Smash Burger - Troy, Michigan

It’s a burger chain. But it’s kinda like the “Chipotle” of the Mexican chain world. It’s near my house, fresh and delicious, with a variety of burger or chicken sandwich options- and this burger snob has never been disappointed (consistently yum!). Their concept is truly a smashed burger- flattened burger, veggie burger and chicken meat with a great array of toppings and flavors. Here’s some highlights: My friend likes to go standard with the regular cheeseburger. It’s just a pretty good burger with the regular toppings. I’m a bit more adventurous with the burg, and I like to get their veggie burgers spicy jalapeño Baja style, or with Truffled mushrooms and Swiss. Their chicken is pretty good too- try their spinach, cucumber goat cheese or maybe the avocado club.
 
The sides are another reason to stop there for take-out. Their smash fries with rosemary and garlic are quite addictive, and I enjoy their flash fried veggie mix as well. But if you just paid attention, you’ll remember I said to get take-out. The atmosphere screams fast food, even though they’re pretty clean inside. This isn’t a ‘change your life’ kinda burger, this is a ‘burger craving that’s on the way home’ kinda place. The fancy toppings and fresh ingredients keep me coming back.
