Brought friends from out of town here and they were blown away! They loved for fresh the burgers tasted and how good they felt after!! Typically people think burgers are more of a heavier meal but everyone felt so great afterwards! Very fresh ingredients and it showed. Exceptional service as well and this time we ate outside in the patio which was nice. Only thing was that there were a lot of flies back there so maybe that's something to improve upon/ try to maintain read more

Never felt this good about a burger before. Everything about it is absolutely healthy. The wait was 15 minutes long but it's worth it for all the reasons below Read the store description. It's healthy and organic, and you get exactly what you expected. This burger was flavorful and the bun was made in-house, and you could see them cooking the meat straight from raw. Same taste as fast food burger but my stomach felt so good after, not bloated or feeling sick from sodium/chemicals The only con is that the store's burgers obviously werent made for show, but that doesnt matter. You know something is healthy for you when it looks a little shabby and home-made. I also wish the store was a little bit bigger with more tables and seatings, but it's just your average hole in the wall shop. It's to be expected in such a dilapitated area -- a hidden gem thats good for your stomach read more

Farm To Smash - The Garlic Mushroom - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

A very unique location off Rose and E Valley Parkway. Almost like a hole in the wall (well, it kind of is) with authentic smashed burgers. A counter for eating (and an outside patio) you can watch the action in the kitchen. It does get pretty warm. Burger flavor are balanced and charred perfectly. Potato fries fried in beef tallow don't quite get the crispy skin. The toppings are good though. The original sauce is delicious. I used the Self Order Kiosk which is easy to use. Very simple setup where you grab your own utensils. They call your name to pickup your order. Menu has suggested styled smashed burgers, however, you can also create your own style. Good combinations. read more

Been to Farm to Smash multiple times since they opened. They are still a good quality but I would say they were much better when they first opened. As time has gone on, I feel like there consistency is hit or miss. Giving them 3 stars feels harsh so I will leave it at 4. Out of 10 I would say they are a 7/10. When the quality is high it is delicious. It's just at times the meat can taste under seasoned. Fries portion aren't always the same. Significantly different amount of fries at times. Also, it doesn't retain heat all that well. Best eaten there when it comes out fresh. Still a good to great place. I would recommend trying them. Outside of the food, the service is always really friendly. The vibes always hit. It is a bit small inside so it can get a bit crowded when they're busy. The patio that opened up is a great addition to the place. When the weather is nice, it's very relaxing to eat your burger out there. Added bonus that they have a hand wash station. You'll be thankful for it after your hands get dirty from all the juices from the burgers. One added note, the patties can be pretty thin, even for a smash burger. I would recommend getting at least a double. One patty feels like you're eating buns with a side of meat. read more

First time here with a buddy of mine. My first time having a smash burger to honest. Walked in greeted with a smile and a young lady ready to take my order. I advised this was first time, she told me everything is good so take your time. I decided on the Rodeo(double) added grilled onions and a regular fries. My buddy got a regular smash burger and regular fries. The venue is quaint burger spot, no frills, clean, counter seating and two tables outside. My buddy and I sat outside. Our food was delivered in about 10 min. I hadn't eaten all day so I was starving. Well the burger took me out. I was able to finish 98% of the burger and 3/4 of the fries before I tapped out. Definitely hit the spot before my drive back to the San Fernando Valley. Definitely deserves a repeat visit!!! Didn't disappoint. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Farm to Smash was okay overall. The burger was really thin and smashed down, and the flavor was pretty basic. The fries weren't anything special either. Not a bad spot, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

I was so disappointed. The burger was not smashed no lacing or anything...NOTHING like the pictures, my large fry was a small fry put in a large fry container. The burger was tasteless, I added bacon and couldn't taste it all, I literally thought to myself "Did they soak the bacon in water?" and they gave me one slice for 2 dollars extra. I also bought a shake with strawberry puree, the ice cream used in the shake was not sweet AT ALL and the puree was sour, they did not add any agave or honey to it. Literally the only thing good was the sauces I bought on the side. This was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a long time... 40 dollars for WHAT. I really had high hopes for this place read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Farm To Smash - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

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. read more

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! read more

Farm To Smash - BYO Double - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

