I’ve only been to Smashburger a handful of times but it never disappoints. Great burger selection and the ingredients are always fresh. If you are looking for a quality fast casual dining experience I would highly recommend checking Smashburger out.

I absolutely love smashburger. The burgers are juicy and cheesy, and they have so many options to choose from. Their sides are all so amazing, smashtots being my personal favorite. I definitely recommend eating here! The food is always hot and fresh and amazing.

Gross burger. Too much grease. As soon as my husband took his first bite. Grease poured out. He couldn't finish it. Not worth the 60$ we spent there. Never going to return. English should always be spoken in public areas. They all spoke their own language. My chicken burger was 2 chicken trips. No taste at all. I didn't get a picture of it. We dis our best to finish our food. We just couldn't do it.

Stopped at Smashburger after picking up some items from Staples. Walked in and first thing I seen was the smoked Brisket with bacon and order of Rosemary fries. Wow! That was one great burger. If you are over that way better try it. I will definitely be going back.😍

Stopped in for a quick bite with my son right before close. The server, Theresa, was friendly, patient, and accommodating of my son's specific food requests. The food came out hot and fresh. The kitchen staff did an amazing job with the burgers, and the fries were hot and crispy. I had the Double Classic Smash Burger, and my son had the kids Cheeseburger meal. Portion sizes are very good for the price. Fantastic dine in experience. I highly recommend Smashburger to anyone craving a burger.

Grease filled food, I got a double smash bacon burger It was so Greasy that I had puddle of it on my tray. I had the smash tots which also greasy and not worth price. My daughter had the crispy chicken burger hard dry and greasy. Sweet potato also just as greasy. I ate my burger because I was so hungry My daughter took to bites and couldn't Stomach it. We got a refund for her meal. Also they charge Individual prices per item. No combo And when I asked to get a refund I was given attitude. Not worth it don't go.

Really great burgers here. Cooked fresh and have a nice crisp to the outside of the patties. Restaurant was really clean and the service was great. A little pricy for the amount you get but the quality is there. I'd say smash burger would be within my top 5 fast casual burger places. Next time I'm in St. Albert I know where I'm eating.

I was excited to try this place as it had been recommended by a friend. Unfortunately it was a complete let down. My burger was so greasy that it had completely soaked through the bun so that was mushy and gross. The fries were fantastic but apparently a large fry is a lot smaller when ordered to stay. Hopefully it was just a bad day but i doubt Ill be back.

Incredibly bland. I got the Colorado Burger, which certainly over promised and under delivered on flavour. The jalapenos gave nothing, sauce was absent, cheese was very tame. The patties also seemed to not be smash patties? And completely lacked any seasoning. Thanks for the gluten free option though, might have to try a different location

I love me a semi-fast-food place with brussels as a side option! I got the classic double smash and sat by a big sunny window. The bun was soft, the veggies were fresh and juicy and flavourful, the burger was smashed, the cheese was gooey, and the brussels were wonderfully crispy and warm. My only complaint is that the burger and side hit my wallet with a $16+ charge but it was substantially heartier and more enjoyable than your standard top 3 drive thru places, and everybody s prices seem out of control these days.

Truffle mushroom swiss didnt have any swiss. ¯\_ _ _/¯ its in the name. Deep-fried pickles were soggy & over salted. The smash fries were good. Overall, disappointing.

December 23, 2023

Walks up to counter. Me: hi can I have a double smash combo Staff: hello how are you what can I get you Me: a double smash combo Staff: okay do you want a single or double Me: .... a double smash combo Staff: **charges me one burger... okay can I get you anything else? Me: ............... A DOUBLE SMASH COMBO! Seriously, has the best burgers in town. But will get two 1 stars from me because the entire Service staff has zero respect for customers and zero costumer service awareness. Grow up. Train your staff to not be obnoxious punks. He heard me say Double Smash combo the first time. Bunch of punks tryin to act tough and cool when all they should care about is the customer experience. Clearly management has no care for customer satisfaction.

December 23, 2023

Train your staff to respect costumers. If the phrase Double Smash Combo is confusing and hostile to your staff, then fire them after reminding them what the most popular restaurant item is named.

Absolutely horrible Burger probably the worst Burger Ive had in a long time it was cold the bun was soggy not very happy not a very good way to start your first order at a restaurant

December 23, 2023

HORRIBLE Food. Chicken Burger was Waaaaay Too Salty, was Very Dry, Had Almost No BBQ Sauce, Dry Cheese and Burned Black FF Onions. The Hamburger was Undercooked and had a Fishy Aroma and Taste. The French Fries Were Too Salty and Undercooked with a Burnt Herbal Oil? The Onion Rings Were Thin, Soggy, Limp, Undercooked Onions. We Had to Throw Out the Food. A Complete Waste of Money and Time. I Would Give the Food ZERO STARS If I Could.

