If you like salty food, thin shakes and a long wait, you've hit the jackpot with this location. Came in at about 8:45 on a Friday night. Not terribly busy. They were out of fries, so, OK, we'll get tots and "haystack onions" to accompany a couple of their signature burgers. No special requests. Young man at the counter was pleasantly patient. Good enough start. Ten minutes later, our name is called and we're handed a shake. We like to enjoy our drinks with our food (don't you?), so we wait. For 15 more minutes (!) as we watch customers come and go and to-go bags accumulate on the counter. At one point, the expediter--whose title in no way accurately describes the job that was being performed--called a name that was difficult to hear. We had to approach well within social distance limits to actually hear and understand what he was saying. Literally, ear up to his face. I can sympathize with a soft-spoken voice, but maybe consider amplification if we are supposed to remain six feet away and discern what you're saying in a restaurant with plenty of noise pollution. That was the only name we heard. After 25 minutes of waiting, we approached the counter of bags and found ours sitting there. At this point, our shake had melted, although we had initially noticed through the clear cup that it was liquid-y to begin with. And not very weighty, which didn't bode well. Everything except the tots was soggy. Buns were wet and squashed (smashed?). Bacon was offensively underdone. The classic smash burger had the intriguing disposition of being ketchup-forward, without seeming to have much ketchup on it. Tots were so salty they felt acidic on our tongue. On the upside, the oversweet shake countered the salt, but it was the kind of confection that was really only half a shake, fluffed up by air and ice but not much actual ice cream, so that yin and yang didn't last long. On a side note, we also witnessed some unhygienic practices by gloved hands, eg, tucking shirts and adjusting pants, then going right back to handling food with the same gloves. So disappointed. Not for us. read more

Best burgers anywhere in our opinion! Juicy AND crispy ((how do they do it?), crave-worthy (will spoil you and make other burgers disappointing). Wow yum wow wee!!! read more

Went here for the first time and will definitely be back. I'm so happy this location opened up in Eden's Collection plaza with parking. What we ordered: a Double Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger, Smash Fries, Haystack Onions, the Smoked Bacon Brisket Burger and an Oreo Milkshake. PROS: -Honestly one of the best burger places in Chicago. -Food is fresh, fries were crispy and burgers were pipping hot. -The brisket in my burger was better than some of the smoked BBQ restaurants in Chicago- yes Smash Burger makes tender BBQ! CONS: -Floor was a little greasy, but that's expected, they make greasy food so don't slip! Not a con but a recommendation: They need to add Truffle Garlic Parmesan Fries to their menu, they would be a hit! read more

Over priced burgers and the loudest worst playlist I've ever heard. Can't I just enjoy my overpriced burger and fries in peace? I went outside to get away from the noise but they have speakers blasting outside. read more

I came in to pick up a to go order on a Friday afternoon and was told it wasn't ready but would be soon. I continued to wait and asked again after 20 minutes how my order was going and was told the same thing. 40 minutes pass by until my order was complete. What probably contributed to my long wait time was the big argument between the staff members behind the kitchen. The kitchen is open so I could see the manager and the workers loudly yelling at each other. During this time there were several customers waiting in line and even more waiting for their food to be ready. Someone behind me grumbled that he wanted his money back instead of waiting. When they were done bickering the workers seemed pretty upset and the girl handling the food haphazardly threw the finished burgers/sandwiches across the counter. This entire situation was super stressful. By the time I got home with my food the fries were cold since they were prepared first. My fish sandwich was fine but I was so hungry at that point that I just gobbled it down without thinking about how it tasted. read more

This location has been good service and quality of food for a long time except for tonight. Tonight, the two orders of fries were old, cold, and stale. I won't be back. Thank you for the past orders. read more

Food is mediocre and the customer service and wait times are the reason i won't be back here. Literally live 2 blocks away, multiple times I've ordered here and have had to wait over 25 minutes for a simple burger. This time I called them half an hour before closing, and they said they already started cleaning the grill...hmmm i thought you guys close at 10? Lol what a joke. Do not recommend. read more

