restaurants in 30 states and four countries. The company started in 2007 and by offering fresh, premium “smashed to order” burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, signature side items and hand-spun Haagen-Dazs shakes, Smashburger has modernized the way people think about burgers.
The first Boston area location opened recently in Natick, and I went in the other day to check them out for lunch. As they're known for, the menu featured some items with a local New England flare including the New Englander burger topped with cranberry sauce, grilled onions and cranberry stilton. There is also a light menu with calorie counts listed, and all selections are under 600 calories. I was tempted to get the original Smash Burger (regular size) since it's on the lighter menu, but the truffle mushroom and swiss burger sounded too good to pass up!
I was not disappointed! The regular size was a generous portion of angus beef topped with truffle mayo, sauteed portabella mushrooms, and swiss cheese. I don't generally like mayo, but will make an exception for anything with truffle! This had great flavor and I was glad they used just a touch; it's all they needed!
There are also several types of fries including sweet potato and the Smash fries tossed in olive oil, rosemary, and garlic. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries, but next time I definitely want to check out the Smash fries!
Smash Burger is a great addition to the Boston area dining scene; it's fast and casual but offers a much greater selection then similar restaurants of its kind. I would definitely go back.
