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

Where the beef??? I don't get the hype. Tiny patties with little flavor. Fry's were cold and small for a large. The pickles were good but that's about it. Is AI bots writing all these reviews. Skip this place for Tanners. read more

Farm To Smash - Smash burger original and large fries. - 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

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

So delicious!! Great fries, burger, shake -- all of it fresh and flavorful. Get the garlic added to the fries.

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

1. Burgers were cold, stale and greasy. 2. Was not busy in the restaurant but somehow waited 25 mins for 2 burgers 3. Burgers had little to no taste and they forgot spread on one of them. 4. Their whole gimmick of being "healthy" is not that appealing either. This place is a skip as there are tons of better burgers in SD read more

Farm To Smash - 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

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

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 - The Original Fries - LRG Fries - SMALL (garlic) MilkShake - Vanilla w/ strawberry puree Lemonade - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

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

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

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

Great, delicious and flavorful food. Amazing customer service, and a small, but inviting restaurant. The fries are the best, cooked in beef tallow. The lemonades are so refreshing and the milkshakes are a perfect sweet treat. Their in-house Tallow cream is also the best. Nicely moisturizes my skin. Perfect for after long days in the sun and everyday use. read more

Farm To Smash - Loaded fries with garlic sauce and the flamin' smash burger which comes - Burgers Near Me - Escondido, California

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've been to Farm to Smash twice now, and both visits were really good! The first time, I ordered the Garlic Mushroom burger, it was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. On my second visit, I built my own burger, which I loved because you can add extra add ons and really customize it to exactly what you're craving. The customer service during ordering was great. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed before we sat down.

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. Parking: Pretty big plaza so no issues read more

Good good burgers. I'm a fan of the Rodeo and the Original. Meat is quite flavorful and the customer service is spot on. I ordered easily on uber eats and had zero issues. The fries are good- not amazing but tasty. I did order some regular fries once and they gave me garlic fries which were VERY garlicky so if you love garlic- order those! The place is quite small, there's some seating inside that is a tall bench type of seating but they opened up a side patio, which is next to the pizza place next door. Sorta weird but still cool n doable. All n all- the price is worth the deliciousness. I'm really glad this is here in Escondido. Yesss to more yummy burgers! I'll get a pic next time! read more

One thing I like about this place is you can custom order on a screen. I ordered the "BYO single burger" with loaded fries. For the fries I recommend ordering the spread on the side if you're a slow eater like me. The shakes are good, I would recommend getting the vanilla with strawberry add on. Last they have a lot of seating next to the pizza place which I almost didn't noticed. Overall the food is worth trying for lunch and the workers are very friendly and welcoming. read more

Found this place on the seed oil scout app and it's easily become one of our favorite spots for burgers. The burgers are always fresh and delicious. Their garlic sauce is amazing especially with the fries. My favorite thing about this place is that they fry their fries in beef tallow, and even their spreads are seed oil free. Tried the cucumber lemonade drink on this last visit and it was so good! Love that it's sweetened with agave syrup. You can tell that they are intentional about better ingredients AND delivering tasty food. Their service is always friendly and fast. It's more of a takeout place since there isn't much option for seating. Highly recommend if you're a fan of smash burgers! read more

I saw many good reviews about this place so we decided to try it. The place is very small and very modest, there are only a few seats available so mainly is a to go place. We ordered the specialty which are smash burgers and fries which are fried with beef tallow. Burgers are good although I was expecting more and fries were good too but I didn't notice a difference of using beef tallow. In general, is good but since seating is quite a challenge so I would hesitate in coming back since I like to eat my burgers and fries fresh and not to go because they get soggy and don't taste as good as freshly made. In any case I suggest to try them. read more

Tiny place with bold hamburgers. Farm to Smash fancies itself as a hybrid healthier / tastier burger option. They tout cooking with tallow over seed oils and make their spreads with Avocado oil. They also grind their own meat to assure freshness and quality. My burger was "smashed" style which means it's thin and crispy. I'm not a fan of Freddy's smashed style burgers but this place was better than those greasy ones I've had at other places. - This is a very small space and every day since it opened there has been a line out the door. - Not really a "dine in" option even though there are a few tables inside. - Order online for pickup is your best option. - Fries were really good. - Original burger was good. - Request chipotle spread on your burger. read more

I am a sucker for smash burgers and will travel well outside my normal boundaries to try one. When my local smash burger place wasn't available, I checked this place out. See that line out the door? That's partly because the restaurant is very small and partly because this place is very popular right now. Don't worry. The line moves quickly but the food does take a while to come out. It is cooked to order so be patient. There is only counter seating inside, and it is of the type where you stare at a wall. There are also a couple of tables outside the front door. Parking is freeee in the lot. The smash burgers here are VERY smashed and thus, very thin, so, you might consider getting a double burger to get a more substantial meal. While the edges (or lace) of these burgers are wonderfully crispy, I actually think the burgers themselves are too thin and lose some of their meaty goodness as a result. The buns are nice and the ingredients (onions, jalopenos, bacon, etc.) are all very fresh tasting. The fries, while very fresh, didn't do it for me. They are thick steak fries, which isn't my jam, and they were barely seasoned. I just prefer skinnier and crispier fries, with more seasoning, of course. Although we didn't know the fries wouldn't be well seasoned, we fortunatley purchased a side of their housemade ranch dressing ($1.75 for a small cup, ouch), and it was delicious. It isn't as tangy as the ranch dressing you get at the store which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This one is made with dill and it is very different and nice. Nearly everyone got a shake while we were there, and they looked great, but we didn't try one. These are good smash burgers, freshly made, and they are worth a try. read more
