    Went here for lunch. Easily accessible fast service. Burger was delicious i almost forgot to take pictures. The sweet potato fries were also very good perfectly crispy. I enjoyed the smash burger and the melted cheese on the burgers i love mushrooms so this was pretty good. The place was clean.

    I'm pretty sure this is the best Smashburger location I've ever been too. The burger came out so hot off the grill I had to let it sit for minute! The patty was cooked perfectly. The fries were as good as I remembered. As others said the customer service was fantastic, Kelsey was great. Nice location in the mall, glad to see it was busy - I was worried they would have a hard time with several other options already being there. Hope they stay for a long time!

    Stopped in Smashburger for a quick bite and Kelsey was so welcoming and sweet! My brain was tired at the end of a long day and she was patient, friendly, and I'm so glad she talked me into the Mushroom Truffle burger! It was delicious, buttery, and I still got my veggies on the side! The tots were PERFECTLY crunchy and salted, which I feel is rare to achieve that perfect balance.

    Kelsey , thank you for the great service.

    The burger was good but avoid getting onions here, we got moldy onions. Fortunately the staff was nice was able to change and make us a new order (without onions of course). The meat was good, it didn't have a animal like flavor. The cheese was really good and so was the bread.

    First time at this establishment. Ordering was easy and fast. The food came out quickly and the mushroom burger was juicy and tasty. The french fries were crispy like I requested. Overall, this was an epic visit to Smashburger. Love it!!!!

    TRUFFLE MUSHROOM SMASH

    The truffle mushroom burger was actually one of the best burgers I've had in my life. Along with the sweet potato waffle fries, it made for a much needed delicious lunch! The service was also fast and the woman working the front (I believe it was Alisha or something along those lines) was so smiley and kind and friendly -- really made the experience even more enjoyable! Causal ambiance, I sat outside and it was quiet enough for me to take a call!

    I had placed an order on-line for pick up and it was very quick. My order was ready within about 5 or so minutes of my arrival. I was welcomed as I walked in and the staff was very friendly. I got a chicken smash burger, it was good but would have liked a little more seasoning . We also got the Brussel sprouts which sound like an odd choice but they were so good, the hot tots (tossed in Nashville hot seasoning. They were spicy but yummy) and a regular smash burger which was beyond delicious. A few of the items were on the $5 (both burgers were) menu which is a pretty good deal and the sides just shy of $5 as well. I had a coupon for $5 off of $15 so it was like buy 3 get 1 free. Being at UTC there is a good amount of seating inside (including some bar top style seating so you can sit and people watch while you enjoy your food or shakes) as well as plenty of shared seating in the grassy/courtyard area outside. Overall pretty good food and experience and I am looking forward to heading back. Smashburger is a great, filling, budget conscious option in the La Jolla area.

    smash burger milkshakes area so the and creamy! lived their salted caramel shake a real treat! lots of indoor seating, friendly service.

    It's been ages since i visited a smashburger. The cashier seems new. It took awhile for her to get the order. We got classic burgers, chicken tenders and smash fries. The fries were still as good as I remembered. My favorite from Smashburger used to be chocolate peanut butter milkshake. Unfortunately they didn't have it here. The service was ok. We had to remind them about our fries order. I would come back to get a chicken burger and some sweet potato fries. Hopefully they'll have the shake.

    I'm not sure why the negative reviews... everything was absolutely delicious! I like burgers but to me they get old quickly. It would take a really tasty burger for me not forget and want to go back! Smash burger it is with that Double Smoked Bacon Brisket burger! I ordered the burger with Smash tots a lemonade and a Oreo shake. The burger was perfect with thick juicy brisket slices on top. I didn't how I would like brisket on top, but it worked together well. I enjoyed it so much, every single bite was devoured! I would've like more smash tots since they were really yummy and I think the portion was a bit slim compared to the giant burger. I'm not sure if I've had Tractor Lemonade before, but I'm a fan! The Oreo shake is one of my favorite things in general and it was delicious! It was not super busy when we arrived. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. The food came out quickly and the Oreo shake came out a bit later. I think the ice cream was beyond frozen and they had to put some muscle into making it, Thanks! Everything was better than I expected! Thanks for a yummy meal and delicious Oreo shake! 2024:5

    Turkey Smash
    Jack M.

    About a week ago, I was at this Smashburger location for a Yelp Elite Event, and at the time, I promised to return to the turkey burger, and I did, to pay homage. I had the single patty turkey burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was very good, although I did hit a couple of heavy pockets of salt. The turkey patty itself was very tasty and juicy. The burger is a great alternative to the beef option for those who do not eat red meat. The pickles, red onions, lettuce, and tomatoes were fresh and crispy. I liked the way they toasted the buns on the turkey burger. The sweet potato fries were great. They had crispy nature to them, were lightly seasoned, and tasted great. I would order them again. The young ladies at the front were super nice and helpful. This location offers inside and outside seating. It is located at Westfield UTC. Great turkey burger.

