The Buffalo Blue Cheese chicken sandwhich is my favorite! Smash fries are great, and so is the Classic Smash. I like that they have the Four Peak's Peach Ale at a counter service restaurant. It can get pretty pricey here, but the quality of the food is fresh and the staff is very accomodating. After ordering at the counter, your food is delivered to your table and the employees seem genuine about delivering an excellent experience. You can fill out the survey on your receipt after each visit for a free fry, as well!

Disappointing!! This Smashburger is very close and i have always liked Smashburger. Sadly the one nearest to me isn't great. Undercooked haystack onions sitting in a pool of grease( and i love these, sad this location does such a lousy job), order burgers for more than one person and they come out all mixed up. One person roll with someone else's toppings etc. you shouldn't have to take apart burgers and reassemble them to get what you ordered. If you love Smashburger, try a different location unless you want to collect the handful of free fry coupons they toss at you every time they screw up

Was greeted and order taken by a Mr. Mike Kelly. Made this trip to this Smash Burger location a complete great one! TEAM MEMBERS like Mike are hard to come by. He is a great asset to this organization and I definitely will visit this location again because of this experience!

The staff they do have is great and are always a positive experience but they are certainly understaffed.they seem to always be.in the weeds during lunch. None the less the food is always great. I have been loving the new Colorado burger with green chilis..mmmmmmm!

First time I at Smash was at ASU campus. Had no idea that I would grow to like it so much. There's one by the movie theaters to so we've eaten there several times. I get the Classic Smash and the side of Smashfries (has olive oil and rosemary). Thin sliced and super good.

Great location to get to, good service and very prompt with the food. Love the smash fries, bbq bacon burger with fried egg is delish. Try the oreo shake which is always a winner. The truffle mushroom burger is also a great choice. This is above the in n out burgers and is as good as the expensive gourmet burgers at half the price. Place is very clean and friendly.

Had an Avocado Club with the Smashburger. Very tasty, plenty of Sliced Avocado!. I am signed up for their rewards program so I received a free side for Father's Day offer. Smash Fries are the thin fries, and I like them.

Average burgers over priced. No atmosphere. Some one said let's make it cheap and over charge for the food. Bam. We have a business plan. Cold beer and cheeseburgers is now a short drive away for a good burger. Or four peaks has a burger for less price Too many options in no scottsdale for this place. Burger did not settle well for a friend and i... too greasy? Too buttery? Whatever not good to be I'll the next day

I wanted a burger the other day, decided to finally give Smash Burger a try. I went for the Arizona Big Burger. Guacamole, Jalapeno. Regular Smash Fries. Large drink. While the burger was nice and juicy, tasted very fresh.....I have to say the fries just weren't my style. Super thin and oily. I enjoyed the burger, but for the $12 I spent, there are just other places to go around here. While I didn't buy one, I have to say their Beer Prices were pretty ridiculous. $3.49 for a Can of Kilt-Lifter? $2.99 for a Can of Macro Domestic? C'mon. Then again I was in SnotsDale so I can't speak for the prices at other location. Will I go back? Maybe. Next time I will skip the fries and enjoy a better than average burger.

First time visitor to a Smashburger. The location was very busy, and very loud. I got my food to go. I had a bacon burger and some of the seasoned smash fries. The burger was excellent. Nice flavors and it was actually tasty. The smash flavors were interesting. I definately would go back and order the same things.

Very disappointing to call in an order to go and show up and the order was never placed. Juggling kids, late at night, and the employee didn't offer me anything for the error/inconvenience. I would think that management would train their staff to at least offer a $5 gift card for an order over $40 or do something else to make the situation right. Food is great, service is terrible.

This location is great. Very clean interior with friendly staff. The ordering process isa little overwhelming at first (SO many choices), but our food came out deliciously. Their burgers are SO juicy and delicious. I love their smash fries w/ rosemary - unique and scrumptious. We also tried their fried pickles for the first time and I was really impressed with how tasty those were as well (not as greasy as you might expect). Prices are a little high for a burger at a fast food-ish type place, but I think it's well worth it. Would highly recommend!

We've been going to the smash burger for quite some time now when I meet my wife for lunch at work. The food is always prepared fresh and the people are friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Burgers are nice and juicy, the toppings are very fresh. Milkshakes are handspun at the time you order them. For all of their sandwiches, you can either order one of their pre-designed burgers or chicken sandwiches, make custom tweaks to those, or completely build your own burger or chicken sandwich from the ground up with their nice selection of toppings and dressings. A personal favorite is the Smashburger with the chipotle mayo and the haystack onions on top. Usually my wife and I need to get our own burgers, and split an order of the smash fries. If we're feeling extra hungry we'll add on a milkshake as well. They bring the food out to your table once it has been prepared, and every now and then someone swings by to check on how you're doing, take away the plates, and fill your drink if needed. It's like a nice combination of fast food meets dine in restaurant.

Me and my bf come here a lot due to convenience and price. There have been several times that I have watched my food sitting under the heat lamps when I ordered it to go (sitting there for 2-4min). There's been multiple times that we haven't got our full order,the staff seem to forget simple orders like a second cheese burger and will try to get you to pay for it again. Also when it's slow the assistant manager loves to play games on the customers and act like he doesn't understand people orders well walking away when you're trying to order. So far there food is ok but due to it siting under the heat lamps its a little dried out

Sharron G.
In one word... YUM! Have had a hard time finding a good burger since moving here. Have been 2 times now (sorry, neglected to write a review after time 1) and find it really tasty, considering it's made to order fast food. Burgers are juicy and tasty. I got the classic burger ('regular' size) both times. Their special sauce is yummy. Fries are really good, I always prefer shoe string so that made me happy. Get their special fries - I believe they are called Smash Fries - they truly are special and verrrry yummy! Service is good. Super nice folks working up front! We don't eat fast food (BK, McD, W types), this is way beyond that - food, quality, atmosphere, service, everything. Promise you won't be disappointed!

We hit this place up regularly for lunch and no complaints thus far. They have regular coupons if you sign up for their mailing list - so that definitely cuts down on the "gourmet" burger pricing (especially if you use the BOGO one). The staff is always friendly and moves through the sometimes hectic lunch lines pretty quickly considering there are only 2 registers to use. Pros: - good burgers (it's a burger joint first and foremost, so don't go in expecting restaurant service or fancy pants ambiance) - chocolate shake is yum - good service Cons: - a touch pricey, especially for a work lunch break (Use those coupons and go on a Friday as a treat for yourself!) - this location doesn't have the online ordering option which would be nice for a quick in-and-out if you are in a hurry Overall: A- Go in with expectations of a burger joint that isn't trying to be McDonald's, but also isn't trying to be Ruth's Chris and you'll be good to go!

Upscale gourmet burger places are popping up all over the Valley. Except this one is different! I could write about how they are better than Coal Burger(?), Five Guys or ZinBurgers, but why do that -- since they did a much better job: "While most people are eating breakfast, we''re already doing lunch -- shaping fresh 100% Certified Angus Beef® into plump meatballs. (When was our beef frozen, by the way? Try never.) "Why meatballs, not patties? Because unlike the other burger places, we don''t squish. We smash. Place your order and we spring into action, painting the grill with real butter, adding a dash of our secret spice blend, and smashing the meatball with a tool we invented ourselves (it''s so new, it doesn''t even have a name -- let''s just call it the smashing tool). Okay, their corporate marketing aside, we had a very nice time here yesterday. One of us ordered the large Smashburger Arizona, with Habanero cheese, quacamole, jalapeños on their spicy chipotle bun for $6.99(photo), along with the French Fries for $2.29(photo). Ohh, was that good! We also ordered the large Mushroom Swiss Smashburger for $6.99, and the Haystack Onions for $2.29. Everything was outstanding and yummy. Yummy? Yes, yummy! Like, why waste your time going somewhere else yummy! Oh, yeah the bill for two came to $22. Did I mention that Smashburger was an upscale gourmet burger place? But that did include drinks and some sides. I know that might be too Richie Rich$$ for some, so you can drive down FLW to In 'n Out and order it Animal Style. But if you do, you will be missing an outstanding and delicious burger! LOL Enjoy!

