I don't eat a burger often but when that uncontrollable craving takes a hold, Smashburger is my go to spot. This time it happened in A-Town, and thank goodness there was a Smashburger nearby. I got my usual, the Colorado with a fried egg added, except this time the manager let me get a kids size...now, I don't know what kid could put that burger away because it seemed just as big as the small smashburger. It was consistent with other smashburgers. The fried green chili's were yummy, but again, a huge serving, way too much. My husband tried the fried chicken sandwich. It was good. The chicken seemed a bit overdone, super crispy, but it wasn't greasy at all. It had a nice peppery flavor. Anyway, the reason I'm only giving 3 stars is because compare to the other 2 Smashburger's I've been too, this one didn't feel as comfortable. It almost felt dirty. I didn't like the energy here, and neither did the hubs, so I know I wasn't imaging it. There was just something about the restaurant that felt off. I think I'll stick to the Flagship in my hood. read more

I know Smashburger is a chain. I know that. BUT... Its not only a good chain, its a great chain. The ingredients here are fresh, the burger is meaty and juicy, and there are plenty of different types of burgers. My wife and I came here on a lark, really. We had to drop off some things at FedEx next door and, well, I was kind of hungry. I went in thinking I'd only get a "snack," but ended up coming out with a whole meal. But seriously, this burger place tops just but any other chain I've tried. In-n-Out? Smashburger is better. Five Guys? Smashburger is better? Fast food? Not even a chance. I'll level with you, though, the sweet potato fries are king here. They're drizzled in oil and covered in rosemary (or is it sage). It's excellent. Next time I go, I'm going to give the milkshake a try. They sounded great. read more

We have a ritual after our weekly Sunday run at Red Rocks - we grab burgers and fries from the Smashburger near our apartment. A few weeks ago they effed up our order, today they served two other people before us, one order was cold, the other was slightly overcooked, we told the girl who took our order about our last visit and she dismissed us. I probably wouldn't be so peeved if someone came and told us that our order was messed up but for no one to apologize for the wait and to explain why two other people got their orders before us is unacceptable. Poop!!! Not coming back. read more

Were you aware that the renowned fast-casual chain Smashburger has roots in our fair city? Oh, everyone already knew that? Well, crap. Way to take the air out of my sails, people. Actually, you know what? I'm still going to talk about them anyway, so THPT! Please be advised that this review will specifically refer to the branch at Parker/Yale, as that's the one I find myself spending the most time in (seeing as it's right up the street from my workplace and all). For some reason, it always looks so tiny to me from the outside, and thus I find myself doing a "zOMGWOW" more often than not when I step through the door and marvel at how spacious the interior actually is. The staff I've interacted with there have always been very pleasant and obliging, and are more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure that patrons have everything they need to enjoy their meals. And their menu (which I'm just about to discuss a bit below) has a heckuva lot of choices. In toto (arf!), Smashburger is definitely one of the better fast-casual options (I visit these types of places so infrequently overall that I'm not sure I can call them "the best", but you know what I mean). Now let's talk some more about that menu, shall we? The first thing I have to explain is that they are not shy about using spicy peppers on their burgers. Good Lord! (And yes, I know you can get a lot hotter in town but for a fast-casual place it's worth making a note of, OK?). If I'm not doing one of their pre-set burgers or chicken sandwiches, some of the toppings I've especially enjoyed are crimini mushrooms, spinach, goat cheese, guacamole and the house "smash sauce" (which always reminds me a bit of egg-salad-without-the-eggs). Ooh! Before I forget - I know you're familiar with their "Smashfries" slathered in olive oil, rosemary and garlic, but did you know that you can also have this same, um, dressing on sweet potato fries? And the combo isn't nearly as nauseating as you might imagine - try it! Oh, and finish up with a salted caramel shake, no matter how bloated you may be. read more

