Ok, I understand it's a fast food chain, but this location has seriously knocked it out of the park. I have been to a couple of locations in AZ, but by far, this one takes the cake. Service: I went around lunch time, which if you don't know, this area is around the downtown mesa business centers. So it can become extremely busy fast. The line moved fast, and the cooks were banging out the food as fast as possible. Friendly manager, and eager work attitudes lead to a great wait time. Food: Ok, if you've never had Smashburger, YOU NEED TO. The burgers are great, sometimes seasoned well. The other location I've been to overcooks their food. This one nailed it! The burger was so juicy, that my mouth watered as soon as I saw it. The fries were fresh, and everything was perfect. I even went to the manager to let him know how much better this location was. Overall: Please try this place out! I personally love the regular BBQ bacon cheeseburger with either tots or regular fries. Don't be afraid to try the Arizona burger that has pepper jack cheese, guac, and jalapenos! read more

I came in this location prior to 9:30pm (around 9:19pm). The cashier looked as though she was ready to clock out as she had her backpack on. I ordered fries with my meal and proceeded to order Brussel sprouts when I was advised fryers were shut down and cleaned. The restaurant doesn't close until 10pm. I was told I couldn't order any sides due to this. The cashier seemed to be in a hurry and leave and so I ordered the sandwiches without sides... I think that if an establishment is open until a certain time (especially a burger restaurant) then (unless they're sold out of an item) they should service the customer (not shut down early) unless they're short staffed and then the hours should be changed to close at 9pm (then shut down). The cashier left right after taking my order, the cook had to end up bringing my order to me. This was my first and last time here. read more

Visited Smashburger on a trip to AZ. I thought it was going to be like a bunch of other burgers joints but I was pleasantly surprised! The fresh never frozen beef is a highlight but there are multiple pieces that make this place 5 Stars. First, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the service. So good, in fact, I wanted to mention Danielle by name! She's a rock star. Our food was hot, made to order and tasted great. I figured that since I was in Arizona I had to try the Arizona Smashburger! Spicy but not too hot and the chipotle bun was something else. Soft, flavorful, and compliments the burger perfectly. The sides are great too. I really enjoyed the smashtots, taster tots with EVOO, rosemary and garlic. Yum! The Brussel sprouts side was super good too. To round off the order they have delicious shakes! Insider tip: sign up for their app, and you get a free burger with a drink and side purchase. I'll be back! read more

Had 3 people come in and get our food before us, with no cares from the girl in the front of the house, who was just chatting it up with other customers instead of paying attention to where our food is. read more

My husband loved his bacon cheeseburger and smash fries. Said it was flavorful and very good. Me on the other hand I asked for no mustard and there was a ton of it. The milkshakes were amazing and creamy. The food was warm and great taste. read more

service was on time and accurate. but the food was terrible. had the crispy chicken and tots. it tasted like the oil used was old and burnt. chocolate shake was the only saving grace. read more

Well, I'll start with I've visited this specific store for well over two years. I'm not sure if they e recently come under new management, but the service is lacking. Last time I went they messed up my order. No big deal. But then today I stopped in and was practically given the "we're too busy" speech, and pushed out the door. There will be no "3rd mistakes the charm" as I will simply leave this review, and STOP visiting this specific store. What a shame. read more

Wayne makes this one of the best fast food restaurants I've ever been to. His warm smile and welcoming personality makes me want to come in again and again! Food was delicious and atmosphere was clean. Wayne, thank you for making my day! read more

