Smashburger



Here is yet another unique burger. Smashburger gets straight to the point with its name - the burgers are made by literally smashing the burger on the grill with a metal plate. They roll their 100% certified Angus ground beef into a ball, put it on the grill, and place a heavy metal plate on top. This creates a pretty delicious burger. They use this method to "sear in the juices".

There is a downfall of using a heavy metal plate to smash the burger. For those of you who like to order your burger cooked a specific way, its pretty impossible here. Also, smashing the burger creates a thinner patty than when cooked normally.

However, their burgers come in three different sizes (small, smash, and big) and the menu offers many great topping choices - fried egg, guacamole, chili, haystack onions, and fried pickles, to name a few. They also offer many different styles of fries and other sides too like haystack unions and beefy chili.

The burgers are great, and the technique of smashing them keeps them really juicy. Although the patties are thinner, the burger is much wider than a normal patty and its pretty filling. The prices are pretty reasonable, but be careful because the menu is a la carte, so things could add up. They also serve beer for those of us who need one after a long day.
Although I would rate their burgers pretty high up, their fries aren't anything special so I would recommend choosing another one of their sides. 

Smashburger has plenty of locations including one they just opened in Coral Springs. I would definitely check it out.
