I too came for the sneak peek on Saturday before they opened (being an elite yelper has it's perks!)  I was a bit skeptical at first, we've 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.  \n\nThe veggie frites are where it's at.  I love veggies & I love fried food so they're a win-win!  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.  \n\nThe 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.  \n\nI 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.  4 of us were eating it & we only made a dent!  Get the small or side salad version unless you plan on sharing!\n\nThe only thing our table unanimously agreed missed the mark were the brunswick fries. the sauce just wasn't authentic & they were really heavy.  The sweet potato fries were a bit heavy on the rosemary, but they were still good.