I have been to the smash burger a few times now and I was never disappointed. The food is always prepared fresh and the people are friendly. The Burgers are nice and juicy, the toppings are very fresh and you can do pretty much any combination you want. I would also recommend the garlic fries over the regular fries which seemed a little bland to me. But the garlic ones were crisp and tasty. They bring the food to your table and check in with you if you need anything else. They are a little on the pricey side especially after you super-size the meal which I recommend on doing if you are hungry. I also like the location conveniently at the 101 and right next to one of my favorite sushi places. A cupcake shop is right next door if you have a sweet tooth after your Burger.

It's a great place for a burger. The meat is very good quality and the hamburger comes very well cooked and juicy. The ingredients are fresh and you have a lot of choices with the burgers and with chicken. I had the avocado and bacon burger and it was fantastic. The smash fries are wonderful with the rosemary and olive oil. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for a great burger or chicken sandwich.

The Original Smashburger is super tasty but also very sloppy. Maybe I put on too much ketchup and mustard. Still a great deal. And close to AZ On The Rocks Gym.

I am reviewing not on the food itself, because it's good, but rather the employees... Was not pleased to see an employee from the front, go to the back, put gloves on, then lift up his hat and scratch his head WITH the gloves on, then put the hat back on and NOT change his gloves while he continued to help the other cooks.....this is not the first time I have seen this either at this location.....regretfully, I will not be returning again....this is just completely unacceptable to me in food service, and quite frankly......disgusting.....:-((

I just had the worst experience at this place . I was 3 people back in the line at it took 20 minutes to reach the register to pick up my now ice cold burgers and fries. No urgency by the teenage staff and no concern over my wait and experience. The food is no better than any fast food burger place but a lot more money. If you want a fast food burger , go to In And Out. Skip the bad service and cold food at Smashburger.

This is my third visit to this location and my 5th visit to the Smashburger chain. I have never been disappointed by the food or the staff. Friendly, helpful employees take your order, deliver your food and clear your table - they don't seem to hover but are so attentive and friendly!!! I have ordered the Classic Smashburger with fries every time I have been because it is so delicious! I keep telling myself to try something else but this is the freshest, best burger I have had in so long I just have to have it when I go there. The fries are delicious and my daughter loves the chicken tenders! Finish your meal off with one of their delicious milkshakes! You won't be disappointed ! Great job!

If you're looking for a great burger with a great milk shake on the side then this is your place. The Original smash with added fresh jalapeños is usually what I get. I top it off with a chocolate Oreo Shake and then I complete my chubby decision to eat here.

I love the menu at Smashburger because there are plenty of healthy options. And my wife loves that they offer a gluten free bun. Burgers are consistently good and the service is always great at this location. I have used Smash&Dash the last two times I was there. Order ahead on my phone, skip the line and then eat in or take it to go. Slick. Removing one star only because our order has been incorrect both times we used Smash&Dash.

This location just opened in the past year. I've had Smashburger before, when I lived in Vegas. I finally got around to eating at this location. I decided to order the Arizona Big Smashburger, $6.99 and Fries, $1.99. yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… The Arizona Big Smashburger is pretty good...comes with Guacamole and fresh cut Jalapenos. It has a nice kick to it....and tastes different than most Burgers you find out there. The Guacamole is fresh and rich....adds a creamy smooth texture and compliments the sharpness of the Jalapeno. The Fries are average at best. This place gets very busy. To avoid the crowds, try coming between meal periods. Also, the parking lot can get nuts here because it's way too small for this shopping center.....I avoid it on the weekends. Return Factor - 88%

I get the Arizona burger with a black bean party. Its awesome but always falls apart when I eat it. Sweet pot fries are good. Do not order the veggie fries, they taste like they have been marinating in oil and are not crispy. I've never had a milkshake here but they look great and have a lot of flavors to choose from.

A yearning for a chargrilled burger led me to find Smashburger. Although not charcoal grilled, I ordered "The Classic" which turned out to be one of the tastiest burger I have had in a while. Served on a tray with themed paper, it was adorned with fresh lettuce, tomato, Smash-sauce, pickles, cheese, and red onions sliced really thin. Really juicy and tasty. The regular fries I ordered were thin, crispy with a sprinkling of salt. My granddaughter had the Smash-fries which were garnished with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. These were incredible. I had to steal some away from her. The service is quick and friendly---Pay first, find your table and then they find you. The only negative was a nasty wasp annoying us since we sat outside on such a beautiful day. All in all it is a great value for a great meal. We will be back....

I was really disappointed with my burger. It's 5.99 for just the burger and it was made pretty poorly. The atmosphere there is pretty laid back but if your looking for a meal I don't recommend going here. Instead, you can go to a place like in n out burger and get a whole meal for the same price.

Hank J.
I wholeheartedly recommend this Smashburger location; in fact their Arizona burger with extra jalepenos is the bomb. The employees should serve as role models for some restaurants in Scottsdale; always been treated with courtesy and respect. I always feel welcome and they have a sense of humor. Professionals with class! Great burgers and fries and shakes! I'll keep coming back!!!!!!

Love smashburger! Great taste, great price, and great staff! Try the shakes if you never have, they're amazing. Try avoiding 12-1:30, parking is limited due to all the lunch spots. Other than that, this place rocks.

I have to say that I've been to plenty of Smashburgers so I knew what to expect when I visited this location. Sadly, my family and I were really disappointed. First, we went to get our drinks while they cooked our food and the drink station was filthy. Not just dirty but FILTHY. Trash, dried soda and, here is the kicked, HAIR!!!!!!!! It was disgusting. I told an employee they may want to clean up the station in a kind manner but he was more annoyed than anything. Food was good but the chicken strips was a chicken breast cut into two pieces and deep fried, my daughter wouldn't touch it. Smash fries had NO seasoning on it and yes, we did ask if we got the right fries, they said yes. It was just a really bad experience and I hope if you read this Smashburger, you make sure to keep the drink station area clean and hair free.

I love this place! The Arizona burger is perfect! This is the burger joint that I bring my family and friends from out of town! I love the convenience of the location as well! Very yummy food! The smash fries are the best and a must order when you go! Once in a while I will treat myself to a shake but sometimes it is hard to resist! Also it is right across from the Camden #apartments that I live at so it is a great go to for a Burger night or quick lunch!Thumbs up Smashburger! #scottsdaleaz #scottsdalelife #camdenliving #camdenlegacy

Their burger is great! We go there all the time and we order different things off the menu and they are all great. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is not fast food. I think I would call it casual dining. They are slower than In and Out but about the speed of 5 Guys. Better than both IMHO.

The Smashfries are DEFREEKINGLICIOUS!!! I also loved the grilled Arizona Chicken Smashburger sandwich. I have also had the classic Smashburger with their yummy Smashburger sauce. So good! I also really appreciate the ability to order a smaller meat portion burger. Their malts are also verrrry good. Highly recommend! Not really diet food though haha!

Yummy! Much better than fast food fare. Don't you dare leave without an order of Sweet Potato Smashfries. OMG. Delish! It doesn't hurt that GiGi's Cupcakes is two doors down. Somebody grab the burgers while someone else nabs the dessert. Some things work out perfectly!

