My wife and I went to catch a bite to eat before a movie. Have to say that we were pretty impressed. Overall we like it better than Five Guys and Steak & Shake. I have a bacon cheese burger, the truffle fries and a vanilla shake. The shake was incredible. The burger was extremely good too. The fries were ok, I'll just get the regular ones next time. Again, we really liked it and believe that this will be our new go-to burger joint.
First visit here, I ordered the classic smash with out tomato and onion. It came in a egg bun and this was a very good burger. It's a thin patty but to me it was full of flavor. Order the fries with olive oil, rosemary & garlic, they are like shoe string fries, they was good. Next time will try the spicy buffalo fries. I will back for sure. It beats 5 guys

The Orlando Burger Battle wages on: Smashburger steps into the fray. The Orlando Burger Battle has a new contender in Smashburger. I attended a media preview at the Waterford Lakes location recently, and boy, was I well fed.
Smashburger's claim to fame is, as you might guess from the name, the smashed burger. Each hand-rolled patty is smashed and seared on a buttered grill. The result is a crispy, flat patty of 100% certified Angus beef. Each burger is served on an egg bun, multi-grain or spicy chipotle.
I sampled the whole menu, or at least it felt that way. My favorite was the Classic Smash with American cheese, "Smash" sauce, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion on an egg bun. A close second was the BBQ, Bacon and Cheddar Burger with BBQ sauce, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar and haystack onions on an egg bun.
On another note, their non-meat alterna-burger wasn't bad. One of the best I've had (not that I've had many). The Avocado Ranch Black Bean Burger is served with fresh avocado, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and ranch on a multi-grain bun.
On the side I tried Smashfries, Sweet Potato Fries and the Haystack Onions. I'd choose the Smashfries alone on a return visit. Tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic, the Smashfries were a standout.
There are at least 11 different burgers on the menu or you can create your own. Yes, there's also a chicken sandwich option and several salads. But whatever you do, save room for the hand-spun Haagen-Dazs milkshakes. Hint: Salted Caramel is the way to go.
So, how does Smashburger stack up against the burger competition. I'd say it's a contender, but not the champ. What's your favorite burger in Orlando?

Say hello to Orlando's newest fast casual burger restaurant.. At Smashburger, the secret is in the smash. It starts with 100-percent fresh, never frozen, All-natural Certified Angus Beef and is smashed on a 400 degree flat grill to sear in the juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, the delicious burgers are served on toasted artisan buns and topped with a selection of fresh produce, real cheeses, and high quality condiments.
The menu is more than just burgers, as customers can enjoy a selection of tender marinated grilled or crispy chicken sandwiches and fresh tossed signature salads, along with a variety of irresistible sides. Some unique side items include the rosemary and garlic seasoned Smashfries, Haystack Onions, and Veggie Frites (flash-fried and seasoned carrot sticks and green beans). The restaurant will also serve a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages ranging from handspun shakes, root-beer floats in frosted mugs and beer.
Orlando’s first two Smashburger locations are open for business with a featured menu created with regional flavors and tastes in mind. Smashburger is another addition to the fast casual burger concept with more than 290 corporate and franchise restaurants operating in 30 states and in five international countries. The company began in 2007 with the vision of Rick Schaden and funding by Consumer Capital Partners—the private equity firm that he and his father Richard own. By offering fresh, premium “smashed to order” burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, signature side items and hand-spun shakes, Smashburger has modernized the way people think about burgers.

