Smashburger

I had the Twin Cities burger, it was very good. Big and juicy with a lot of flavor I would definitely go back. A step above fast food.

Watched the guy spill a shake all over himself turn when I received my $ 4.69 shake it was half full… wtf

OI ordered a chicken sandwich and got the thinnest and smallest piece of chicken I’ve ever seen. They definitely «smashed» it. I asked the staff if that was normal and they said. Honestly it was the worst chicken sandwich I’ve ever seen and a complete rip-​off. I wont ever be going back.

Here like all three smashburgers I have been to the place was clean and pretty well organised. The food is expensive for fast food but the smash fries are yummy and the mushroom and swiss burger cant be beat.
Eat here! you will be broke but happy.

Very simple I always get the mushroom truffle burger just live it! Yum fries. great service!

Walked in to pick up a online order and was ignored for 8 min or more without even an acknowledgement that I was waiting. The guy on the register was busy but the woman making shakes could have at least could have made eye contact and say will be right with you. Very poor customer service.

Smashburger is a great fast casual place to grab a quick burger. I went to Smashburger quick over lunch for the first time. I had the avocado ranch burger. It had bacon, lettuce, ranch, and avocado on it. It was a good burger for «fast» food! I also split the sweet potato fries with my friend and they were amazing.
I really like that Smashburger allows you to get creative with your burger rather than just serving plain burgers. If you are still hungry, they have milkshakes!

First smash burger I’ve ever been to & have to say it’s my new favorite burger place. I had the bacon smash burger & my husband had the mushroom & Swiss. Both were amazing!
Kids had the kids chicken strips & a harvest salad with grilled chicken. I snagged a piece of the chicken strips & they were possibly the best chicken strip ever. Daughter loved the salad, it was bigger than her head.
I loved the onion haystacks, my favorite type of onion ring, but if you are looking for a big fat onion ring, they won’t do. Now the smash burger fries I wasn’t so keen on. They were OK & I think would be much better if we had a chicken sandwich, just didn’t pair well with a hamburger.
Overall, great food, very friendly staff-​was impressed. They need bigger to go boxes though. I will definitely be visiting a Smashburger when I’m near one again!

It’m my family’s new favorite burger joint. Extra credit for having gluten-​free buns available, so I can actually eat there like a «normal person.»

Great food, fast service, nice people and clean. What more can you ask for. Keep up the great work smashers.

There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with Smashburger its just there isn’t necessarily anything spectacular either. I’ve been here a handful of times and tried several of their burgers, all the types of fries and nothing really stands out for me. It is certainly better than typical fast food burgers but in my opinion Smashburger does not compare favorably to say a Five Guys or any mom/​pop diner in the area. I don’t care for the prices either i just feel like what I pay for doesn’t satisfy me.
One thing I did like, actually two things:
1. They used to have a buy 1 get 1 free coupon at the nearby Rainbow foods, now its a Cub and I dunno if the coupon is still out there.
2. Service and problem resolution are very good. Never had a bad experience with any employees, they are always courteous and not crabby and if a problem does arise the manager quickly fixes it.
I gave this joint 5+ tries to wow and capture me as a loyal customer but meh they just didn’t so I stopped going.

I am dangerously addicted to this place. The twin cities burger is perfect. I’ve gone in intending to order other items, but I always end up with the twin cities, because other than victory 44’s ‘perfect burger’ this is the best burger in the metro area. Friendly staff are handing out coupons for free sides this week, so I’ll probably head back tomorrow

Smashburger first caught my eye because the logo looks suspiciously like that used by GameStop, a chain of video game stores. They employ the same fonts and color schemes, as well as the smash-​two-​words-​together approach.
Fortunately, I didn’t wander into the wrong place the first time I tried Smashburger. I tried the jalapeño burger with grilled chicken and a gluten-​free bun, buffalo fries and a beverage. Word to the wise: Smashburger apparently doesn’t do combo meals, and if you don’t want to drop $ 2 on a fountain drink, say «no» when asked if you want a drink. I was surprised that the cost of my meal had risen by about 20 percent once the price of the drink was taken into account.
The sandwich was a pleasant surprise. The pepperjack cheese and jalapenos gave it a good kick, which was balanced well by the avocado topping’s creamy semi-​sweetness. The gluten-​free bun tasted the same as a «normal» bun, and it’s worth noting that there are other bun options, including an egg bun.
The fries were a disappointment. I’d expected them to be thicker, and the buffalo spice was too salty and abundant. I’d expected them to be seasoned with buffalo sauce. The ranch dressing helped balance their flavor, but it didn’t fix the problem.
Will I return to Smashburger? Yes, but next time I’ll choose a different side and skip the soda. And I might dine in rather than get take-​out, as the seating area is fairly upscale for a fast-​food restaurant.

