The burgers are ok. Not impressive considering the dollars you pay for them. The fries are soggy. The service was slow when I visited.

I don't get it. I thought for the amount of food we got and the quality that it was overpriced. Tried the veggie burger. The flavor was fine but it was very thin and crumbly and made a terrible mess. Did not like the smash fries at all. Our family of 5 didn't even finish the one order. The line was very long on a Sunday afternoon and the service was not great. We won't be going back. read more

Thought I'd check out the hype. Great burger, had the "Big Smash" which hangs out the side of the bun a bit. Very, very juicy. Great flavor. The rosemary "Smash Fries" are very good as well. Onion bun was good. It's not so much greasy as it is juicy, but I could see how it can get messy. The owners were having a little conference at the table next to us and treated us to try samples of the black-bean burger. While the patty itself is vegetarian, it's cooked on the same flat-top as the meat burgers, so they are trying to figure out how to declare that on the menu board. The burger was very good, great black bean flavor and actually held up pretty well on the bun. Service was excellent and pretty quick. We'll definitely add this to our lunch rotation. read more

First time here for a quick lunch bite with friends. The service was quick & not really friendly, but not rude. I ordered the classic smash burger, and it's okay. I liked the fries but not really love them. My friend ordered the bbq salad and wasn't really that great, but looked good. She described as just lettuce with bbq sauce. Probably won't be back because there are better burgers around the area. Decor is fun! read more

My bestie and I came here prior to christmas shopping at Tempe marketplace. She ordered the avocado club smash and I ordered the kids smash with fries. Tasty burgers and among some of the best crispy fries. Next time I am ordering a rootbeer float to share. The meat used for the burgers was fresh and yummy. Perfecto! read more

I like Smashburgers and this location is the closet to me. What can I say I enjoy a good burger and Smashburger delivers to my taste bud. You can order beer here, which I don't think this particular location does well since there are so many kids running around. Then again it's close to a movie theater and I gather and the teenagers need a place to loiter. I always order my favorite the Arizona burger with sweet potato fries! I love the kick it has with the jalapenos and guacamole. I wonder if each state has it's own burger? - Enjoy! read more

My wife took me on a date and went to Smashburger before catching a movie next door. We had to wait a few minutes to order our burgers and fries. The burgers took about 10 minutes to come to our table. I enjoyed my burger and was pleased with the taste and quality of the burger. The burger bun was good. The most disappointing part of the meal was the fries. The fries didn't have much to them and weren't that good. The sweet potato fries were MUCH better! Next time, I'll order those or maybe try the smash fries. A very good burger, but would rank behind Zinburger, Lobbys, 5 guys, but ahead of some of the chain places like Red Robin, Fuddruckers or even the Chuckbox. Staff was friendly and very clean. A worker made a point to come by and take our empty basket. Serves coke products. Overall assessment, 3.5! read more

Lemme lay a trufe on all y'all...... The "Arizona Smashchicken" (grilled version) is one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches you can find. Anywhere. Pair it with their tasty onion strings and a brewski, and you have yourself one DANDY tasting little dinner. I've eaten a LOT of grilled chicken sammiches, and this one can stand with just about any of them. Definitely a repeat customer. read more

The line (if there is one) always goes quickly, the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, and the service is always good. I dont know if theres much more I can say. 2 thumbs up. The perfect meal before going to a movie (it fills me up and im forced to not buy candy). read more

Great service but just doesn't compete with 5 guys burgers. Felt a tad pricey for a under par burger. My wife enjoyed it but just don't think it was a hit for us. read more

Smashburger - Menus on the wall as you wait in line or just look up front. Burgers to salads and even have beer varieties. - Burgers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The best chicken burger I've EVER had. No doubt. Bar none. Yes please. I was visiting Phoenix when I was hungry and a friend wanted a burger. We came here, and I put on my silly California face saying "I've never heard of a Smashburger". The menu is pretty simple. Chicken or Beef. A few pre-designed choices or make your own burger. I opted for the grilled chicken mushroom swiss, add mushrooms and include their tossed fries in oil and spices. I don't know what to say without saying it was the best burger I've ever had in my life. It had so much flavor. I long to visit Arizona again, but have now discovered I can have it again locally at one of the very few in SoCal. Just a 40 minute drive to Culver City and I'm there! read more

