text: I must admit that prior to dining at Smashburger I was a little irked considering that it seems like every Smashburger I have seen has been built extremely close to In N Out a burger chain that is extremely dear to my heart both in terms of sentiment and the plaque building in my arteries because of those damned delicious double doubles However outright audacity aside I had also been curious for a while as I am a girl who enjoys a good burger no matter the source So off I wentnnI ordered the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and my companion ordered the All American Burger We also ordered the sweet potato fries and the regular fries It did take a bit to get our food even though there were not many people there I must also say that I was not pleased with the prices It is kind of ridiculous for two people to spend dollars on hamburgers and fries we did not get drinks either when it is not even a sitdown restaurant with some sense of atmosphere nnAnyway Back to the food I had mixed feelings about my burger The BBQ sauce was pretty good as was the bun However the bacon sadly was pretty scarce as were the fried onions that accompanied the burger Also the patty while juicy and a good size was really really salty almost too salty for my liking and trust me I am not a gal that shies away from sodium I sort of felt like this was a hamburger that I could make myself at home which also contributed to the feeling of Why the hell does this cost so much that lingered throughout my meal My companions burger was fine in the sense that it was what we ordered and in the neighborhood of what I expected but was also very salty The burgers were also pretty greasy which was kind of a turnoff for me nnI had mixed feelings about the fries The regular fries were fine although they could have used a little bit more garlic The sweet potato fries however were a huge disappointment and left me fantasizing about the goodness that is Creates sweet potato fries The rosemary just was not working for me with the sweet potato fries and they were so so oily that I was pretty disgusted when I worked my way down to the bottom of my fry holder and there was a huge puddle of greaseoil which strangely was not the case with the regular friesnnThis place was okay It was not awful but it was not great either Nothing really jumped out at me during my visit and I kind of felt like I would been had I am glad I tried it but honestly for the money I dropped here I would rather have spent that money somewhere else ie burger bar create bachi burger etc I will not be back any time soon
