A: This is not a burger for the faint of heart. Or those with heartburn. Especially not the Arizona Smashburger. I don't quite recall where I heard about Smashburger, but I recall it sounded quite exciting at the time. Sadly, I'm not going to be able to be nearly as enthusiastic about it. See, while the burger is good (much better than any of your standard fast food fare), there's not much to say beyond that. The toppings were fine, fresh and crispy, which was quite nice. The burger was very well cooked, so I know that the staff are capable of making decent food. They do some fun things with having different types of buns for the different burgers, but when it comes down to it, there just isn't enough to make it memorable or worth recommending. The side dishes, on the other hand, are memorable. Just in a bad way. Their fries were overly rosemary-ed and too oily. They were almost slimy somehow and I couldn't eat more than one or two. The onion sticks were better suited as a burger topping rather than anything that should have been served next to a burger. Don't think they're onion rings in any way. They are most certainly not. If you're in Tempe and looking for a burger, check out one of the other places in the area that serve burgers. This shouldn't be the first choice for burgers in the Tempe region.

Q: positive

A: The meat was great, definitely Boars head quality. The bread was fresh, tasty, and had a nice crust. Overall great sandwich and will be back again, better than most chains. They just need to turn the AC on.

Q: negative

A: What a shame. We anxiously awaited the opening of this restaurant in our neighborhood, but have been seriously disappointed. On our first visit, the coffee was barely luke warm, and the huevos rancheros, which we usually go for were simply mediocre. On our second visit, i tried one of the skillets. The sausage they used was sliced up cheap links, and the potatoes they used were the frozen shredded variety. It would be hard for me to even rate the meal mediocre. Sorry to say it's two strikes and yer out for me. There are way too many other very good breakfast options nearby.

Q: negative

A:
My family and I decided to go to this restaurant, purely because it was convenient, but it also looked like a good place for bigger groups. We ordered a couple rolls and some entrees like the Mongolian beef. We were all starving and anxious for our food, luckily it came out fairly quickly. We ordered the Hot Dang, Spider, Crazy Mad Dragon and a couple more I don't recall. I was very unimpressed with the sushi. (The Mongolian Beef was good, but not sure how you can go wrong with that.) The rolls weren't terrible, but I definitely had better at a much lower cost. The wasabi was a greater disappointment. It looked like play-doh and had zero flavor. The entire dinner was a disappointment, but the service was great, besides the fact that our waters were never refilled.