This was my second time going to this location on 9/3/2022 and I took my family for the first time as I had loved the burgers there the first time. We got there at around 6:20pm and upon arriving and walking to the front we were told "Sorry we are not taking any orders at the moment" I asked "why?" The female braided redhead with an EarPod in her ear and red sweater said "We are really backed up" I said "So you are not taking orders at all for the rest of the day?" She said "It would be about a 30 minute wait". At this point we said okay and we proceeded to sit at one of the tables. I set a timer for 30 minutes. As we were waiting more customers were coming in and were told the same things to which most immediately left. Even though they were not taking orders, they were still making food for online orders and sending them out for pick up. This was the first red flag, as I believe customers who come in person and choose to eat at the establishment should always have first priority. As the face of the company, you should never refuse to take someones order right as they walk in. That is how you lose business. There are no excuses as to why online orders were being taken and ours was not. And to be clear, when we arrived, there were already people eating at the tables. There was one customer, however, that came in and walked up to the same female redhead and was told she can order to-go. The cashier took her order in front of us. This was very upsetting as we were told we cannot have our order taken and we were waiting in front of the cashier the entire time and we were never told when it was okay to order. So we got up, stood in line and took our order next. We were told it was only to-go but we didn't care we just wanted to eat so we ordered anyway. That is very ridiculous to have to say that to a customer. The location of where the food is eaten should not matter. After we took our order and waited, more customers would come in and, again, were told no orders were being taken and they would leave. When we received our packaged meal, we decided to eat it at one of the tables. Other customers who were there before us were also eating at the tables so we didn't see a problem. In the middle of my family eating, the same female redhead cashier proceeded to come to our table and said "So I literally told him that you can not dine-in because we are only doing to go orders so we can't have you guys eat in here." At this point I couldn't believe the unprofessional attitude and lack of respect from this worker that I knew I would have to file a serious complaint. We told her we were not going to leave and that we would clean up our table afterwards--which we did, check the cameras. She continued to say her manager told her to say this and that "we are trying to get as many people out of here as possible". Closing time was 10 or 11pm. It was 7pm. There was no sign on the door saying any of these things either. We asked why the other customers were allowed to dine in and she said "because they we here before you." We didn't care and finished our food, enjoyed our conversation and then left. To me, this felt like harassment. How can this establishment allow people like that to become management or be the face of the company when people walk in? The first time I visited this location I saw a blonde male worker in the back of the kitchen vaping around the food, and now this? Even now as I am writing this, I realize these workers knew what they were doing, as to-go order receipts do not have the store number or order number. Ours only says "Chandler 9/3/2022 6:56pm check: 20074" and the order name was under "Jacob" Thats it and it is not enough to have because the company complaint website asks for more than just those details. Well played but I am not letting it go. We are so disappointed. And to be clear, we will never step foot in that location ever again. read more

A pretty good burger for the price. Their fries are far better though. The beers available are pretty good and their shakes are even better than those! If you're looking for a cheap burger, the In-n-Out across the street is probably better. If you're looking for great fries and a shake, this is the place to go. read more

FAST and Friendly Service!!! We used coupons so was WELL worth it. Everything was hot and FRESH! Thank you for the great experience! read more

I ordered through GrubHub for pick up. When I arrived about 15 minutes later, they did not have my order. Apparently the lady had to manually add in the order. She got it so wrong. I ordered and paid for avocados, there was none. I ordered and paid for grilled onions, they were raw. I ordered extra pickles, they were added on the wrong burger... the garlic French fries were cold, greasy & didn't taste garlicky at all. Overall bad experience, food not worth it. read more

I placed an order online. brisket burger with no cheese. I picked up my order, it had cheese. I came back in for them to redo. It took an hour to redo my order. You would think they would push up a redo to get out the kitchen quicker. They did not. They did not offer a drink, shake, fries nothing. There were no apologies or checks in's. They don't seem to be aware or concerned about customer satisfaction. read more

Girlfriend and I order our food, notice the woman behind the counter serve one of our orders to the wrong table, 5 minutes go by and she then realizes her mistake, no big deal. She then decides to put the order back in the window while our other order finishes. My issue with this is that the food sat at another table with other patrons, god knows what happened during that time, especially with COVID right now. I asked the lady if she could just make a new order and she said sure. The cook decides to put the order behind the counter and 5 minutes later, puts it up in the window as if he re-fired the order.... I find this pretty unacceptable, the lady behind the counter made an honest mistake and attempted to fix it for me. The cook however didn't give a shit. read more

