I was provided with gift cards to visit Smashburger All opinions are my own.
If you are like me there are some nights you just don’t want to cook. Maybe it’s been a busy day filled with errands or maybe I am just not in the mood. Whatever. Sometimes I just need a treat. While I am a fan of upscale dining, sometimes it is nice to have a fun filled family meal where no one has to worry about dirty looks from fellow patrons if a straw or napkin falls on the floor. Not that this would ever happen in our family. Insert sarcastic eye roll here.
I first heard about Smashburger during my trip to Houston, but it turns out they have locations a lot closer to me, like in Atlanta. Their menu boasts handcrafted burgers that are smashed, seared and seasoned to order, using their fresh, never frozen 100% Certified Angus Beef®, Smashfries hand-tossed with garlic, rosemary and olive oil and handspun Häagen-Dazs® shakes, served in a frosted glass. You can even create your own smashburger from their long list of ingredients beginning with an artisan bun, toppings and sauces of choice and a variety of cheese. (For anyone who doesn’t care for burgers, they also serve chicken, veggie burgers, salads and hot dogs.)
To be honest, although I like a good burger every now and then, my focus is on shakes. I usually wind up handing my burger and fries to a family member and enjoying the cool, creaminess of a rich, thick shake. Did I mention that Smashburger has regular and premium shakes? I couldn’t decide which shake I wanted to try—Oreo, Nutterbutter or Butterfinger. Then, I realized they had a new seasonal flavor—Peanut Butter and Jelly. Who could pass this up?
I’ve convinced Bryan that the two of us need to take a day trip to Atlanta and enjoy Smashburger together. I’ve told him all about the joys of trying a Smashburger and having some of their side dishes. They make Sweet Potato smash fries too.
Have you checked out the Smashburger menu? If you are in Houston and stay at the Hotel Sorella, there is a Smashburger located in the Town and Country plaza, which is a five minute walk away.

We love Smashburger! It’s one of our favorites. Aren’t their fries the best? Although my hubby will argue that it’s all about the burgers. 😉
Smashburger is so good! I really do need to try the milkshakes and sweet potato fries next time. I could only eat so much in one visit! The peanutbutter and jelly shake sounds so delicious, though!
Smashburger, is a notorious diet splurge for me, their burgers have so much flavor and I can’t resist the sweet potato fries
I love hamburgers and this looks like my kind of restaurant. It’s nice to just be able to eat out and have some good old hamburgers instead of having to cook.
After reading about these burgers and how they are made I’ve not put it on my to do list to hunt one down and visit so I can try them. I’ll be trying the peanut butter and jelly shake too.
I never heard of Smashburgers. Are they anywhere else outside of Texas. Those shakes sound amazing.
Jennifer, they have one in Brooklyn. It’s at 80 Dekalb Ave.
We have a SmashBurger over here and I have still never been there. Those fries look SO GOOD right now, though… I may just have to go today!
