    BLACK BEAN SMASH with FRENCH FRIES
    Quin B.

    I touched down at the Smashburger in Schaumburg. I had the black bean burger with crispy brussel sprouts. The bean burger was alright, but the brussel sprouts ruined the meal. They were too greasy and salty. Almost more grease than sprouts. My stomach didn't appreciate that meal at all. I'm done with Smashburger. The beef burgers are tasty, but the price to quality ratio is askewed. Such a pricey meal is not worth it to me.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience- might as well start here - we showed up at prime dinner time- just after 6pm on a Sunday night. We waited in a somewhat unkempt restaurant while the cashier finished up the order of the person we were waiting behind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But then we waited a couple minutes for her to finish up.....sigh. Ok - when we finally started the order (2 smashburgers; hold the red onions on both; one with tots; the other with sweet potato fries..... I wanted a beer. The menu board had beers (Coors light, Dos Equis, and - I think another one) - but they only had a couple beers on tap instead- so i got a Sam Adams Seasonal. We paid up, got our number....hubby got a water cup, and I left to sit down, bereft of beer. Sigh. Ok- while I went to the loo to do my BIZness, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I noted it was dirty and hadn't been cleaned for hours. Not a good sign- if the loo's dirty? Yikes. Likely the kitchen isn't too clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But still - we waited. Finally, 18 minutes after we ordered (and it wasn't like it was an extremely busy restaurant), the food arrived. The Smashburgers were good. Yay. The tots? Not so hot. I mean, at all. Lukewarm at best. OOH. Not good. Taters hold heat. But these tots were not hot. At all. The sweet potato fries were- thank goodness - fantastic! Ok- but what was wrong? the beer, when it arrived at the table with the food? Was not in a glass (and they had glasses available). Instead, it was in two paper cups. Worse, the rim of the cup tasted like a bit of a deli stand- meaning the person who poured the beer held the cup w/o washing up first. Yuck. Yuck. YUCK. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So here's the thing- dirty loo and restaurant - that's a concern. Slow service- another concern. Worse to me? The beer after-taste on the cup and the tots that weren't hot. Not a good thing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Ok, Smashburger. Not sure who your franchisee is here, but the team there was "not" well-organized. There was no sense of "hustle". And I should have been served the beer at the time of the order, right? When hub-hub got his water then, and I didn't get my beer? Oh my. I think your owner is just out to collect the profits, as they surely didn't care about the quality of the experience or the food. Sorry to say, we won't go again. Much more is the pity.

    On my second visit to Smashburger, we decided to order ahead of time during dinner. When we got there we only had to wait a few minutes for our order. My husband and I got the double original smashburger and our kids got the truffle smashburger. All burgers were great but the fries were cold and stale. The next time we come, it will be during a busier time making sure there is fast turnover in fries.

    Just wish for the price that the fries were included with the burger. Definitely better than a typical fast food burger since it's made to order. Also wish that there was more to the kids meal like a coloring page or something. The kids really like the burger, everything is nice and fresh. The orange Fanta was watered down.

    Just my opinion. Smashburger is overrated. I was very disappointed wasting my money. My first and probably my last visit at this location. I ordered the avocado bacon burger and fries. It was way too greasy, and the burger was just basic. I don't see what the Big Deal is about Smashburger. The word Smash definitely wasn't something I did with the food. I couldn't even finish my food. Waste of money.

    I heard great things about @smashburger from several people so I decided to try them for myself. Took a ride out to the Schaumburg location on Golf Road. We had the following:  A smoked cheddar brisket burger with one patty. A smoked cheddar brisket burger with double patties. A truffle Mushroom Swiss burger. A spicy Baja with black burger. Sweet potato fries. The single patty burgers are huge, you need to be extra hungry if you order a double patty burger. Although they classify smash Burgers as "fast food", I would prefer to call them fast, deliciously satisfying food. Awesome signature Smash Burgers! Their burgers are made with certified Angus beef and there are many choices on the menu. Sweet potato fries are delicious and a large order is enough for two people to share. Service moved surprisingly fast for the amount of people that were ordering that day. The location was very clean and all employees were wearing gloves and masks. They have limited seating inside but do have a cute outside patio with additional seating. Craving a burger? Take a ride out to Smashburger in Schaumburg, Illinois.