Was so disappointed eating lunch here. The fries were soggy and way too greasy. Also, I ordered a Salted Caramel Shake, and it was brought to the table in a takeaway cup, even though we were eating in, and our food was on a metal plate. The cup was half full, and mostly made up of whipped cream. For $5, that's unacceptable! About 10 minutes later, we saw another customer receive their shake in a glass cup, WITH even more in a metal tin! What is going on with this place?! Consistency? The burger was nice, but overall it was a bad experience.

Ellen S.
We were disappointed. For our fast the burger was too juicy...but as a result of their cooking style. This caused our hamburger bun to get soggy. The serving of french fries was small. The ambiance was nice. But too expensive for the quality of food.

I passed this place a few days ago and it looked like it was already open. I stopped in tonight for the first time and was told that they just opened yesterday. This is a nice location with a patio. I like what this plaza did with the traffic flow too. This Smashburger did not disappoint because I got Smashed tonight. I had a regular smashburger with grilled onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet relish and mustard on an egg bun. The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, what more could you want.

I love this place when I'm craving a burger. My favorite is the Arizona with extra jalapeño . Fresh, crispy, tangy jalapeño. Add to that the fried pickles served with ranch and you have the foundation for any food pyramid. The service is always good even when busy, but there may be a line. Someone on Yelp said something about price; yea, there's no 99 cent menu if thats what your looking for.

this isn't fast food, but it's darn close. Far better than In n' Out, this has great burgers with enough variety that you can count more than 3 items on the menu. Stay away from the shakes. They sound good but are liquidy, tasteless, and too small.

Masha Z.
Back in the good ol' meat eating days, this place was bomb-diggity. I love the custom burger option, and it's really wonderful to have a ton of different bread styles. That might be my favorite part. Unfortunately for me, I am fairly uncreative when I am left to my own devices, so they have some great specialty burgers to offer too. Deliciously addicting fries, zesty soda's, and top of the line service. Best "cheap burger" place, hands down.

Krystle N.
Love this place and let me tell you why, not only is it because of the food-- It's the customer service I get at this place!!! It had been a while since I have been in and I mean months, Emily remembered my name and what I order! She IS the definition of what customer service is. Yes I understand its hard remembering names and what each person orders. But no matter what she always has a smile on her face and talks the same way to each person! She is going to go far in life no matter where or what she ends up doing! Thank you! And thank you Smashburger for making excellent choices when you hire people. Now on to the food- The "Smash Fries" have rosemary and olive oil on them... they are a great change from your normal everyday fries. The Arizona Burger is really tasty, hot jalapenos piled high (I love this), habanero cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, purple onion, chipotle mayo, all on a chipotle bun. Plus++++ if you join their club they send amazing coupons to you!

Smashburger is one of those places that I'd always wanted to try but just got around to it last week. There is a location close to my office so I grabbed some lunch for a couple of people. I picked up a couple of burgers and for myself got the Arizona Chicken burger with smash fries. It held up by the time I got to my office and sat down to eat. There is a lot of heat in this sandwich, which is what I was looking for so I was very pleased. I also really liked the smash fries, nice and crispy and nice seasoning. I'll definitely be back.

Horrible service. After waiting 15 minutes in line, I ordered my food & sat down to wait. Before sitting down, I specify to the gentleman working the counter I wanted smash fries, opposed to regular fries. He acknowledged I said this & then yelled it to kitchen worker. I go to sit down, and they also tell me there's no bacon available for my bacon cheeseburger. I ask for a substitution or a refund of the dollar I spent on that bacon. Also requested a peice of lettuce because at this point my food had come out with regular fries. I Got neither, the young man avoided my table for the remainder of the evening & left unsatisfied and irritated. . I will NEVER eat at this mismanaged restaurant.

First time was the last time. It wasn't so bad. But, after eating there, my Wife says to me, "Would you ever come back here?" Answer was a definitive no! Hence, the 2 star rating. Burger was really greasy, sweet potato fries were... Merhhhh... Onion rings (Haystacks) were very thin and, just... Mehhhh. I also don't like this new trend of fast food restaurants pretending to be gourmet dining, with no service. It's another do it yourself deal, and for 24 bucks for two, I want a waiter or waitress, thanks very much. One & done, Smashburger. See ya!

Received a BOGO coupon and decided to give Smashburger a try. Still wondering how all these burger places manage to put a new spin on a burger - seems like every new opening is a NEW burger place here. This location is in a new little strip mall at 101/FLW - it has about 5 food joints all lined up so take your pick - sushi, Vietnamese rice bowl, cupcakes, subs, burgers.... Smashburger is kind of a trendy smallish place, they take your order and deliver to your table in reuseable paper-lined wire baskets. I tried the Classic Chicken sandwich. I had no expectations but was really impressed - smashed flat chicken breast perfectly seasoned with the standard lettuce, tomato, onion on top. Very fresh with a real lettuce leaf, not that shredded iceburg stuff. Served on a whole-wheat bun. He ordered a Classic cheeseburger that was juicy and well dressed, no complaints. We split an order of fries - cooked to perfection. So I can't say I tried the most inventive item on the menu, but I feel Smashburger delivered a very good meal. Call me a new fan, I'll be back.

David G.
Burger joints that purport to be something special abound these days, and burgers are on the menu in many "fine" restaurants. Is Smashburger any different? I guess not. Its menu is burgers. You can pick the toppings. They have french fries and sweet potato fries, shakes, drinks, and a few salads. But Smashburger has an edge on most of its competitors - the burgers themselves are juicy and tasty. This may be because they use (they say) fresh meat, "smashed" to order. Also a bit above average: the bacon, the fries, the courtesy of the order takers. With no outstanding negatives to offset these, Smashburger moves up into the four star range, as compared to other burger joints. When will it all end?

Michael H.
Good solid and friendly service. The BiG Smashburger was delicious. Good comes out fresh and fast. The burger was juicy and one of the best around. The chocolate shake was sooooo good, I gave myself a brain freeze and it was worth every ounce of pain. Well played Smashburger...well played.

This is my favorite fast food burger spot around. They have some great healthier options like a multigrain bun, chicken sandwiches and salads. They easily have the best fries around too. Love the Smash fries and sweet potato fries. I just wish they stayed open a little later week nights.

Lisa C.
Our fourth satisfactory trip to Smashburger seals the deal as far as my review is concerned. Though there isn't much variety on the menu, they offer a lot of great choices to customize what you're getting - you can even choose what type of bun you get. The burgers are great, black bean burger is excellent, fries and onion rings are awesome and they have really good shakes. The one and only complaint I have so far is they are a little stingy with the blue cheese when it has been my cheese of choice. A solid spot for burgers.

So this was my first time having a Smash burger and man do I have to say that I freakin loved it!!!! The flavor that explodes in your mouth is absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the Arizona and what a nice spice kick to it and very flavorful!!! I also order the sweet potato fries and they were ok nothing ridiculously good. After all set and done I got the bill and realized its $9.02 with tax, kinda was thinking to my self did I just really spend that much on a burger with some fries? Yes I apparently did haha. I wish they were cheaper lets say $5.99 + tax = ( 3/4lb burger + fries ) would be nice. ARE YOU READING THIS SMASH??? Any way I was impressed so impressed I ended up going back a second time two nights in a row, got the original and that was flavorful too!!!! Thanks again SMASH!!!! Ciao, Luca

Was not impressed at all, I wouldn't call this a Gourmet Burger, and they are expensive! didn't like the way the meat tasted, too salty, and the french fries were ok, we ordered the Rosemary,Olive oil, and Garlic fries, my husband loves Burgers, but we will not go back ! this was the second time we had tried them! I will say the Staff was Great, too bad their Burgers are not Great ! We would rather go to In In Out, or Five Guys ! They have really Loud Music playing also, which is not very pleasant, my husband and I could barely hear each other talk !

