in Aurora and needing a few dinner options this week, I tried it.
It is small and quiet at dinner compared to Boulder, which can be a mobbed at this time. But the food was fresh and quick and the staff incredibly friendly and I heard that lunch and shift change times are their «rush» hours. I would absolutely eat here again when in the area.
As with other eateries in this strip, easy to park, not so easy to access with the ongoing road construction.

Just moved to Aurora and the cable installer recommended Smash. So, I gave it a shot. I love a good burger and this was terrific! I was surprised I liked the fries; I usually like thicker cuts, but everything was great and it wasn’t overpriced.

Oh my royal burger goodness I am in delish heaven!!! First time here and came due to my fellow Unilocaler reviews. I’m so glad I did. This is the very best fast food burger I’ve ever had. Super juicy, meaty, yummy goodness with fresh avocado, crisp lettuce, tomato and a soft fresh bundy bun bun. It made me do a happy dance for days. I dunno about the other stores but this one… this one rocks my rolls.
One complaint, the cashier didn’t honor the Unilocal coupon. Minus one star but we will be back.

This burger was okay but I’ve definitely had better burgers. My Colorado chicken burger was $ 7.50 and the cheese was inconsistent and dropping all over the place (not in a good way). It was pretty oily and wet which made my lettuce limp. The chicken costs more than getting their beef. I’ll stick with beef next time if I try it again.
It’s clean inside and workers were friendly. The burger bun has a nice texture (not too soft and not dry) but I couldn’t get over how messy and unappealing the burger was. I’m not sure if the juices are from the green chile or the cheese. The chilis had a subtle kick. The burger was slightly salty for my taste.

I’ve enjoyed a few more burgers at this location since my last review. Each time the tables and floors have been spotless, the customer service has been wonderful, and the food– perfectly cooked. 13 700 E Colfax Smashburger… your employees are doing a great job !!!
