    Beef is freshly ground, not frozen
    Tammy B.

    Superb.! Yum! We have been here many times. From the service to the food everything was wonderful. Oscar is always polite, friendly and helpful. We witnessed him once again guiding new customers. The smash burgers have perfectly crisp edges while maintaining juiciness. Ingredients always taste fresh and the fries cooked in beef tallow are delicious and crispy. Shout out to the cooks and prep workers here. Every time we have been here they are hustling while having great camaraderie amongst the team.

    5.8/10 - Farm to Smash is centered around "clean" ingredients and known for not using any seed oils, and solely using beef tallow. I think the first time we had a Farm to Smash it was pretty good, but the second time we had it it was just OK. Maybe it's because we only got one patty, and Smashburger seem to taste a lot better if you have 2 to 3 patties. Our fries were a bit cold as well. Overall, this place is probably bottom 2 of my ranking of San Diego Smashburgers. The restaurant itself is small with just a counter/bar with the seating being pretty limited, although they did open up a side open patio outside and that was actually kind of nice to enjoy our meal outside.

    I got the BYO single smash burger and the loaded fries! I wasn't able to get a photo of the fries but they were AMAZING! If you are a sauce person like me, I would highly recommend. However, if you don't like sauce that much then I would recommend steering away from it or just getting the sauce on the side. The burger however wasn't outstanding to me. I'm not sure if they forgot to add 2 sauces that I put there because it was a little bland. So I was scooping the sauce off of the fries to put onto the burger. I ordered online so it was very quick and easy. I went to pick it up 15 mins after ordering and they had it ready and waiting for me. Pretty small and chill restaurant, would definitely go again just for the fries.

    Tried a new spot for lunch on the way back home from the Temeculawineries. YUMMY!! Everything is fresh & they only cook with beef tallow. Great service & vibes. #DiningWithTheAndersons #SmashBurgers #YummyGoodness #Escondido

    The original double
    Erick M.

    Must Try DELICIOUS clean burgers. Background: -They ground their grass-fed beef -Use beef tallow -Seed oil free Food -The Original Smash Burger (double). It feels that you're chewing into a soft, flavorful perfectly assembled soft chew cheeseburger. It's DELICIOUS. (5/5) - Fries (Classic): they are cooked in beef tallow but they NEED TO BE CRISPIER IMO, or offer a secret well done option (3/5) -LOADED FRIES ARE DELICIOUS. We got ours without bacon and they were amazing! (5/5) Atmosphere -You order and pick up, you're there for the food not the ambiance. They do have an outside area which is nice Service -They are friendly and help with recommendations. The staff is amazing! Overall -You'll love their burgers (double is suggested) and are clean (fresh ingredients no preservatives). The small sizes are not small and a great value! Their burgers and loaded fires are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    We were in the mood for a tasty burger and something we have not tried before! Farm to Smash was SCRUMPTIOUS! All fresh ingredients. We both got the Rodeo Burger with Bacon and Grilled Onions. My Husband got the regular lemonade and I got the strawberry lemonade. Both were refreshing. We shared large fries and those fries were so good. Cooked in Beef Tallow. There's no combos so everything is A la carte. Farm to Smash is small, but has a nice high top table along the wall where you can enjoy your burger. You can also eat outside out front or on their side patio under the shade. The cashier up front was super helpful on guiding us through the menu and making sure we knew our options. I really enjoyed my lunch there and would definitely recommend checking them out if you haven't done so already.

    Great spot to come to and enjoy a delicious burger and fries. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They have a nice patio area to sit and enjoy the food. One of the best burger I have had in a long time, so worth the drive.

    I ordered The Original (no pickles) with grilled onions and American cheese. The .33 oz patty was super smashed--ultra thin with crispy edges; get a double if you're looking for a filling meal. The bun was suuuuuper soft, probably too soft. The spread tasted ok, but it didn't match burger all that well. Good price point, not-so-great presentation. The front-inside was simple and nice with stools around the walls, but it had some serious ventilation issues, with smoke from the kitchen spreading and lingering. The front door kept blowing open and closed on the windy day i visited. No salt on the very crispy fries, but they provided salt packets. Order at the front and wait for you food to be called.

    After seeing all the social media hype, we finally decided to give this place a try on Father's Day. We ordered The Original (one single and two doubles). The burgers were decent, but we felt they could have used a bit more seasoning. Food was just okay in our opinion, not a bad meal. The shake was the standout item for me. Service was friendly and the outdoor patio was a nice place to sit and enjoy our meal. We can definitely check this one off our list.

    It is self serve restaurant with friendly cashier. It has a shared patio with adjacent restaurants but patio is not clean. HOWEVER, food is definitely delicious, fries are cooked in beef tallow but it was not crispy

    Flamin Smash with double patty
    Alexis P.