What can I say? I first heard about it on Facebook. So when I saw it in Denver I had to try it. I've loved everything I've tried with the exception of their fried pickles. Too salty. But I have been a fan ever since and I tell everyone who isn't tired of hearing me yet how great their burgers are. I even like the chicken sandwiches. I've been to three different locations and the service has always been so top notch they must treat their employees really well. read more

I bought a few Groupons to this place and used my first this Friday. The line to order was about 8 deep, but it took about 10 minutes to get to the front to order. 2 registers, and only one person taking orders on a Friday night at 7? Once I gave my order I waited for my togo at a nearby bench. I was able to watch the order times for all orders as they were entered since there was a monitor with the orders near the kitchen window. I noticed a guy waiting for his order while I was in line, shaking his head and waiting impatiently. I now know why he was disappointed. It took 8:02 to assemble my order of an AZ burger and a Black Bean burger. Really? At this point I have spent 18 minutes from arrival to reception of my burgers. I think most sit down restaurants can also meet this time with no problem, but this place specializes in burgers....? Ok, now to review the food. Our burgers were tasty, but they didn't replace the onions for grilled ones as I requested on one burger and the other burger didn't have fried pickles that I paid extra for. Being in a hurry I didn't have time to check or go back to fix this. I guess the discount I planned on from my Groupon was not really a discount after all :( On a positive note, I did like their rosemary fries. So much that I scarfed down the last ones without offering any to my girlfriend, oops. For what it was, it was overpriced "slow food". I guess I'll go back to use my other $12 groupon, but it'll be for just that, $12 worth in rosemary fries. I might share some this time, ha. read more

I absolutely love coming in this smashburger! Everyone sooooo nice and sooo helpful. Everytime when I come in Victoria goes above and beyond to make sure my experience is awesome, along with the all the employees here!!! Thank you smash!!! All you rock!!! 5 star always for this awesome store!!! read more

I'm just going to go ahead and say that this is my favorite burger place. Whew, glad I got that out there. Now on to why... (a) The meat itself is substantial, flavorful, juicy, and always hot. (b) They offer several different bun varieties, which is unique and awesome. My favorite is the chipotle bun. (c) There are lots and lots of topping options. Some standard, some that challenge the status quo a bit (fried egg, avocado, mushrooms come to mind). (d) AMAZING side dishes. I think I have my perfect "create your own" burger down, so I get that every time, but I always have a hard time deciding which side to get. Rosemary Smashfries? Sweet potato fries? Haystack onions (with yummy dipping sauce)? Fried pickles? All of these are seriously delicious. (e) Great service. Sometimes the food takes a little but longer, but it's usually very fast. And while you can of course be hit or miss with the staff that's there, some of them are amazingly helpful and friendly. Throw in a great atmosphere and you've got yourself one fantastic meal. And, unlike some other burger places, I don't leave feeling greasy or "weighed down" by the food - just full, happy, and ready to go back the next day. Smashburger FTW! read more

