Honestly 2-1/2 stars would be more accurate, but the phrase "Meh, I've experienced better" absolutely applies. Went here for lunch today with my sons. The greeting and ordering was great, if not exactly memorable. We got a seat and waited for our meal, which came in reasonably short order. The burger was okay. I had the truffle mushroom swiss. Couldn't taste any truffle in the mayo (which is where they allegedly put it), and the burger was... okay. Nothing spectacular here. Cooked properly, a little juicy, it tasted like a burger cooked on a flat iron grill. The egg bun was soft, held up well, and was tasty. The smash fries were dripping with oil (they should have been tossed in olive oil, not drenched), and aside from the fact that the fries were all under 2 inches long, they tasted very good. Altogether, we have a 3-4 star meal here. Here comes the problems: The restaurant is clean, but only because it is new. I observed no fewer than 5 sanitation and food handling issues while sitting there. In one case, a worker put a bucket of ice (which was likely filled while sitting on the floor) on a table, then on the counter next to the soda dispenser, and finally on top of the ice tea container/dispenser. The cross contamination from floor to eating surfaces... unbelievable. In another case, a worker cleaned a floor (someone spilled a drink) with his towel, then wiped down two other tables with the same towel without rinsing it out. In a third case, an employee wiped the debris from a table (including napkins, drink lids, and food bits) onto the floor, then kicked it under a table before walking off. Finally, one instance of not washing hands before returning to work after using the bathroom... I know this place is new, but these workers need serious training in food handling and sanitation. It will not take long until we have bugs and rodents, and food poisoning, at the rate they're going. For this, I knocked them down a notch or two. It would be 1 star if the food weren't as tasty as it was. Summary: enjoy the food, at your own risk.

Ordered a custom burger on two separate occasions: Sauted Mushroom, Grilled Onion, Blue Cheese, Bacon, and Truffle Mayo... Both times they "forgot" the bacon. The first time I thought it might have been an oversight, but apparently I am doomed to not have bacon on a burger here, even after paying for it. Very disappointing. The Fries and Onion Straws are a bit on the greasy side, they are tasty, but could stand to be a little less greasy.

The service was speedy for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised by this. Classic Burger was tasty and I loved the egg bun and Smash sauce. The sides are large enough for 2 people to share. Onion straws were really good too with Smash sauce to dip in. This is where the rating drops to three stars. The fries were soggy and the sweet potato fries really were not appetizing! We usually love sweet potato fries but there was something odd about the taste of these. Also, it is pricey for the type of burger place it is. $4.99 for a classic burger! Signed up for their email club so we might be back depending on the coupons and offers they send.

I went to Smashburger today to get a quick salad for lunch, and I couldn't have been happier. Not only was the Harvest Salad and the sweet potato fries great, their service was incredible. I had a take-out order, so naturally I sat at a table until it was ready to go. I was waiting for about 4 minutes when a worker came up, addressed me by name, and apologized for how long the wait was. He offered me a free drink while I waited. When I received my order two minutes later, he informed me that they gave me a large fry rather than the small I ordered because they felt bad about the wait. I was in awe of these workers. I honestly had not been waiting very long, but they still felt like I had been. I would 100% go back to this place!

I got the half pound big burger with cheese and bacon. I should've asked for well-done as it was quite pink. It was still delicious with the Bun they use. The french fries that I got were rosemary garlic and they were good but so greasy! The one I have in San Francisco where I live also there's are very greasy. Overall the atmosphere was very cool and modern and I would come back again.

Greasy food that is overpriced. I had the bacon avocado burger and the bun was soggy with grease. The smashfries were glistening with oil. Burger, fries and pop came to $10. I saw an amazing looking salad headed to another table and was just a little jealous. Good service. Food came to the table quickly. Probably won't go back. My son had also been there and said "ok, but greasy" and he loves his grease, so you know it was super-greasy.

I used to love smashburger before I came to the one in flagstaff. First attempt right after opening was a huge disappointment but blamed that on being busy. Second time was slightly better but still not what I remembered of what was once my favorite burger place. Just attempted the online order method and upon my arrival was handed bags without even stating my name. The girl literally just handed them to me and began to walk away. When I checked to make sure it was actually my order I headed home. My "scheduled pick up time" was 7:15, got there by 7:20 and when I got home everything was super cold. Took my first bite of burger and it was pink in the middle. Being preggo I can't eat undercooked meat. Had to throw it out. The fries were SO salty they were also ineatable and were tossed as well. $20 well spent. Next time I'm craving a burger I will for sure hit up Mama burger instead..

I had the BBQ, BACON & CHEDDAR & the SMASHFRIES and this was the best burger & fries I have ever had even better than all of the Colby Beef Burgers that I have had. I love the HAYSTACK ONIONS they put on the top so much we had to even order a side order of them as they were so tasty along with the Smash Sauce just like with the fries. Also the egg bun was probably one of the best buns I have ever tasted and I will be looking forward to my next trip to a SMASHBURGER.

