About Us
It was 2007, and we were starving for a good burger. Sure, there were plenty of them out there, but they all tasted the same rushed. Trading savoriness for speediness. Convenience over craftsmanship. A quick experience instead of a taste experience.
Using custom-forged burger smashers, we set forth to craft the best burgers, fries, and shakes on the planet (or least in Denver). And boy, did the people respond.
Clearly we weren't the only ones craving a better burger experience—our ravenous fans couldn't get enough. Our rosemary SmashFries® were so good that we started receiving hate mail from customers who couldn't stop devouring them!
We are beyond grateful for our initial fans’ support. It has been an honor to grow from our first location to serve Smashburger lovers everywhere.