Never again. Put extra onions on my burger when I asked for NONE, I can live with that. Luckily (for you), I'm not deathly allergic to them. However FOREIGN BIOLOGICAL OBJECTS IN MY FOOD?!? Unforgivable. I just wanted a salad with the normal ingredients that it has on the menu. I did NOT order the dime-sized chunk of eggshell or the 8 inch length of brown hair that I found at the bottom of the salad bowl. fml....AT THE BOTTOM!!! I muscled passed the crunchy eggshell surprise only to find a stringy remnant of someone's recent barbizon visit tangled in the floppy lettuce romain?!? AHHHH!!!! Do I have to get on webMD now?! What are the symptoms for food rabies?! (Is there such a thing???) I openly admit that I've got some deeply-seated issues with gluttony; so it's really saying something if you were able to make me lose my appetite before I even finished my meal. Yeah no, I was more happy to eat the 4mo old snickers bar I found in my cabinet, than to finish the leafy $9 garbage disposal petri-dish they I *paid you for*. I gave you money....for you to give me hair, leaves and eggshells with a spicy chipotle dressing. I basically paid to be on your version of Fear Factor meets Punk'd: Restaurant Edition. Good God - HEAR ME, ZEUS. If I could leave negative stars (not even stars!! They'd be angry, jaded utterly bitter lumps of poop), I absolutely would. But yelp won't let me for some unholy reason. Maybe if they had your salad, they too would be prompted to make the adjustment due to the inexorable stomach pumping that would almost certainly follow. If fate is kind, the uncontrollable gag reflex will take care of that pre-hospital visit. I will never...ever....ever (yes. juuuust like the Taylor Swift song) ever.... step foot into that establishment again. Truthfully, I hope at least 556 other people think twice about eating here (there) too. Or maybe the IRS decides to audit you the same day the restaurant inspection people come and shut you down for mixing horrible hygiene with respectively terrible cooking. I hope at the very least they make you create a separate, "We feed you garbage!!!!" discount line that is out back that just dishes food out of the trash. At least then, people would know what they're spending their money on. I do love your salted caramel shakes though. They're delicious. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go see if this particular location has a twitter page that I can continue my rant on. read more

Bottom Line: Everyone I've taken here keeps coming back for more. This place hands down is better than Five Guys and In & Out combined. I stumbled upon Smashburger after coming out of the movies and I've been there almost every weekend for a meal since. They have an amazing menu from their signature burgers to building your own, salads, hot dogs, sides (amazing sweet potatoe fries) and shakes, even BEER! I promise no one will b disappointed. read more

I brought my GF here to prove that the hulk SmashBurger was better than 5guys. Bad choice of location! I've been to the camelback and avondale location and I was very satisfied. This Tempe Smash was dirty and a swing of the kitchen door, it was even more dirty in back EWW. The cashier lady was nice and helpful except for the price she gave me 17 bucks for two burgers "1w/Bacon&Jalenpenos" and fries...Ouch My Pocket! No doubt SmashBurgers are amazing just guess the two guys in back were more interested in the RapMusic and smiling or laughing at customers than making my burger. They messed up my order with condiments and burgermeat wasn't cooked correctly and tasted wack. Deciding to go back to complain I decided to waste my time on Yelp. My GF loves when I'm wrong. Should've went with chinese...Ill go back to SMash but NOT Tempe Smash to prove her wrong. read more

Drop in here with a Groupon with the family in tow. Really surprised by the quality and taste associated with the burger i got (BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar "smash" sized burger on a wheat bun, with a side of fried pickles). all in all, i was initially a little unimpressed, until the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the preparation hit me with the first bite. First of all, although not the most massive burger on their menu, it was filling without leaving me feeling stuffed sick (as can be common with other comparable burger joints - firve guys, in and out, fatburger, etc). the kids loved the kids cheese burgers (no real surprise there), and aside from too much bun on their burgers, their meals were also a hit. wife got an arizona burger, which while not for me, was a hit for her. will definitely return and the fried pickles were also great, if you like pickles. read more

This was my first visit to a Smashburger joint, and I wasn't disappointed! My friend took me here for lunch and I ordered the Arizona burger and SmashFries. Yummy!!! The Arizona burger was cooked just right and was supremely delicious! The SmashFries were a-ok, but not anything spectacular. I ordered the regular burger and I should have went with the small burger! The regular was way tooo big for one lady to finish alone....anyway, a great place for a great burger! read more

Seriously, I am not sure what all the fuss is about these Smashburger places. Much like Mckayla Maroney, I was not impressed. It's a burger place. That's it. They aren't trying to be unique in any area as far as I can tell. It isn't worth any hype and it isn't worth any wait if there is one. The night we went this particular location wasn't really clean and actually had run out of some things. I'd pass by this given all the other choices in the area of this mall. read more

love this place better than MCD duh.. better than BK haha...duh... better than 5 Guys :) better than Red Robin, slightly...we like good ol'Robin My guy & I both have the AZ and the chili fries (when we're feelin naughty) love it! read more

In November, I visited this Smashburger, and did not have a good experience. Today, I decided to give them another try (after all, I was at Tempe Marketplace and starving! ) and had a very different experience. I had the mushroom/swiss burger with fries, and both were delicious. The burger was juicy, hot and cooked to just the right temperature. The fries were hot and yummy, as well. I stand corrected: Smashburger is damned good! read more