I waited 30 minutes for a simple burger and fries, when I went to ask why it was taking so long they said there was a mistake. After I asked how long it would take they said they would start on it, after 30 minutes of doing nothing. They never went to update me, never asked if I was waiting on anything, and didn't even start remaking my order until I asked. read more

Great tasty burger good variety of options great fries excellent service place I was at went the extra mile, if the prices were a little lower I'd eat there everyday. read more

The food was actually very good I thought it was gonna taste a bit different considering this was my first time coming here & it's out of my comfort zone of the restaurants I usually go to read more

Got the colorado burger. I think it was good for the most part. If they didn't offer any hot sauce then the burger would of had less taste for sure. Employee cashier dude was honest about their selections. Wish the food had a meal instead of ordering the drinks and sides separate. very fast food like dining area. read more

I almost never eat fast food but this place is close to home and out of pure laziness I will stop by every once and a while to grab a bite. The food is just ok and never really consistent. But the real issue is the staff. On my last visit I counted 7 employees and a manager. After about 4 mins of watching 3 employees standing at the counter waiting on food to bag up I made eye contact to facilitate getting an order started. One girl started to make her way over to be only to be detoured by the ringing phone which she picked up and started taking a phone order. So back to waiting again...2 more mins go by and the manager (I assume he was by the way he was directing his staff) nodded my way as he was exiting the building. He did state someone would be with me soon. Well I assume EVENTUALLY someone would help me but I was thinking about sooner rather than midnight. After the phone order finished up I finally got my order in (this was at about the 8 min mark) and 10 mins later my food was ready. Meh for taste and even rate it at a full "blah" when you include the time it took to get it. Moral to my own story, don't be lazy and drive 5 more mins and go elsewhere. read more

Terrible burger , didn't even get my order right . Employees all looked like they didn't want want to be there , Makes sense . Finally got my food and i have to say the burger was dry , no seasoning, no flavor whatsoever . I'll never visit another smash burger after this place put a bad taste in my mouth , literally read more

The Double Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger was so damn good. It was hands down the best Berger I've hade in while. Victor, the guy who took our order was so kind. 10 outta 10 recommend. read more

The way the manager talks to customers is unacceptable. They admittedly messed up my delivery order by handing the driver the wrong order and then accused me of fraud. After 3 separate phone calls the manager still didnt understand who I was and which order I needed so I got a refund on Grubhub. Then almost an hour after this, the manager continued to call and harass me accusing me of fraud and saying I was Kyle. My name is not Kyle lol. read more

I was on my way to the Cub game when I stopped at the Smashburger on Foster Avenue. The food was awesome and the person taking my order pleasant and helpful (I have a hearing disorder.) The manager came out to help me and provided directions to the ball park. All around great experience. read more

Don't order online from here - they did a really disappointing job. Order showed up 1.5 hours after ordering, they didn't have part of my order in store so they called to substitute and it was not good. Also forgot one of our shakes so we didn't even receive the entire order. Again, disappointing. read more

I've gone to the location in Lincoln Park many times and that location was always spot on, fresh and never messed up my orders, then sadly they close. I was on foster and noticed there was a smash burger, I was static! I wanted to give this location a try. I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. I ordered 4 burgers for my family. Every burger was made wrong! I asked for no mayo on the Colorado burger and to add barbecue sauce and red onion. I got the complete opposite. With the rest of my family's order same thing, we ask for no tomatoe, they put tomatoe on. We added cheese on a other buger and paid the extra cost and was suppose to come woth lettuce and tomatoe and got none of it! It was mind blowing how much they messed up! Spend $55 and wasted every cent. I then called the store and asked for a manager to ask for a refund or a credit or something and the manager on duty said there was nothing he could do and hung up on me. THE MANAGER HUNG UP ON ME!! I was shocked! So unprofessional. I called and called and they kept on putting me on hold. I would appreciate if someone can message me back. Thank you read more

called for pickup ordered brisket cheese bacon double burger and large fries reasonable price pickup was ready when i got there employees were bery friendly and helpful burger was juicy and very tasty, and big! fries were good with sauce i will go back read more

Overpriced for what it is. Bought two burgers (just sandwhiches) total was $29. Both was mediocre at best.

