Burger aficionados will soon have another option in town, with Denver-based "better burger" chain Smashburger set to open its first North Carolina location this month in the Stonecrest shopping center.
The grand opening is scheduled for Monday, June 20. Smashburger, which currently has about 100 stores, plans to open up to four more Charlotte locations in the coming years.
In addition to their burgers on toasted buns, the restaurant (which really loves the word "Smash"), also has Smashchicken sandwiches, Smashdogs, Smashsalads and Smashfries. The restaurant also plans Carolina-specific menu items, such as a Carolina burger with BBQ slaw and pimento cheese and a banana pudding milkshake.
The restaurant will join a Charlotte burger scene with plenty of local and national players. From local favorites like Penguin and Big Daddy's Burger Bar to proliferating newer chains like Five Guys Burger and Fries, there are a ton of options for your beef fix. What's your favorite?