C and I were running errands all day in Scottsdale and needed a quick bite before a Christmas party. With all my weird dietary habits, I try not to depend on big get together for me to get a full meal and I needed a base layer for drinking. While shopping for white elephant gifts at Barnes and Noble, I looked up Smashburger. They have sweet potato fries and a black bean burger, count me in! It is a typical order at register, snag table marker, sit down and wait place. Ultra casual. I ordered the black bean veggie burger (sans dairy) and C got a classic smash burger plus an order of sweet potato fries to split. The burgers are massive! My black bean burger had a lot of flavor and was well made! The sweet potato fries are extra long and crisp. Exactly what we were looking for! This place is a win! read more

I was in line for over 25 minutes. So many people and only one person taking orders?? Everyone seems to just be meandering around. Tables not being cleared. Doesn't seem like enough people are working. read more

I had the BBQ burger with onion straws and bacon, the Oreo shake and Smash fries (rosemary & olive oil) - all of which were delicious!! Three of us went and it was $30 for three burgers, 2 fountain drinks, 1 shake and 2 fries. Kind of pricey for a small burger joint, but if you're looking for something a step above In-N-Out and are willing to pay a few extra bucks it's worth it! The location is nice as it is right next to Harkins theatre in the Tempe Marketplace. I also liked that they served beer (in bottles and cans). That is just a nice option for us grown ups and one you don't see very often out of a small burger joint. Price is why it lost a star and why I won't make this a regular place to eat. I could go to Red Robin and get all you can eat fries, and a much bigger burger for the same price. read more

More bells and whistles than Five Guys, better meat than In N Out, and more options than The Habit = I'm loving Smashburger! Tried it for the first time when I was killing time in the Tempe Marketplace before a flight. I was craving sweet potato fries per usual and discovered this place. I ordered the Arizona Smash and sweet potato fries. I love that you can choose between the 1/3 or 1/2 pound patty, because sometimes you want to feel healthier than you are, you know? Anyways, the burger is dressed with habañero cheese, guacomole, spicy chipotle mayo, and jalapeno pepper slices. I'm becoming a little obsessed with spicy chipotle mayo lately, so I was glad to see it on the Arizona Smash. The spicy additions to this burger on their own have a little kick, but once they join forces, watch out! I was feeling the heat. After a few trips to Smashburger, I've decided that sweet potato fries should always be prepared with rosemary and garlic because it's beyond fantastic. read more

Went again yesterday. Also went around Christmas. This Smashburger delivers a delicious product, with quality service, consistently. Let that sink in a bit: my Arizona Big Burger has been prepared and served in the same way. Every. Single. Time. This truly is a commitment to excellence. This is a business to keep around. Thank you for hiring good folks who want to cook great burgers and keep customers coming back! read more

This was the second time we have went to this location and the service was bad. Cooks in the back where cussing loudly and repeatedly with children in the proximity, meanwhile Daisy which was the lady that took our order was very rude rolling her eyes and saying slick things under her breathe. Although, she repeated our order twice she still managed to put it in wrong. I had to step in and the talk too the cooks about the specialization on our order because Daisy stood there laughing. This was our second time being there and receiving bad service. I will be calling corporate office tomorrow and not returning to this location. read more

Walked in and the front of house wasn't wearing mask, really the entire time he helped me he didn't bother putting one on. As a customer, I didn't need to start a fight. Luckily back of house was wearing masks so I ordered and then left ASAP. Disappointing and literally against the law rn. Tired of fighting with people about this. I also work in the restaurant business and have to wear a mask 8 hours straight, so I was even more upset. I know what the regulations are. read more

The restaurant was very busy and I was sure my food was going to take forever because I have been to other Smashburger locations and I usually have to wait like 15 minutes for my food. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that my food was delivered to me rather quickly. A young man named Brian even came over a few times to make sure I had everything I needed. He got me extra napkins and even talked to me for a short while. It's nice to know that there still are great people out there who care about the overall experience at their restaurant. You aren't just another number to them. Thank you, Brian, for the kind words and great food! I'll be back soon and I hope to run into you again! I would give 6/5 stars but Yelp wouldn't allow it. read more

