Smashburger

This location is my go to Smashburger spot! Yum yum burgers all the time! The only issue I’ve had here was once my fries were soaked in oil and unappetizing.

Below average food, below average service. If they could get my order right, I might feel comfortable giving them 2 stars. I ordered the chicken Spinach & Goat Cheese and got half of the ingredients from this sandwich and half from the Avocado club.
It was supposed to be accompanied with onion, tomato, balsamic, spinach, cucumber, and goat cheese. It actuality it came with one thick wedge of avocado that wasn’t spread evenly across the meat and only covered ¹⁄₆^th of the sandwich, literally a green crunchy tomato (no it was not a cucumber), ranch AND balsamic, and bacon. Missing onion, goat cheese, spinach, and cucumber. Terrible combo and ingredients I despise (bacon & ranch).
On a good note, the whole grain bun was quality and I enjoyed the side of flash fried carrots & green beans.
Honestly McDonald’s can prepare a sandwich better than this.

After a long night of drinking I felt like I needed a hangover cure. I’ve never been to smash burger before so I thought I would try it out since the best hangover food is greasy. This burger was super mediocre and a little over cooked for my taste. The garlic Parmesan fries however were on point! I paid 7.50 for a burger and fries.

We. Love. Smashburger. Being from the East coast, have never heard of it before and decided on a whim to try it. The Oreo birthday cake milkshake alone would make us regulars if we lived here. I think it’s just a special so I’d be sad to see it go.
I ordered the «Create your own» big burger with fries and both were very good. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the burger was kind of greasy which made our bottom bun soggy. I easily got past that though. Also, we like that the food was cooked fresh to order unlike most fast food places. The patty could be seasoned a bit more but isn’t a deal breaker.
We are going again today and I plan on trying one of the speciality burgers. My husband had BBQ sauce on his burger the first time and it was tasty so I may try the BBQ bacon cheeseburger.

Hooooly cow this Smash gives Arapahoe a huge run for it’s money… In fact Arapahoe smash was the first and only SB to which I’d ever been…
So I arrive and Janet took my order, she’s super nice and even helped me out having forgotten my survey receipt! Yay fries.
So anyhow the burgers here were actually more juicy and flavorful than Arapahoe… bigger? Maybe my imagination but daaaayum it was good. And my usual sweet potato fries rocked.
For some reason Ii like this Smash better… maybe it’s because Arapahoe feels like a cave and this one has a ton of natural light and nice engaging employees.

Awesome place. Great burgers, fries, shakes and alll! Burger can be messy at times but it is delicious all of those times! Love the sweet Potatoe fries as well. Shakes sometimes though can be meh, but highly recommend this place to all!

I love Smashburger. Every location has the same menu, and makes pretty darn good burgers and fries.
I usually leave 5 stars for them, but this one came down a notch.
I’ve had a couple… just weird… interactions with employees at this location. Nothing bad, nothing rude at all. Just odd.
One girl found it reasonable to argue with me about the fried egg special for their burgers. She seemed to find it odd that I’d ordered that. She kept asking me why I’d get that, if I knew it was an egg on the burger, if I really wanted it. Yes, I ordered the damn thing.
Another employee, a guy, kept asking us if we were enjoying our meals. Yes. The first time, the second, the third, and the fourth. You don’t need to ask me 4 times if I’m enjoying my meal in the span of less than 15 minutes.
Whatever. Couple employees weirded me out, but I still have eaten here since.

I just love burgers! Online ordering is awesome too and makes things quick, especially with 3 kids in the car that are ‘starving’. Tried the buffalo fries this time. I’m a fan! I love a good kick :)

My husband and I like Smashburger, I mean, what’s not to like? A menu with lots of burger options that taste great.
I wouldn’t normally write a review, but due to disorganization on our part, our payment was, uh, an issue. The employee working when my husband realized our mistake was so nice. Saved him embarrassment (he still felt like a jerk) and a trip back to make good on our full payment. We live between two locations, but we’ll visit this one from now on!
Oh and the burger, fries, and milkshake were very good.

For me? One of the best burgers. When I want a good burger, here’s where I go (& let’s be real, I’m going here WAY MORE often than I’m posting…).

Amazing burgers, one of the best I have ever had. I got a simple bacon cheeseburger ans sweet potato fries. Everything was well cooked and tasted delicious.
I am from CA, first time in Denver and was recommended Smash Burger.
I will come back!

This place gets it. Offer gluten free buns to your patrons.
I also like the fact that I can minimize calories and portion by asking for a single rather than a double.
Staff is warm and welcoming.

Normally, I would rant and rave about smashburger, but today was an exception. This is my first time visiting this new location and while I understand busy times, waiting 27 minutes to get your food is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Never again, will I go there. 1 extra sympathy star because the colorado burger is great.

5 STARS is a hard one for me to give but I’ve been here twice and both times my food has been TOP NOTCH. Both times I ordered the bacon, cheddar burger and got lettuce, tomato and onions on the side cuz I actually love my veggies.
My burger was cooked very nice. Could have been a little more pink in the middle but I didn’t order that so oh well. That doggone meat is so tender. Angus just taste different. At least the texture is. I love that sort of melt-​in-​your-​mouth thing I experience when eating these burgers. I’m glad my mom wasn’t there cuz I would have slapped the **bleep** outta her, LOL! Not really but I felt like that sentence belonged there.
Anyway…The place is always VERY clean which is a major PLUS for me. The young man who has taken our order for both our visits is very respectful and seems to like his job. The lady tidy-​ing up the restaurant is always bizzy and has scooped up by metal basket after I’ve eaten on both of my visits.
I just really don’t have anything bad to report. Because if I did, I would have already written it and that 5 STARS would be a figment of my imagination.
Go here for a good burger and fries.
Side note: They give you enuf fries but they aren’t falling off your plate. If you love fries don’t count on sharing them, have the other person with you get there own. Also, I don’t believe they have Combo meals so fries are extra. We got 2 burgers (1 reg, 1 big size) & 1 fry and it was $ 16 and change.
Eat up Unilocalers!