    We were in Escondido after a long morning of thrifting and were pretty hungry when we stumbled across this little hole-in-the-wall spot, and it turned out to be one seriously good find. Farm to Smash specializes in smash burgers and fries, and everything is made with a focus on quality. They cook in beef tallow instead of seed oils, use avocado-based mayo and spreads, serve fresh ground beef (we literally saw them grinding it), and even bake their buns fresh. It is definitely on the pricier side, but you can honestly taste the difference in quality. It is a small storefront with a few barstools inside, plus a patio area in the parking lot that is sectioned off with benches, so there is some seating available but it is still very casual. Now to the best part, the food! We started with drinks and got organic agave lemonade, one plain and one strawberry. Both were super refreshing and really good, though we probably should have asked for ice. For food, we ordered two double smash burgers: the Flamin Smash with fresh jalapeños, all-natural American cheese, pickles, and chipotle spread, and the Rodeo with bacon, all-natural American cheese, pickles, and original spread. Both were incredible. The burgers were perfectly cooked smash burgers with that great crispy edge, and the meat tasted extremely fresh with everything cooked just right. The lady at the front was also extremely friendly and kind, and she recommended the double patties as the way to go. Honestly we would have still been very happy and satisfied with a single patty. We also got a small fry and a small loaded fry. The fries are made from fresh potatoes, cut in house daily, and fried in beef tallow, which made them crispy and flavorful. The loaded fries came topped with all-natural American cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and we chose the original spread, and they were just as good as the burgers. The pickles were also amazing, super crisp and flavorful, and we honestly went back to ask for more. I am assuming they are made in house because they stood out that much. The ranch is also housemade, just like their other spreads, and has a dill-forward flavor that makes it stand out from typical ranch. Even though I am not usually a ranch person, this one was next level. I would have absolutely bought a larger container to take home if we were not heading out to continue thrifting. Total came out to about $58 before tip for two lemonades, two double burgers, a small fry, a small loaded fry, and a side of ranch. Overall, this place is a gem. It is not an everyday stop because of the price, but for an occasional post-thrifting treat, it is absolutely worth it. We will definitely be back.

    BYO Double
    Andrea A.

    So let me just say their homemade ranch is PHENOMENAL!! My brother found this spot and I was blown away by that ranch. Im a ranch girlie, and this one has some flavor that makes me soo happy! The burger, not quite sure what they do but it definitely hits the spot. Its not your average fat patty, its thin so I would recommend getting the BYO Double. Personally, because you can never go wrong with the extra meat. I would love if they had the option for avocado because I cant do cheese. Thatd be my one hope that they add. Ive never been inside, so not quite sure how it looks in there. I can say they do have a great turnaround time. My brother and I went to grab some food after a hike and he was in there may e 15 minutes while I waited in the car. So they do work quick and its delicious. The fries are crispy too!

    Garlic Mushroom Burger
    Kristine C.

    I literally just walked out so happy I had to Yelp before the food coma hit! Window sign says it all: Fresh ground beef, fresh baked buns, fresh cut fries cooked in beef tallow, house made sauces, and no seed oils. If you're going to burger and fry it, this is the way! Price is a little up there, but your taste buds will understand why. The beef tallow fries were sooooo good. Crispy edges, fluffy center, ACTUAL potato. The garlic fries had bold fresh garlic and are cooked in avocado oil, but leaned a little soggy. Shockingly, I preferred the classic tallow fries. Husband and I split two doubles. The Garlic Mushroom Burger was juicy, savory, and loaded with mushrooms, pickles, American cheese, and garlic spread. The Flamin Smash had jalapeño, pickles, American cheese, and chipotle spread. Big flavor, gentle kick, & hella satisfying. Washed it all down with the Cucumber Lemonade that's sweetened with agave syrup. Not too sweet! I didn't catch the cashier's name, but he was super friendly and helpful. Cozy, clean spot with a patio on the side for extra seating. Service was crazy fast. This place is a bit far from me and I am already planning the drive back! That's how you know it smash-ed!

It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!

Brgr Shack has almost perfected the smashed burger grilling and I appreciate the unique style of giving you a selection of variations of a the Brgr to choose from. 1) Shack Brgr: very tasty and the grilled onions was a nice addition. The Maillard reaction still produced a very juice Brgr with a soft tasty bun. The juices soaked into the bottom bun making it a soggy mess. A little salty, but, good. 2) Mushroom & Swiss Brgr: wife ordered this, but, got full on the Beef Loaded Fries (more on that later). Yet, she brought it home and reheated in microwave and she loved it!!! The Brgr reheated well. She said it was still juicy and well seasoned. Must have been good because she ate the whole thing!!! 3) Beef Loaded Fries: well, my wife also loved this and ate half at the Shack. The fries are thick chips, topped with crumbled Brgr, grilled onions, cheese and pickles. This was a favorite for us. The meal was good and filling. Something happened with the order and the kitchen didn't get the order slip. Had to go up and asked and the cook profusely apologized for the mixup. He quickly put our order together in a little over 5 minutes and the counter person also apologized for the inconvenience. Brgr Shack comped an order of plain fries which turned out well because we used those chips to scoop the toppings of the Beef Loaded Fries. The fries underneath got soggy quick. And there was no forks to be found. Stars subtracted for lost order and no forks. Will try again of course. The dining room was clean with ample tables and chairs. They have a wall full of studio quality pictures of the menu items. There is lots of parking in an older (the surface of the parking lot were full of cracks and pot holes) strip mall. Definitely a return visit call!!! Returning on a Wednesday to take advantage of the Crazy Cow 50% Discount on 2nd Brgr. Yes!!!

The bacon avocado cheese burger is amazing and it's been my go to for years with the zucchini fries. I've had many zucchini fries from many other restaurants and they by far have the best. The ranch from here is top tier as well, so it makes it all the better. This is where the 3 star review comes in. My family loves to come here after the beach on our way home, as it has become a tradition at this point. Part of this tradition is eating inside because the decor and vibes are awesome. I love movies and so this place has always been a favorite as it comes to the theme. They close at 9:00pm and they won't let you sit inside if it's closed to 8:30pm and sometimes, like tonight we got here before 8:30pm. The young kids they have working here want to get out of work as soon as possible so they start cleaning early and turn away people early so they don't have to stay longer to clean. This is ridiculous, as the closing time is clearly 9. They always seem so annoyed that you even walk inside in the first place, which with a family being told we can't eat here even though it's open is just insulting. Management needs to talk with their employees about this because I'm sure they aren't aware of this and they turn away business. Why wouldn't you want to eat inside at a place like this?