Smashburger has good food. It's almost great food. I love the fact that they have fried pickle chips. Their burgers are also very good. I love the Arizona burger, somewhat just because I'm just partial to anything with Arizona in the name, but also because I like a good spicy entree. The biggest disappointment I've had was with the side salad. It costs 2.99 and it is so small. I enjoy the food, but some of it is priced higher than it should be. read more

They can be good, they can be bad, depending on the time and day. Luckily my burger was made well and the rest of my topings were fresh the only downside to my visit was that the place was a mess, messy tables, messy floors they really need to pick up after each rush it was really dirty but besides that the food was good. read more

Smashburger - I had the avocado chicken sandwich with bacon and sweet potato fries. - Burgers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love this place!! I love their Avocado BLT burger, fries, and water. Their sweet potato fries are also bomb! I've been in Tempe for about a week and realized the bad quality of water present here. Or maybe there's just really good water in California idk. Anyways this place has tasty water and there employees are super nice. read more

Giving this three stars instead of two because of the other fabulous Smashburgers I've been to around the Phoenix area. Interior was dim and felt musty/unclean (not the vibe you want when you're about to down a burger). Service was okay, but a little slow. Burgers were great! We ordered regular fries, which needed a little more flavor, so maybe go for the Smash fries next time you stop in. read more

This particular Smashburger is single-handedly ruining the image of this entire brand. The manager is so rude, and definitely shouldn't work in customer service. The quality of the food--compared to other Smashburgers--is inedible and poorly prepared. Just saw that they didn't pass their health inspection last month and I'm not in the least bit surprised. I definitely won't be throwing any more money away at this establishment. Literally any other restaurant in Tempe Marketplace is an upgrade from the experience at this unsanitary burger joint. How do you ruin a burger that's usually so good?! There are some really inept people behind the wheel here. This place really went downhill fast. read more

Decided to check out the new Smashburger today, as I've only been to the one on college (just once, parking is too annoying). The restaurant was clean, and there was plenty of seating from what I could tell, I didn't look too hard though. I'd probably guess enough for maybe 30-50 people? That staff seemed very friendly, and willing to accommodate. For the food, I had the Big (1/2 lb) Arizona Smashburger with a side of smash fries (fries with oil, rosemary, and garlic). With the burger it had a good char, and you could tell it was made fresh and not just pre-packed patty (just by the shaping of it). the meat itself didn't taste too overly seasoned, and yes you could taste it was actually meat. I quite liked the toppings, They put plenty of guacamole on it, and felt the amount of lettuce/tomato/onion was just right (for me its where you know it is there, but it isn't so prevalent you notice it the whole time). It is somewhat greasy, thankfully they give you napkins. The fries are alright, I'm not running out to go get more but I wouldn't avoid getting them either when I go. They are salty, at least to me (and I can tolerate a fair bit of salt), so be forewarned. I don't notice. The rosemary is a strong flavor you will notice right away. They don't seem to oily which is a plus. Overall I liked it, it didn't blow me away (as most burger joints don't) but I would recommend it if you aren't on a budget. It was basically $10 for my order, so like I said if you are on a budget, it is probably better to hit up an In N Out or Habit instead (best of the cheap places). If you are willing to spend a bit more, I don't think you'll do wrong with heading over to Smashburger. read more

If you want fast food burgers that are fresh and delicious this is the place to go. More seating than at ASU. Delicious and the smash fries can't be beat! However, err on the side of caution! Way greasy food, I mean- the grease drips off of the burgers and onto the paper. The shakes are fattening but that's the best kind, because they are delicious and made with real ice cream! I can not possibly recommend the milk shakes enough! They even have malts. read more

Good milkshake. The cashier was sweet. The place was a mess. And the food is WAYYYY over priced. Could have gone to red robin for cheaper and better. First time ok... But probably not a returning customer read more

Just had my first smashburger......the sin city burger! AWESOME!! FRESH, JUICY AND TASTEY! cheaper than the 5 rip off guys....i'm sold ! read more