    I had been to a Smashburger in Schaumburg a while back when there was one on Golf Road by Plum Grove Road. I didn't know Smashburger was still around. I recently checked out this location. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a single turkey burger and haystack onions to go. I received good service. The restaurant layout was good and the signs for where to go order and where to go for deliver/ pick-up were clearly placed. The detailed menu was on the board above the cashier counter. The staff members at the ordering counter were knowledgeable and helpful. Their menu has a good variety of items to choose from. They offer single patty and double patty Beef burgers (w/ varieties) as well as Black Bean, Chicken and Turkey burgers. They have sides and salads options as well as a Kids Meal menu. They also have a variety of beverages, Haagen Daas ice cream milkshakes and even, breakfast items, on the menu. And as for the food, the cheeseburger and the turkey burger were tasty; however, the haystack onions left me wanting for something better. They were cooked okay but the flavor was a miss. Parts of the haystack had no flavor (in terms of the seasoning) and other parts were a bit salty. I also had their single spicy baja with guac burger and smash tots which were complimentary as a part of a Yelp Elite perk event. The smash tots were super oily and salty. My wife and I both agreed on that so it wasn't just I that felt that way. And mind you, I am not salt sensitive or anything like that. My burger was cooked properly and it had a nice kick to it as well; however, in occasional bites, it tasted a bit salty as well. I wasn't really impressed by the food, I had. It was so-so at the best. Overall, I decided to give it four stars based on the menu variety, pricing, the service and food. If rating just based on the food then I would give only three stars. For me, it's a once in while visit type place but I would say that you definitely check this Smashburger out and see how you like it.

The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

Shops that offer chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, fries, and similar options have become very commonplace in this area of the Chicago suburbs. Even without considering the quality of food, there's a few features that make this a hit for me. The dining room is fun, yet appropriate. The value here is great both in terms of quantity of food, and overall pricing. The ice cream that changes monthly provides a fun way to customize a periodic visit. While I'm not crazy about the texture and flavor of it, it's still an enjoyable dessert -- particularly on a warm day. The sides such as fried cheese curds and spicy fries are different. The dirty soda options also provide a ton of possibilities for social media posts and different flavor options on each visit. Service is not too slow for how busy the restaurant is, and parking isn't too difficult. The food is very good here, both in terms of flavor and texture -- and generously portioned as well. The tenders rival the best versions I've had from other dedicated chicken restaurants. Crispy with tender chicken that stands well on its own without sauces, but at the same time has a heightened experience with the quality sauces, which each have a distinct flavor profile. I also enjoyed the cole slaw and texas toast considerably, and especially the fries which were crisp and matched very well with the sauces. The same level of food quality is also present in their sandwiches and wraps, which mix the same quality components together for a delicious product.

I had a sausage dog smothered in sautéed onions and mustard and my friend had a hotdog sans the onion. I have never seen a hotdog with a tomato in it! Our sandwiches were delicious. I also ordered a small fry to share but after the flavor fullness of my polish sausage the fries just didn't compare. I also ordered their world famous chocolate cake. It's true, it says so on the menu. I was so full from my sandwich I couldn't touch the cake at the restaurant, I just tried it now to finish my review and it's on point! It tastes different than regular chocolate cakes, I can't pin down the difference though. I will say it's just the right amount of sweetness, not overly so but the flavor of the cake is wow! Definitely a winner!

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future.

The workers here always ask great questions about customizations, and they always fill the sandwiches and aren't stingy on using ingredients, which I'm so thankful for because the sandwiches here definitely aren't cheap (almost $10 for a regular sized sandwich and $19 for a giant size). I read some other reviews about workers not giving recommendations, but I feel it's hard to recommend a customizable sandwich when every menu item describes what the sandwich includes in it, and they don't know what you like...

We like Jersey Mike's in general because they cut the deli meat in front of you, and although they don't have as many ingredient options as some other sub places, everything tastes so fresh and delicious.