I come to smash burger often .. this was the first time I order a crispy chicken burger meal and leave hungry .. there was probably the size of half a chicken finger in the burger The staff you have working at your location are ruining your business. As a business owner I know that every dollar counts and every customer counts. When you have employees who only care about putting in hours for there pay check and don t care about the business your going to see that your not going to have clients and eventually shut down . Not from the lack of customers or because of the economy it s from the STAFF!

Great burgers and better prices than most fast food nowadays. Smashburgers are my preferred way of preparing and their smash seasoned fries are great. Real ice cream milkshakes although they are $10 they are worthy as a treat. They serve beer and seltzers. If I want a burger I come to Smashburgers.

December 23, 2023

Terrible experience. Ordered a double Colorado burger, add fried egg and a side of smash fries, to go. The total came out to 40$. Told the cashier I just wanted one burger and fries, not two. 15 min later my food is walked out to me on a tray. I told the employee I wanted the order to go, and 5 minutes later I had a bag of food. I should have checked the contents of the bag, but didn t look until I had driven home. The bag only contained smash fries and a classic smash burger. I didn t get what I paid for.

This place used to be amazing in terms of food and drink quality. Visiting a few days ago was somewhat disappointing. The milkshakes in particular are very disappointing. I can tell the strawberry milkshake uses a syrup rather than actual strawberries. The burger wasnt too bad, but I could tell it was somewhat undercooked. This place used to put remarkable effort into their products. What is happening to this place?

Turkey burger came pink inside. Turkey can t be pink you get sick it s like chicken. Not pleased and will never eat here again if they can t get a burger right. Deep fried pickles were soggy but that was due to packaging. Luckily I own an air fryer and can term poison into something edible. Ridiculous

December 23, 2022

Been here many times and at first loved it but the last 2 times have been awful. First I ordered a bacon brisket burger and they came out giving me a burger with eggs and onions on it. I brought it back to who I think was the manager and she tried to convince me the bacon was brisket, the egg was cheese and that this was exactly what I ordered. After looking on skip the dishes, they actually gave me the sin city burger. This second time, my girlfriend asked for a gluten free bun. They came out with the normal bun, we asked them to change it, and they simply went back and swapped buns in 20 seconds. which is awful if you know about being celiac. On top of that, they brought out only regular fries instead of the smash fries my girlfriend ordered. This place was amazing the first 10 times we came but now its embarrassing how they keep trying to get away with this. Ive never had someone fight me on what my receipt said I ordered. Do not recommend.

Also, they have a sparkling bathroom and, get this, paper towels and even a garbage by the bathroom door. Good service, and we ll be back even though we live quite a ways away. But the deep friend brussel sprouts? I have a deep hatred of brussel sprouts and so I m not going there. You re on your own to discover those.

Just ordered from this place on UberEats. Was pretty excited as Ive had it before in Sherwood Park (long time ago) and this past summer in Calgary. However, this was a completely different experience! Burgers were good. I had multiple items missing from my order. Prices were outrageous and portion sizes were tiny. I get that prices are on the rise, but seriously - the portions on the sides were insanely small for the price these guys are charging. I will not be going back here. Serious waste of money.

Burgers are okay, I loved their tater tots, not a fan of their fried pickles, the sweet potato fries were more exceptional. The drink machine at the time was low on carbon but drinks that required water were good. Atmosphere was pleasant and inviting.

I was excited to try Smash Burger as I heard good things from a friend. Worst burger I have EVER had. I couldnt even eat it. Ordered off skip the dishes (shortly before closing-I found that out after ordering). The food tasted old, and was missing the bacon. The burger listed on the menu did not include onion so I requested onion on the burger. They passive aggressively put an insane amount of onion on the burgers. The same effort should be put into every order despite what time it is.

Sunday we saw the Smash as we went by to other places. Returned mid afternoon to a empty store.

I REALLY wanted to love my meal. This place has been on my list of burger places to go to for quite some time, and I was excited to finally make it there on the weekend. Although I was hungry, I was overwhelmed with the menu. A lot of the beef burgers looked so RICH, so I decided to go with the turkey burger meal. I m sad to say that my burger was VERY oily to the point where I couldn t taste any of the dressings or fresh ingredients. After a couple of bites the bun just seemed soaked in grease. I could only finish 2/3 of the burger before I just felt gross afterwards. To be clear: I didn t expect this to be a HEALTHY tasting meal of course not! You go to a place like this to enjoy a sinful and amazingly tasting burger. Maybe the burger didn t get enough time to rest after it got off the grill? I ll try again in the future and just go for a simple single cheeseburger instead. Also, the fries were great but the portion was kinda tiny. I paid $18 for my meal and the portion of fries looked like that of a kid s happy meal.