Before patronizing this location multiple times, I was quite fond of Smashburger. The Parker Road store has turned me off totally. For starters, the fries (all varieties) are always drenched in oil. I realize that the smashfries include olive oil to get the rosemary and garlic to "stick;" however, they've been soaked every time I've ordered them. The plain and sweet potato fries haven't been much better. My burger is also sloppily made at this location - yes, every time. It's such a disappointment because it's not as if you get the food quickly. There is always a wait regardless of how many people are in the restaurant. This leads me to my next bone to pick, the counter service has been extremely inconsistent. I've experienced a friendly, albeit somewhat inept, cashier as well as one that was extremely rude. As a matter of fact, on my last visit, the person at the register proceeded to engage the persons ahead of me in a long drawn-out conversation that had absolutley nothing to do with their order, knowing that I'd been standing there waiting for awhile. When I finally made it to the counter to order she didn't acknowledge the fact that I'd been waiting at all. Instead, she acted put off by having to take my order. I tell you what - she won't have to worry about doing it again. If (and only if) I get a hankering for the veggie burger I will make it a point to drive to the location on Colorado Blvd where the food and service has been been much better. read more

Came in for fish sandwich deal and it wasn't honored. Worker said it was past the promotion deal date but still advertised in lobby with no promotion end date just listed as limited time in restaurant. Why advertise if not doing any longer.... read more

I dream of Smashburger, probably more often than is heart healthy. But how can one resist tasty, juicy burgers, beautifully seasoned fries, and a Haagen Daz vanilla milk shake? Not too mention the other possibilities of fried pickles and fried jalapenos! You're right. It is impossible! I'll agree with you, dear reader. I s'pose it doesn't help that they cleverly bombard me with delicious updates on their Facebook often enough to keep the craving gently rumbling. Damn you, Smashburger. I'm hooked! read more

Dear Smashburger, Why was my burger so salty? Why was the bun so distractingly thick and chewy? Why were the haystack onion rings that sounded so crisp and delicious on the menu a mushy-greasy-stringy disaster on my plate? Although you may satisfy many others, I guess you're just not for me. I'll be at Five Guys. Love, Randi read more

As far as burgers go, this was really tasty! I found it randomly while hunting unknown territory for lunch. Great find! read more

Smashburger - Colorado smashburger - Burgers Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place is hit or miss. However, when it is a miss - holy shit. We visited today and it was one of the biggest shit shows I have ever witnessed. There's a guy there, I won't say his name but it rhymes with meth, and he's a rude idiot. We watched him run around like a chicken with his head cut off for 10 minutes at least before he ever addressed the line of 10 people waiting to just place an order. The place was empty aside from a table Outside and one inside. No one was happy - every was was eyes wide open staring at this idiot in disbelief as to his incredibly poor judgement. He held the door or guest entering and exiting the patio instead of taking orders of the 10 people in line. Once in line, he insulted my wife by interrupting and ignoring her immediately after asking her to say what she'd like. I had to restrain myself. All this while you can picture, a sweaty, out-of-breathe, shining example of someone you wouldn't want anywhere near your food. Their green chile is not green chile, let's just get that straight. Don't come here for a green chile burger. I certainly wish there was a Freddy's as close as this Smashburger. I can't imagine we'll ever come back. Making the drive to Freddy's just seems like the only option. I mean don't get me wrong, if you want a burger just slightly better than McDonald's, but with worse service, this is your place. I hope this guy is your last employee before you file chapter 11. read more

This was my second Colorado Smashburger. I had one 6 months ago at the Smashburger in Centennial and it was good. The one at this location was so so. It wasn't juicy. My friend ordered a regular one and it was dry. She didn't even eat more than half. Every time we have gone to 5 guys she finishes her burger. I see no reason to visit Smashburger over 5 guys. The guy taking our order was nice and had a great attitude. However, when he repeated my order back he said 2 22's. I asked what that was and he said "your fountain drink cup" He could have simply just left it at that or pointed at it. But instead he tapped the lip of my cup 4 times with his fingers and then grabbed the lip with his fingers. Keep in mind this guy touches himself, the register, things around the restaurant and money all day. He was nice and I didn't want to hurt his feelings by explaining why I needed another cup so I just threw it away. I'm not a germ-a-phobe but that was unacceptable. read more

BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar Burger is very good. Doesn't come with veggies but u can ask for lettuce, tomato, onion, etc on the side for no extra charge. Good portions & a fair price for what you're getting. I'll definitely be back. read more

