Our first Smashburger restaurant opened in 2007 with one single notion in mind; to serve a better burger! Smashburger is redefining the better-burger experience with crave-worthy Certified Angus Beef Smashburgers, Big Dogs, and signature sides made with bold, real flavor. For us, food isn’t just about talk — it’s about taste. Every bite delivers proof, not promises.