Smashburger is delicious! If you’re looking for burgers that are juicy, tender and flavorful, you’ve come to the right place. After attending an Elite event at an opening for a new Smashburger in Denver, I knew I couldn’t stay away for long.
The service at the location on S. Colorado was friendly, albeit a little slow (I waited 10 minutes for a carry-​out). The burger I chose was delicious and really hit the spot. The Colorado burger is dressed with pepper jack cheese, jalepenos and chipotle mayo on a Chipotle bun. Delicious!!! I wish there were one a bit closer to me. But then again, that might be bad for my waistline!

SmashBurger is my favorite of the fast food burger joints. They started popping up when I lived in Vegas in 2009ish and I have been a huge fan ever since. I’ve been to a SmashBurger in multiple states and really like how they have regional burgers. Vegas has the SinCity Burger, Utah has the Beehive Burger, and Colorado has the Colorado Burger. The burgers are constantly good from state to state.
My go-​to burger has been the Colorado Burger with a side of fried pickles. Something about the combination seems to hit the spot every time. If I’m feeling a little spicy the spicy baja is tasty too. I’m a fan of jalapenos on burgers, so the spicy baja is in my wheelhouse.
All in all SmashBurger is consistently good and this location is quick, clean and friendly.

I attended a Unilocal Elite event here and had an awesome time. But I wanted to see if the awesomeness continued when visiting on my own, and it sure did.
I have never really traveled past the Colorado Burger. Those green chilies get me every time. But after loving the Truffle Mushroom & Swiss at the event, I decided to risk it all and try something new.
I chose wisely.
The truffle sauce with the mushrooms and swiss was a combination that was meant to be. I already love mushroom and swiss burgers, but this was like getting that crazy star in Mario. The music speeds up and you just go to town. This will now be my go-​to when it comes to shrooms and swiss on a burger.
My only knock is the placement of this location. Getting out onto Hampden is about as fun as a King Soopers parking lot. Scratch that, the KS parking lot is far more enjoyable. The only other option is to travel through a maze of parking lot land and using Holly, which is no fun task either. Fortunately the rest of the experience makes coming here worth-​while. Same great Smashburger executed perfectly, and the staff + management were very friendly.

I have Unilocaled other locations of Smashburger. I have said it before, and will say it once more; I love the Smashburger philosophy. I love the fact that they build burgers for burger enthusiasts — juicy, salty, greasy, drippy, tasty!
For all of you weirdos out there who don’t eat meat, they now offer a 100% Vegan burger as well. I think it’s made from dandelions and air. Who knows. I’ll never try it.
The Colorado burger is probably my favorite, but they do one with jalepenos that is also fantastic.

Let me start by announcing that I really like Smashburger. I have been to the one on Arapahoe many times. Every time I read that this chain is growing quickly, I am not in the least surprised. I was glad to see they opened up this location on Hampden, right off of I-​25. It is a shiny new store, and seems to be the epitome of fast casual dining. The staff here are friendly and nice.
The unique thing about going to Smashburger is that they actually «smash your burger». They dab the 375 degree grill with real butter, put a meatball on it, and use the smashing tool to flatten things out. They sprinkle their secret spice blend (salt, pepper, garlic and more) on top, and then flip it over to finish cooking. According to the burger gurus, this smashing caramelizes the beef, and creates «a sear that locks in the juices as no other cooking method can». I must say, they seem to be doing something right, because this makes for some very tasty burgers.
I have tried pretty much every burger on the menu at Smashburger (COLORADO, BACON CHEESEBURGER, CLASSIC SMASH, BBQ, BACON & CHEDDAR, TRUFFLE MUSHROOM SWISS, SPICY BAJA, and the AVOCADO CLUB) and some of the chicken variants as well. They were uniformly delicious. I even sampled the SPICY VEGGIE BLACK BEAN (although it was not my favorite). I typically do a build my own burger challenge, and I am quite pleased with the results. My typically concoction would start with the Spicy Chipotle bun, to which I would add Ketchup, Smash sauce, Spicy Chipotle sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Red onion, Grilled onions, and Kosher pickles. I might or might not put cheese on this.
Some of you may be thinking, how is this different than Five Guys? Well, let me tell you something. .. Five Guys ONLY OFFERS THAT NASTY POTATO BUN! Their bun is «sweeter» and «damper» than a normal bun. Now, if you are 8 years old and were raised on Wonder Bread, I can understand why you might like this white sponge, but how about giving the consumer a choice? At Smashburger I can choose from buns including: Classic Egg, Multi-​grain, Spicy chipotle, or even Lettuce wrapped. And that alone is reason enough to choose this chain over the competition.

The Employees are definitely great at knowing the menu, when you ask them about a burger and if its Mild Hot or mouth Burningly hot.
This one is new to the area, Clean inside. Spacious booths and tables. Its not Fast food, but its great knowing your burger wasnt sitting under a heatlamp all day.
Went with the Colorado Burger, Medium Well. The Jalapenos were fresh and not overpowering so you could actually taste the burger. My Sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside. The way they should be done.
And they come around with free shake samples. And I like the Disclaimer about Peanut Allergies with the Nutter Butter shake. This will be a nice little shopping center once everything opens.