Above average burger, but over priced compared to the other burger places in the Valley. I ordered the Classic Smash with the haystack onion rings. They put the smash sauce on the side, which is good, since I really didn't care for it too much. The onion rings were thinly cut, but a tad to greasy. If you plan on going a lot, sign up for the Smash club and they'll send you coupons for a free side.

Burger, fries, soda, with tax = $9.66 Order at register, take a plastic sign to table and wait 10 minutes or longer for the food to be delivered. (for dine-in) Plastic cup is provided you cannot carry out, so you can only drink it in the store. Food served in rigid steel wire rectangular baskets with paper liner. Rough edges are uncomfortable on the wrists. Thin thin fries are tedious to eat and not very flavor-full. Music is loud, forget intimate conversation or a peaceful meal. Burgers are slightly above average. I suggest Culver's as a substitute for better fries and a paper cup you can take home. This business is designed to appeal to teenagers ONLY, not grown-ups. If you are over age 20 stay away, you won't like it. If you like smashed burgers try Culver's, it's essentially the same burger patty after cooking. Upscale? Sure! (As long as your definition of 'up-scale' includes Taco Bell) This place is nothing more than just another fast food chain burger joint appealing to teenagers.

Not a fan. The burger was greasy and the meat, flavorless. I opted for the Arizona, so the only saving grace were the semi-spicy toppings. The staff definitely doesn't look like they enjoy being there and as another yelper said, the decor reminds me more of a carwash than a burger joint. For the price it costs to go there I'd definitely recommend taking your money and driving to the In-n-out nearby. Heck for a few dollars more you can head over to Four Peaks and have a REALLY good burger.

I really like this place for "fast" food without feeling like you are at a McDonalds. You order your food at the counter and pay there and they bring it to you at the table, but will come to your table again to see if they can get you anything else. I have been here many times now for dinner when I just wanted a quick, fairly inexpensive meal, and it is consistent and reliable. I have only had chicken sandwiches but each one has been great. I'm also told the burgers are good. I love the sweet potato fries. The milkshakes are also fantastic. They sell beer which is a nice plus over typical fast food places.

This place is not good and not worth the prices. I suggest you drive up the street to In-N-Out and save yourself some $$ The burger menu is over hyped and Smashburger doesn't deliver. Please don't use truffle mayo and call the burger a truffle burger. You are not Umami. The buns here are soggy and gross, and the meat here is tasteless. Don't go here.

Second time at this location and cold fries again. Over $45 for 2 adults & 2 kids and I didn't order a side. Burgers & chicken sandwich were okay but it's pricey. For the $ there are better choices with table service.

I have been wanting to check this place out for quite a while. I finally had a chance to go and get a classic Smashburger. When I first walked in I was presently surprised with the modern decor! Large HDTV's for the menu, modern dining room. I thought it was all great. When I got my burger I was disappointed by how messy it was. Also, the portion of fires you get are a bit disappointing. Other then that, Smashburger is a great burger joint.

I just scrolled through the reviews and I am shocked. Someone really likes this place? It was a huge disappointment. The food was below adverage. In and out is much better. The price is fine the fries never showed up so I can't say. Two stars at the absolute most. I may , if desperate, try a chicken sandwich. It was a greasy disgusting hamburger, I did not take the leftovers for my dog. The ambiance is car wash. The help are looking suicidal.

Good burger place. Beats In n Out and five guys.

The burgers here were really good. I guess the "smash" really gave the patty a nice sear on the outside. I'm always worried if you smash the patty of the burger, you might dry it out. But it was very juicy and a bit on the greasy side even but not too much. But if you are a burger lover, juiciness and a bit of greasiness is what you are looking for anyway. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were really good as well. The only thing I think that would make this place better is a better choice of buns, like brioche and pretzel buns just to name a few.

Foods not bad but the price is just insane. I can get a much bigger and better burger in Los Angeles.

Albert H.
$12 for burger, fries, and soda. Unbelievable how much some of these "nicer" fast food places charge. Added jalapenos to my burger and it was just four little rings in the middle. What kind of add-on topping value is that? On top of this, the habanero cheese isn't really hot at all. Parking is atrocious since it shares spots with Jimmy Johns and others.

ok i'm editing my review, i now love this place, been addicted for past week....must have just been a bad experience the first time i went! ps: if you dont like your stuff salty just order it with mild seasoning

Awesome burger. I had one in Ohio about two years ago and loved it. For only being open two days, this place was humming and the staff had their business down. My order came out perfect and quick. The AZ burger was awesome. Not too spicy, but very good balanced flavor with each bite. The smash sweet potato fries were just delicious. Tossed in salt, olive oil and rosemary, still crunchy, and nice and sweet. I'm glad we have one close to work now!

The Big AZ is big and greasy! Tastes good too!

Very pleasant burger joint for the more sophisticated taste buds! You form a queue to order, fill your drink and grab a seat. Staff bring your food out and even bus your table. Our family ordered smash fries and regular fries, kids' cheeseburger, grilled cheese, an Arizona burger, standard cheeseburger and a salty-caramel milkshake. All of it was delicious! Kids ate it up. I love the Arizona burger--just the perfect amount of fresh crunch and spice. Yum!

Much better than five guys not even comparable. Enjoyed 3 meals at Smashburger recently.

I have gone here for lunch twice now and really liked it! The first time I got a goat cheese salad with chicken and the second time I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Our food was delivered in less than 10 min. (which is a must when you are on an hour break from work) and the staff was very nice. The atmosphere is nice, casual, and clean and the prices are about average for lunch. The only negative would be that the salad was somewhat small for the price...they just need to add more spring mix or spinach since the toppings were plenty, but the chicken was cooked perfect. I am very critical when it comes to chicken and it was not veiny or chewy, which is really important since I always worry about chicken being undercooked. The sweet potato fries were also amazing and not too greasy. I have yet to try the burgers (which is weird since this is a burger joint) but I will be sure to update if I do!

