The wait is over: Tucson’s first Smashburger location opens today at 4821 E. Grant Road, bringing yet another burger option to the growing number of choices here in the Old Pueblo.
What defines a Smashburger? The media packet sent out by the company puts it like this:
At Smashburger, the secret is in the smash. It starts with 100-percent—fresh, never frozen, Certified Angus Beef and is smashed on a 400 degree flat grill to sear in the juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, the delicious burgers are served on a toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of the freshest produce, real cheeses, and highest-quality condiments.
Smashburger also serves milkshakes made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream, salads, French fries seasoned with garlic and rosemary, among other things. There’s more on the restaurant over here.

The greedy Romney-like promo implication being that it’s just a bit too much for those in the Old Pueblo to prepare a costly and unhealthy meal on their own…someone has to do it all for them…
yep,yep,yep Adam Borowitz.
Costly? Yep. Unhealthy? You bet. Tasty? Well, rosemary garlic fries are a nice touch. But the burger and shake weren’t anything special. But it’s in my orbit, so I’ll probably end up there again. Or next door, at the new Paradise, located in the other half of the late, lamented Buddy’s.
Where is Wilma’s hairnet? And plastic gloves?
Another burger joint? *YAWN*
Obviously you people have not eaten a Smashburger. I ate my first a year ago in Denver. It is the juiceiest burger I have had in years. It is a 45 minute drive from my house and is worth every minute. They have several variations and the fries are excellent. I hear they are going to open 2 more locations. Thank goodness. I don’t think I could eat another In And Out Of Here or Big Muck!