I came to have a burger.. I live far not around the corner. Before I left my house I checked to see what time they cold and it said 10pm so I was happy am on my way and when I got there at 9:00 pm it's close not a single soul.. if they are closing early they sure at least update they website.. if I know they where close I could off gone somewhere but now i can't even do that cause it took a while to get here the other place is close now thanks for nothing smashburgers read more

My one star is more for my experience rather than the food. In my opinion, the food was typical. Nothing special. The service was poor. After placing our order, my family sat in the car and waited for over 40 minutes for food. My husband eventually went inside to ask for a refund. The manager said that he'd process our refund and that it would take a few days. Welp, today officially makes one month later and still no refund. I would never go here again! read more

I've tried this location several times because it's close and I want it to work. I order online and the food is consistently ready 20-30 minutes after the specified pick up time. Apparently they make each order of tots or fries individually. As if there won't be a need for them again in 2 minutes. I watched three orders of tots come out 5 minutes apart. It doesn't seem to be any particular employees, it just is how they do things here. read more

Never been to a smash burger and it exceeded my expectations!! Burgers are fresh and really good. Fries are hand cut and the smash fries with the oil and seasoning actually tastes like the description! I get some people had reviews for their service, but I think people have the idea this is as fast as McDonald's, but it's not that type of place. It's not a chipotle where food is instant. You have to wait a bit, but you're getting fresher food! To me it's fast causal and worth it! Great addition to the strip mall and the workers are doing the best they can!!!! read more

Stopped by yesterday for a burger and fries. $16 for a very small double burger and small fries. Ridiculous. Besides the wait was unacceptable. Will not return. read more

Went to this location for smash burger and was in shock with how unprofessional the manager was. The bald head manager was arguing and wanting to fight a customer after work apparently. Service is slow and took over 30 min for a 3 item order. The Mgr was wearing his mask half way when helping on grill. read more

Rude!! Ordered sandwiches... one came out wrong - told her candy she told us to pick it off. Then our shakes didn't come out. Took her sweet time... read more

Complete disaster, over an hour wait the crew does not know what they are doing, they were preparing food and throwing out food left and right, because had no clue who the food belonged too... plus the so called manager or leader with a nasty attitude had no clue how to direct the workers... finally got up and asked for a refund it's complete madness please avoid this spot... to top it off the guy cleaning the tables was just throwing water on the tables and not even wiping them clean .... corporate called they need new supervisors and direction so sad very upsetting this was on 9/10/21 at 7:15pm at the foster and Elston location Chicago read more

Good place with amazing burgers. Upfront their menu is a little bit confusing online vs in-person, but it's a minor thing. My girlfriend got a burger with the black bean patty, I opted for one of the chicken options. Service was really friendly, food came out quick even with a crowd, overall a great option for vegetarians and omnivores alike read more

My boyfriend & I each got a different burgers & we both agreed that they put wayyyyyyyyyy too much sauce of whatever sauce they had to put on our burgers. The burgers were literally dripping, the smash tots we got were good & the strawberry milkshake as well. However I think this was the first & the last time we'll be eating here because both our stomach were very upset the whole night & still this morning :/ read more

Staff was friendly but EVERY ORDER was a MINIMUM 20 MINUTE WAIT!! Come on, it's burgers and fries?!! They were making fries ONE ORDER AT A TIME! After waiting 33 minutes for a cheeseburger and fries I asked for a refund and left! Will NEVER go there again and I certainly will tell everyone I come across to AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!! COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE read more