The Buffalo Blue Cheese chicken sandwhich is my favorite! Smash fries are great, and so is the Classic Smash. I like that they have the Four Peak's Peach Ale at a counter service restaurant. It can get pretty pricey here, but the quality of the food is fresh and the staff is very accomodating. After ordering at the counter, your food is delivered to your table and the employees seem genuine about delivering an excellent experience. You can fill out the survey on your receipt after each visit for a free fry, as well!
(4)Cindy B.
Disappointing!! This Smashburger is very close and i have always liked Smashburger. Sadly the one nearest to me isn't great. Undercooked haystack onions sitting in a pool of grease( and i love these, sad this location does such a lousy job), order burgers for more than one person and they come out all mixed up. One person roll with someone else's toppings etc. you shouldn't have to take apart burgers and reassemble them to get what you ordered. If you love Smashburger, try a different location unless you want to collect the handful of free fry coupons they toss at you every time they screw up
(3)Pedro V.
Was greeted and order taken by a Mr. Mike Kelly. Made this trip to this Smash Burger location a complete great one! TEAM MEMBERS like Mike are hard to come by. He is a great asset to this organization and I definitely will visit this location again because of this experience!
(5)Aaron L.
The staff they do have is great and are always a positive experience but they are certainly understaffed.they seem to always be.in the weeds during lunch. None the less the food is always great. I have been loving the new Colorado burger with green chilis..mmmmmmm!
(4)C L.
First time I at Smash was at ASU campus. Had no idea that I would grow to like it so much. There's one by the movie theaters to so we've eaten there several times. I get the Classic Smash and the side of Smashfries (has olive oil and rosemary). Thin sliced and super good.
(5)Dwayne O.
Great location to get to, good service and very prompt with the food. Love the smash fries, bbq bacon burger with fried egg is delish. Try the oreo shake which is always a winner. The truffle mushroom burger is also a great choice. This is above the in n out burgers and is as good as the expensive gourmet burgers at half the price. Place is very clean and friendly.
(4)Tom L.
Had an Avocado Club with the Smashburger. Very tasty, plenty of Sliced Avocado!. I am signed up for their rewards program so I received a free side for Father's Day offer. Smash Fries are the thin fries, and I like them.
(5)Adam H.
Average burgers over priced. No atmosphere. Some one said let's make it cheap and over charge for the food. Bam. We have a business plan. Cold beer and cheeseburgers is now a short drive away for a good burger. Or four peaks has a burger for less price Too many options in no scottsdale for this place. Burger did not settle well for a friend and i... too greasy? Too buttery? Whatever not good to be I'll the next day
(2)Robert T.
The smash burger & chicken avocado club along with smash fries were very delicious. 1st time customer. The place was very clean, a bit cold but what do u expect in AZ.
(4)Clint B.
I wanted a burger the other day, decided to finally give Smash Burger a try. I went for the Arizona Big Burger. Guacamole, Jalapeno. Regular Smash Fries. Large drink. While the burger was nice and juicy, tasted very fresh.....I have to say the fries just weren't my style. Super thin and oily. I enjoyed the burger, but for the $12 I spent, there are just other places to go around here. While I didn't buy one, I have to say their Beer Prices were pretty ridiculous. $3.49 for a Can of Kilt-Lifter? $2.99 for a Can of Macro Domestic? C'mon. Then again I was in SnotsDale so I can't speak for the prices at other location. Will I go back? Maybe. Next time I will skip the fries and enjoy a better than average burger.
(3)Dennis L.
First time visitor to a Smashburger. The location was very busy, and very loud. I got my food to go. I had a bacon burger and some of the seasoned smash fries. The burger was excellent. Nice flavors and it was actually tasty. The smash flavors were interesting. I definately would go back and order the same things.
(4)Julie S.
Very disappointing to call in an order to go and show up and the order was never placed. Juggling kids, late at night, and the employee didn't offer me anything for the error/inconvenience. I would think that management would train their staff to at least offer a $5 gift card for an order over $40 or do something else to make the situation right. Food is great, service is terrible.
(1)Teri L.
Very enthusiastic employees, great service. I appreciate Smashburger for having gluten free buns. Their personal Smashburger ketchup isn't great, definitely not Heinz.
(4)Jessica K.
This location is great. Very clean interior with friendly staff. The ordering process isa little overwhelming at first (SO many choices), but our food came out deliciously. Their burgers are SO juicy and delicious. I love their smash fries w/ rosemary - unique and scrumptious. We also tried their fried pickles for the first time and I was really impressed with how tasty those were as well (not as greasy as you might expect). Prices are a little high for a burger at a fast food-ish type place, but I think it's well worth it. Would highly recommend!
(5)Robbie G.
We've been going to the smash burger for quite some time now when I meet my wife for lunch at work. The food is always prepared fresh and the people are friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Burgers are nice and juicy, the toppings are very fresh. Milkshakes are handspun at the time you order them. For all of their sandwiches, you can either order one of their pre-designed burgers or chicken sandwiches, make custom tweaks to those, or completely build your own burger or chicken sandwich from the ground up with their nice selection of toppings and dressings. A personal favorite is the Smashburger with the chipotle mayo and the haystack onions on top. Usually my wife and I need to get our own burgers, and split an order of the smash fries. If we're feeling extra hungry we'll add on a milkshake as well. They bring the food out to your table once it has been prepared, and every now and then someone swings by to check on how you're doing, take away the plates, and fill your drink if needed. It's like a nice combination of fast food meets dine in restaurant.
(4)Chelsea W.
Me and my bf come here a lot due to convenience and price. There have been several times that I have watched my food sitting under the heat lamps when I ordered it to go (sitting there for 2-4min). There's been multiple times that we haven't got our full order,the staff seem to forget simple orders like a second cheese burger and will try to get you to pay for it again. Also when it's slow the assistant manager loves to play games on the customers and act like he doesn't understand people orders well walking away when you're trying to order. So far there food is ok but due to it siting under the heat lamps its a little dried out
(3)Sharron G.
In one word... YUM! Have had a hard time finding a good burger since moving here. Have been 2 times now (sorry, neglected to write a review after time 1) and find it really tasty, considering it's made to order fast food. Burgers are juicy and tasty. I got the classic burger ('regular' size) both times. Their special sauce is yummy. Fries are really good, I always prefer shoe string so that made me happy. Get their special fries - I believe they are called Smash Fries - they truly are special and verrrry yummy! Service is good. Super nice folks working up front! We don't eat fast food (BK, McD, W types), this is way beyond that - food, quality, atmosphere, service, everything. Promise you won't be disappointed!
(4)Stacy F.
We hit this place up regularly for lunch and no complaints thus far. They have regular coupons if you sign up for their mailing list - so that definitely cuts down on the "gourmet" burger pricing (especially if you use the BOGO one). The staff is always friendly and moves through the sometimes hectic lunch lines pretty quickly considering there are only 2 registers to use. Pros: - good burgers (it's a burger joint first and foremost, so don't go in expecting restaurant service or fancy pants ambiance) - chocolate shake is yum - good service Cons: - a touch pricey, especially for a work lunch break (Use those coupons and go on a Friday as a treat for yourself!) - this location doesn't have the online ordering option which would be nice for a quick in-and-out if you are in a hurry Overall: A- Go in with expectations of a burger joint that isn't trying to be McDonald's, but also isn't trying to be Ruth's Chris and you'll be good to go!
(4)Craig C.
Good vibe clean space. They messed up one of our burger orders but replaced instantly no questions asked and provided free coupons for sides on next visit. Smart casual quick priced right. We will be back.

