Tons of potential here. I absolutely love that the burgers are not turbo salty; that has been the…read morefolly of many smash burger establishments I've visited in Abq and Denver so no complaint from me there. My only compliant was my burger was pretty over cooked, but that won't stop me from going back. I think Smash and Shakes' fry sauce is a tremendously tasty accomplishment and the sauce on the S.O.B. was also great. That said, I think you're appealing to the Abq crowd well, but I'm interested to see how it measures up to the upper class crowd of the area East of Tramway. I don't like Bob's burgers, but they killed it with cheap burgers and chili. Your prices are very competitive, but I bet that location and loud lit signing outside is turbo expensive, I do wish you the best of luck. Seriously, I'm not clowning, I hope you do well and smash Bob's out of existence lol. Alright. Hugs and kisses, peace!

I stopped by this place with a friend for lunch. I got the Burqueño burger and she got the Classic…read more We both got fries. If you are looking for a smash burger, this place is great! They offer single or double burger but I think even the single smash burger is enough for a meal. The chopped green chile on the Burqueño was an excellent addition. The fries are gluten free and fried in a separate beef fat fryer, and they have gluten free buns available as well. The milk shakes looked delicious, but I didn't have room to try one. You can either sit in the restaurant or take next door to Boxing Bear Brewing if you want a beer with your burger. I would definitely go here again. The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 is because the steak fries weren't really crispy. They were fresh and hot from the fryer though, and my friend loved them so might just be my personal preference. Prices are reasonable and there is parking right out front. Definitely worth trying out!

I had the most delicious burger here last week. I was alone so I sat at the bar. The bartender was…read morefriendly and attentive. I ordered the Five Star burger and it was to die for. Crispy bacon and crumbly blue cheese... just yum! I was also offered the chipotle mayo and wow! It was delicious. It was a huge burger and I took half of it home. I also took a piece of lava cake home with their salted caramel ice cream. It was sooooo good. They had a fun beer on tap called Squirrel Nuts. It's a peanut butter ale and it's bomb. The atmosphere was chill, and I loved the bar area. I'll be back! Cheers!

I had the garden burger and the frickles. Yum fried pickles, they were amazing and on the happy hour menu! The garden burger was also very tasty. I love to support places that provide vegetarian options, 5 star is now on my list. Happy hour was a great time with drink and snack discounts to spend time with friends. The staff was very pleasant and checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The place is pretty standard diner style in decor, but that's to be expected. So come for the food, and definitely the happy hour. If you're vegetarian or gluten-free there are options for you!

I was so excited to try this place because my family has come here for years. When I received my…read moreburger for take out yesterday (March 10th, 2026) at around 3:30pm, my burger had a piece of plastic from their buns in it. The service was great but this is very dangerous mistake to overlook. If a child or senior bit into this they could have choked! Luckily, I saw it as I was taking a bite. This really grossed me out though, so I couldn't finish the burger. I don't think I would recommend eating here anymore when there are better, less outdated, places to get a burger in Albuquerque. The shake was good though...

The outdoor patio is a nice option to have to sit outside. We went on a Saturday around 6:30PM and it wasn't too busy so it was nice to have somewhere to go in a Saturday where you can have a good chat, get seated quickly, and get your food in a reasonable time.

Visiting from out of town I was on the hunt for a good mushroom burger and the internet led me to…read moreHoly Burger. Service was incredibly slow and the music on the patio was far too loud so I had to sit in an area that was pretty dusty and had not been wiped down that day. Despite ordering my burger as "plain and dry", tomato and lettuce still came on the burger and I had to disassemble things to get the tomato juice mopped up and off my burger. The flavor was decent but something about the burger kept it from being good, and I can't pinpoint what it was. The bun was a bit odd texturally as well. The fries however were GREAT!! If I was in the area again, I would absolutely order the fries here, but likely get a burger elsewhere. The table next to me seemed to be regulars and were over the moon with their food, so your mileage may vary. I think it's worth checking out at least once to make your own opinion.

But, it's no longer the same as it used to be. I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe it's just this location? But, the fries didn't taste very good and the burgers were dry and flavorless.

The quality and taste of the food is great just like the original location. I always say this, try the kitchen sink. It is amazing. I was able to watch a wood cup game and it was not too loud.

Olivia, Yolanda, and the security gentleman provided some of the best customer service we've experienced. They were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we walked in. Olivia and Yolanda took the time to clearly explain the menu options and answer our questions, making it easy for us to decide what to order. The security gentleman was also kind and welcoming, helping create a positive and comfortable atmosphere. It's not often that you come across a team that genuinely cares about their customers, but this crew definitely does. Thank you all for making our stop such a pleasant experience. If we're ever passing through again, we'll definitely be back!
