Smashburger

Wow! Went there for the first time last week. My new favorite burger joint in the st. louis area. Kind of like steak and shake except the burgers are alot thicker, and the condiments are better quality. You can bet I’ll be a very frequent customer.

The gooey butter cake shake is heaven!!! Love all the burgers and choices. The Rosemary and sea salt fries are tasty :-) quick service and very friendly staff.

Oh dear laaawd! That cheese burger on a pretzel bun with those onion straws on the side! Are you kidding me???

What can I say, Smash Burger is awesome PERIOD!

Not impressed anymore. Employee turnover is high and leaves you wanting a friendly familiar face. Chicken sandwich extremely overcooked. Cold bun. Fries are still good and plentiful. Would really like them to have a trash can that you could throw trash away in yourself.

Really good and really fresh. My only complaint would be the kids meals. If you have an older kid (I’d say 7+) with a big appetite, you may want to order them a larger size chicken strips. They were really good, but was not quite enough food for my 8 year old daughter. I had the Club burger with bacon and avocado. It was great and the perfect size. Hubby had a special «Vegas» burger with onion straws and a fried egg. He loved it. We all split a large fry. Overall it was good and we will be back. Although, I do think it is a little pricey for what you get.

Stopped in from work i didnt know what to expect. Starving and didnt want Taco Bell, McDonald’s or Jack n the box. Well, im glad i stopped. The burgers are flavorful and juicy and i cant forget the bun, soft and oh so good. 5 stars easy! I will be back, and with friends next time :)

The St. Louis burger is the best burger I’ve ever had. Pretzel bun, grilled onions, green peppers, provel. Delish. And those Rosemary fries! Good God.

We stopped here on the way home (been driving for 6 hours) with a party of 6. I thought the kids meal price of $ 5.29 was kinda high, but then the amount of food they got made me feel it was with it. My husband had the Buffalo Smash and I had the St Louis Smash both burgers were hot, juicy and flavorful. The also were a nice size and although the fries were just ok, there were a bunch! Service was quick and friendly.
My husbands only complaint was his strawberry shake was more of a «slushy» consistency than a shake.

The sweet potato smash fries were so good. They are cooked in olive oil and Rosemary. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and yes it was greasy but it was excellent! My daughter had an Oreo milkshake and it was actually really good.

As a longtime Unilocaler and attendee of several tasting events including the one this past spring at the Chesterfield location, I thought for sure that I would experience the same high quality service of the Smashburger closest to my house as I did at the Chesterfield location.
Let me preface my experience with a bit of background info… I just had surgery on Monday morning and I am on total rest and not able to drive. My hubby was kind enough to call and ask me what I wanted for lunch and he would go pick it up if I ordered. I was having a massive burger craving and decided that Smashburger was the ticket. I did not order online because there are not spaces or options for specialty notes for your order… you can only add or leave off items. When I called the first time I was disconnected… no problem. I called back and the young girl who answered the phone had a very miserable tone to her voice. I proceeded with my order… Spicy jalepeno baja burger with the guacamole on the side, bacon cheeseburger no ketchup, regular fries, spicy fries, and fried pickles. She repeated the order back to me and said it would be ready in 5 – 10 minutes. I told her to hold off having it ready for another 15 minutes since my husband wouldn’t be there until then and I didn’t want it to get cold. She said we’ll have it ready when you arrive… hmmmmmmm.
When he arrived, not only was the order wrong (no guacamole on the side), but she charged me and extra $ 1 for guacamole that never made it into the bag. She obviously does not know her menu items! Additionally, i paid extra for the new spicy fries and ended up with the Smashfries. The piece of leaf lettuce that was on my burger looked like it came off the bottom of somebody’s shoe after stomping through the rain! Note to self and others, do not get the fried pickles for takeout… they were soggy and overly greasy! Of course, everything was cold or overheated under the warming lamp.
I very rarely leave a 1 star review, but I think this location needs a wake up call and some retraining of their staff. I will continue to patronize the Chesterfield location, but it will be a good long while before I even consider going back to the Zumbehl location.