Do not recommend at all. Their chicken strips are a chicken burger cut into slices, their lettuce wrap was a saugy strip of lettuce (see photo), their Brussel sprouts are suppose to be a healthy side and it was soaked in oil, and their patties looked boiled and white. Fries were good, although I wanted a poutine and their photos show poutines but they dont sell them anymore. Would never visit again, quite possibly the worst burger I had and that includes fast food.

Great food. The smashed tots were different and tasty, the burger was great. But for a burger and fries it was a bit expensive.

This was our first time at Smashburger. The food was nice and fresh and hot when it was brought to our table. They also have the best chicken strips ( kids menu ) zip have ever had from any restaurant.The burgers were really fresh and tasty. The staff were really friendly and fun. We will definitely be back and also recommend Smashburger to other people!:) Thank you.

They gave me the wrong order and when I returned it I had to wait 20 minutes for another one... I had ordered a salad... the cobb salad comes with ranch dressing and they gave me one with some kind of spicy sauce.. Im 7 months pregnant and cant eat spicy foods at all. The burger that my boyfriend had tasted great but the portions for the price we paid wasnt worth it. There were maybe 13 tater tots in his order and it definitely didnt fill up the cardboard box it came in... also the cobb salad was just arugula, some shredded cheese with a spoonful of avocado and some bacon bits. I really dont even think that can be considered a cobb salad. Also when my boyfriend went up to ask where my salad was they informed him that I wanted a different sauce so I had to wait... I didnt want a different sauce.. I wanted what I had ordered and the ranch is what the salad came with. Im never hard on restaurants or servers ever because I worked in the industry for years but this was just not good at all.

I hate that the best burger in St. Albert is from a California burger chain, but sometimes that s just the way she goes. 9/10 big fan.

On the way to the movies, my family and I decided to stop my Smash Burger for a quick bite. Didn t seem too busy, great, should be fast and fresh! I thought. 20-30 minutes later, after a very long wait, we finally got our food. My wife and I got burgers that were cold, like... not a hot patty, not a warm bun, just room temp like it was sitting there for 20-30 minutes. Kids meal burger had nothing on it. No condiments. To be fair, it was warm. And the fries were good. But as a first visit there, I have to say I had much higher expectations and was disappointed. I even said when I ordered first visit here! Looking forward to it When you re competing against Five Guys, and Fatburger... you re going to have to step up your game! :) UPDATE: They have reached out to us to resolve the issue and try to make up for it. I have added one more star for now. Well see how it all plays out and may return to update accordingly.

Super great burgers! I had the Smash burger with bacon and it was amazing. Very friendly customer service and food came out super quick. For the quality the prices are great too. The restaurant itself was very clean and comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely be returning here in the future.

FINALLY, a burger that is fresh, juicy and actually tastes good!!! So sick of eating burgers (even at chain restaurants) where the burger is over cooked, dry and gross. Chicken and beef burgers were bomb from here. Will continue to get our burger fix from here.

Horrible customer service or lack there of I should say. Restaurant says it is open for take out but barely got through the door and was told too busy right now. Wow. I drove from Edmonton. Wont be back.

First time. Front end is not helpful. Not language barrier, it was laziness. I didnt bring my glasses and needed help with thier sides selection. She just kept gesturing at the menu. I felt rushed and humiliated and ended up paying more than I wanted. 2 meals 42.26 later, lettuce is wilted and small. Fries soggy and limp. Gravy too salty. Didnt take more than a few bites of anything we ordered. Wasteful and a waste of my time and money

This was our first time at Smashburger - ordered a bacon avocado club, smash tots, classic burger and smash fries. Fries, classic burger & tots were delicious, but my bacon avocado club was made wrong (had sauce I asked them to remove due to an allergy) and didnt notice until I got home. Called back to get them to correct the mistake, staff were apologetic and quick to remake the burger. Checked again and the burger was once again made wrong (sauce was removed this time but was missing the bacon AND avocado) but at this point I was hungry and impatient so I decided to eat the burger as is. The burger was juicy and flavorful, however I wish it had the toppings it was supposed to come with. Food is good but their staff dont pay attention to the details, even when its to correct a previous mistake. Will probably come back because the sides and burgers are delicious, but Ill be more keen to order something that requires no modifications to avoid this situation.

Ive given it 2 chances, both times, the burgers were sub-par. Thrown together haphazardly and carelessly. All items on the menu are quite greasy. Will be sticking to Jacks Burger Shack downtown.

Second visit to this location. The food has been great both times, some of the best sweet potato fries. Service is good, on our last visit the person working the front must have been new, so ordering took a while but the guys in the kitchen were rocking it to minimize the impact.

Tried smash burger for the first time and was very disappointed. One of our poutines had much darker gravy than the other and was insanely salty and disgusting. Chicken burgers were dry and the beef was bland. Don t waste your money here, so many better alternatives.