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! read more

Farm To Smash - Smash burger original and large fries. - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

Went here, cause I was recommended by my neighbor. The location is in a Very unassuming strip mall area of Escondido. Not really much room to eat inside the restaurant, but there is a patio on the left side of the building however, it is extremely sunny and not great for rainy days if that occurs. You order at the counter and you wait to pick it up and bring it to your own table yourself basically like In-N-Out but with a a lot higher price tag. My husband and I ordered the chipotle burger and a burger with the garlic aïoli, chipotle fries, chocolate shake, and strawberry lemonade. First off the chipotle fries with bacon is incredible. I didn't expect much from it, but actually, it was the favorite. The chipotle burger was good, but the garlic aïoli was very strong raw garlic flavor which if you're not a fan of you may not like. Overall, the burger was great, but without the extra garlic aïoli sauce that I got on the side, it would've been pretty dry honestly. The chocolate shake was good, but it took them a long time to make it because they make it from scratch you could say with a malt machine. I would personally skip on the strawberry lemonade next time, though it wasn't really that good. Not sure if I would really come back, but it is a solid Smash burger spot. It honestly is the one of the top places in San Diego for Smashburgers in my opinion. read more

Yumm is an understatement! Tried this place after girlie recommended and mannnn the menu hits HARD! I went with a double after being told the single was a little lean... but the single would have been perfect. The garlic fries --- kicking! My breath smelled like it too. I love their organic drink options, and the decor was quaint and cute. You can see them work in the kitchen through a side glass window while waiting. It was nice to see their farm to smash concept. read more

Ultra thin patties and fries weren't good. I didn't feel good after. Everything was very heavy dispute being cooked with 'healthy fats'. Won't go back. Space is crowded and hot. And food wouldn't 'take away' well. It would be a soggy mess by the time you got home. read more

Hot take incoming- I'm not a big fan of smashburgers. I know, I said it. They're fine, but not the way I prefer to eat a burger. I will take a thick, medium rare juicy burger over a thin crunchy-edge multiple patty burger any day. Farm to Smash was good, don't get me wrong. The quality of the meat was good, and it was rich enough that I ate half and took the rest with me to eat another time. I can see why you would really like it, if that's your style of burger. Staff was friendly and helpful, and there's a small outdoor patio next to it, that gives the majority of the seating. It's one of the micro restaurants that are in this corner of the home-grown shopping center. Lots of choices to appease your hunger. read more

Farm to Smash is very good. Of all the burger spots I've been to around San Diego, it ranks pretty high. And while my own experience here didn't match the heights of some other reviewers I've seen, I do want to come back and eat again, try their other offerings and see if any minor issues I had were one offs. I had The Rodeo, their version of a bacon cheeseburger. The patty itself was flavorful, well seasoned, but I did not get as much crispiness as I had expected from the smash. It was still juicy and good, just missing the chewy edges to the meat. And while the bacon and pickles gave it a great amount of heft, the sauce heightening the flavor with a good amount of sweet and a bit of tang, I felt that overall, it needed a bit more to put it over the top. A very good burger, just not brilliant. My son had the Flamin' Smash, which he was able to polish off about half of before the heat became too much. Talking as someone who can handle a good amount of heat, it was very tolerable, but even I could feel it by the end as I finished it. Still, my primary issue with this burger were the jalapeño; cut and served raw, they were a bit bitter. I think they would have been better if they were either pickled or fried. He also had a Chocolate Shake, which I'm sure he wished he had saved more of before his burger hit the table. And between us, we split a small serving of the Loaded Fries. The fries themselves were delicious, crispy and salty, with a great underlying flavor from the tallow. However, they were absolutely drenched in the Original Sauce we ordered them in. Where it should have been a healthy drizzle on top, it was instead a goopy puddle that completely dominated every bite of our side. And it was a bit overpowering. Again, Farm to Smash is very good. They've got great flavors, seem to have a nice range of ingredients, and have a good technique to their cooking. I'm just personally not a huge fan of the combinations I've tried. If and when I come back out here, I would think/suggest that one should order a plain cheeseburger with a side of their sauce to appreciate their beef and cooking. And then chase it up with a BYO Bacon Cheeseburger with the full lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, and a light smear of the original sauce. Do that, and I'm pretty sure anyone would walk away a very happy diner. read more