Nice quick lunch!
Lots of space in this eatery.
I’m not sure the meal itself lived up to the hype but it was a-​ok.

What an awesome burger I just had! Do you like fresh and different toppings? Well then, you may be in for the Spinach, Cucumber, and Goat Cheese Smashburger. On a multi-​grain bun, this burger was packed with flavor. The goat cheese was melted from the warmth of the burger. The spinach and cucumbers were oh so crunchy! I will be ordering this again and again, and again.
The staff is very pleasant. They brought our food over to us correctly, and came to check on us at least once. For a restaurant that does not expect a tipping. I appreciate the work they go out of their way to do.
I am into local buying an think it’s great that Smashburger uses local meat from ranching families in the state. This is so good for our local economy and the farming families. Keep up the good work guys!

After seeing such good Unilocal reviews, our first visit to Smashburger was a little bit of a disappointment. Our burgers and sweet potato fries were ok, but nothing exciting. I felt satisfied, but not anxious to eat here again.
The real problem was with the employees. We stopped in for an early lunch and it was pretty slow. The employees were congregated in the back, bashing other employees so loudly that we sat as far away as possible and were still disrupted. Unprofessional and unappealing.

What a yummy hamburger, plus shoestring fries and a strawberry shake. Pure heaven. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to go to the local counter top for burgers, fries and a shake. My kids also enjoyed the place. Will definitely be coming back.

I had a great time at the smash burger Unilocal event in Chesterfield so we stopped by to pick up some take out to bring to the grandmother this evening.
Having tried everything on the menu, I went for the new Spicy Jalapeño Baha Burger. First bite had my face prickling and my mouth on fire. Too much spice for any normal person and we soon discovered the culprit was unseeded, raw jalapeño slices. They were also in the baha salad. After picking them out the flavours were pretty good and the sauce had a great taste, once unmasked by the awful burn.
I’m impressed they have vitamin water on their soda machine and friendly servers, just need to switch up the jalapeño prep.
One last silly thing that most people going to a burger joint for takeout won’t encounter was, when you order a salad, you get two separately packaged small salads with two dressing containers. Unless they were just randomly out of main size salad to go boxes, this seems pretty wasteful.

Get the The St. Louis Burger; provel cheese, grilled peppers, and a pretzel bun. A mouthwatering mess. Get extra napkins.
Also, they have beer.

eh, nothing too special, fries had some random taste to it (rosemary I think), sweet potato fries were a lot better. Just another chain burger, with above average quality meats and normal orders.
Looking for a standard burger place? come here! price is a bit above standard, around 10+ dollars for just a burger fries and a drink
didn’t get to try their shakes but I heard they were pretty decent.

Smashed. Sweet. Potato. Fries. I could eat 3 trays of these for dinner and nothing else. Just thinking about them, even at 9 pm after a big dinner, my stomach is gurgling a little.
Upon my first visit, I savored a mushroom & swiss burger, it melted in my mouth. I am always comparing non-​soda options at eateries, and the black tea at Smashburger keeps me coming back for more.
On top of great food, we’ve had excellent service and the employees have always been tolerant of our tons of questions. Smashburger is going on my list of regulars!

Smashburger gets my vote and I will return!
I ordered the black bean burger with swiss and mushrooms along with a side of sweet potato fries and a drink. When I received my order they had given me regular fries and when I explained that I ordered sweet potato fries they let me keep the plain ones as well! What a treat! I love french fries! These fries are incredible with the seasoning. You have to try them!
The service was great and everyone always had a smile! The staff was attentive and offered assistance whenever they could see I needed something! Great job!
I was only to eat half the burger and fries and so I had to get a doggy bag; it made a great lunch the next day!
I was raving about this place to a friend and so I know I will be back soon! I need to try that gooey butter cake shake! I meant to get one on the way out, but I was too full to even think about it. It’ll happen next time.
Thanks Smashburger for the great food and good memories! You certainly made all of us visiting that night feel special!