Restaurants specializing in fancy burgers seem to be opening all over the Central Florida area lately. One of the newest gourmet burger chains to recently open is called Smashburger. They currently have two locations in the area, one in Waterford Lakes and another along Colonial Drive in Orlando. Just before they opened to the public, I was invited to come try the Waterford Lakes Smashburger for a media preview. Tom Ryan, the founder of Smashburger, was there to guide us through the restaurant's menu. I tried some of Smashburger's fries and sides first. I tasted their Smashfries (fries tossed with rosemary, olive oil, and garlic), Sweet Potato Fries , Spicy Buffalo Fries , Veggie Frites , and Fried Pickles . My favorites were the Buffalo Fries and the Fried Pickles. The Classic Smash was the first burger that was tasted. This was a burger topped with American cheese, Smash Sauce, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion, all on an egg bun. The BBQ, Bacon, and Cheddar Burger was my least favorite of all the burgers. It was topped with BBQ sauce, applewood smoked bacon, cheddar, and haystack onions. It was mentioned that this burger was a big seller, but it didn't do much for me. Even with the toppings, it didn't seem to have enough flavors happening for my liking and was too meaty. The Truffle, Mushroom, and Swiss Burger had truffle mayo, sauteed criminini mushrooms, and aged swiss on an egg bun. The Central Florida Burger included Wicked pimina cheese, spicy brown mustard, fried green tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and mayo on an egg bun. This was the first time I've ever had fried green tomato on a burger as well as ever hearing of wicked pimina cheese. Since this was the Central Florida Burger, specifically sold in local Smashburger stores, I suppose I'm supposed to like this stuff. This burger was tasty. The Avocado Ranch Black Bean Burger was a vegetarian option that we sampled. It consisted of fresh avocado, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, and ranch on a multi-g
Delicious burger! My first try at smashburger and it was delicious! A menu full of options i’ll have to come back to try. The brisket was incredible! Clean store, fast food delivery and good service!
Always so good! Stopped in with our kiddos to dine in on Saturday night. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves which was nice since my kids can be rambunctious sometimes during outings. Didn't have to worry. Food was great and super fresh. I tried their chicken wings plain, no sauce and they were perfect! Super crispy like I like'em! 👍 Staff was nice and efficient. my only comment would be the woman's bathroom needed a good cleaning. It seemed like it had been neglected for a while.
Never had the burger chain before so decided to give it a try. It's on par with all the other franchise burger barns. Meat is a good quality, similar to another chain just better. Can't go wrong with a burger and fries, they have sweet potato fries too! I had seen signs for Hagen Daas as well. In and out, great service in a clean atmosphere and can't ask for much more. Worth the try!

Smashfries are the bomb! Gluten free bun available.
Mention the allergy. They'll put an alert on the order! 💙
Always a busy place. Understaffed like most of America right now. Clean Restrooms.
We watched the young man bagging orders put on new gloves after touching anything other than food wrappers. Thank you!
General manager [Jose] was positive and upbeat with customers & his 2 employees despite the restaurant being overwhelmed with orders.
Gabriel who took our order was friendly and quickly bouncing back & forth manning the front end.
We meet a young lady called Emma she is a hard worker really lovely person who served us with a big smile the time we pass in the restaurant she never stop working cleaning organize and prep to reacived other custumer is so great to young people who are passionate for whatever they do. Blessings to you Emma and thanks for be that great worker do you are.
Pretty good burgers, bring a light jacket as this particular restaurant is freezing. Fries are decent, you can never go wrong with Sweet potato fries, this remains true here. Skip the haystack onions, you're welcome. Black bean burger was mediocre, the patty was a bit too mushy. Would not recommend for vegetarians.
This is a diamond in the rough. The location is absolutely horrible, but I was very pleased with the food I was served.
My wife and I both chose the mushroom Swiss truffle burger. It was moist, tasty, tender and piping hot. I mean you need to pause a few minutes before you bite into it hot. If you can imagine that perfect cheese pull that cheeseburgers promise but rarely deliver. This one did.
I was excited to choose the sweet potato fries to go with my burger. Again, I was not disappointed. They were hot, crispy and tender in the middle. Absolutely perfect. My wife chose regular fries and she was pleased with those as well.
The location leaves much to be desired. It is awkward to find and there is no drive-thru. However, the food will bring me back.
The Smash Burger is delicious. I went back a week later just for that. Was not a fan of the Smashfries, but they do offer regular fries. The wings were fine but not as expected - I thought it came with traditional buffalo sauce from its photo but it’s a different sauce and the wings color was more of butter yellow not red.
The bathroom sink was dirty - as if it wasn’t wiped in a couple of weeks. The men’s bathroom door made a startling loud noise when it automatically shuts and it’s been like that since my first visit.
Prices are okay for the burger and fries, but the $3.29 for their small coke is on the high side. On top of that, the coke dispenser wasn’t working well and it put too much syrup in the coke.
Overall it’s good food but it seems this place is not well managed with little attention given to cleanliness and maintenance.
Good burgers. Loved the bean burger. Tator tots delicious. Loved the truffle mayo.
Hands down the best burger joint in the UCF area. Very welcoming and food was delicious. Burger was cooked to order and fries were perfectly seasoned. Anthony and Emma are true experts of their craft and clearly deserve a pay raise.
