Smashburger, a fast-casual, “better burger†restaurant is heating up the Phoenix West Valley. The Denver-based restaurant will open its second Arizona location in Avondale, on February 3, 2010. After opening its first Arizona location in Tempe, Smashburger is spreading the burger love to the West Valley at its new location (9915 W McDowell Road, Suite 101) at the Gateway Crossing in Avondale.
Smashburger responded to the Arizona heat with a regional menu that appeals to Arizonians spicy palate. The Arizona Smashburger features a one-third or half-pound burger topped with habanero cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, chipotle mayo and fresh jalapenos on a chipotle bun. Arizona residents can also indulge in other regional menu items such as the Arizona Devil Dog, The Arizona Cobb salad and a Cactus Vanilla Häagen-Dazs shake.
Known for the cooking method used to create the perfect burger, Smashburgers start with a one-third or half-pound ball of 100-percent Angus beef—fresh, not frozen—smashed, seared and seasoned on a flat grill. Served on a butter-toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of real cheeses, the freshest produce and top-quality condiments.
The restaurant also serves delicious Smashchicken, Smashdogs and Smashsalads, with sides like veggie frites and rosemary and garlic-seasoned Smashfries. Diners can also enjoy Häagen-Dazs shakes, root beer floats, beer and wine with their meal.
