Astronaut chefs have made numerous attempts to wrangle hamburgers into space-ready meals, from dehydrated-pickle discs to vacuum-sealed burger bottles. Enjoy what our starry-eyed brethren never can with today's Groupon to Smashburger. A fresh take on cooked-to-order burgers, Smashburger combines all the comforts of a well-stacked meal with the modest luxuries of expedient service and ample sit-down space. The menu boasts more smashes than two monster trucks playing tennis; Smashburgers(starting at $4.29 for a 1/4 lb.), grilled and crispy Smashchickens (starting at $5.99), Smashsalads ($4.99–6.99), and Smashsides such as the Smashfries fire up the hearts and bellies of all gracious guests. The Smashburger—100% Angus Beef plus quality veggies and cheeses on an artisan bun—takes center stage during most meals, while non-secret specialties, such as the Häagen-Dazs shake, keep mouths grounded, cool, and smiley. Depending on location, guests can also enjoy bottled beer or wine by the glass, though this Groupon is only valid towards food purchases.

Reviews

Four Yelpers give Smashburger a four-star average:

• The real selling point for me, however, were the sweet potato fries. Holy smokes... those are the best fries (of any kind) that I have ever put in my mouth. Like so good that a day later, I'm still craving them. – Jennifer M., Yelp
• I guess it's called Smashburger cause they press the burger patties while cooking on the grill. I had the bacon cheese burger and it was a juicy with a lot of flavor. – Michael K., Yelp