Very frustrating. Orders are often wrong. Now I’m out $ 5 and my daughter is hungary.

Good burger. awful service. Line out the door and only one register going. Pathetic for lunch. Lazy manager

Smashburger great food good selection w beer
Great chicken club w mashfries &a porter what a combo

I always enjoy a good burger and usually don’t have Smashburger in my consideration set, but after discovering the Truffle Mushroom Swiss burger last week I’ve been back twice (which says a lot for me). It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite burgers, although Gordon Ramsey might cringe at the truffle oil. But I love the mushrooms and melty goodness of Swiss cheese with a hint of truffle. Also can’t have a burger without the smashfries (it can be a little oily though).

Smashburger is a great restaurant falling in between the fast food burger chains like Burger King and Culvers and sit-​down restaurants like Red Robin and Applebees, etc. on the burger spectrum.
My «likes» —
–Several fry options! I looooove Smashburger fries, they are thin and crispy and oh-​so-​good. I have tried the regular fries and their smashburger fries– both are fantastic. I love that they also offer sweet potato fries too!
–Online ordering option. In a hurry? Use online ordering before you go! I’m glad I used it last time I was there– I got to bypass a line of about 7 people and pick up my meal right away! Winning!
–Great flavors and different bun options. Everything tastes and looks very fresh!
–Their patio is dog friendly! I make a point to patronize any restaurant that allows dogs in their outside seating area. It’s a small outdoor area, but my pups appreciated being included!
My «dislikes» —
–I ordered the Baja Chicken sandwich and fries and I was very surprised how greasy it was. Kind of gross seeing all of the grease on the table when I was cleaning up!
Overall, a delicious burger joint and I will definitely go back!

I must begin this review my speaking about the staff. Unfortunately, the young lady who took our order made it very clear that she wasn’t happy about something. Since we’d never seen her before, we were sure that it couldn’t have been us.
Now, the food here is ok. Not even remarkably ok… just ok. If I’d been stuck at a hospital unable to eat flavorful food, then I’d probably love these burgers and fries.
I got the Twin Cities burger, my hubby the one that has Chipotle mayo and guacamole. This burger was way too wet and squishy. He had a hard time keeping everything inside it. My burger was alright. It was actually cooked well, which I appreciated. Son had the kids’ burger, which he promptly covered with ketchup. Not he liked his burger.
Now, the fries. We got the smash fries, which are supposed to have rosemary. They had a «hint» of rosemary. I was hoping that they’d be a little like the wonderful rosemary fries from Salut. No, I wasn’t looking for something of that caliber, but decent would have been great. Well, the fries weren’t even warm. I could have had that from a certain golden arches location instead of here. We don’t eat fries much, so they MUST be worth it for us to eat more than a few.
We came here because we had a deal. Based on the service and the food, we’ve no reason to return. We’re going to try a place closer to home. Hopefully, the review following that visit will be more joyfully written.

I’ve never been disappointed at this place. The staff is super friendly, polite and accommodating.
The burgers are really tasty and reasonably priced for what they are.
I’m in love with the barbeque bacon cheddar smash. It’s… delicious, but not quite as good as what I slapped together one day.
Okay. Picture this:
An egg bun, lettuce, bacon, red onion, barbeque sauce, pickles, pepper jack and love. Order it. Everything but your thighs will thank you.
I love that this place serves beer, as well. There’s something about a burger and a beer that you absolutely cannot beat. They also have a small little outdoor dining area for the one month it’s warm here in Minnesota.
I’ve gotten several of my friends hooked on this place in the last few months.
It’s nice to actually be able to get a burger and taste how fresh the meat is… you can absolutely tell from the first bite that it’s not just some crappy preformed patty.
And ultimately, I’d rather pay 8 – 9 dollars for a ‘combo’ (burger and side) here than I would somewhere terrible like the golden arches any day.
Eat here. You won’t be disappointed.
You may fall into a meat coma… but you won’t be disappointed.
