“ Smashburger: A Burger So Good It Ruined My Life I walked into Smashburger expecting a simple meal, but what I got was a full-blown existential crisis on a sesame seed bun. First off, the burger. This thing wasn’t just “smashed”—it was obliterated with love and possibly a sledgehammer. The juiciness alone made me reconsider every dry, flavorless mistake I’ve ever eaten. The bun? Soft, buttery, and cradling the beef like a mother swaddling her newborn. The cheese? Melted so perfectly, I briefly wondered if it was sentient. I took one bite, and suddenly my knees buckled. I felt emotions I hadn’t felt since childhood. I locked eyes with a nearby employee, who gave me a knowing nod—he’s seen this happen before. The fries? Oh, don’t even get me started. They were so crispy and golden, I’m convinced they were deep-fried in the tears of angels. But here’s the problem: Smashburger has RUINED every other burger for me. I tried eating a burger elsewhere the next day, and I wept. It tasted like betrayal. My friends and family no longer recognize me because all I talk about is Smashburger. My dog has started looking at me with suspicion. So, if you want a burger that shatters your perception of reality, come to Smashburger. But be warned: you may never be the same again. ”
“ Loved it. First time and ordered the brisket burger with sweet potato fries which were excellent. I want to go get another right now. Nice sunny location with a view of the Chugach. Employees were courteous and seemed happy ”
“ Smash what can I say. Always a go. I told everyone and they said they didn’t know. .A Smash in Alaska. You need to let everyone know there’s a Smash in town. I was at Cabela’s picking up some fishing gear and while leaving the parking lot, I just happened to glance over to My Right. It was like God opened the sky and dropped a Smash straight down from Heaven into the parking lot. Smash you. ”
“ We are here for the first time recently and were so incredibly surprised. The service was friendly, fast and prompt. The kenai dip burger was out of this world with some sweet potatoe fries and a milkshake it was one of our favorite meals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger! ”
“ Smashbuger in Anchorage was just as good as you would expect from this chain. The food was served hot and delicious, and it was ready quickly the restaurant was clean and welcoming when I entered. If you happen to be headed to this restaurant, might I recommend the spicy Baja chicken sandwich with a side of fried pickles? They are arguably the best items on the menu. ”
“ I ordered the double cheeseburger via UberEats and the process was extremely fast. Im very surprised that I received the burger and tots within 30 minutes. The burger itself was great and very filling. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the entire burger because it was huge!! I’d definitely order again when I’m in the area. ”
“ The food was great, but food was slow to come out, and I had to wait for service even though I was the only person there. ”
“ They were super busy (thank you tourist season) but they were crushing it! Burgers were tasty as always and they were communicative about the wait/how long it was going to be, which was really only like 5 min longer than normal. Great spot. ”
