text: I too came for the sneak peek on Saturday before they opened being an elite yelper has it is perks I was a bit skeptical at first we have had a lot of burger joints imported from the west coast that failed miserably But Smashburger is different They have loads of options you can customize your burger chicken sandwich or salad nnThe veggie frites are where it is at I love veggies I love fried food so they are a winwin I love that you can choose your bun the egg bun is seriously tasty I just hope that they import the pretzel bun from their Chicago menu at some point You can put any number of toppings on your burgers from avocado to fried eggs nnThe burgers were all surprisingly tasty flavorful for a fast food joint I had the baja burger which be warned is actually spicy the bun even has chipotle peppers in it We also tried to Carolina burger which despite my hatred of slaw was mighty delicious nnI want to come back try the chicken dishes We figured since it was a burger place we should try those first We split their blt chicken sandwich which was good but the combo of mayo ranch dressing was pretty messy We also sampled the Harvest Salad it was perfect spinach lettuce crumbly very mild blue cheese balsamic dressing sunflower seeds The salad itself was gigantic of us were eating it we only made a dent Get the small or side salad version unless you plan on sharingnnThe only thing our table unanimously agreed missed the mark were the brunswick fries the sauce just was not authentic they were really heavy The sweet potato fries were a bit heavy on the rosemary but they were still good