I though Smashburger was overrated the very first time, but I also checked out a different location. When this one opened up, I gave it another shot and FELL IN LOVE. MY GO TO FAST CASUAL BURGER PLACE, which replaced Five Guys as my top choice. I always get the sweet potato fries. The oil they toss the fries with can make them soggy, so go lite or none at all. The regular burger is filling enough, but if you're super hungry go with the big smash. I've only got the chicken burger once, and it was the buffalo chicken burger. It was nothing to write home about. Stick with the beef burgers. It's awesome they have New Belgium brews here with a pairing menu, which I've used with great success. You much try their milkshakes at least once in your lifetime. It really hit the spot! Not too thick that you can't suck through a straw, and not so thin that you're drinking milk. My favorites are the BBQ burger and the Baja burger. I don't recommend the swiss truffle mayo burger though. read more

We have been frequenting this location for quite some time now, and I cannot say I have any complaints! The food always tastes well and it's clean and quick. There was only one time where we walked in and it smelt like old wet rags, but since that visit, the same staff that was there that day is no longer there. I've seen such a great improvement as we continue to come to this location. The customer service is great, the staff is professional, and the food is delicious! I'm pretty happy with this location. read more

Smashburger - Avo club smash chicken with smashed sweet potato fries. - Burgers Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place shares the same parking lot with Hooters on Parker. You walk in and there is no menu board on the wall. You gotta pick up a paper menu before queuing up. Got the Smash Classic and a regular fry for $7.54 (burger was $4.99). I thought the patty was a little thin. I have no idea the size of the patty, but I'll guess 1/4 lb. Fries were good with the rosemary and garlic. The classic: American cheese, ketchup, leaf lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, pickles, and our smash sauce on an egg bun. read more

Smashburger - classic - Burgers Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I am a fan of hamburgers and firmly believe that you can't go wrong with anything that has truffle oil in it. I wanted to really like this place b/c I'm always in search for a burger joint, but unfortunately it was just average. On my visit I tried: 1) Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger ($5.99) -delicious, but rather pricey for the size of the burger 2) Spicy Baja Burger ($6.99) -the bf got the "big" sized burger and it was literally a bite and a half or so bigger than my regular sized burger. -this burger I thought lacked flavor. I would have rather gotten a truffle burger at larkburger-it would have been worth the price! 3) Smash Fries (~$2?) -not very memorable. It was regular fries with olive oil, rosemary, garlic. Not that tasty. I prefer the Cajun fries at Five Guys (waaaay better) or the truffle fries at Larkburger! Damn, now I want some truffle fries. So with that said, it was good to try, but I probably won't be back b/c it was rather pricey. Just add $2 or so and you can get a burger twice the size with bottomless fries at Red Robin or you can head to Larkburger and get their truffle fries and truffle burger!!! read more

This is definitely a mixed review: We placed our order and where told that there were no milkshakes. Then a second employee came by to check with us at our table and I asked about the milkshakes. He said he was just coming on and would look into it. He came back and said the problem was they were out of milk to make the milkshakes. However, he left the store and went and purchased a gallon of milk for my local grocery store. He then came back and comped us to milkshakes. Other than this the food was delivered quickly. The restaurant was clean. The other staff was attentive but less professional. Did not see any of the dirty tables or prolonged wait times mentioned in other reviews. Having eaten at many different smash burgers, there always seems to be some problem. However for the most part the staff have been willing to try to do something to make it right. read more

Only giving two stars cuz the service was friendly. This was my first and probably last time in a smashburger. I ordered my food which was repeated to me then went to use the bathroom while they made it. There was no toilet paper and had to do squat wall to paper towels by the sink. In a day and age of being green this place misses the mark. Each item was individually packed in bag 5 times bigger than it needed to be then the collection of bags were loaded into a ridiculously large bag. I got home to find my order incomplete. What was there wasn't even average. My daughter's grilled cheese was burnt. The Colorado burger had only trace amount of chilis. Both burgers were smashed into nothing so there was no juiciness you crave in a burger. The fried pickles were just a blob of batter from being over crowded in fryer. Only about a quarter of them were edible. Highly disappointed and won't be back read more

The food was typical fast food, but good. The service was helpful and friendly. However, the tables that were open had not been cleaned and we had to be seated at one until we could get someone to clean them, so that is why I gave it a three. read more

Of course I'm a fan. This particular location was okay. Service was cool. Love their burgers read more