My husband and I had never tried a food delivery service before and decided to try one last night. We've also always wanted to try Smash burger so decided that's what we'd have delivered. That being said, I'm not sure whether to blame our cold not fresh food on the restaurant or the delivery service. We order the smash fries which were ice cold and not fresh tasting at all. Very disappointing. Our burgers were good but also not as hot as we'd liked them to be. My hubby had the mushroom burger which he said was just OK. And I had the classic smash burger also ok but probably would have been better had it been hotter. Willing to give them another go but will probably go in and see if that makes a difference next time. And next time we try delivery it won't be burgers and fries. read more

Ordered the new French onion burger with crispy Brussels sprouts. My husband got the triple double burger with Brussels sprouts too. The customer service from Sasha was excellent!! She helped explain all the menu. read more

It took them 30 minutes to make fries and onion rings. Then asked for ketchup which took another 3 minutes. Terrible service for Saturday 3pm. read more

This was only my second time trying Smashburger. I was not disappointed. The "build your own" was awesome and my burger came out just as I like it. The shoestring fries were fresh and crispy, something that can make or break a classic 'burger and fries' experience. My daughter and I each got a burger and shared a large order of fries. That was more than enough food for the two of us and we even had fries leftover. The manager, Alex, stopped by our table to see how everything was. Great food & amazing customer service! We will be back, for sure! read more

The person who was serving me got my order wrong, they forgot to give me a burger, had to come back to get my burger. To add to that, once I got home my soda was the wrong size (it was a small instead a large) and finally, all the burgers were all smushed. Overall the food was good just bad service. read more

First negative post in the years I've been on Yelp but I am still waiting for a burger I ordered over an hour ago. There are people who are still waiting that were here before I got in line. I've never had smashburger before and it sounded like a great option over cooking after my wife and I worked late tonight. I hope to eat soon. I really hope so. read more

Stopped in during my lunch break. Was the only one in line and not one greeting, or acknowledgment i was there. Seen an employee standing the opening the same bag about 4 times. And another just bouncing back and forth not sure what she was doing. Good thing chipotle was next door. To get some lunch. Time loss 20 min. read more

Since my last review smash burger has discontinued the buffalo chicken sandwich. We no longer go back to smash burger. I dont understand why companies change the menu so much. read more

I have lived in the Fiesta area going on 2 years now . The only reason why I tried it because I received coupons ( which were excellent). The burgers were very delicious, homemade, upscaled fast food. The guy Jeffrey and the other young lady the night of April 8th was very nice . I would definitely come back to this place . The line was not long, but it did take a while to order . I work in customer service and sometimes circumstances come up, so it didn't bother me. Keep up the great job you guys/ladies !! read more

Fantastic burgers, perfect fries, and great management (Wayne :D). Make sure you dine in for the best experience (delivery and take-out orders sit out longer resulting in a soggier bun). They use high quality and fresh ingredients. The meals are more expensive than places like In-n-Out, but the increased price is absolutely worth the high quality. Go check it out! read more

The food continues to be goodHOWEVER their food costs are crazy. A $6.00 shake is the same size as a small adult size drink. $3+ for an Oder s small fries. I give up. Using a delivery service makes it even more expensive. Sorry Smashburger. I love your food. I support the community. No more. Between restaurants increasing food prices and delivery services wanting their cut...well the middle class gets smacked down again. Who suffers... not the greedy companies that whine about the COVID-19 is affecting their bottom lines. Shame on you for getting rich on economic tragedy. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on our way home to grab 1 vanilla Malt and 1 strawberry shake. There were 2 people in front of us and the guy at the register did not know what he was doing as if it were his first day- which is fine but where's his trainer?? We waiting about 10 minutes to put our order in which he didn't even know what a malt is. After we ordered we sat down and waited 20 minutes for our 2 shakes! Come to find out when we were in the car driving home there was a vanilla shake and a strawberry malt. The malt wasn't even mixed in- it was clumped up. Very disappointed. read more