This location opened earlier this year. I hadn't been to a Smashburger and was looking forward to it. I visited on their opening weekend and the place was understandably busy and chaotic, new crew, some pandemic measures still in place. I went with a single patty burger. They had no regular fries, so I went with the sweet potato. It took almost 30 minutes to get my order.The fries were okay, and the burger was very average... I make better ones at home so why go out and pay close to $20 for take-out? The food was pricey, so I was disappointed. Chicago has a billion burger joints, and to survive you really gotta knock it out of the park. I realized they'd just opened, and I gave them a 2nd chance, returning about 5 months later. It was a quiet Saturday early afternoon, just after opening time. Staff was friendly and polite and took my order quickly. My order was the same, this time though I chose the garlic fries. Once again I waited about 25 minutes before the food came. The place was lightly busy and not crowded. The food was as I remembered it before, the burger was just fair. The bun was fresh enough though lacking in any memorable flavor or texture, like a cheap grocery store brand. The food was not hot. The fries were okay, good serving size but forgettable flavor. I've had much better from places a short drive away. I don't think I'll go back... so many other choices around here. The location is a good one, and I'm sure they'll do good business, though picky burger fans won't be thrilled. read more

IDK a little confused with my order of Brisket double with thick bacon which was close to $15.00- WTH?? The brisket was a bit dry and the burgers inside were not smashed at all. Took forever to get my order ready due to ordering Parm wings is my best guess. On my last visit, I believe my Brisket had only brisket meat inside with no burgers at all which was sensational. This time not so much, perhaps a different crew?? I could not believe how long it took to make wings! I and only one other person waiting for our orders. This may be my lst visit at the Mayfair location. Sorry Charlie! Good day now... read more

I was curious about their new wings so I placed an order online for pickup a) the order took over 45 mins (the quote stated 10 mins) b) the other items in the order sat cold during this time while waiting for the wings (I ordered burgers, sides and wings) c) when I kindly asked to cancel the order OR cook up another order that didn't sit for at least 20 mins (while waiting for wings) I was told "too bad" and to "take it up online"! So - I am taking it up online here. SmashBurger is clearly not ready to serve anything other than burgers at this time. Also, I really like their food but the service at this location is offensive. read more

Super clean place with very efficient and hard working staff. They were super busy but everyone was busting their butts. Will definitely be back! Great addition to the area read more

this is now my second attempt to give your establishment a second chance. I arrived when the app said the food was ready and the girl at the counter said it would be about 10 minutes. I said ok and sat down. Waited about 15 minutes and asked again for the order. The male packing the orders said he didn't even see it. The girl then said we are working on it. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and continue to wait. Then the manager came in from outside and Again the manager was rude when I asked about my order that I waited for for over an half hour. Said to stop harassing his employees. Mind you I'm there for a customer order pick up. I've called Grubhub explaining the situation because I was asked why I haven't moved once I picked up my first order. They removed your establishment order and again I didn't get paid for it. I witnessed the manager send a girl home cause she was late but yet they were short staffed. He could of kept her and wrote her up at a later time cause they were busy. If I could give a half a star that would be too much!!! read more

Finally a turkey burger I can actually enjoy!! The cheese burgers were not too shabby either!! I loved that you get a choice of buns. The jury is still out on the sides but as far as the burgers go they mop the floor with the other nearby places! Downside, they take forever dine in, take out was shocking good! Unless my senses have totally gone awry, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you can actually see, smell and taste the difference. Enjoyable, palatable, INCREDIBLE!! read more

First time here and I will DEFINITELY be back. One of my new favorite burger spots. Got the Smoked Bacon Brisket burger and the Rosemary Smash fries. Absolutely delicious. read more

Smashburger - Double Smoked Bacon Brisket Burger and Regular Smash Fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm not sure why this place is getting bad reviews.. Each time I've come here the food has been incredible and everyone working here is super friendly! Yes. When they first opened they were busy so there was a little bit of a wait(however I feel like this is pretty normal for a new restaurant) Wish I got pictures of my food to share! But I would highly recommend the sweet potato fries and the Colorado burger! read more