Smashburger - Smash with extra cheese...yum - Burgers Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Love the truffle mushroom swiss grilled chicken. The veggie frites are sometimes a bit greasy, so I hope the 110 calories they're supposed to have accounts for all that oil. The smashfries are much better, but at 520 calories I try not to get them too often. :) I don't eat burgers, but this is my husband's current favorite burger spot so I can sort of review those too based on his comments. He is pretty picky so that's a high compliment! I can't believe I'm just getting around to reviewing Smashburger. I've been to several locations, but this is the one I visit most frequently. The service definitely beats fast food chains, and the atmosphere is casual and inviting. Pricey yes, but about what you'd expect for a fast casual place in the Denver area. read more

Love the skinny fries, the well seasoned patties, the fresh ingredients, the selections of flavors and toppings, the healthy options, & the friendly service. I went 4 times with coupons, and it was WELLnworth my money. 4 stars? Without the coupons, I would pay that much for order at the counter burger and fries. $12+ for a (good) fast food burger, large fries, and large drink. read more

Well, unfortunately the quality has very noticeably slipped in my past few trips to this Smashburger. Two times ago I got an egg on my burger, and it was ice cold and totally flavorless. Just today I got a plain old cheeseburger and it was very bland and dry, and charred in places. My fries were also ice cold. Bummer, because I really like Smashburger. I won't be in as much anymore. read more

This place takes forever. If you're looking for something to grab and go, then go somewhere else.

SO apparently Smash Burger is a new rising franchise that I've only heard about recently. It is rather a favorite in CO among many, but to tell you the truth, I saw nothing special about it. The menu is rather limited and the prices are quite high for what it actually is... fast food. My friend ordered a Classic burger with fries, side of chili and a small drink and that came out to be $12? I had a classic Chicken burger and that was $6? I mean... not to say that they don't use quality ingredients, because they do, but at that price I'd rather go to an actual restaurant (i.e. Red Robins) and get my money's worth. Alright, the interior decor looks nicer than your typical McDonalds and they bring the food to your table. Call me cheap or whatever, but that STILL doesn't justify $12 for a meal at a fast food joint when you can't even call it the best gosh-darned burger you've ever had. 3 stars sounds fair. read more

What a disappointment. I used to love Smashburger, but hadn't been in a while. My favorites had always been their buffalo chicken sandwich and the chili cheese fries. Well, they don't offer either of those anymore sadly. But that's ok, I got a different crispy chicken sandwich. The food quality has seriously gone downhill. The chicken was super small and not crispy at all. In addition, the girl at the counter wasn't super friendly. Disappointing experience all around. read more

Come on in..we have limited dining at the moment but out take home and guest services are always great..

Got introduced to Smashburger in Southern Cali back in the fall. This location keeps the great food that Smashburger has almost every location. Do me one favor as you take a look at this review. The one extra special thing that this franchise does is cook the burger to the doneness that you ask for: from rare to well done(not sure why you want that.) Try it...and they will cook it correctly. The garlic fries complement the meal very well. Play around with the build your burger concept with my toppings, sauces, etc. The shakes also are tasty as well as the craft brew, or soda. Pay a couple of extra bucks over a McDonald's...and grab a burger here. My favorite: Colorado Burger. read more

My first time at any Smashburger and I really had to fight to find it. The location doesn't jump out at you. I ordered the truffle burger and fried dill pickles. The burger was okay, but the pickles were inedible. Someone in the kitchen has a very heavy hand with the salt shaker. Salt crystals were layered on the cardboard container. As I waited for the order, I watched a staffer squeeze the very last drops out of the bottle holding whatever sauce goes with the pickles. When I tried to eat an overly salted pickle, there was less than a teaspoon of sauce in the dip container and not nearly enough to mitigate the saltiness. My first and last time at Smashburger. The food was not worth the effort I put forth to find the place. read more

Waited 30 minutes for one burger. They told us they were understaffed but the girl bringing us the burgers was carrying one burger at a time when 3 were ready at the window. The burgers were good but the fries were cold. Looks like there were 3 employees. The cashier was courteous and the only one who seemed to know what he was doing. It wasn't that busy, there were about 12 people when we were there. Terrible management. read more