Upscale gourmet burger places are popping up all over the Valley. Except this one is different! I could write about how they are better than Coal Burger(?), Five Guys or ZinBurgers, but why do that -- since they did a much better job: "While most people are eating breakfast, we''re already doing lunch -- shaping fresh 100% Certified Angus Beef® into plump meatballs. (When was our beef frozen, by the way? Try never.) "Why meatballs, not patties? Because unlike the other burger places, we don''t squish. We smash. Place your order and we spring into action, painting the grill with real butter, adding a dash of our secret spice blend, and smashing the meatball with a tool we invented ourselves (it''s so new, it doesn''t even have a name -- let''s just call it the smashing tool). Okay, their corporate marketing aside, we had a very nice time here yesterday. One of us ordered the large Smashburger Arizona, with Habanero cheese, quacamole, jalapeños on their spicy chipotle bun for $6.99(photo), along with the French Fries for $2.29(photo). Ohh, was that good! We also ordered the large Mushroom Swiss Smashburger for $6.99, and the Haystack Onions for $2.29. Everything was outstanding and yummy. Yummy? Yes, yummy! Like, why waste your time going somewhere else yummy! Oh, yeah the bill for two came to $22. Did I mention that Smashburger was an upscale gourmet burger place? But that did include drinks and some sides. I know that might be too Richie Rich$$ for some, so you can drive down FLW to In 'n Out and order it Animal Style. But if you do, you will be missing an outstanding and delicious burger! LOL Enjoy!
(4)Jochen W.
I have been to the smash burger a few times now and I was never disappointed. The food is always prepared fresh and the people are friendly. The Burgers are nice and juicy, the toppings are very fresh and you can do pretty much any combination you want. I would also recommend the garlic fries over the regular fries which seemed a little bland to me. But the garlic ones were crisp and tasty. They bring the food to your table and check in with you if you need anything else. They are a little on the pricey side especially after you super-size the meal which I recommend on doing if you are hungry. I also like the location conveniently at the 101 and right next to one of my favorite sushi places. A cupcake shop is right next door if you have a sweet tooth after your Burger.
(4)Ashton A.
It's a great place for a burger. The meat is very good quality and the hamburger comes very well cooked and juicy. The ingredients are fresh and you have a lot of choices with the burgers and with chicken. I had the avocado and bacon burger and it was fantastic. The smash fries are wonderful with the rosemary and olive oil. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for a great burger or chicken sandwich.
(4)Jason A.
The Original Smashburger is super tasty but also very sloppy. Maybe I put on too much ketchup and mustard. Still a great deal. And close to AZ On The Rocks Gym.
(5)Sarah B.
I am reviewing not on the food itself, because it's good, but rather the employees... Was not pleased to see an employee from the front, go to the back, put gloves on, then lift up his hat and scratch his head WITH the gloves on, then put the hat back on and NOT change his gloves while he continued to help the other cooks.....this is not the first time I have seen this either at this location.....regretfully, I will not be returning again....this is just completely unacceptable to me in food service, and quite frankly......disgusting.....:-((
(1)Tony V.
I just had the worst experience at this place . I was 3 people back in the line at it took 20 minutes to reach the register to pick up my now ice cold burgers and fries. No urgency by the teenage staff and no concern over my wait and experience. The food is no better than any fast food burger place but a lot more money. If you want a fast food burger , go to In And Out. Skip the bad service and cold food at Smashburger.
(1)K N.
Delicious food. Kind of pricey, but the quality tastes better than some of their competitors. The sweet potato fries are so delicious! The entire staff has always been friendly, helpful, and fast.
(4)Laura C.
This is my third visit to this location and my 5th visit to the Smashburger chain. I have never been disappointed by the food or the staff. Friendly, helpful employees take your order, deliver your food and clear your table - they don't seem to hover but are so attentive and friendly!!! I have ordered the Classic Smashburger with fries every time I have been because it is so delicious! I keep telling myself to try something else but this is the freshest, best burger I have had in so long I just have to have it when I go there. The fries are delicious and my daughter loves the chicken tenders! Finish your meal off with one of their delicious milkshakes! You won't be disappointed ! Great job!
(5)Lori K.
Very tasty burgers. Fries weren't so good, but weren't awful.
(4)Marco D.
If you're looking for a great burger with a great milk shake on the side then this is your place. The Original smash with added fresh jalapeños is usually what I get. I top it off with a chocolate Oreo Shake and then I complete my chubby decision to eat here.
(4)Sabrina J.
The burgers are always greasy here and the staff is rude. They also kicked us out 10 minutes before close.
(1)J U.
I love the menu at Smashburger because there are plenty of healthy options. And my wife loves that they offer a gluten free bun. Burgers are consistently good and the service is always great at this location. I have used Smash&Dash the last two times I was there. Order ahead on my phone, skip the line and then eat in or take it to go. Slick. Removing one star only because our order has been incorrect both times we used Smash&Dash.
(4)Roy P.
1st time at this location. Very friendly people and nice too. Great service and their manager is funny :D

This location just opened in the past year. I've had Smashburger before, when I lived in Vegas. I finally got around to eating at this location. I decided to order the Arizona Big Smashburger, $6.99 and Fries, $1.99. yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… yelp.com/biz_photos/smas… The Arizona Big Smashburger is pretty good...comes with Guacamole and fresh cut Jalapenos. It has a nice kick to it....and tastes different than most Burgers you find out there. The Guacamole is fresh and rich....adds a creamy smooth texture and compliments the sharpness of the Jalapeno. The Fries are average at best. This place gets very busy. To avoid the crowds, try coming between meal periods. Also, the parking lot can get nuts here because it's way too small for this shopping center.....I avoid it on the weekends. Return Factor - 88%
(4)Sarah L.
I get the Arizona burger with a black bean party. Its awesome but always falls apart when I eat it. Sweet pot fries are good. Do not order the veggie fries, they taste like they have been marinating in oil and are not crispy. I've never had a milkshake here but they look great and have a lot of flavors to choose from.
(3)Carina V.
Black bean burger was delightful. Love the smash fries! Jared is such an awesome person! First time at this location and I was very satisfied. Super friendly, outgoing, and courteous.
(5)Yvonne G.
A yearning for a chargrilled burger led me to find Smashburger. Although not charcoal grilled, I ordered "The Classic" which turned out to be one of the tastiest burger I have had in a while. Served on a tray with themed paper, it was adorned with fresh lettuce, tomato, Smash-sauce, pickles, cheese, and red onions sliced really thin. Really juicy and tasty. The regular fries I ordered were thin, crispy with a sprinkling of salt. My granddaughter had the Smash-fries which were garnished with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. These were incredible. I had to steal some away from her. The service is quick and friendly---Pay first, find your table and then they find you. The only negative was a nasty wasp annoying us since we sat outside on such a beautiful day. All in all it is a great value for a great meal. We will be back....
(5)Chad S.
I was really disappointed with my burger. It's 5.99 for just the burger and it was made pretty poorly. The atmosphere there is pretty laid back but if your looking for a meal I don't recommend going here. Instead, you can go to a place like in n out burger and get a whole meal for the same price.
(2)Hank J.
I wholeheartedly recommend this Smashburger location; in fact their Arizona burger with extra jalepenos is the bomb. The employees should serve as role models for some restaurants in Scottsdale; always been treated with courtesy and respect. I always feel welcome and they have a sense of humor. Professionals with class! Great burgers and fries and shakes! I'll keep coming back!!!!!!
(5)Bryce B.
Love smashburger! Great taste, great price, and great staff! Try the shakes if you never have, they're amazing. Try avoiding 12-1:30, parking is limited due to all the lunch spots. Other than that, this place rocks.
(5)Jenifer R.
I have to say that I've been to plenty of Smashburgers so I knew what to expect when I visited this location. Sadly, my family and I were really disappointed. First, we went to get our drinks while they cooked our food and the drink station was filthy. Not just dirty but FILTHY. Trash, dried soda and, here is the kicked, HAIR!!!!!!!! It was disgusting. I told an employee they may want to clean up the station in a kind manner but he was more annoyed than anything. Food was good but the chicken strips was a chicken breast cut into two pieces and deep fried, my daughter wouldn't touch it. Smash fries had NO seasoning on it and yes, we did ask if we got the right fries, they said yes. It was just a really bad experience and I hope if you read this Smashburger, you make sure to keep the drink station area clean and hair free.
(1)Alex S.
I love this place! The Arizona burger is perfect! This is the burger joint that I bring my family and friends from out of town! I love the convenience of the location as well! Very yummy food! The smash fries are the best and a must order when you go! Once in a while I will treat myself to a shake but sometimes it is hard to resist! Also it is right across from the Camden #apartments that I live at so it is a great go to for a Burger night or quick lunch!Thumbs up Smashburger! #scottsdaleaz #scottsdalelife #camdenliving #camdenlegacy
(5)Jay L.
Service at this Smashburger is outstanding and the food is great. I had some service issues with another location and I have to give kudos to the customer service team at Smashburger. They really showed they cared. Keep up the great work.
(5)Sol T.
Their burger is great! We go there all the time and we order different things off the menu and they are all great. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is not fast food. I think I would call it casual dining. They are slower than In and Out but about the speed of 5 Guys. Better than both IMHO.
(5)Trish B.
The Smashfries are DEFREEKINGLICIOUS!!! I also loved the grilled Arizona Chicken Smashburger sandwich. I have also had the classic Smashburger with their yummy Smashburger sauce. So good! I also really appreciate the ability to order a smaller meat portion burger. Their malts are also verrrry good. Highly recommend! Not really diet food though haha!
(5)Pamela K.
Yummy! Much better than fast food fare. Don't you dare leave without an order of Sweet Potato Smashfries. OMG. Delish! It doesn't hurt that GiGi's Cupcakes is two doors down. Somebody grab the burgers while someone else nabs the dessert. Some things work out perfectly!
(4)Peter O.
Was so disappointed eating lunch here. The fries were soggy and way too greasy. Also, I ordered a Salted Caramel Shake, and it was brought to the table in a takeaway cup, even though we were eating in, and our food was on a metal plate. The cup was half full, and mostly made up of whipped cream. For $5, that's unacceptable! About 10 minutes later, we saw another customer receive their shake in a glass cup, WITH even more in a metal tin! What is going on with this place?! Consistency? The burger was nice, but overall it was a bad experience.
(1)Ellen S.
We were disappointed. For our fast the burger was too juicy...but as a result of their cooking style. This caused our hamburger bun to get soggy. The serving of french fries was small. The ambiance was nice. But too expensive for the quality of food.
(3)Scott D.
I passed this place a few days ago and it looked like it was already open. I stopped in tonight for the first time and was told that they just opened yesterday. This is a nice location with a patio. I like what this plaza did with the traffic flow too. This Smashburger did not disappoint because I got Smashed tonight. I had a regular smashburger with grilled onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet relish and mustard on an egg bun. The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, what more could you want.
(5)BigSteve B.
I love this place when I'm craving a burger. My favorite is the Arizona with extra jalapeño . Fresh, crispy, tangy jalapeño. Add to that the fried pickles served with ranch and you have the foundation for any food pyramid. The service is always good even when busy, but there may be a line. Someone on Yelp said something about price; yea, there's no 99 cent menu if thats what your looking for.
(5)Rich G.
Always great for a burger fix. The Smashburger menu is limited, but grow the hair on your chest and customize it. Super Bonus, they have local beer!
(4)Michael T.
this isn't fast food, but it's darn close. Far better than In n' Out, this has great burgers with enough variety that you can count more than 3 items on the menu. Stay away from the shakes. They sound good but are liquidy, tasteless, and too small.
(3)Masha Z.
Back in the good ol' meat eating days, this place was bomb-diggity. I love the custom burger option, and it's really wonderful to have a ton of different bread styles. That might be my favorite part. Unfortunately for me, I am fairly uncreative when I am left to my own devices, so they have some great specialty burgers to offer too. Deliciously addicting fries, zesty soda's, and top of the line service. Best "cheap burger" place, hands down.
(4)Krystle N.
Love this place and let me tell you why, not only is it because of the food-- It's the customer service I get at this place!!! It had been a while since I have been in and I mean months, Emily remembered my name and what I order! She IS the definition of what customer service is. Yes I understand its hard remembering names and what each person orders. But no matter what she always has a smile on her face and talks the same way to each person! She is going to go far in life no matter where or what she ends up doing! Thank you! And thank you Smashburger for making excellent choices when you hire people. Now on to the food- The "Smash Fries" have rosemary and olive oil on them... they are a great change from your normal everyday fries. The Arizona Burger is really tasty, hot jalapenos piled high (I love this), habanero cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, purple onion, chipotle mayo, all on a chipotle bun. Plus++++ if you join their club they send amazing coupons to you!