Meh. Staff was good, pleasant and fast. Burger was fresh, yes, but not anything remarkable. Haystack onions greasy. Music too loud for conversation, very annoying. Our first visit to a Smashburger, probably our last.

This place was awesome. I was excited to see a smash burger and flagstaff. I've heard some people have bad things about this place but I loved it. Amazing customer service, speedy food delivery and the food was just delicious. I got the avocado club burger and it was phenomenal on the egg bun. I also got the sweet potato fries and again delicious. Fresh and it all tasted wonderful. Can't wait to come back again.

Went here today after I established that the food was good but I guess it depends on who is working cause after about a 15 min wait for 4 burgers and 2 kids fries my burger was way under cooked my wife's chicken tasted slimy witch would tell me it was under cooked my kids burgers were cooked ok tho just check your burger before you eat it or you might be sorry

The first thing I noticed walking in was the smoky mist of grease hanging in the air. Gross. Well at least the horizontal surfaces were all very clean. Fast and friendly service and nice cool air conditioning earns it an extra star, but the food I had was just depressing. 1 star for my meal. I ordered a black bean burger with smash fries. The "patty" for this burger is actually just bean paste slapped on a hot grill until it burns a thin skin on both sides. By the time I was halfway through, it had fallen apart beyond recognition as a sandwich. The smash fries were pathetic. They're ordinary potato French fries, only somehow worse. They were completely bland. Hardly even salted. No amount of seasoning could have saved them though, on account of how badly they were saturated with oil. I don't think I'd come back except maybe to sit comfortably while Jimmy John's delivers from next door. Yes, I'd rather eat that cold, no-frills, fad-food than eat at Smash Burger again.

Been here twice. Had the avocado club burger and the truffle burger with the smash fries and chocolate shake. Burgers do have grease, but still tasty. Fries are good, worth eating. Shakes are all made with vanilla haagandaz ice cream and syrup for flavor. They're good, not too sugary. Service was friendly and fast, even when I had to send the avocados back twice because they had brown spots and lines. Told the waiter I wouldn't serve him rotten looking avocados if he came to my house. Finally he came out with nice looking, ripe avocado slices. We decided we prefer mama burger better, larger burgers, more food, but smash burger is a nicer place to sit in.

We stopped here as we were traveling through AZ to the Grand Canyon. We took an exit off I-40 and didn't know that this was there because they aren't listed on the sign on the Interstate. We pulled in a parking lot to eat someplace else, but then saw Smashburger and decided to try it. Parking was a little hard because a few restaurants share the same lot and it was lunchtime. I liked that it was pretty fast service and had good quality food. I wanted something healthy since we would be sitting in the car all day and didn't want grease sitting in my stomach. I got the spinach and goat cheese salad with chicken and it was very good. The portions were big enough to fill you up! Other people in my party weren't as concerned about the grease so they got a burger and fries and they looked delicious! The staff was friendly and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean. If traveling through again we would stop back!

Good but not impressed, it is just a little better than your average fast food restaurant. I got the classic smash burger with garlic fries. My mother ordered the sweet potato fries and thought they were delicious. We had to make some last minute changes to our order and they were very accommodating.

This was my first time here. I immediately noticed that they did in fact have a small selection of "micro" brews. Four Peaks, Sierra Nevada. That kind of stuff. All canned or bottled, no problem. A beer with a burger is good to have regardless of the type. The guy behind the counter was a great host. I told him it's my first time and he ran through the process for me. I decided on the Truffle Burger and was glad I did. Not only did it come out really fast but it was laid out for me to put more stuff on if I wanted. I've always hated having to tear apart a burger if I want to add mustard or something. The fries were okay. Just basic fries. The burger however was full of flavor! The truffle mayo was savory and delicious. The burger was great. They may have had a cold spot on the grill because one corner of it was a little on the rare side. Other than that, I don't know what people are complaining about. This place is spot on a great fast fresh burger joint. Would be a full five but I gotta ding the explicit music I could hear in the kitchen. I love music, but there's kids in and out of here. Turn it down a little. At least so it can't be heard out front. I will most definitely be back again!

I went to Smashburger a couple days ago with a couple friends since it is new to Flagstaff. The customer service was excellent. The food was prepared correctly and tasted delicious. The atmosphere inside was modern and fresh! The only reason why I gave this visit a 3 is because the cleanliness of the place was not in to par. The soda machine area was sticky, not stocked, and I found a couple hairs in the lemon container. It just grossed me out after the hair thing. I would definitely come back again though and try something else.

I love the fact we now have a Smashburger in Flagstaff. The service and food where great. However, 3 different people came up to us in the matter of 10 minutes to ask if everything was okay, by the 3rd time it was very annoying. Next time I will get mine to go so I can eat in peace.