Cute little burger shop on the east side of town. Love the menu options and the patio area that's set up for outdoor dining. My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner as we were told how good this place was by several friends. Service was great, all the employees we spoke with were helpful in advising recommendations for burgers. We ordered a couple burgers, garlic fries to share and a lemonade. The burgers were good, juicy with crispy edges true to a smash burger style burger. The lemonade was so good, probably one of our favs we have ever had. We were disappointed with the garlic fries. While we love garlic, our fries were so soggy and saturated in oil. I feel like getting regular fries would have been better as the soggy fries kind of affected how I felt about the meal overall. I would definitely look to come back in the future and try another fry option to hopefully change how I felt about our first experience there. read more

Holy crap!!! This place was to die for. First time here, I snagged the rodeo burger. And my mouth completely melted with the awesome taste of this burger. If I had to rate this burger out of a 10, it's an easy 11. Succulent to every bite. Made to order, juicy and absolutely delicious. They have hand crafted lemonade drinks which were super tasty. Please try this burger!!!! The staff were super nice and good on recommendations, the ambiance is similar to a fast food place, small indoor seating and a large outdoor side seating area with shade canopies. Not the best, but it's extra seating. Don't take the appearance of this place for granted. The burgers are where it's at! read more

Trying to call in order. The computer doesn't help you like a real person. Just going to in and out, where I can talk to a person

I finally got to try this smash burger place in the area! I was looking through Yelp & noticed that there's many different burger places in Escondido, which is awesome. What sets Farm to Smash apart from other burger places is their seed oil free promise, house-made avocado oil, and premium blend of chuck roll and brisket ground daily in the kitchen. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small so it only has some booth-style seating along the wall and we must've came around lunch time because there were no seats available. We just decided to take it to-go, so with that I ordered the Double Patty Garlic Mushroom burger and my husband ordered the Double Patty Flamin' Smash with large loaded fries to share (we chose chipotle as the sauce). Service was quick & easy and the gentleman helping us was really patient with it being our first time. I'm a huuuuge fan of the Garlic Mushroom burger and the loaded fries! The garlic spread was super yummy and kind of reminded me of a tzatziki sauce for burgers. The burger patty was perfectly cooked and I loved the juiciness of it. My husband liked his too, but really liked the Garlic Mushroom burger the best. I have no words to describe how much I loved the loaded fries. You can really tell the difference that they cooked the potatoes in beef tallow. I would come back here again & again and put this burger joint in my rotation of cheat days with my husband. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're ever in North County! read more

We came here to try the healthy burgers and I do taste the difference. It's not super greesey like most burgers and they use healthy ingredients. We got a flaming' smash to share. It came with Fresh jalapeños, pickles, American cheese, and chipotle spread. The fresh jalapeños were not too spicy. It was perfect for me. We also got the loaded fries! It was Topped with cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and your choice of house-made spread. I think we got the garlic spread or original. That was pretty tasty and filling. The service was good and the restaurant was a bit small. So there wasn't a lot of seating. Just a bar and some stools. I'd come back again if I'm in the area. read more

We were excited to finally check out this burger joint . We were gonna be driving past Escondido , so we coordinated lunch here . My rodeo smash burger was hands down five out of five stars. It's a top tier cheeseburger . Their ingredients are all very fresh , flavorful and the perfect amount . We tried the garlic fries and the portion is very big, Which is great . However, we did not finish them because of the overwhelming amount of raw garlic put on them . I think we were expecting roasted garlic, maybe some Parmesan cheese. That's my bad because it does not say Parmesan cheese in the menu. I would not buy these ever again. It was overwhelming and we had to throw them away. Also, their drinks selection was a little disappointing. I wish they had fountain soda . But maybe that's just me. read more

I wanted to try this place because it doesn't use seed oils, instead it uses beef tallow for everything. Burgers was very solid, the fries are done more towards the crispy side if thats your preferences. Got two lemonade and they were pretty solid and fresh. Food is pick up and then ya can take it to go or eat outside. There aren't a lot of space inside but they have an outside area just 2 doors down for an outside eating area.