Smashburger is one of those places that I'd always wanted to try but just got around to it last week. There is a location close to my office so I grabbed some lunch for a couple of people. I picked up a couple of burgers and for myself got the Arizona Chicken burger with smash fries. It held up by the time I got to my office and sat down to eat. There is a lot of heat in this sandwich, which is what I was looking for so I was very pleased. I also really liked the smash fries, nice and crispy and nice seasoning. I'll definitely be back.

Horrible service. After waiting 15 minutes in line, I ordered my food & sat down to wait. Before sitting down, I specify to the gentleman working the counter I wanted smash fries, opposed to regular fries. He acknowledged I said this & then yelled it to kitchen worker. I go to sit down, and they also tell me there's no bacon available for my bacon cheeseburger. I ask for a substitution or a refund of the dollar I spent on that bacon. Also requested a peice of lettuce because at this point my food had come out with regular fries. I Got neither, the young man avoided my table for the remainder of the evening & left unsatisfied and irritated. . I will NEVER eat at this mismanaged restaurant.

Very greasy food and if you want to have a heart attack, check out their calorie count on their burgers. Oh yeah you will have a heart attack after eating it. This place seems to be very popular but has mediocre food.

Love ability to create my own smashburger, especially chicken sandwiches. The fries are great too.

Actually surprised at how good my burger was here! Great service & free fries if you fill out the survey on your receipt.

First time was the last time. It wasn't so bad. But, after eating there, my Wife says to me, "Would you ever come back here?" Answer was a definitive no! Hence, the 2 star rating. Burger was really greasy, sweet potato fries were... Merhhhh... Onion rings (Haystacks) were very thin and, just... Mehhhh. I also don't like this new trend of fast food restaurants pretending to be gourmet dining, with no service. It's another do it yourself deal, and for 24 bucks for two, I want a waiter or waitress, thanks very much. One & done, Smashburger. See ya!

Received a BOGO coupon and decided to give Smashburger a try. Still wondering how all these burger places manage to put a new spin on a burger - seems like every new opening is a NEW burger place here. This location is in a new little strip mall at 101/FLW - it has about 5 food joints all lined up so take your pick - sushi, Vietnamese rice bowl, cupcakes, subs, burgers.... Smashburger is kind of a trendy smallish place, they take your order and deliver to your table in reuseable paper-lined wire baskets. I tried the Classic Chicken sandwich. I had no expectations but was really impressed - smashed flat chicken breast perfectly seasoned with the standard lettuce, tomato, onion on top. Very fresh with a real lettuce leaf, not that shredded iceburg stuff. Served on a whole-wheat bun. He ordered a Classic cheeseburger that was juicy and well dressed, no complaints. We split an order of fries - cooked to perfection. So I can't say I tried the most inventive item on the menu, but I feel Smashburger delivered a very good meal. Call me a new fan, I'll be back.

Burger joints that purport to be something special abound these days, and burgers are on the menu in many "fine" restaurants. Is Smashburger any different? I guess not. Its menu is burgers. You can pick the toppings. They have french fries and sweet potato fries, shakes, drinks, and a few salads. But Smashburger has an edge on most of its competitors - the burgers themselves are juicy and tasty. This may be because they use (they say) fresh meat, "smashed" to order. Also a bit above average: the bacon, the fries, the courtesy of the order takers. With no outstanding negatives to offset these, Smashburger moves up into the four star range, as compared to other burger joints. When will it all end?

Good solid and friendly service. The BiG Smashburger was delicious. Good comes out fresh and fast. The burger was juicy and one of the best around. The chocolate shake was sooooo good, I gave myself a brain freeze and it was worth every ounce of pain. Well played Smashburger...well played.
(5)S C.
This is my favorite fast food burger spot around. They have some great healthier options like a multigrain bun, chicken sandwiches and salads. They easily have the best fries around too. Love the Smash fries and sweet potato fries. I just wish they stayed open a little later week nights.

Our fourth satisfactory trip to Smashburger seals the deal as far as my review is concerned. Though there isn't much variety on the menu, they offer a lot of great choices to customize what you're getting - you can even choose what type of bun you get. The burgers are great, black bean burger is excellent, fries and onion rings are awesome and they have really good shakes. The one and only complaint I have so far is they are a little stingy with the blue cheese when it has been my cheese of choice. A solid spot for burgers.