    Food is good it's a quick lunch if your in a hurry service is sell order. Not a long wait for order. Ambience is cafe style.

It probably has to do with solar cycles or something. Anyway, extra kudos to the them for being one of the first fast food chains to try and not make America any fatter than it already is. This particular location has a poor layout. In an effort to provide as much seating as possible they put small tables along the sandwich production line, making it impossible for a line to form and move smoothly during lunch rush. And don't even think of sitting at those tables during peak meal times, unless you like staring at crotches and butts while you nosh on your deli meats. Trying to get from the door to the back of the line is like trying to get out of a crowded elevator. No special love for the parking situation either. There's usually precisely one spot on this half of the shopping center at meal times, forcing you to circle like a great white or resign yourself to the ample parking around the corner of the shops by the dog park. The staff themselves are friendly and efficient and the food is consistent and good. And that's about all I have to say about that.

    CHIPOTLE @ CARMEL CREEK…read more This Chipotle is located kind of next to the Starbucks in their little plaza and there is so much parking here we easily able to find a spot walking in. This was generally the nicest chipotle I have ever been to. It is so spacious. They have high top tables they also have the low ground ones the boots they also have like the side ones overall this was like definitely a Chipotle that I've never been to and I was super excited too, and it was just so big and I had a buy when you were free in my Chipotle account my friend and I made our way on a Wednesday evening. It was pretty packed for just a random weekday and there are lots of people and we got in line and I was able to get a burrito and I got half steak and half Carnitas and this was super delicious. The guy that was helping me was extremely nice and they didn't really have that much brown rice left and instead of scraping it he had me just wait for a couple minutes which I did not mind at all just to get some new batch of brown rice and it was really nice and all their items are also just was really full. It looked clean and I got like sour cream cheese lettuce. Everything just looks so good and I also asked him to grill my burrito as well if that was possible and he did which was really nice. It was super delicious. I also ended up getting my buy window free. It was such an easy process and I only paid $10 for two items and overall I would definitely return to the Chipotle. I think my only issue is that the tables were all super dirty and I think it's just because of how busy it was in the amount of people that were sitting eating and leaving but overall the experience is great. I would highly recommend stopping by here. I really like the chipotle better than the other ones I've been to and the staff for super friendly.

All online orders. 3 times the wait time was crazy, it would've been quicker to wait in line. Almost all orders left something out or added something I didn't want.

Unfortunately I'm going to start going to one that's further away from my house.

Has this plague now hit the Smoothie machines or are employees to overburdened to deal with them? I walk back to my hotel and eat on the balcony. A Luke warm bite of my sandwich.

But I wanted to give credit to this McDonald's because they actually made my mobile order pickup super easy. Sometimes my family orders for me and just gives me the code. Other locations gave me issues like insisting the phone that placed the order needs to be physically there, or simply claiming they can't find it in the system despite me showing a screenshot with confirmation of payment, etc. This location didn't give me any hassle at all. I gave them the code, they grabbed my order, made sure everything was right, and I drove off. It was late at night, hardly anyone was in the drive-thru, and the lane was super clean. I also liked that they had a real person taking my order instead of that AI voice some locations use now, it just felt more efficient and less awkward. It's a small thing, but when you've had enough frustrating experiences elsewhere, you appreciate when a place just makes it simple. Not exactly a 5-star experience, but definitely a solid one with no complaints. Typically I would rate fast food restaurants 3 Star if it was just standard service, but I'll give them a 4 Star for just making it easy.

Drive thru was relatively fast considering how packed it was at 11:30pm, and the drive thru service was as good as one could likely ask for at such an ungodly working hour. The new jalapeño ranch club was pretty good, and the jalapeño ranch dressing was the primary differentiator in the sandwich as far as I can tell. So, it felt kind of gimmicky. However, the quality was there. Chicken was juicy, flavor profile made sense, toppings were fresh. The spicy chicken sandwich--I actually preferred it to be honest. The simplicity of that spicy fried chicken with pickles is one of Chick-fil-A's best bang for your buck hitters. The crunch, the interior juiciness, the spice profile, and the pickle quality all come together in a rare act of minimalist fast-food epicness.

And there are no Kohl's stores in Hawaii! Similarly, on the T-Mobile Tuesday app, there are offers for discounted movie tickets through Atom - we don't have Atom in the Aloha State! So - when I was in California, I was able to get my free Whopper from Burger King (because we can't redeem the offer in Hawaii - I don't know why)! Driving from Los Angeles to San Diego takes about two hours. By that time, I needed a restroom and something "free" to eat. I thought I could get three things done at one stop by going to the nearest Burger King. GPS said that the nearest Burger King was on the campus of UCSD (University of California at San Diego)...

It happened to be at the Campus Center with other vendors. (It's actually a really modern and artsy place while being clean, spacious, and functional!) I ordered the $3 minimum on the app (soft drink with free upgrade to large!) and applied the code for the free Whopper. I asked the cashier where the nearest restroom was... Around the corner...
