This restaurant opened in the same building as Paradise on Grant and Swan. The seating area is pretty minimal though they do have a nice sized out door patio.
You go up to the counter and order your burger or chicken sandwich; either one of the already created ones or making your own with a big list of options. There are a lot of freebies you can add to your burger or sandwich also and about 8 other add-ons which are about 75 cents. These include fried pickles and onion straws.
There are also 2 sizes of burgers (regular and big). We ordered the big size which was BIG and Bill couldn't finish his. I got a classic which had special sauce (a zippy thousand island), ketchup, onion, dill pickles, lettuce and tomato and i substituted sharp cheddar for the american. Bill got the american burger which had american cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and pickle.
The burgers were quite good; a tad salty but not enough to interfere with the taste. I guess they are called smashed because they are not perfectly round burgers; it looks like meat was put on the grill and then flattened unevenly with a spatula.
For $2 we got a side of smashed fries which are shoestring's with sea salt, rosemary and garlic. Really tasty and one order was enough for both of us. The rosemary was not overdone. I'm glad we got the fries with this extra seasoning because as they got cool, i was starting to taste the leaden and doughy flour-y blah-ness of McDonald's fries (which stay good for about 54 seconds after coming out of the fryer.) I'm not sure why these fries are called smashed because they are not. maybe just to stay within the theme of the restaurant's name which is not a very clever name.
We will be back. The meal we had with just water was about $15; a good deal.