Best Hamburgers and French fries in the area. It is clean and a friendly, great atmosphere. It is enjoyable every time I go there. My most favorite place for a burger and fries.1

So glad they are bringing theses to AZ, because they are great.

So this was my first time having a Smash burger and man do I have to say that I freakin loved it!!!! The flavor that explodes in your mouth is absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the Arizona and what a nice spice kick to it and very flavorful!!! I also order the sweet potato fries and they were ok nothing ridiculously good. After all set and done I got the bill and realized its $9.02 with tax, kinda was thinking to my self did I just really spend that much on a burger with some fries? Yes I apparently did haha. I wish they were cheaper lets say $5.99 + tax = ( 3/4lb burger + fries ) would be nice. ARE YOU READING THIS SMASH??? Any way I was impressed so impressed I ended up going back a second time two nights in a row, got the original and that was flavorful too!!!! Thanks again SMASH!!!! Ciao, Luca

Was not impressed at all, I wouldn't call this a Gourmet Burger, and they are expensive! didn't like the way the meat tasted, too salty, and the french fries were ok, we ordered the Rosemary,Olive oil, and Garlic fries, my husband loves Burgers, but we will not go back ! this was the second time we had tried them! I will say the Staff was Great, too bad their Burgers are not Great ! We would rather go to In In Out, or Five Guys ! They have really Loud Music playing also, which is not very pleasant, my husband and I could barely hear each other talk !

Above average burger, but over priced compared to the other burger places in the Valley. I ordered the Classic Smash with the haystack onion rings. They put the smash sauce on the side, which is good, since I really didn't care for it too much. The onion rings were thinly cut, but a tad to greasy. If you plan on going a lot, sign up for the Smash club and they'll send you coupons for a free side.

Burger, fries, soda, with tax = $9.66 Order at register, take a plastic sign to table and wait 10 minutes or longer for the food to be delivered. (for dine-in) Plastic cup is provided you cannot carry out, so you can only drink it in the store. Food served in rigid steel wire rectangular baskets with paper liner. Rough edges are uncomfortable on the wrists. Thin thin fries are tedious to eat and not very flavor-full. Music is loud, forget intimate conversation or a peaceful meal. Burgers are slightly above average. I suggest Culver's as a substitute for better fries and a paper cup you can take home. This business is designed to appeal to teenagers ONLY, not grown-ups. If you are over age 20 stay away, you won't like it. If you like smashed burgers try Culver's, it's essentially the same burger patty after cooking. Upscale? Sure! (As long as your definition of 'up-scale' includes Taco Bell) This place is nothing more than just another fast food chain burger joint appealing to teenagers.

Not a fan. The burger was greasy and the meat, flavorless. I opted for the Arizona, so the only saving grace were the semi-spicy toppings. The staff definitely doesn't look like they enjoy being there and as another yelper said, the decor reminds me more of a carwash than a burger joint. For the price it costs to go there I'd definitely recommend taking your money and driving to the In-n-out nearby. Heck for a few dollars more you can head over to Four Peaks and have a REALLY good burger.

I really like this place for "fast" food without feeling like you are at a McDonalds. You order your food at the counter and pay there and they bring it to you at the table, but will come to your table again to see if they can get you anything else. I have been here many times now for dinner when I just wanted a quick, fairly inexpensive meal, and it is consistent and reliable. I have only had chicken sandwiches but each one has been great. I'm also told the burgers are good. I love the sweet potato fries. The milkshakes are also fantastic. They sell beer which is a nice plus over typical fast food places.
(5)Jason N.
This place is not good and not worth the prices. I suggest you drive up the street to In-N-Out and save yourself some $$ The burger menu is over hyped and Smashburger doesn't deliver. Please don't use truffle mayo and call the burger a truffle burger. You are not Umami. The buns here are soggy and gross, and the meat here is tasteless. Don't go here.

I much prefer the Smashburger at Desert Ridge. This place needed a little bit of help.
(3)Sarah H.
I like their chicken sandwich and they have great shakes!
(4)Kerstin H.
Second time at this location and cold fries again. Over $45 for 2 adults & 2 kids and I didn't order a side. Burgers & chicken sandwich were okay but it's pricey. For the $ there are better choices with table service.
(2)Sam H.
I have been wanting to check this place out for quite a while. I finally had a chance to go and get a classic Smashburger. When I first walked in I was presently surprised with the modern decor! Large HDTV's for the menu, modern dining room. I thought it was all great. When I got my burger I was disappointed by how messy it was. Also, the portion of fires you get are a bit disappointing. Other then that, Smashburger is a great burger joint.
(4)Susan W.
I just scrolled through the reviews and I am shocked. Someone really likes this place? It was a huge disappointment. The food was below adverage. In and out is much better. The price is fine the fries never showed up so I can't say. Two stars at the absolute most. I may , if desperate, try a chicken sandwich. It was a greasy disgusting hamburger, I did not take the leftovers for my dog. The ambiance is car wash. The help are looking suicidal.

Good burger place. Beats In n Out and five guys.
(3)John W.
The burgers here were really good. I guess the "smash" really gave the patty a nice sear on the outside. I'm always worried if you smash the patty of the burger, you might dry it out. But it was very juicy and a bit on the greasy side even but not too much. But if you are a burger lover, juiciness and a bit of greasiness is what you are looking for anyway. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were really good as well. The only thing I think that would make this place better is a better choice of buns, like brioche and pretzel buns just to name a few.
(4)Lillian H.
Foods not bad but the price is just insane. I can get a much bigger and better burger in Los Angeles.
(3)Albert H.
$12 for burger, fries, and soda. Unbelievable how much some of these "nicer" fast food places charge. Added jalapenos to my burger and it was just four little rings in the middle. What kind of add-on topping value is that? On top of this, the habanero cheese isn't really hot at all. Parking is atrocious since it shares spots with Jimmy Johns and others.
(3)Tarek S.
ok i'm editing my review, i now love this place, been addicted for past week....must have just been a bad experience the first time i went! ps: if you dont like your stuff salty just order it with mild seasoning
(5)Josh F.
Awesome burger. I had one in Ohio about two years ago and loved it. For only being open two days, this place was humming and the staff had their business down. My order came out perfect and quick. The AZ burger was awesome. Not too spicy, but very good balanced flavor with each bite. The smash sweet potato fries were just delicious. Tossed in salt, olive oil and rosemary, still crunchy, and nice and sweet. I'm glad we have one close to work now!
(4)Victor C.
The Big AZ is big and greasy! Tastes good too!
(3)Beth R.
Very pleasant burger joint for the more sophisticated taste buds! You form a queue to order, fill your drink and grab a seat. Staff bring your food out and even bus your table. Our family ordered smash fries and regular fries, kids' cheeseburger, grilled cheese, an Arizona burger, standard cheeseburger and a salty-caramel milkshake. All of it was delicious! Kids ate it up. I love the Arizona burger--just the perfect amount of fresh crunch and spice. Yum!
(5)Steve B.
Much better than five guys not even comparable. Enjoyed 3 meals at Smashburger recently.

I have gone here for lunch twice now and really liked it! The first time I got a goat cheese salad with chicken and the second time I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Our food was delivered in less than 10 min. (which is a must when you are on an hour break from work) and the staff was very nice. The atmosphere is nice, casual, and clean and the prices are about average for lunch. The only negative would be that the salad was somewhat small for the price...they just need to add more spring mix or spinach since the toppings were plenty, but the chicken was cooked perfect. I am very critical when it comes to chicken and it was not veiny or chewy, which is really important since I always worry about chicken being undercooked. The sweet potato fries were also amazing and not too greasy. I have yet to try the burgers (which is weird since this is a burger joint) but I will be sure to update if I do!
