As someone who is new to the Sacramento restaurant scene, I was pleased to be invited to try out the latest additions to the Smashburger menu, and believe me when I say I left extremely satisfied! Not only was this my first trip to Smashburger, (shocking, I know) but I also got the opportunity to feast on a tasty sandwich from their new Grilled & Crispy Smashchicken menu. It took me a good 15 minutes to decide what to get – everything looked so appetizing. So instead of choosing just one item from the menu, I chose a few!
The first thing I ordered was the Avocado Club SmashChicken: Grilled chicken breast with fresh avocado, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing and mayo on a multi-grain bun. If you are club sandwich fan, this is the one for you. The chicken was cooked just right and the combination of all the toppings could not have made for a better lunch. Let’s just say there wasn’t much left on my plate by the end of the meal.
Who can go to Smashburger and not have some fries? I had heard that the sweet potato fries were a popular choice, so I decided to go with those: Sweet potato fries tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic. I must say the mixture of the three ingredients makes for some good fries!
Now what is missing with this meal? A milkshake of course! I was very pleased to find out that they had a limited time milkshake available, which I jumped at the chance to order: Haagden-Dazs Oreo Shake. It tasted exactly like dunking an Oreo cookie into milk.
As full as I was by the end of my meal, I couldn’t resist trying a few other side dishes that caught my eye from the menu:
- Veggie Fries: Flash-fried asparagus spears, carrot sticks and green beans.
- Fried Pickles: Fried dill pickles served with buttermilk ranch dressing.
- Haystack onions: A big stack of thinly sliced, crispy onions, served with dipping sauce.
- Smashfries: tender and crispy fried tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic.
I highly recommend heading out to one of the Sacramento-area Smashbuger locations and trying out their new Smashchicken menu, or sticking with an old favorite. Either way, you will leave satisfied!
