Tired of your usual burger game? You need something new! Of course, nothing beats your OG classic favorite burger, but wouldn’t you want to upgrade it for the better? It’s a good thing that Smashburger is celebrating their 17th anniversary with a reimagined brand and revamped menu items. They’re going full blast on revamping the burger joint, so whether you’re a fan or just a casual burger lover, you would need to check this out!
Smashburger is worth every penny that you spend because they make sure that their made-to-order burgers are built differently. They have this thing called their signature propriety burger smasher, where their culinary experts use a special smashing technique to create a caramelized crispy sear to seal the taste and deliciousness of their burgers.
That’s how Smashburger differs from your typical burger joint that serves the usual patty that differs in spices. With Smashburger, they are stepping up their burger game using a unique approach.
Before we head over to the food, did you know that Smashburger is targeting a lively and modern vibe? Yup, they even have a redesigned logo that has just begun rolling out at some locations. Apart from that, they have a new color scheme and a contemporary typeface. Just head over to your nearest Smashburger location today to see the change.
New Menu Additions
Now that they reached their 17th anniversary, they’re bringing exciting additions to grace their menu. Check out the following:
All-American Smash
Made with a certified Angus Beef patty, the All-American Smash just hits the spot with your burger cravings. It has the usual filling of American cheese and crispy red onions. It’s also smothered with the iconic trio of pickles, mustard, and ketchup that is all sandwiched in a butter-toasted bun.
Bacon Stack Smash
Taking the certified Angus Beef patty to heart, the Bacon Stack Smash has got everything that you ever wanted in a burger. It has an applewood smoked bacon and American cheese combo that is smothered in creamy mayo. As for the greens, they add crispiness and juiciness to the burger with tomatoes and lettuce.
Chicken Smash Burger
Nope, this is not your typical crispy chicken sandwich, as it’s grounding the chicken to create a chicken patty. It’s even marinated in a special garlic olive oil blend for extra flavoring. As for the greens, expect your crisp lettuce and tomatoes, all sandwiched in a butter-toasted bun.
Scorchin’ Hot Chicken Crispy Sandwich
Now, this is where the crispy chicken sandwich is coming to play. Smashburger is also bringing a chicken sandwich with their own twist. Introducing the Scorchin’ Hot Chicken Sandwich, which is made of Tender Nashville Hot crispy chicken tenders. It is paired with pickles and mayo to balance out the spiciness and bring in a subtle flavor. It is served in a warm butter-toasted bun.
Spicy Jalapeño Smash
If you’re looking for a spicy smasher, then this Spicy Jalapeño Smasher is ready to take on the game! It’s made of a certified Angus Beef patty with a spicy surprise of grilled jalapeño. It is then combined with pepper jack cheese and aged cheddar cheese. And for another spicy surprise, Smashburger is surprising guests with a combination of zesty chipotle ranch that is all served in a unique spicy chipotle butter-toasted bun. I bet no other restaurant serves chipotle-infused dishes quite like Smashburger!
You can choose to pair these treats with appetizers such as Scorchin’ Hot Fries and Scorchin’ Hot Tots, which feature golden-fried and seasoned potatoes infused with Nashville Hot Spice. Both of them come with a ranch sauce for dipping.
And finally, to wash it all down, Smashburger is also releasing two new shake flavors that are perfect to pair with any burger. First up, we have the Peanut Butter Cookie Shake which is a creamy milkshake made with Häagen Dazs ice cream. It is blended with Nutter Butter cookie pieces for an extra peanut butter appeal.
But if you’re not a peanut butter fan, then you can have a taste of their new Salted Caramel Shake which is also made with blended Häagen Dazs ice cream for a creamy sweet treat.

Chicken Tenders
What’s a burger joint without their trusty old Chicken Tenders? These menu items are actually for guests who want a different order apart from their usual burgers.

It is served with your choice of dipping sauce.
Crispy Brussel Sprouts
Even Smashburger’s Crispy Brussel Sprouts side is getting a makeover! If you want to change your usual fries, then this side dish is perfect to pair with any of Smashburger’s classics.
