Wow ... just WOW. Smasherz makes a damn good smash burger. In order to explain why, I have to go…read morenegative on some other places: "Smash burger" seems to be the latest marketing buzz term from burger joints old and new, large and small rather than an actual way of making a burger. Some of these places make some pretty good burgers (I'm thinking of you, Sonic) that they call "smash"somethingorother but That. Are. NOT. Smash. Burgers. I just got back from Smasherz in Archer, Florida (their brick and mortar location; I understand they also have a food truck), and I'm happy to report that THESE people know what a smash burger is and how to make one. I ordered their "onion smash"-- "caramelized onions, crispy onions, provolone cheese, and our house-made creamy tangy signature smash sauce" -- and I what I got was a SMASH burger: The (two) patties had been smashed flat (such that they ended up hanging over the edges of the bun) and cooked at high heat to get that "Maillard reaction," through which the edges of the patties caramelized into a sort of "beef lace" while the centers remained juicy. That's a smash burger. Anything else isn't. Normally, I order a smash burger with grilled onions (and no crispty onions), mustard, and American cheese, but I decided to just take it the way the menu described it and I was glad I did. The crispy onions weren't over-bearing, the onlon/meat/cheese ratio was well-calculated, and their "creamy, tangy" house sauce was a perfect combination of (checks notes) creamy and tangy. The whole burger just worked perfectly from meat to onions to cheese to sauce to bun. I suspect their "original," jalapeno, mushroom, and veggie versions will be just as satisfying to those looking for specific smash burger types. And, based on the prices I've been seeing lately, you get a lot of food for your money. Yes, it was $10, but that's a double patty sandwich and I was full when I finished (I didn't order any fries or other sides.) It felt like more food (and was definitely BETTER food) than, say, a McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder, a Wendy's Double, etc. The last time I bought a food truck burger it was $11 and not nearly as large. The ONLY thing I don't like about Smasherz is that it's about five minutes from my house and I'll have trouble resisting temptation. And no, I didn't get a free burger for a review or anything like that. I don't know the owners. I saw the place, I decided to try it, and then I decided to tell you what I think about it, which is this: Smasherz is proof that God loves smash burger fans.