We started with an outstanding and delightful server, Amber. She steered us to the best items on the menu which was outstanding french food. Could not have been better. read more

First time at Smash and I thought the burger was great! Had the mushroom/Swiss burger W/ the smash fries. Burger was cooked perfect! Slightly pink in the middle and the Char flavor was great! Mushrooms done well and cheese nicely melted. The fries between regular and shoestring were very crispy and seasoned well. All in all a great burger experience. Price slightly higher but, for the quality worth the extra! A go to burger joint. read more

I'm a fan of Smashburger at this particular location got my order wrong 3 times but the food was great!!

Got to say, I really enjoyed this burger. I ordered online and it was ready at exactly the time it was supposed to be and it was accurate. The staff was friendly and the burger was great! read more

I rarely eat fast food but as life works out sometimes that's what works. I ran out the house without my Credit cards that I keep in my phone case. I was happy to see they excepted Apple Pay but alas it would not work. I was very frustrated with my phone the manager said no worries those things give problems some, it's on us! I was very appreciative of that so I decided to come back again. This time my Apple Pay worked fine but I waited over 10 minutes for my food. I said nothing about it but they gave me a free side for the next time. They have my business, that's service! Thank you Smash Burger! read more

I've been to this Smash Burger five times now and every time I'm here my meal is delicious. I didn't give them five stars but their food deserves it because their food is really superior to other fast food burger restaurants. I like the clean feel of the restaurant. If anything keeps customers from coming here or it might be the price point it's just a touch higher than the competition. However, that doesn't really matter because the product you get here is really superior. If you're looking for an excellent burger, a choice of fries, and a shake this is the place to visit. read more

I just love Smashburger. They always treat their guests so well. I had a delicious Cobb salad there, and added 2 regular patties. Wow! Their meat is so good, and while adding ground beef to a Cobb isn't exactly traditional, it wasn't weird. I also want to thank the person at the register who took care of me. She is a rockstar and deserves to be recognized. read more

Smashburger - Awesome service! - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I placed my order online with ease(Beside fighting myself on what burgers sounds better). The location is visible from the street but has a nice back entrance and is fairly clean around the parking lot. The lobby is very clean and well stocked with ample room to be spaced out apart for covid restriction if you choose to dine in(available at the time of this posting). The staff upon picking up my food were very kind and helpful. Both of them made sure i had everything i need to enjoy my meal @home. I would recommend Smashburger to ANYONE that likes the taste of real meat and ingredients. Other places do not even come close! read more

First visit to the new location close to home, Excellent service and great food. Dine in food at fast food speed. I like it!!! read more

Check your bag if ordering to go. We were missing a sandwich. When we were there, there were only three people working in the shop. And watch that new Chorizo burger: way spicy even without the pico. read more

I came here about a year ago with my husband because my uncle actually recommended eating here. The customer service was great and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was very clean and smelled very nice. However, the prices are a little high in my opinion for what you're getting. The burger was average. Almost like an in-n-out burger but overpriced. The fries were seasoned very good but the fries were severely oily and were soggy within a few minutes. Overall, it wasn't a bad place. I would try it again to see if I have a change of opinion. read more

customer service was horrible the manager was rude and they gave us a melted milkshake

New to Arizona and decided to try this place. LOVED the burger. So many different flavors and cooked to perfection. I went to another location first in San Tan and decided to go again at the this location and still perfection! Everyone was super kind, very polite and welcoming. Personally... I'd rate it better then In-N-Out. If you get their fries, get it smashed style. read more

Very clean, the food is fresh and amazing, and the staff members are young but very friendly. I am quite impressed with this location! read more
